Some Thoughts this week.

29 December This was my first experience with mushrooms. I'm glad it was with the right people,

And in a setting that was quit and natural. I think it will be an experience I will remember, much like the first time having weed. Can't seem to remember the first time I was drunk though.

It was a calm, kind, peaceful introspective moment.

I tried to keep my expectations to a minimum. I heard so many people say they didn’t do anything, expecting to hear and see things, or to have an almost religious moment. Obviously, these would depend on a number for factors and most defiantly can't be expected.

I still find it interesting that our brains are wired to have these experiences.

What I learned.

I need proper hiking shoes. Shortness of breath from smoking was really annoying.

I need a smaller tent…maybe a bigger tent.

I must pack a box with all my camping stuff so I don’t forget anything.

Friendships are absolutely vital, maybe even more so than family. 

My life is spent, working and then recovering from work. While I have learnt much from the past there is still much more for me to learn.

The concept of Adult Children.

Physical affection is a strange thing. Having a very unaffectionate family. I think more on in a future post. 

An Idea

A small container is delivered to the campground before your arrival. The container is set up much like a caravan would be. Bed, kitchen, toilet, or any other facilities. The container is then cleaned and collected from the campsite and returned to storage. 

Thank you to all those who have chosen to spend time with me.

War of the World's

The Perfect Boy Lyrics from 4-13 Dream

"The Perfect Boy" is track #11 on the album 4-13 Dream. It was written by Smith, Robert James / Cooper, Jason Toop / Gallup, Simon / Thompson, Porl.

"You and me are the world", she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

Always meant to be
I can feel it like a destiny thing
Written in the stars, inescapable fate
Yeah, it's out of my hands falling into your arms

And I don't want to get innocent
But I would love you to take my time
"We're on the edge of a beautiful thing", she said
Come on, let's stay here for a while

Oh girl, he is the one for sure
Oh girl, he is the perfect boy

"Yeah, me and you are a world", he said
But not the only one I need
The two of us is never all there is
That doesn't happen for real

If it was meant to be us, it was meant to be now
Don't see the sense in wasting time
If you're so sure about this Laurel kismet Hardy thing
You know tonight you're mine

And I don't want to get obvious
But I have to be gone by three
"We're on the edge of a beautiful thing", he said
So come on jump with me

Oh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oh girl, he's not so wonderful

Oh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oh girl, he's not the perfect boy at all

"You and me are the world", she says
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

And her heart maybe broken a hundred times
But the hurt will never destroy her hope
The happy ever after girl
One day finds the perfect boy

Nikki Sixx Wiki Bad-Ass

Wikipedia Bad-Ass

My first Wikipedia Bad-Ass is the legendary Nikki Sixx!The bassist and co-founding member of Mötley Crüe.

Here is an extract from his Wikipedia Page.

Early life

Nikki Sixx was born Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna, Jr. on December 11, 1958 in San Jose, California.^[1][16][17] He is of Italian ancestry on his father's side. Sixx was partially raised by his single mother, Deana Richards,^[1] and by his grandparents after his father left the family.^[1] Nikki later moved in with his grandparents after his mother abandoned him. Sixx relocated several times while living with his grandparents.^[18]
While living in Jerome, Idaho, Sixx became a teenage vandal, breaking into neighbors' homes, shoplifting, and being expelled from school for selling drugs. His grandparents sent him to live with his mother, who had moved to Seattle.^[19] He lived there for a short time, and learned how to play the bass guitar having bought his first instrument with money gained from selling a guitar he had stolen.^[1]
He changed his name to "Nikki Sixx", he said, because of
[a] long road battling a guy who walked away from me, named Frank Serafino, who was my father, and me saying, "[Fuck] you, I am gonna reinvent myself, you weren't there for me, and I am gonna become a man, called Nikki, create my own family and [fuck] you." At some point you gotta go. I carried that [fucking] baggage around for a long time, so [I] let go of that.^[2]
