let's rewind a bit - quite a lot actually. i'm going to take u thru a bit of fergal's 'journal' (maybe for want of a better term) from mid-1998!

in my last post of 2006 i mentioned a number of things which i'd like to explore a little further. one thing i mentioned was pot/weed/cannabis/[insert your preferred word for it here]. i used to smoke quite a bit of it; sometimes a lot. from memory, in mid-1998 i think i probably was typically having at least one little smoke a day on weekdays (in the evening) and a few a day on weekends. it probably shows when you browse through my journals from those times. this is not to say that i now regret any of that! albeit i also am glad to nowadays be only an occasional consumer of the wacky-tobacky ;-D

anyhow, let's take a look at my entry from july 11 1998, which actually is probably one of the relatively more coherent entries from that period:


"now never knows nothing
do you read?
do we communicate? do we under-
stand each other?
what's that?
what?
that?
what?
nothing
this? what? oh, yes ...
what to write? to write what?
what would you like to read? oh
yes; I can write that, alright
I will. How's this? Is this it?
It is.
A word and this, are both comprehend.
A meaning is attached to the concept
encoded in the letters, the wordform
The form arises from waveforms,
like patterns of ink stained onto
paper, there whilst the paper is
and here now; always written
right here - this is here forever
while you read it, comprehend it,
encode it, consolidate it,
reexperience and know.
I'd like to communicate with you,
and you with me; can you?
that's fine "

well ... yes, kind of interesting (maybe) ... i suppose i don't need to say much else on this topic right now (?).

let me add a scanned copy of the first part of this journal entry. the script at the start is thai script ... but that's another story! ;-D
(i didn't include the thai stuff in the above excerpt)
