That Time I Went to Hell

As I mentioned, a couple years ago (almost), I experienced some strokes, and I was hospitalized for a couple months (during which time, Queen Elizabeth died, in case I wasn’t confused enough).

Anyway, during the time I was drugged in the hospital, I spent some time hallucinating. Specifically, I thought leather was made from human skin. I also thought my high school now had a third floor. There were others, but those are the high points.

There was a severe storm while I was hospitalized, and I had hallucinations related to that too. Basically, I used to be mostly ambivalent about drugs. Like, careful how you spend your time, but /shrug. Now, I am opposed to altered states of consciousness. Following the time I spent hospitalized and drugged, I’m enthusiastic about lucidity.

Calligraphy

That year, after Christmas but long before Amazon.com and its wealth of options, my dad took me to the bookstore, where I spent TWENTY-FIVE dollars on a calligraphy book. I also got a Young MC tape (Stone Cold Rhymin’), not to date myself haha….

Exhaust

Back in the olden days (2024), we had cars that were powered by gasoline. One byproduct of the “Internal Combustion Engine” is that it emits “exhaust” as it converts liquid gasoline to energy. That specific subject is outside the scope of this blog, but the process is conceptually relevant. You see, these posts are similar…

The Witching Hour

I don’t know if this has always been the case, or if it’s a new thing. Almost every night, as the sun sets, I find myself getting increasingly worried about things that range from unlikely to extremely unlikely. It’s as if the sun represents hope and possibility, and as it sets, I feel like yet…
