Weird People Who Are Friends & Burning Man

Today is Wednesday March Third Two Thousand Ten. Even tho I have a pantload of work to complete before I leave I am getting pretty upitty about Dallas and Austin. I just found out some Burning Man friends will be at SXSW so that at the very least should be interesting. I am waiting to hear exactly when they will be at the event and with my luck it will be after I've already left but thats cool with me. These boys are waaaaay out there and sometimes lose a grasp of reality. But thats why I like them, they keep it fresh and whatnot. For instance, here is a reply from a email verbatim and I have no fucking idea what he is talking about. I need some sort of weirdo translator:

"Yo! Homes Miller you should entirely visit our dear friends Yuki Blanco Snow Falling over Loko eyes! Their based with a tight asian temple in the fort sand palaces of old nights!"

So, he may be referencing my friends Scott and Yuki who lived in Austin last year sometime or it could be something completely different. I like to think that I understand the weird and bizarre but sometimes I am just at a loss when it comes to some Burning Man folks. Thats why that event is so much fun, I am totally out of my element and always have new experiences.

Ah, Burning Man. What a freak circus. Whats interesting is that many of the participants never really give up their burning man ways when they come back to the default world. I didn't go last year and I am not sure that I will be able to go this year but I will return. Its too awesome not to. I am pretty proud that I've been writing this blog since December and I have not written about Burning Man yet. That event has probably made the biggest impact on my life other than sobriety and that is certainly saying a bunch. Its hard to describe what the vibe is like there if you have not encountered other burners or been to a regional burning man event. If you like music, art, freedom, self reliance, expression, and the ability to do whatever the fuck you want to do then burning man is for you.

I will relate my drug experiences there because that was what I was into esp for my first year. My brother was living in Huntington Beach and some friends of mine were living a few miles away from him. I somehow knew they were into Crystal Meth and went over there with the express purpose of scoring some for the event. Good thing that meth was not all that available when I was active because I would have been addicted to that shit in a jiffy. Very good stuff for an event like Burning Man because you feel like the energizer bunny when you are on it. I think the first time I went to the man I slept for perhaps six hours over four days and three nites and I did have an awesome time. I was a little bit tired after it sure, but I was able to score some more meth and BING ! I was able to keep going like a good little bunny. I plan to write much more about burning man but I want to organize it a bit more and not have it been this soc that I've been doing.

Crystal Methamphetamine. Thank fucking god its not available around here. Sure I could have found it if I really looked but I didn't and thats awesome. I have never done a drug that is more addictive to me than meth is. Its also very nasty and leaves all sorts of bad things in your system after you use for awhile. Whats weird is that I am not a big fan of cocaine but meth? Sign me the fuck up ! The worst thing about being in recovery for meth addiction is that is takes a very, very long time to stop having cravings for meth and there isn't anything you can take that would help with them. Ick, I have done meth probably five different times for a week or so at a pop and I don't get the warm fuzzies at all.
