I had a psychedelic experience, or possibly heat stroke
I don't really have anything I can do right now, my panhandling sign got rained on and I don't have a marker to replace it. Plus, Im not trapped somewhere with much through traffic so just walking up to people is pretty pointless.

So I decided to meditate.

I haven't done much meditation recently, but since I don't need any props or gear, I figured why not? It's a way to kill time if nothing else.

I settled in the shade under the tree Im parked beside and got to it.
It was pretty standard mind clearing/relaxation stuff at first, if you've ever meditated you know what I mean.
Then I got this oddly relaxing feeling like I was being filled with air, like I was becoming puffy in a… metaphorical? sense.
Then… BAM! It was like my frikkin crown chakra broke open and everything was fire hosing out the top of my head.
It was like… the scene where the Ancient One kicked Strange's soul out into the multiverse. Not visually, but like that sensation of movement you can imagine watching it. The feeling of hurtling through the cosmos. I'm pretty sure I didn't see anything but the physical sensation was so engrossing that I don't really remember. Saw inside my eyelid most likely.
The whole thing had little sense of time or place to it, but while it was going on I was completely divorced from all the physical pain Im in, the various discomforts of being drenched in sweat, exhaustion, etc

When it was finally over, it had been about two hours.

It was definitely an experience of my life.

I got a line on some house painting work for cash next week but no gas to get to it, keep me in mind if you can any amount helps

I'm thinking it's about time to trim and shape it.

In other news, due to generous donations I was able to get some gas, so I have spent today down at the river, did a bit of swimming, some more meditating (nothing cosmic this time, will keep you updated), and just recharging

How to stop dooming about lost media?

Enjoy what got un-lost over the years.

To give a personal example:
For a long time, a childhood favorite of mine, a French-Canadian cartoon called "Malo Korrigan and the Space Tracers", or known as "Malo Space Trucker" here in Germany, was my White Whale. It ws an episodic show about the crew of a freight hauler, the Starduke, under its captain, the titular Malo Korrigan. It had a nice, almost Space Western feel at times, with neat bits of worldbuilding here and there, such as the small ships having no gravity inside them (nor inertia either, so people float even under thrust), leading to several episodes where the crew eats liquid food through a straw, and the fact that Earth was seemingly "lost" in some way, either simply forgotten, destroyed, or just irrelevant, with Earth-based things, such as certain foods or plants, being obscure rarities (Humanity itself seems fine though, as there is no shortage of Human secondary or reoccurring characters, especially as Space Truckers or "Tracers", so it doesn't seem to be a case of Humanity being endangered or something).

I could never find it, trying to hunt down whatever scraps I could. DVDs were long out of print, since we are talking about a cartoon that was made around 2000-2001, and the usual (totally legitimate) sites for that didn't have anything either. Even worse, the English version is completely lost, as there were no DVDs of it at all, at least to my knowledge, meaning if there was a more "international" audience for it, that could help keeping it alive, they wouldn't have a way to watch it in a comprehensible manner.

However, just this Saturday, by complete random chance, I found a Youtube channel that has begun uploading the old episodes, and makes them public one by one. Which was an incredibly pleasant surprise. On top of that, on a secondary channel, they also have the English versions as well, even if two episodes seem to lack the vocal tracks.

Got to look on the bright side of things.

Sounds like you should also download those episodes in some way for preservation purposes, just in case the channel gets taken down.
 
For some reason I want to do a collaborative worldbuilding project that turns the western hemisphere into a Weird Fiction setting but I don't know how to start.

At the moment I just have the Confederation of New Jotunheim covering Greenland and Newfoundland. Which is furry Norse-Inuit far-northeast Canada with amphibious Akhlut Chariots and muskox ranches.

Gonna send it via PM, since I don't quite know the forum's stance on that.

Like, sure, it's on a public platform, that being Youtube, but it's still basically pirated media, so better safe than sorry.

EDIT: If anyone else wants the links, just PM me.

Hey I'm new here. I like Worm so I made an account to read some Worm Fanfiction on this site.
 
Was down at the beach this morning, tried meditating while focusing on the sound/smell/feeling of the ocean. Waves coming in gives the air a specific feeling, it was nothing huge like in a surfing movie, just noticeable.
No cosmic experiences this morning, but it was easy to maintain while focusing on the Gulf like that and when my alarm went off after about an hour I felt pretty invigorated.

Not bad results at all, I think I'll be adding meditation to my regular schedule

Pleasant enough. Yesterday would have been bad for it because of the thunderstorms but this morning has been clear of them

I have been reading fanfiction for a miniscule 9 years and I think I've depleted the other regular websites, exhausted the better stories there. I was browsing for fanfiction as one does and got a recommendation to this website, I was dissapointed when I couldn't access the content so made an account.

Aaah, that makes sense. Hope you find here what you're looking for.
 
I just found out today the lady on Youtube (Savesafox) that rescues foxes killed herself because she was being harassed by dickless, cowardly pieces of shit. Fucking coward cunts deserve to rot in hell.
 
Earlier today I was involved in a car accident. Parking lot at Costco, I check both way before going to another parking lot. An SUV comes out of nowhere from the left. I try to break as does the other driver but its too late. The SUV rams my Toyota Corolla right in the front left tire area. Insurance won't cover anything because they claim I'm the one at fault despite I'm the one getting rammed. My car is now sitting in a tow company yard for the night before they drop it off in my driveway. It can't be driven due to damage to the left tire area (the whole area is caved in) but the rest of the car seems fine and there was no damage to the engine or the engine block. Repairs will still likely total around $2-3K according to the tow truck guys I asked.

On top of that I injured my left knee in the crash (started out as just a scrape, then became a major bruise when the adrenaline faded, but now I'm starting to suspect muscle damage as well) on top of the bruise on the left side of my head (minor concussion?). It was too late for the walk-in clinic (I don't have a family doctor because I live in modern day Canada), but I have an appointment booked tomorrow morning. Insurance started a injury claim but I think they'll try to squirrel their way out of paying anything if they can.

Just another day in Canada.
 
I almost forgot, I had a dream involving some sort of comady where a character was complaining about his coworkers fighting. Said coworkers being a 40K ork and a transhuman biohazard sphere-thing. There may have been better words for it but I don't have a dream journal.

Also any suggestions for finding non-standard Soda? I abhor corn syrup and find it weird that I have an easier time finding a variety of liqueur than non-Coke/Pepsi-co soda.
