One of the funnier/sadder side effects of chemically altering one's state is that you get a HUGELY skewed view of what is clever and what is not. I remember taking a notepad and sitting down to free-associate after having mixed a popular prescription insomnia remedy with the hobbit's leaf. At the time, I thought I had reached the pinnacle of creativity and oneness with the universe. I wish I had saved it and scanned it for y'all. It was basically half a page of chicken scratch (I thought I had invented a Kanji-like alphabet and that it would translate the next day), some sort of phallic symbol, something that looked like a little troll with a top hat, and a listing of the times (I had a clock in front of me to see how long my endeavors took) that I experienced auditory hallucinations. These last weren't hallucinations at all, but the sound of the hot water heater turning on and off.

Now I see what would've happened if I had opened photoshop instead.
