^ I have a non-alcohol, non-music-related question for you, about your username. Did you choose it for its symbolic properties, or something else? I ask b/c I have a crystal merkaba pendant. Its been my "totem" for a while now, and I'm interested in "sacred geometry" to a degree. But I agree, vodka and I get into trouble when we get together lol

It's the name of a song I like, but I'm also interested in the geometric energy that surrounds the human body. Originally I got it for the song, but I had a look into it as well and was interested in it's symbolism.

Would this be the song??
[it's / having / in] some kind of psychedelic experience.

Our body is light, we are immortal.
Our body is love, we are eternal.
Eternal..

Omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, without judgment.

Theres a clever cookie. Yes, thats the one.

Though nowadays I listen to it more for the climactic music.

I don't even try to read between the lines of Tools' lyrics, as I'm sure they are multi-layered in their meanings. They go deep enough, I don't need to go deeper. On a similar note, "cut my milk" -beauty!! If only there had been time to freeze it first! <ha,ha> {are you familiar with the line "hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers" ? somehow I connect these two statements} Oh, and I want to try absinthe, (to remain on topic, he,he) Anyone seen From Hell? Johnny Depp makes it look so relaxing...

Well, to a degree its just a drink... but if you take enough of it down, you start hallucinating. This happened to me once, everything started going in freeze-frame slow motion, like my brain was only getting a snapshot every 15 seconds, instead of the normal video of the world. It was very weird, but also funny as hell.

Really? ^

Oh I have GOT to get me some of this stuff.

^ I second that notion!! Slow-motion freeze frame hallucinations, sounds kick-azz. You heat it first, or cook it right?? Anyway the sh*t costs alot of $$ from what I hear. I'm not investing in hallucinations anytime soon, but I DO enjoy them
