No, he has special hair. Apparently it's legendary in the
halls of residence of the Burton-on-Trent young lady's
finishing school.

There is enlightenment -- The path to it is fraught and
difficult ... the determined persevere and overcome the
feeling of despair and fear and attain it. The rest...
don't.

"Reality isn't what you think it is"

So true - You're just born into it taking pretty much
EVERYTHING for granted - Then, you're shoved into a system
as soon as you're able to start questioning these things,
and most people don't fall off it until late middle-age.

I think the closest thing I can come up with to an answer is
that it's best to concentrate on the job at hand, rather
than concentrateing on morbid self-obsession and thinking
too much about the big picture.

In the short-term, the best you can do is find your path and
fullfill your true potential, so you can die happy and
satisfied, but not apathetic.

If you're depressed at the moment it might be 'cos you've
been doing the alcohol/valium thing lately! That'll put
anyone in that state of mind... I find if you do nothing for
long enough you usually end up quite detached from your
momentary state of mind.

Shit man, just the other day I thought my whole world was
crumbling around me - Came on in a matter of seconds, out of
nowhere - Felt utterly alone and isolated - Lasted a few
hours.. I assumed it was an acid flashback or something at
the time, but I'm thinking it was actually a bloody seasonal
allergy, looking back to the other symptoms - Your state of
mind will constantly try to fool you and distort your
reality.

The only truth is "Mu" - Or ummmmmmmmmmm..... It's beyond
words and thoughts - Just focus on your breathing -
Everyone's got a hidden Buddha in there somewhere that is
content to just bathe in the warm light and let reality flow
around them eternally.

Just your brain that gets in the way! Learn to recognise
when it's messing with you.

The beer and valium has nothing to do with it, that was
escapism.

Well I guess the most important thing is to remember that
the feelings of pointlessness and apathy are just signs of a
certain state of mind, and not your reality.

If I didn't have my music I'd be f**ked for sure - That
gives me a simple purpose and something to channel my energy
into.

I get anxiety, and without weed I would probably never leave
the house - So I have to remind myself that my negativity
and fear of the future are just concepts, and are not real.

If you can come out the other side of a depressive phase,
rather than block it out or self-medicate too much, you can
end up living life without the usual inhibitions and
hang-ups most people have... It will make you a better
person, and the state of mind will pass when you're ready,
trust me.

I spent 3 years stoned and sedated through my bad patch -
Started when I was about 17, then went away again and came
back when I was 19.. Then, at some point you clean yourself
up and find direction - And as you get older you become less
self-absorbed and get back to that state of mind you had
when you were a kid, where you sort of melt back into your
surroundings.

Lots of people get suicidal after messing with
tranquillizers though - Only short-term, but they do depress
your nervous system for quite some time afterwards -
Certainly can make a natural downer into something much
worse.

Love in our life
is just too valuable
Oh, to feel
for even a second
without it

_

But life without death
is just impossible
Oh, to realize
something is ending
within us

there is no reason for anything really, if you think hard
enough about anything then absolutely nothing is worth
doing, so insted just pursue happiness, simply because
you're going to be living here regardless of whether you
like it or not, so you better make the most of it, and it
requires EFFORT to make anything good
