So far I've gathered I am a music enthusiast whether playing or listening to it, I also am not one to settle for conventional methods or views, sometimes this backfires and slows my progress but sometimes this aids me on the path of life. I am fascinated by the human mind, mine in particular since it's the one I possess but certainly other people's as well. I can be fairly cynical and rather crass at times but I know when it comes to a subject/topic that I am particularly interested in I usually gain a very thorough understanding of that topic so many times if I come off that way, I am trying to push others to better understanding and hopefully they do the same with me as well. I have difficulty relating with people and a tendency to dwell on issues but I'm quite forgiving, both of these qualities can be both positive and negative depending on the situation. As far as in regards to psychedelics, if we had to put a label to it, I am a psychonaut, but I truly don't believe in that title as I think it automatically creates a separation between people and I think someone having taken 1 psychedelic journey can potentially learn more than someone who has had 200 psychedelic journeys. That term need not even apply to someone who uses psychedelics necessarily but I enjoy exploring the many levels of consciousness/mind/body through the use of psychedelics.
Your response seemingly leads to a paradox considering a username and avatar are sitting right beside the response I am quoting.
Well it hasn't passed yet, I think the point of the thread is to embrace what you are and define yourself now, instead of having others do it for you.
Indeed! I am a musician with no instrument but my voice, I like to headbang and I like to relax. I love being with like minded people and I love meeting new people! I enjoy the company of people whom i have nothing in common with. I like playing some video games, but more so I like tending plants, walking in the forest and communing with nature. When I am older I will be more of a wizard than I am now, but I'm doing my best! And I use apple products. This computer i'm using is a 13 year old iMac. Who the fuck has a running 13 year ild PC? that doesn't crash? It is my juke box and my type writer! anyway that's the aspects of myself that come to mind...
What I find is the inspiration I go to bed with at night is not the same inspiration I have the next morning and try as I might have not been able to recreate the exact flavor of that guy from the night before. There are no end to the nights and days and the flavors and the attitudes. No matter how set one seems in one moment, the shadows change the view of the landscape as the sun passes over head. I gave a thoughtful and sincere answer. I tend to be less long winded than many. As revealing and generous as your answer is, so much is left out. I do enjoy the way you express yourself though.
I go with the flow, like fluid Full of wisdom, like a druid Hell? I've been through it Dirty South is where I'm rooted Down here, it's really humid But I'm really used to it LULZ:tongue:
I am scatterbrained. It shows itself in conversation, my bedroom, everywhere. Mess. I am insanely passionate about things for short amounts of time. Photography, Harmonica, DJing, you name it. 1 month maximum. With the exception of psychedelics and computers. I'm a great boyfriend to your face, a worse boyfriend behind your back with beautiful woman. I'm a very social person and feel uncomfortable being alone for long periods of time. Is that me being uncomfortable with myself or just wanting to be social? It's a life long lesson. Thanks everybody for your replys so far. I think it's important to acknowledge the different parts of our personality manifesting itself in different ways to different people. Online transducer is different from drinking buddy transducer, is different from boyfriend or father transducer.
I am a person trying to make the best out of a life poisoned by severe mental illness in the form of bipolar schizoaffective disorder. I am pretty useless most of the time, but I am quite intelligent when I am on a good streak. I have a degree with honors in Mathematics. I also am a well-versed bassist who plays jazz and progressive rock, currently in a jazz band in Lancaster, PA.
In regards to what psychedelics have taught me about myself, I am no different from that which existed before me, exists with me, and will exist after me. I am one part of an intrinsically and infinitely layered conception.
Short term,a loving father, grand father and friend. Long term, a movable bag of meat that will mean nothing to anyone or anything in due time.
