Haha Gigs... it was a low dose. Pretty damn effective at times, but definitely didn't forget how to work a computer, haha. Could still type at least 60 wpm. 
I played on the computer a bit, mostly using textedit to freeform write... here's a little of what came out for y'all, if you like that sorta thing:
Dosing up. Toast. Pouring gold down olden throats.
To all goats, come roasts. To all hosts, come ghosts.
Float upon the river bed. Silent codes to figure in.
Final hopes disfiguring, amongst the effigy of opal.
Opined offering: I lay my throat hole open
and wait for summer, hoping. Oh Mother-Father, hold this.
A scold-less mold fit upon the motor of my river boat.
Every time I reach to toast, come down and sooth my inner ghost.
May he rest in peace. Though he fears he'll rest in pieces.
May that jest be sweet upon the mind it's come to speak with.
For fear is just a long, lost, relative of love.
By the blood of our interconnection... may he be resolved.
Yes, you'll rest in peace. Now be sweet, and lay your head down.
Listen close to street sounds, until you find them drowned out.
Every avenue is on the effigy of peace--
for the ones who come to notice, and ones who can release.
Now, I don't mean to be mean, and I don't mean to be sweetly.
No scheme in my beliefs, just a compromised entreaty.
There's lots of twists to this, man. A lot of ins and outs.
Yes, there's a beverage here, man. And a mind grown thick with clouds.
Keep that throat hole open. And let it billow doubts.
Whatever sounds may come to you. Whatever must come out.

Yeah just pm me. Journey and back home has been sold to Getz out of Jersey. I don't have logic. I have pro tools and cubase. I just would need the .wav files of each track.
We sell our beats. We already paid our dues.
Sorry altar we keep taking over.

Yeah man, I am a musician. I am an aspiring singer/songwriter. I don't share it around here because I'm super paranoid about having my name here connected to my identity, heh. I write a lot of words tho. I'm still working on performance... trying to get my core back together after a nasty car accident in my teen years has set me way back physically... I am trying to get myself into an athletic state so that my performances are stronger. I'm hit and miss now... some times I can connect with everything and I shine like a motherfucker... and then other times it's just fuckin' embarassing... back and forth I go, constantly. LOL.
But I write a shitload of words, and I write rough acoustic songs right now. But lately I want to get into a folk/rap fusion situation. I do flow spoken word over my chords sometimes, and I write really sick shit sometimes that I never end up applying anywhere because I am not that good at making electronic beats. So I kind of want to fuse the two and go for an acoustic-backed mix of rap and singing. Pretty inspired by Aesop Rock's new project, The Uncluded:

I'm a super reclusive artist, so I work solo and don't have any help with produciton or anything... I am trying real hard to break out of my shell before I hit 30 at this point, because I NEED to get out there and do this, rock those stages, it's what I'm built for, I know it in my soul. It is my only real aspiration.
Like I said I've got no production skills and no studio/production help... but if any of you guys want to hear my live recordings, I have a soundcloud channel, but I'm not gonna post it here... just say so and I will PM you a link...

No worries at all man, I am totally glad this thread is going music-central, because I am all about music. I just don't talk about it here because, like I said, I try to keep my identities isolated due to legalities.

Funny coincidence... that band has nothin to do with me, lol. I chose this name for obscurity and anonymity. I thought of it myself! Then I found out there was some festival in australia like 8 years ago with the same name... and there's a band... and there's some website coming soon at altarnation.org but I have no idea what it is, lol.

And I think that 72 hour brew tea came out fuckin' nice. I have high hopes that it's gonna help all around. The house plants are loving the leftovers right now.
