My old man plays drums for a hardcore band. Back in 2017 they played a festival in Baltimore. I had a very socially isolated upbringing so I basically lived a straight-edge lifestyle for the first 21 years of my existence by accident. Anyway, on the long car ride from MA down to Maryland, the band's driver passed around this shit called Bleu Cheese and honestly the experience was fucking surreal. Does anyone remember the visualizers from Media Player on Windows XP? Well, I was seeing some shit like that when I closed my eyes. I felt an elevated level of calm, creativity, and felt a little sleepy. Brainstorming fucked-up scenarios for my post-apocalyptic novel. I've been trying to replicate this high ever since.
