Literary Lubrication

I may be new in the blog world, but I have written a few things and they all have been on some kind of drug. Some drugs work for me and some do not. My bread and butter definately has to be beer and alcohol. Wait, alcohol cigarettes and beer. Yeah, yeah, its sounds like a cliche, but it works. Don't you tell your personal stories better to friends while you are sitting around drinking and smoking? You loosen up and you become unafraid of the truth and you spill it out accordingly. Alcohol cigarettes and beer are my muse and if it were not for them I would not have written a word, a letter.

Marijuana, on the other hand, does not work for me. I know they say that weed affects people in different ways, so I'm just stating my personal experience from writing "on weed." I take a hit and stare into space or maybe stare at the bowl thinking that i may have cancer...so my mind is unclear and the shit doesn't work. Sometimes, when I have had a lot to drink and smoke a little bit of weed, I recieve fleeting thoughts coming from all directions and my writing seems unbalanced, or basically stupid. Nothing coherent, nothing relevant. I like marijuana but it hasnt helped me one bit.

Cocaine. Cocaine is a stimulant and it helps me think but I usually combine it with alcohol and a dozen packs of cigarettes. I can be very concise and all, but I usually feel like doing more coke, drinking and smoking so I have no time to write. I'd rather get high and talk about all the 9/11 conspiracies that are known to man, or ones that just pop into my head. I have been known to offend people while on this drug, so I dont want to offend my fellow readers, so I dont write.

pain killers/opiates. Ahh, my favorite drug, though anyone that feels that they can do something productive while eating three Lorapans and drinking a twelve pack of beer must be kidding themselves. I usually put on a cd and smoke, stargazing, and end up getting blisters on my fingers while nodding off with a lit cigarette. But it feels so good...not the blistering of fingers, but the absolute numbness from life that it gives me. So fuck writing at that point. An examlpe of writing while in this state:
"BLLEEn to the sttttoere saw someone how wassssssssssss there."

Caffine?! Fug it...only use it when I gotta go to work...been off caffiene for about a year.

Psychedelics...i think I am a little to old for them. I am not Carl Sagan and I will never be able to understand the universe, no matter how many hallucinogenics i take.

So like I have said, beer alcohol and cigarettes are the best substances for me. I am addicted to all three of them, and maybe if I tried those aformentioned other substances, sans alcohol beer cigarettes, they might help, by thier lonesome, but I dont see that happening. Dont judge me, judge my sloppy writing.
