  • When Prescriptions Go Terribly Wrong...


    I had such a dumb, crazy, boring, hellish, tiring night last night. 


    They have me taking Adderol for my ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder....do I look hyper?). 


    They say that Adderol has the effects of Cocaine and "Speed" combined when taken at its highest dosage (30mg), which my Doc has got me on.  I've heard you can sell the little bast*rds for $2 or $3 a pop, but I don't really wanna do that...plus it's more than likely illegal, and I'm almost off probation, so I don't really wanna screw up this late in the game.


    The thing about Adderol though, is that it gets you really focused (Like "Speed") and you can do alot of things in a short amount of time (Like Cocaine).  Now grant you, I have never tried either of these drugs.  I've only smoked marijuana, and I'm 120 days clean as of today (WOW, that's like 4 months!  I'm proud of myself). 


    The only drawback to this "Middle School Cocaine", as I've heard it called in health magazines, is that after school was over, the only things I was focused on were stupid, dumb, and pointless.  I reorganized Ryan's garage while I was over there for practice yesterday.  I turned the Ford Emblem I found downtown with Jonathan into a "Fairwell Emblem" (which I must say, looks quite good...plus it's Velcro attachable, so I guess it could go on an instrument, or an amp, or perhaps even a drumset).

    Next, I found a copy of one of my poems that I had written (By the way, my background has a line from this particular poem in it...I think Lines 10-11), and I decided to draw.


    DRAW!
    DRAW!!

    DRAW!!!


    And this is what I got:


    With Every Picture  


    Then after that, I walked around the entire block at 5:30 in the morning, picking up all the cigarette butts and throwing them away.  I filled up a fourth of a Wal-Mart bag with them, and amazingly I was so focused doing it that when I came back around around 10am, I only found 3.  I know, it's gross....cigarette butts, but atleast I was helping the environment, right?


    Finally, the best part.  My painting.  I did it on a panel out of a shelf in my old bookcase.  Long story short, it took 2 cups of coffee, alot of masking tape, some Exacto knives, black and white acrylic paint and brushes, and alot of time.  The background looks good though, and the focus of it came out with clean edging.  Plus, I like the board that I did it on.  Looks cool in real life.  Here it is:

    Yep, all my work.


    You see how sometimes it's not about what the doctor prescribed...
    because this stuff has me all effed up. 


    I need to sleep.

  • yah i like it. duh.

  • I love it.  I wish I was artistic.

  • Holy fuck, man.

    I love what you did with the emblem, and I love the drawings and the painting.

    "...weather forecasts of ironic symbolism"

    'tis brilliant.

    Beyond all of that, I really wish I was around you when you were like this.  Imagine if you had been on Adderol and I had a bunch of Red Bulls.

    Man...we could have started a fire!

    Love ya, man.  Get some effin' sleep.
