I know, I know, I've been neglecting the diary. Well, not a lot of stuff has happened since I last wrote. School is pretty easy now. At least until finals.

I saw this website when the school computer started up, and I decided to read it for the hell of it. Read the thing first before you read the rant.

First off, all that shit is bad for you! Especially in unprescribed doses! What the hell was the guy thinking?! Does he have a death wish? Does he slowly want to kill his mind off till he's a vegetable?! What would make a person do that? I mean, he knows the consequences of his actions right? They teach you that stuff when your in grade school. I remember D.A.R.E. So, if he knows the consequences, why risk them? Does he think it won't affect him? Does he not believe medical science? Does he subconciously want to die? It makes me mad that he is wasting the life* given him on some hallucenogenic chemical.

Secondly, he had a bad trip, why isn't he turned off by it? I mean, doesn't he learn from mistakes/experiences? Yeah, there might be "good" trips, but there are also "bad" ones. Does he want to risk not only having a bad trip, his brain function, and his physical wellbeing in that unaware state (i.e. not knowing where he's going and falling down the steps), all for the sake of possibly having a "good" trip (whatever that means)? I guess so. My question then is why? Why does he want to risk all that? I'm not even sure he could tell me why, and it makes me sad that he's destorying himself without knowing why he's doing it. It seems like such a big waste. Hell, it is a big waste. It's a f*cking human life.

Opinion of the moment:

"Communication is the greatest tool the human race has. It's what separates us from the animals. However, unless we use it and use it carefully, it can also cause us to become them."

So true.

*When I say "life", I don't just mean the state of being alive. I mean, human vitality, the human mind, the state of being alive, and all other aspects that encompass the non-scientific idea of "life".
