I took a walk today ... and despite my drug-celibacy since ... well, not that long, but long enough for clarity of mind ... despite technically being fully emerged in reality, I felt crazy stoned ... Although I think my soundtrack may have had something to do with it. I was listening to this mix by Aadam Jacobs (c/o Los Seguros CD ... read more
