Post subject:  Epiphany
I just had an epiphany the other day after pulling a few people out of negative states of mind.

I'm writing a book about Martial Arts....

....with a unique twist, from my perspective. It will explain everything in life and bring together all schools of thought.


I already know that the front cover and back cover are going to look like.

I already know exactly what I want to say inside of it.


All I need to do is translate my idea into words and put it into the computer, and find a way to publish it while having complete creative control and ownership.





I can't wait for people to read it.


(I'm thinking about just making it a website...but then there is the question of how to make money from it when everything is released for free, and how to incorporate the idea I have for the front and back cover, which are crucial! ...but at least with the website, more people would get to read it)


:)

Take notes, record your thoughts, do everything you can do to capture what you can as soon as you can.

I've had moments like that and just a few hours later couldn't remember much. Granted, it is usually about really technical design issues for computer network and application stuffs, but capturing that moment where it all comes together and I can visualize the whole shebang with perfect clarity has saved me weeks and months of work a couple of times in my career.

I, have, man! I have!!!!

This is great. I've never been so "on" in my life.

I have 4 copies of this file on different places of 2 different harddrives and partitions, i'm about to make a few burned CD copies...

My mind is rock solid, even if I lose the information, I'll still have it.

Weed is an amazing tool. I have a lot of people to thank. This book will be very controversial if it becomes popular.

I've just started writing less than a week ago, too, and I have most of the framework written down in terms of random ideas that have been fleshed out slightly.

I'm going to print that off and use it as a guide to organize it, create and outline and start the first rough draft before I show it to a few close friends who deserve to read it.


EDIT: weird typo, typed "think" instead of "thank". lmao.

Okay...there's 1 dollar in my pocket and i'm going to get a powerball ticket...if I win then I'm not sure it would be a good thing ...LOL

I almost hope I lose, there's just too many good things happening this past week and if I won I don't know what the **** I'd do with myself.


WARNING: I am very high right now. Maybe I shall walk. lol


EDIT: still writing, i forgot about the lotto ticket...half of the stuff I write, and read back and think it's amazing, the other stuff I read back and think it's amazing, but worry that people might call me out for being too obvious.....or crazy. I will need a few good editors...or maybe I will not want to talk to any editors.


OK, now I'm going to the gas station to buy a powerball.

"Weed is an amazing tool"

I had to laugh. Not intended to be insulting, I just thought that was funny as hell.

Oh, is "Screeling" like taking a dump, or something? If so, then no, I wasn't taking a Screeling.

Anyways, I did think of the ideas over the past week while sober, I'm only now just reflecting in a profound manner.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the drug, among other things, that I hope to dispel.

In a way, people probably already know what my book is about. It almost feels pointless to write it....but not writing would be as stupid as a millionare trying to tell people money didn't matter.

Do you have to be on weed when we read it Nev? ;)
Author:  Nevandal [ Fri Aug 06, 2010 10:58 am ]
Post subject: 
Absolutely not. It does help to have an open mind, though, which weed does help with.

F*ck the nay-sayers and the make-funners. :)

Hey I can poke fun...I quite enjoyed my years as a pothead. Besides. Everything is funny when you're high! :D

In all seriousness though, I have written my best poetry and created my best music when I was high. It's like the wall that normally blocks off your creative/spiritual side is completely gone when you are stoned.

I do miss that. :(
