Luka Modric

It's not so much that I can't... its more to do with the fact that I spent the entire day writing an essay on Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialism... never the best preparation for a wank, though I say so myself.

Mine was a 3/10... which is actually pretty average for a solo mission. :kiss: YOUR TURN, COLD GAME

The funny thing is, that Pitchfork quote is not even the quote I was paraphrasing... :P

The funny thing is, that Pitchfork quote is not even the quote I was paraphrasing... :P

I read a Pitchfork review once where they described Christopher Martin's lyrics as so brazenly general and meaningless that absolutely anyone could apply them to any situation or emotion and make them fit. I think 'Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones' is probably the best working example of that brazen lack-of-meaning in action. :-)

Don't blame John Lydon on drugs. It really isn't their fault.

I hate it. It reminds me of all the times I've been date raped.

LMAO "Those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head" "Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones" OH GOSH YAH UR RITE THOSE LYRIKS R SO MEANINGFUL

I would've gladly retracted my statement on the strength of this point alone.

I used to listen to Coldplay. Back in the day. So once I recognized their talent, but since then I've dismissed it.

Talking about Yusuf Islam and John Lydon in the same post = worse than talking about Radiohead and Coldplay in the same post.

The only unhealthy thing about marijuana is the price - and that could be remedied with a nice dose of legislation. ;) As for Yossarian, he smokes reefer almost every week without fail, but not every day. If he could afford it he'd have a toke every night before bed though.

Anyone whos EVER listened to a Radiohead album knows comparing them to Coldplay is like comparing gold to shit; it just isn't the done thing. And - though Coldplay aren't exactly my cup of tea - I'd sooner listen to them than the Sex Pistols any day of the week. Any criticism coming from a self-proclaimed punk, not to mention reality TV star and the face of Country life butter, really should be ignored. :rolleyes:

That's how Yossarian consistently avoided banishment when he was a fugitive... you know, back in the day.

Er yeah. I'm not saying opium should be freely sold from chemists across the country; I'm saying that if I should choose to induce a spiritual experience using psychedelic drugs from time to time, who are you to tell me I can't?

It is only in the last 50 years, and only in the Western world, that 'drugs' have been rendered illegal. 50-odd years ago I could've bought herb from any fine market in our free country. ;) So you tell me why I should suddenly accept 'drugs' (an extremely misleading blanket term that covers everything from alcohol to heroine regardless of associations between the two, by the by), which have been used religiously and ceremoniously for thousands of years in helping shaman achieve altered states of consciousness, as ILLEGAL, just because white man's daddy government tells me it is so? :\ "You can't make NATURE illegal!" Bill Hicks

Wouldn't you rather listen to DJ Skream or DJ Shadow or 2manyDjs or Beach House or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Radiohead or someone like that? Someone good?

Yossarians mushroom reading list The Book of Chuang Tzu The Bhagavad Gita Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu The Sufis, Idries Shah Catch 22, Joseph Heller The Transformed Mind, His Holiness the Dali Lama Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov Notes from Underground, Fyodor Dostoevsky Concepts of God in Africa, Josh S.

This thread is Yossarians whole area! :-) Yossarian had a hugely successful season this year. Not only did he manage to pad out his new student digs with two full jars of liberty caps freshly picked from the English countryside, he also successfully managed his first grow operation this November, providing him another jar of really delicious Ecuadorian cubensis. Will next be growing in January and have my eye on some nice Mexicana. The spiritual and entheogenic importance of the magic mushroom is well documented and beyond exaggeration; They are in no way a recreational drug and should not be treated or regarded as such. If you ARE looking for a recreational trip then LSD is - contrary to popular belief - a much better choice. In my experience LSD is quite artificial and mechanical in tone, in some ways ethereal, compared to Psilocybin’s natural and earthy feel. The experience tends to be more delicate than that of Psilocybin; true immersion is harder to attain and more vulnerable to dissolution at the hands of distraction. LSD seems to lack some, if not all, of the humanist qualities and childlike tranquility for which I so love psilocybin. Shared Psilocybin sessions tend to exhibit less variation in individual experiences than LSD, which makes communication under the influence of Psilocybin more difficult but less necessary. LSD on the other hand produces vastly different individual experiences in any group setting which can be difficult to keep track of and lead to chronic misunderstandings. The most notable thing about LSD use as far as I'm concerned is the somewhat cliquey aspect of the drug; Acid users consider themselves acid people. They look down on the use of other hallucinogens, particularly Psilocybin, as though it is 'below them', they are 'too good for it'. They are without a shadow of a doubt the drug subculture most susceptible to misinformation. And on that note, the following LSD facts are wrong. 1) LSD stays in your body/brain/spinal column forever. It really doesn't. 2) LSD causes flashbacks. It really doesn't, and anyone who claims they experience flashbacks with any kind of regularity has been grossly misinformed. Worse yet, anyone who claims the ability to induce flashbacks voluntarily is, in short, a pretentious ****. 3) Take LSD more than 7/10/15 times and you're legally insane. Yossarian's best friend, who is a bit of a self-proclaimed 'acid head', genuinely claimed this with a straight face once; demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of not just the drug itself but basic human psychology as well as the legal system. :rolleyes: It's well documented that acid users have a tendency towards cliquey-ness and exhibitionism, even in The Psychedelic Experience by Timothy Leary, of all places. Yossarian has a bit of apprehension regarding the whole acid scene, because he's seen it turn some of his friends into - not raving lunatics, but - pretentious ******s, who care more about coming across as an 'acid head' than they do about the experience itself and what they can learn and teach from it. Indeed, last week Yossarian was discussing the mushroom experience whilst coming off of the drug with an acid head whos only response to Yossarians revelation that he accidentally miscalculated the dose was "Well at least it wasn't LSD; That shit can really fuck you up boy..." :dozey: Personally, Yossarian has never walked away from an LSD experience feeling the same kind of spiritual and emotional benefits he feels after every mushroom trip. If you're only ever going to try one, ensure it is the latter. Yossarian is going to be writing his dissertation on the validity of spiritual experiences attained through the use of entheogenic drugs, you know; This is his whole area of expertise. :cool:

Do you honestly not think one day you'll outgrow Coldplay? I stopped listening to Coldplay when I was like 15.

sO YOU DO not like coldplay?
