Her book

posted March 10th, 2014 at 2:22 AM

One summer evening I came home to my girlfriend who had no idea I was high as a kite. She was talking about writing a book, something she always wanted to do. I blurted out an idea and I guess it inspired her. Years later, she has written her first soon to be published book based on my idea. She thanks me for inspiring her to write it. I still thank her for her inspiration. And it's based on that book. But my confession is she won't ever know that I would've never thought of that idea if I wasn't high.

Still a creative pull. My question is what were you high on? I hope it becomes a best seller! I wrote a book also and it was one of the happiest times of my life. Kudos to art of any kind. Neil Young wrote his best stuff high.

It's pretty crazy, the book is an incredibly captivating story based on her real life experiences. Personally I believe it will be a best seller, but I'm most likely biased. I was high on cocaine but she had no idea. The same night I gave a friend business ideas that helped his business thrive months later. I don't normally do drugs but holy what an interesting experience! I will definitely say that being on cocaine increased my creativity. I'm not telling people to go out and do some cocaine, but I think back about when I did I'm pretty impressed with myself.

I don't know about your girl friend; but if I found out you were using drugs while going out with me; you would be out of my life faster than R. Lee Ermey said "Jack Wagon."

The OP wouldn't go out with you. Neither would I.

Free your mind and your ass will follow :)

Once we claim ourselves as artists, we stop judging. Ironically, my book is about the journey coke takes and how it affects each person every step of the way. Lots of people celebrate coke. I happen to be fully disinterested in it. But I sure had a good run with BC weed. Now I use nothing. But once I have that morning coffee, I could write all day. You have discovered you're an 'ideas person' It was your love in your heart and your fine mind that came up with these ideas and voiced them-drugs or no drugs. You sound great and so does your girlfriend. I wish you continued successes-both of you! Vancouver need more minds on the up and up. xo
