haha sleep tight! :) I've been waiting for you to post. uhh that's not creepy?
Come read about my Lovely Little Rants
I am protective about my sleeping habits as well! People are creepy.
I know exactly what you are talking about. That hill is a very good nap spot. And yes, everyone does the sunglasses creeping. I am so happy that it is finally warm enough to nap outside in Rexburg!
Yay for spring:)
so with you on the sunglasses creeping. we definitely all do it! x
I hate falling asleep in public because I'm always afraid my mouth will fall open and I'll look dead haha!
I don't like people watching me sleep either! Maybe that's why i don't sleep on airplanes... Anyhoo, enjoy your toilet paper and secret millionaire!
You are funny! No need for tissues, use a sleeve!
I use to nap on Ralph Brown Draughon's couches on the 4th floor... those were the best naps. I loved Auburn.

I may take a nap tomorrow in my horse pasture... that would be lovely ;)
I have to say that am I loving your new low-key posts. I do like the fancyness...but I especially like the low key...ness. :-)
it's wise that you're a secret sleeper. too many people nap on the floor in campus buildings, which = awkward. sleeping on a sunny, grassy knoll isn't weird at all.
I loved taking naps on that hill when it was warm outside! Hahaha you are hilarious, sunglass creepers, yep we all do it.
i have the same phobia about people watching me sleep haha... what i wouldn't give for a nap in the sun right now! It's cold here... and i have a loooong to do list :(
Mine was on the 2nd floor of the library behind some plants. I had sunglasses (even though I was inside) & put headphones in too so I wouldn't hear all the people passing by. Enjoy the warm weather! Summer's the best there!
Ha way to go. Today would have been an awesome day to lay in the grass and take a nap. I saw a few people sitting around talking. I'm jealous. I don't have time to stop and enjoy it. boo. way to go though. Hope your semester has started off wonderful. I am also jealous you graduate at the end of this semester..

I started watching Secret Millionaire and would be in tears within the first 5 minutes! But after a few episodes I wasn't hooked anymore =\ Now I'm all over Shark Tank. *shakes head* But I mean, have you seen the inventions?! Babies that can fit on carry-on luggage. Yeah. Ridiculous.
Can't remember how I ended up on your blog but I love it! Specially when I saw that you're at BYUI. (I want to say RICKS. That's what it was when I was there!!) Fun stuff...

Okay, very nerdy and specific question - what kind of salt do you use on those tomatoes? (Gourmet sea salt is my livelihood, hence my bizarre curiosity!) Nothing makes a better snack!
naps outside are the best thing ever, but having people creep is the worst part. you're so sneaky with the shades. good idea dude.
So I only buy sunglasses, with the exception of my RayBan aviators, that people can't see me creepin'. Haha. Love this post :)
I just day for that picture!!!
Thats a good idea to wear sunglasses. I am a sunglasses creeper sometimes. I love that show.
I do the same thing with glasses! LOL!
hahaha i used sunglasses last night during a drama rehearsal and closed my eyes at one point! sneakyyy..
I was traveling once and decided to take a nap during a long layover. I found a quiet/deserted place in the airport and zonked out. When I came to, there were eight men standing around me. Turns out I fell asleep in front of a tv and some sports game came on during my nap. Oh how I wish I had your sunglasses at that moment :)
Lazy Saturdays

Chicago's segregation, seen via time-lapse on the CTA Red LineBy Dan Weissmann
Chicago's segregation, seen via time-lapse on the CTA Red LineBy Dan Weissmann
There is no news here. Nothing could be more every day – literally. I did something that one in 20 Chicagoans do on weekdays and something that I've done too many times to count. I took a ride on the CTA Red Line.
Seeing the city's segregation does not take feats of investigative reporting. No database. No fancy equipment. No special occasion.
Our segregation is visually stark on the Red Line. And I wanted to document it.
I only added two elements to a routine commute. First, I posted my cameraphone on one end of the El car, shooting as I rode, which created a time-lapse of the trip.
Secondly, I rode the whole length of the line, from Howard to 95th Street, and back again as far as Belmont (where my phone let me know its battery was about to die.)
There was nothing unexpected about what I found; the city shifts from black to white when going from the South Side to the North Side. The Roosevelt stop and downtown look less segregated.
The Red Line is the Chicago area's most-used public transportation. Every weekday, more than 250,000 rides start at a Red Line station – 50 percent more riders than its closest competitor, the Blue Line. And it passes through some of the most segregated areas of the city – north as well as south.
A single ride makes clear where the boundaries are. And provides plenty of opportunities for people-watching. In both cases, we tend not to look. It's awkward.
So we went there-- and then compressed more than two hours to just a little more than a minute. That's the clip above.
Below that is a slower, six-minute version. I hope you find it as hypnotic as I did. The links on the map should let you skip around if there's a part of the ride you especially want to check out.
A couple weeks after taking these images, I rode the Red Line again. This time to ask riders: What's this neighborhood like? Who lives here? Who doesn't?
The differences in people's responses were as revealing (and unsurprising) as the images.
At the Addison stop in Lakeview, where the concentration of white residents is especially high, I met DePaul University law student Mary Kay Chrzanowski.
"It's a very friendly neighborhood," Chrzanowski said. "There's always people out walking, exploring, seeing what's going on. Baseball games, festivals. Pretty nice, pretty friendly, pretty clean. It's a pretty great place to live."
Who doesn't live here?
"I guess I don't see a lot of children here," Chrzanowski said. "I see a lot of unique people here, a lot of different people. I don't think the neighborhood is limiting or exclusive to any one kind of person."
At the Roosevelt stop, where the city looks more mixed, I talked to Adrian Figueroa. He lives in Humboldt Park and was on his way to his job as a bar porter at McCormick Place.
"Every time I come over here it's pretty decent. A lot safer than Humboldt Park, that's for sure. More jobs-- different jobs that are over here," Figueroa said.
Who lives around here?
"Medium-class, upper-class people," Figueroa said. "You don't see too many lower-class people over here. Unless they're working."
I also met Rosin Thomas at Roosevelt, who gave me the most direct, revealing-- and moving-- interview of all.
Like Chrzanowski, she's a DePaul student, and she was traveling to school from her home in University Village.
"Sometimes I find myself being racist," she said. "On the CTA, there's a lot of African-American, or black people. And they're screaming on their cellphones. It's like, 'Why do 'they' have to be so loud? Have to be so rude? Have to be so...' And it sucks. There's something wrong with that mentality. There's something wrong with the statements that I'm thinking in my head."
My colleague LaCreshia Birts joined me along the way. At 79th Street, she talked West Sider Travis Allen. He was en route to visit his daughter and her mother on the South Side.
"It's not good to go outside at night time on the train," Allen said. "If it's after five or six at night, I won't come because the train is crazy—especially the Red Line. You've got older citizens getting their purse snatched on the train. And you gotta watch your back because you don't know who might be watching you or want to snatch your phone. You never know what'll happen when you're on the Red Line."
Finally, to see how the same idea plays out in New York, check out this YouTube clip from the 1980s cult film, "Brother from Another Planet" in which an extra-terrestrial lands in New York City looking like a scared African-American man.
By coincidence, the BBC has a feature today about the "A" train with beautiful photos and narration by New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik. Race gets plenty of play, but segregation not so much.

I want a simple modern logo which will be easy to remember. It must be something which will be easy to screen print onto merchandise such as t-shirts and shaker bottles. The logo design from bodybuilding.com works very well. The font is easy to read, it's simple and modern too. The color of the site this is going on is white, light grey and "twitter" blue. I like the idea of the bodybuilding.com logo where the image (in this case the arc) is on the left and the writing is in an easy to read font over 2 lines. I'm thinking that this could be done in a similar way but using a globe??? but feel free to experiment on this.

HAMILTON - When Kent Austin turned the Hamilton Tiger-Cats down in 2011, he had no idea he'd be running the CFL team a year later.
The Ticats and the Saskatchewan Roughriders both pursued Austin to fill their respective head-coaching vacancies in 2011 but he opted to stay in his job as head coach at Cornell University.
This time, the Ticats sweetened the pot.
On Monday, the club hired Austin as their head coach, general manager and vice-president of football operations.
"Last year the timing wasn't right, it was not conducive for what was right for our family in our opinion," Austin said during a news conference at a Hamilton hotel. "I had a tremendous opportunity given to me at Cornell . . . and wanted to honour that commitment.
"But things change and for me this opportunity continued to grow and continued to grow in our thoughts. I just thought it was the best time and my family really wanted to come.''
In his new roles, Austin is in charge of all football-related decisions, something he says was more attractive to him. Still, he was surprised the Ticats gave him a second chance.
"Sometimes opportunities come around once in this profession and if you pass them up you don't see them again," he said. "But for whatever reason it did and came at a time that was right for us.''
Austin takes over as head coach from George Cortez, who was fired last week after compiling a 6-12 record in his first season with Hamilton. Bob O'Billovich is also out as GM and is mulling over an offer to remain with the franchise as a consultant.
Hamilton's offence was one of the CFL's most potent under Cortez, who also served as the offensive co-ordinator. But the defence struggled mightily and was a big reason why the Ticats missed the playoffs.
Hamilton led the CFL in scoring (29.9 points per game) and passing (298.2 yards per game) and was second in total offence (378.6 yards per game). Veteran quarterback Henry Burris led the league in passing (5,367 yards) and touchdowns (43) — both career highs.
However, the Ticats registered 45 giveaways (second only to Winnipeg's 53) and were the CFL's second-highest penalized squad. Defensively, Hamilton allowed a league-worst 32 points per game and was second-last in yards allowed (409.2 per game).
The watershed moment in the unit's struggles came in Hamilton's regular-season finale Nov. 1 versus arch-rival Toronto at Rogers Centre.
Hamilton entered that contest needing the win to make the CFL playoffs against a Toronto squad that had already clinched a post-season berth and rested 10 starters, including starter Ricky Ray. But the Argos earned a 43-40 victory on Swayze Waters' 51-yard field goal on the game's final play.
What's more, fourth-stringer Zack Collaros calmly marched Toronto into field goal range after Hamilton tied the score.
"The two most important stats in football are turnover ratio and big plays," Austin said. "If you win those two categories you have a really high probability of winning football games.
"We need to eliminate turnovers and make sure we win the turnover ratio and make sure we have big plays and not just on offence but on defence as well, what we call explosive plays.''
The quarterback is a key figure in three-down football, something Austin is all too familiar with. So it's no surprise he believes pressuring the passer is important to a defence.
"I played the position and coached the position and sometimes you give quarterbacks too much credit in football," he said. "There are times you need to get after the quarterback and pressure him.
"Not all the time but certainly we want to get teams in second-and-long in this league and give the quarterback a lot to think about.''
Austin joins the Ticats with an impressive coaching resume but with little front-office experience. He said he will evaluate Hamilton's roster, its current front-office personnel and coaching staff before deciding what changes are required.
Austin said while he'd like his coaches to have CFL experience, he wants them to be shrewd evaluators who are capable of designing schemes that put Hamilton's players in the best position to succeed.
Ticats president Scott Mitchell was dogged in his pursuit of Austin, saying the former CFL quarterback remained on his radar even after he decided to remain at Cornell.
"I always felt Kent was a person that had the talent to scale beyond being just a head coach so when things clarified themselves in our organization I felt like he was the perfect fit," Mitchell said. "He's got incredible natural leadership abilities, he's a confident person.
"I think he is because of his success and because he builds a process that demands accountability. For us, I think we need someone who can be the face of the franchise that's running football operations anyway they see fit and brings a lot of confidence and leadership to the organization.''
Austin won a Grey Cup as the Roughriders' head coach in 2007 and helped the Toronto Argonauts win a CFL title in 2004 as the team's offensive co-ordinator. The 49-year-old also earned championship rings as a quarterback with Saskatchewan in 1989 and B.C. in '94.
Austin entered the coaching ranks in 2003 as a quarterback coach with the Ottawa Renegades. The following season he joined the Argos before being fired in 2006 but resurfaced as Saskatchewan's head coach for the 2007 season.
Austin led the Roughriders to a 23-19 Grey Cup win over Winnipeg at Rogers Centre and was named the CFL's coach of the year.
On Jan. 16, 2008, Austin became the offensive co-ordinator at the University of Mississippi, his alma mater. Two years later, he accepted the head coaching job at Cornell and is coming off a season where his team posted a 4-6 record.
Over three seasons at Cornell, Austin compiled an 11-19 record.
Hamilton hasn't won the Grey Cup since '99 under the late Ron Lancaster. But it hasn't been for a lack of trying since businessman Bob Young became owner in 2003.
Young hasn't been afraid to spend money, signing quarterback Casey Printers to a deal reportedly worth $500,000 annually in 2007. Last year, the Ticats signed free-agent slotback Andy Fantuz of Chatham, Ont., to a multiyear deal reportedly worth $190,000 a year and also lured Cortez from the NFL's Buffalo Bills with a four-year contract that was said to be worth $300,000 a year.
Next season, Young's team will be paying two head coaches — Cortez and Austin — but the Ticats owner believes his club has the right man in charge this time around.
"I'm not a fast study, it takes me a while to learn things," he said. "We still have to get better and Kent gives us that change to get a lot better.''

Pepsi to bring back Michael Jackson in new ad campaign
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - PepsiCo Inc. is going on a reunion tour with Michael Jackson.
On Thursday, the company is announcing its deal with the Jackson's estate to use the late pop star's image for its new global marketing push. The nature of the promotion will vary by country, but will include a TV ad, special edition cans bearing Jackson's image and chances to download remixes of some of Jackson's most famous songs.
Pepsi, which first partnered with The King of Pop in 1983, did not disclose the terms of its deal with the singer's estate.
Brad Jakeman, Pepsi's chief creative officer, says the broader "Live For Now" campaign was developed over the past 10 months and is intended to amplify the company's longstanding ties with pop culture.
Consumers in the U.S. and China will be the first to get a taste of the campaign in coming weeks, which is timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of "Bad," the singer's multiplatinum album. The campaign will spread to about two dozen countries by fall.
In the U.S., the company is rolling out collectible 16-ounce blue cans that bear an image of Jackson striking one of his iconic poses. Consumers will be able to scan codes on the cans with their phones to download remixed tracks from "Bad."
In the Chinese market, consumers will also see a TV ad featuring Jackson. Contests will also let consumers win tickets to a Michael Jackson-inspired show by Cirque du Soleil and leather jackets inspired by the singer's style. The global campaign builds on Pepsi's deal with the singer's estate last year to use his image in a commercial that premiered during the "The X Factor" TV show last year.
Although Pepsi is banking on the nostalgia Jackson can evoke, the partnership also resurrects painful memories. In 1984, Jackson's hair famously caught fire while filming a commercial for Pepsi at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The blaze happened after a spark from a pyrotechnics display landed on the singer's head. Jackson suffered severe burns and many trace his addiction to painkillers to the incident. Pepsi gave Jackson $1.5 million as a result.
The promotion is part of a global marketing blitz planned for the year ahead by Pepsi, which is looking to revive its brand and win back market share from The Coca-Cola Co.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high-powerenergy on a small area of the body. Despite its name, radiosurgery is a treatment, not a surgical procedure. Incisions (cuts) are not made on your body.
More than one system is used to perform radiosurgery. This article is about radiosurgery using CyberKnife.
Alternative Names
Stereotactic radiotherapy; SRT; Stereotactic body radiotherapy; SBRT; Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy; SRS
During treatment you lie on a table, which slides into a machine that delivers radiation:
- A robotic arm controlled by a computer moves around you. It focuses radiation exactly on the area being treated.
- You are not put to sleep. The treatment does not cause pain.
The nurses and doctors can see you on cameras. They can hear you and talk with you on microphones.
Each treatment takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Some patients receive more than one treatment session, but usually no more than five sessions.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
SRS targets and treats an abnormal area without damaging nearby healthy tissue. SRS is more likely to be recommended for patients who are too high riskfor surgery. This may be due to age or other health problems. Or it may be because the area to be treated is too close to important structures inside the body.
CyberKnife is often used to slow the growth of small, deep brain tumors that are hard to remove during surgery that involves incisions.
Tumors of the brain and nervous system that can be treated using CyberKnife include:
- Cancer that has spread (metastisized) to the brain from another part of the body
- A slow-growing tumor of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain (
acoustic neuroma) Pituitary tumors
- Spinal cord tumors
Other cancers that can be treated include:
- Breast
- Kidney
- Liver
- Lung
- Pancreas
- Prostate
- A type of skin cancer (melanoma) that involves the eye
Other medical problems treated with CyberKnife are:
- Blood vessel problems such as
arteriovenous malformations Parkinson disease
- Severe tremors (shaking)
- Some types of
epilepsy Trigeminal neuralgia(severe nerve pain of the face)
SRSmay damage tissue around the area being treated. As compared to other types of radiation therapy, CyberKnife treatment is much less likely to damage nearby healthy tissue.
Brain swelling may occur in people who receive treatment to the brain. Swellingusually goesaway without treatment. But some people may need medicines to control this swelling. In rare cases, surgery with incisions (open surgery) is needed to treat the brain swelling caused by the radiation.
Before the Procedure
Before the treatment, you will have
The day before your procedure:
- Do not use any hair creams or hair spray if CyberKnife surgery involves your brain.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
The day of your procedure:
- Wear comfortable clothing.
- Bring your regular prescription medicines with you to the hospital.
- Do not wear jewelry, makeup, nail polish, or a wig or hairpiece.
- You will be asked to remove contact lenses, eyeglasses, and dentures.
- You will change into a hospital gown.
- An intravenous (lV) line will be placed into your arm to deliver contrast material, medicines, and fluids.
After the Procedure
Often, youcan go home about1 hour after the treatment. Arrange ahead of timefor someone to drive you home. You can go back toyour regular activities the next day if there are no complications such as swelling. If you have complications, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight for monitoring.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The effects ofCyberKnife treatmentmay take weeks or months to be seen. Prognosis depends on the condition being treated. Your health care provider will likely monitor your progress using imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans.

What Bank Settlement Means for Fourth-Quarter Results
The settlement that ten large banks announced Monday with the federal government over alleged foreclosure abuses is going to impact several quarterly earnings reports. The reports begin Friday.
Some banks are confirming they will take fourth-quarter charges while others aren't yet commenting. MetLife, the insurer, says its contribution won't affect its results. Here's what public financial institutions have said so far:
Bank of America — BofA is a special case given it also announced a separate $10 billion-plus settlement with Fannie Mae this morning. At the bottom of that early release, which came before the official announcement of the federal foreclosure settlement, the bank said the fourth quarter would include $2.5 billion in pretax charges tied to "independent foreclosure reviews, litigation (primarily mortgage-related), and other mortgage-related matters." The foreclosure settlement will be about $1 billion of that, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Bank of America is scheduled to report its fourth quarter Thursday, Jan. 17. It said today it expects to report a "modestly positive" net income including the various charges. Analysts had expected the bank to report 19 cents a share in earnings, without today's charges, according to Thomson Reuters.

McCaskill Wants Relaxed Device Rules on Flights
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill says she's ready to file legislation allowing greater use of electronic devices by airline passengers if federal regulators don't act quickly to do so.
McCaskill has written to the Federal Aviation Administration urging it to relax current restrictions on using unapproved computers, smartphones and e-books when planes are below 10,000 feet.
McCaskill's letter says the federal policy seems to reflect an outdated fear of devices that run on electricity. She says it's absurd to retain the restrictions for passengers given that the FAA decided earlier this year to let pilots use tablet computers in the cockpit.
McCaskill is a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

| 8.5°C Belfast
Almost two weeks' rain is expected to fall in parts of Britain tonight into tomorrow, forecasters have said.
Pockets of northern England, Wales and Scotland can expect up to 40mm of rain before the morning - with isolated patches of moorland high above sea level expected to get up to 80mm of rain during that time.
The average rainfall for much of the country during February stands at just less than 100mm, meaning the overnight downpour will represent almost half that total in just a few hours.
But it is not expected to compare with the sorts of rainfall which have caused havoc in parts of southern England in the last two months, where homes have been evacuated and transport networks brought to their knees as flood water surged.
Met Office forecaster Krista Mitchell said: "A band of rain is heading over England, Wales and Scotland tonight into tomorrow, but it will fragment into the morning.
"The heaviest rainfall will be over the highest ground. People can expect 30-40mm - up to 80mm on higher ground - the average being 98mm for the month of February."
The forecaster said there would be some showers heading into the week, with strong winds, but would not compare with the conditions earlier in February.

We do raise 1000-1500 birds per year to sell, give to dog owner friends, and also to work with pups. And, our pups are guaranteed socialized better than any pups in the country. I have six grandchildren who are the best "automatic puppy socializers" in the world. The ones that survive are tough little machines. They will have been in the house, around the house, possibly on top of the house, down to the creek, in the creek, on a bicycle, in a wagon -- and been for a genuine dragging.
I have probably had more lies told to me about bird dogs than I have from students about cheating on tests and homework. So, I know about the disappointments and broken trusts caused from lying. Since I have stopped coaching football, I have decided to expand my kennel operation. We at Spin Top Kennel will deal honestly with you. We want your business and want you to tell others how we treated you.

Labour has launched a fresh attack on the Government's Universal Credit (UC) scheme after revealing that "errors" by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have meant claimants are being excluded from official unemployment figures.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said that in response to a parliamentary question, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which publishes unemployment figures, said the DWP had not been able to supply it with information in a way that has allowed the inclusion of UC claimants within the claimant count.
Labour said the ONS added: "ONS intends to include UC claimants within the claimant count once a suitable timely supply of information becomes available."
Ms Reeves said: "This is another error by incompetent ministers in their botched roll-out of Universal Credit. If David Cameron and Iain Duncan Smith can't ensure Universal Credit claimants are included on official unemployment figures, how can we have any confidence in their ability to deliver this flagship project?
"There are now serious questions about whether the Government even knows how many people are being left off official unemployment figures.
"It's time for ministers to get a grip of the spiralling waste and delays which are costing taxpayers millions."
The latest unemployment figures are due to be published on Wednesday.
A DWP spokesperson said: "The truth is that independent statistics show that unemployment is falling significantly and 1.3 million more people are in work than in 2010.
"We have been fully transparent in publishing the number of people claiming Universal Credit. To ensure consistency the Department released these figures alongside the employment statistics.
"Universal Credit is both an in and out of work benefit so some claimants may be working."

Ancient Biblical and Talmudic Judaism is heavy on ritual and light on theology.
In fact, if you look throughout history, the focus on ritualistic do's and don'ts is one of the things people have liked least about Judaism. Christianity, which is based on Judaism, did away with most of the rituals and focused on theology instead. Much later, Reform Judaism also stripped Judaism of much of its ritual. It has been argued that Hasidism also recognized the problem with dry ritual and therefore focused on community, spirituality and a cosmic Kabbalistic theology to enhance the practice of rituals.
For me, however, the fact that Judaism in its native state focuses on "dry ritual" rather than theology is incredibly appealing — let me explain. (Here I will focus on the benefits of do's and don'ts. In a following article I will discuss why the relative lack of theology makes so much sense).
My mother likes to tell me that as I was about to enter elementary school, the head of the preschool I attended called her and suggested that I should spend another year in kindergarten. It wasn't my academic performance that the woman was worried about. "Levi is not yet ready for elementary school because he has not yet learned to follow authority," she explained to my mother gravely. I admit it, listening to authority has never really appealed to me.
Based on this, logic would dictate that I should find ritualistic Judaism with all its do's and don'ts particularly unattractive. Yet I don't, and here is why. A life without any structured system to keep us disciplined is simply not worth living.

I prefer being straight I think. Us '90s people grew up thinking we had to be fucked up every day. It's hard for us to learn how to live straight. Mind you, I owe drugs a lot. They definitely make you more intelligent and cultivated.
I prefer being straight I think. Us '90s people grew up thinking we had to be fucked up every day. It's hard for us to learn how to live straight. Mind you, I owe drugs a lot. They definitely make you more intelligent and cultivated.
I often worry these days about whether or not I should give up weed. It's bad for me in all sorts of ways but it's also (and I know this sounds sort of pathetic) a religious experience for me being stoned sometimes. I see things differently stoned, both more childishly and more profoundly. When doing an MA I had most of my good ideas for essays and what have you when stoned. Visual art and music in particular become more vivid and miraculous to me when stoned. Finally, I write better when I'm stoned. To paraphrase Hemingway 'write stoned; edit sober'.
As for other drugs, I do cocaine a fair amount cos my friends do. It's okay. Pretty pointless though. I love a good hallucinogenic trip from time to time. MDMA is always fun but it's the comedowns that put me off. A nine to five is depressing enough without that to deal with.
I enjoy drinking but it quickly turns sour for me.
I can't imagine anything worse than being fucked up all the time.
dont give it up if its still a religious expereince. i gave it up cos our relationship broke down and became dysfunctional.
if it was still like that i would still do it.
Oh our relationship certainly is dysfunctional, just as soon as I don't have a book or a film or music or whatever to contemplate. When I'm lying in the dark for example, trying to go to sleep.
I like getting a bit stoned and walking around London. Again, the huge buildings become miraculous and strange. The 'ordinary' becomes extraordinary. I'm being a bit over the top, I suppose, but it recently occurred to me that that I probably won't stop doing it for a long time. Although every night is too much. You've got to ration out the eternal.
I think i'll go with only drinking and taking drugs in the summer. I found it impossible in winter because of lack of daylight.
It can be boring. You have to cultivate good habits. Thats why it's difficult. I cope by never leaving the house, downloading Japanese percussion based albums and looking at memes.
I've downloaded about 40 gb of music in the last week. And I've seen every meme.
I stopped smoking weed years ago and replaced it with alcohol. I've stopped drinking
Barring the odd day off I smoke weed and drink every day, have done for the last 15 years or so. I can see myself giving up weed, at least, within the next couple of years or so - ie; when I've got a job with more regular hours and responsibilities. But for that to realistically happen I'll have to give up tobacco competely I think. Whenever I've had time off smoking weed I've felt more stoned than when I was smoking it! And I turn into an insufferably grumpy, hyper-sensitive bastard, though I guess (I hope) this wears off pretty quickly after a couple of weeks. The main 2 reasons why I want to give up in the near future are to set a better example to my son and a fear of lung cancer tbh - otherwise I'm fairly guilt free for the moment, lol!
I definitely strongly associated getting stoned with enjoying music from an early age, which is probably the main reason why I've never given up. Bit silly really...
One thing I'm much happier to have stopped is binge drinking, which fucks you up the most I reckon. Since I started living in Spain where there are 3-4 bars on every street and good weather, I'll go out and have 2 or three beers every night, or when I stay in I'll have a couple of glasses of red. but I definitely don't miss the days of not drinking during the week, then going out every weekend and drinking heavily 2 nights on the trot and feeling like shit for the rest of the week - much better to space it out.
I'm currently having a crafty bifter and a glass of rioja and listening to E2-E4 on headphones while my son's having a siesta. This is the life!
I only stopped because I stopped enjoying it, although I carried on for years after it had become a chore. I found I had to give up multiple times before it stuck. The first time was very difficult. Each time the withdrawal is easier. Everyone gets moody when they stop. You just have to stick with it. Hope you don't alienate the people around you permanently.
So much has to do with the context. When I went back to England last summer for a month I didn't smoke weed for the whole time and didn't even think about it because I was out of the daily routine, it was easy. Maybe next summer I'll do the same then just stop for good.

Flyers, Hurricanes are busy as NHL camps open
- Flyers bring back Brian Boucher%2C sign Kurtis Foster
- Hurricanes swap backup goalies%2C trade for Kevin Westgarth
- Scott Gomez told to stay home
The parade of expected signings and trade began before 10 a.m. when the Philadelphia Flyers announced they had signed free agent defenseman Kurtis Foster and acquired backup goalie Brian Boucher from the Carolina Hurricanes.
By the end of the day, the Hurricanes had made another trade, teams shored up their defensive depth and Scott Gomez was told to stay home.
The Hurricanes also signed backup goalie Dan Ellis (one year, $650,000) and acquired Kevin Westgarth from the Los Angeles Kings for Anthony Stewart and two draft picks. The move was the first made this offseason by the defending Stanley Cup champions.
MORE:Season schedules
Among the defensive signings: Mike Mottau to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Radek Martinek returning to the New York Islanders (one year, $600,000) Cam Barker to the Vancouver Canucks (one year, $700,000).
Gomez was asked not to attend the Canadiens' camp because the team plans to buy him out next summer. If he gets hurt this season, he would not be eligible for a buyout.
Each team will get two compliance buyouts starting next summer to help them get under the $64.3 million salary cap in 2013-14.
Gomez, 33, will get paid his $5.5 million salary as he sits home. He scored two goals in 38 games last season and had seven the year before.
Foster, who signed for $950,000, is joining a Philadelphia defense that includes Kimmo Timonen, Braydon Coburn, Luke Schenn, Nicklas Grossman, Andrej Meszaros, Bruno Gervais, Andreas Lilja and the injured Chris Pronger. Meszaros has been cleared for contact after a heel injury but is iffy for the opener.
"We just felt it was a gaping hole in our organizational depth, and we were able to be aggressive with Kurtis," general manager Paul Holmgren said.
Foster, 31, played for the Anaheim Ducks, New Jersey Devils and Minnesota Wild. He played for Tappara in the Swedish League this season.
The Flyers sent Luke Pither (playing in East Coast Hockey League) to Carolina for Boucher and Mark Alt. Boucher started his career with the Flyers in 1999 and this will be the fourth time he's part of the organization.
"It's a bit embarrassing. I'm sure there's a lot of people scratching their heads saying what is going on, but from a personal standpoint it's a good situation."
PHOTOS:Opening day of camps
Boucher, 36, lives in South Jersey, but will be sent to American Hockey League Adirondack (Glens Falls, N.Y.) as an insurance policy for Ilya Bryzgalov and Michael Leighton.
Also Sunday:
-The New York Rangers re-signed defenseman Michael Del Zotto to a two-year deal. They also added defenseman Matt Gilroy, who split last season between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Ottawa Senators. He began his career with the Rangers.
-The Washington Capitals brought back winger Eric Fehr, who had played for the Winnipeg Jets last season. Fehr scored twice for Washington in the 2011 Winter Classic. He'll make $600,000 this season.
-The Buffalo Sabres re-signed forward Jochen Hecht for one year at $1 million. He had concussion issues last season but is healthy and was playing for Germany's Adler Mannheim during the lockout.
