Freestyle Lyrics
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Alot of people said that they couldn't understand what I was saying due to the shitty quality, so I took the time to write the lyrics down.
Lyrics to the song:
Freestyle Jam Lyrics
I went down to the couldesac
to find my spirit animal
there was a wildebeest
strong he was he looked at me
that wildebeest
hiding in the trees
I saw his eyes
he looked at me
he did not look so surprized
to see me in the middle of the couldesac
ready for him
not so unaware
I was quite prepared
I sat ready, crouched in the kneeling position
ready to pray
pray to my god
that the wildebeest did not
did not take me
take me for his next meal
wildebeests they love to eat
wildebeests they love to eat
wildebeests they love to eat
love to eat all the people in the couldesac
1 2 3
I counted the wildebeests
the set some sort of triangle formation
and surrounded me
military tactics they did use
and my senses they did confuse
I did not know what to do
I did not know up from down
I did not know what was all around
I was so high so high so high
high in the sky
I was flyin around like a kite
or like a cloud
or like a cloud hangin around around with the birds and the sun
he didnt have raisens though,
not that sun
from the commercials that you see on the tv, no
a different sun
a dark sun
a black sun
eclipsed by the light
I saw the light I saw
my own soul eclipsed by the sun
my own soul eclipsed by the one
my own soul eclipsed by the sun
ohhh my own soul
my own soul
eclipsed my the sun oh oh wow wow wow
I cant believe how high I am right now
I just wanna lift some weights and get real jacked
and beat up all the guys and beat up all the football superstars
you know I could be a popular guy
I could be the guy thats way high in the sky
with the sunglasses on and the letter jacket
I could be cool just like all those other guys
jack tim tom and the other guy
(dan)
they're all tight
dan especially hes my friends
but not really he just acts so tight
I want to be the star football player
with the pretty girl
I want to be the star football player
with the pretty girl
with the curly hair
and the blonde locks and the blue eyes
I could be your superstar
I could be your superstar
1 2 3
I count the wildebeests
they're still watchin me
I'm walkin all around
couldesacs are made of circles
you might not know
kind of like a circle
or a spiral
spirals go round round and round
twisting down, down the curls of my frown
I cant know
what I need to know
you cant teach me
all the things I need to know
I dont know
what you're tryin to tell me
teach me a lesson about
girls and boys
and how they play together
with their toys
I like to hang out in the grass
the teacher was teaching a
more difficult lesson than I could percieve
I was out side
when the high started to die
I felt the sun fall down on me
I laid down on my back
and I could see myself
between my nipple and the crack of my own chest
between my nipples and the crack of my own breast
I tried to cry
I tried to cry for my mom and dad
but they werent there
no mom and dad are gone
mom and dad are gone
so gone
goodbye mom and dad,
but I kind of miss you.
All lyrics are original, and were thought up in real time as that video was shot :P

Morning Glory
Saturday, March 24, 2007
A new video, and a blog on last night's events:
Watch, comment, and rate it on YouTube
The video is a freestyle guitar and vocal performance by John Kaplan, Chris Daly, and I. I was inspired for some strange reason, to sing a strange song about an animal called a "Wildabeast"
Why? Morning Glory. Seeds that anyone, even a small child could buy, from any store that specializes in gardening. The seeds and the flowers contain a chemical known as LSA or d-lysergic acid amide. This chemical is generally considered a precursor to LSD, but in my experience with it, it is very well a force to be reckoned with on its own. In case you're wondering how closely the two are related, LSD contains a chemical called lysergic acide diethylamide. I later read that LSA is, in quantity, 10-15% as potent as LSD, but large quantities would have to be consumed (of the seeds, since they have only trace amounts of LSA in them) in order to gain some type of psychedelic effect. 350 seeds turned out to be enough. It turns out that each seed contains about 1ug (1 microgram, or .0o1mg) LSA. That means we took in .35 mg of LSA. The average "hit" dose of LSD in the 1960's was 100-150 ug. Using the data that says LSA is 10% as potent as LSD, then we took in 2.3 - 3.5 hits of acid. Menards sold me drugs.
As for the effects; more that I had anticipated. The seeds were very bitter, and upset my stomach quite a bit. I nearly vomited. However, I found that when I went outside, the fresh air helped my nausea disappear almost completely. I breathed deeply.
Suddenly I noticed an odd feeling. A tingling sensation at the back of my neck, like someone was watching me. I felt the presence of a handful of people walking around me. It sort of felt like walking around in the mall, but not being able to see all the people. I felt like I might bump into someone, so I walked slowly. Suddenly, I felt one of the negative effects I had been warned about: a leg cramp. I promptly laid down. It was late, and the moon was out, as well as the few stars that had managed to outshine Saint Paul's light pollution. They all appeared to be moving about, slowly migrating across the sky. I was getting cold. Shorts had been a bad choice. I decided to go back inside.
Once inside, I felt somewhat claustrophobic. My nausea came back a bit, but not nearly as bad as before. I drank some water to settle my stomach a bit, and then went off to socialize. The effects were no longer slowly approaching, it was difficult to walk, and I could hardly hold a conversation without bringing up some strange topic, or using some sort of imaginary word. I felt unusually social. I couldn't seem to run out of things to say. Then I heard something beautiful: a guitar. My guitar, in fact. John was playing it. We decided to write a song. We soon found out that the seeds had both amplified and warped my creative abilities. I said so many strange, half-coherent things in my some 10 minutes of freestyle jamming, I don't know where it all came from. I also enjoyed story telling very much that night, and thus my song vaguely resembled an epic tale.
Time seemed to be moving quite slowly, for the whole night seemed to last something like 10-15 hours. I actually went to bed quite early (around 1am), and managed to wake up to a very unpleasant hangover/comedown, as well as a limp from one particularly bad leg cramp. The effects of this hangover lasted a full 24 hours.
Was it worth it? Yes. This experience vastly changed my perspective on psychoactive chemicals. And though I don't have any desire to completely quit using such substances, I really can't bring myself to use them as frequently after this experience (at least, with out some guilt). It changed my views on music, and on frequent use of such substances, and most importantly my views on my own mental health. I have no doubt, that if I were to eat those seeds more than a few times annually, I would go insane.
I hope this was a helpful little story. If you plan on using the seeds, please let me know, I can give you all the info you need, and maybe a bit of advice on how to go about it :)
