Artificial Artificial Paradises: Another Braincell-Murdering LiveJournal Entry
By Evan ~ June 20th, 2008. Filed under: nostalgia.

Fuck. It’s been busy today, as my mother is staying in Santa Monica and I’ve been racing back and forth between Echo Park and her hotel for the last twenty-four hours. It’s only going to continue tomorrow, so I cannot promise to post much in the way of invigorating, mind-expanding entries. Instead, here’s a brief “Artificial Artificial Paradises” LiveJournal entry for you to enjoy. If you don’t remember, I used to keep a LiveJournal (2003-2005) that basically chronicled my experiments with various substances intended to catapult normal everyday humans into hyper-aware super-apes, the kind most often referenced on Lee “Scratch” Perry / the Upsetters albums.

Dear Fans,
Tonight there was a gathering of intrepid souls at 345 House. It was like lightning in a bottle, I tells ya! At some point, at some place in time, and space, some one informed me of my impeccible comedic timing. Apparently only I can take a question like, “If man is 5 because of that, and the devil is six because of the other thing, then what makes God seven?” and instantly look up from my drugs to reply “Seven…minutes in heaven?” Furthermore, who else can open a kitchen pantry door and say, “In here? Nothing but nuts and butts,” and then manage to find several jars of nuts (peanuts, cashews, mixed nuts) and several cartons of cigarettes to prove a completely random hypothesis? I’ll tell you who, right after this commercial break.
[Insert "Please don't squeeze the Charmin!" commercial here]
I think if i wrote a movie it’d be something like that. A movie in complete non-sequators. Could you handle it? Is your candle lit? Dogs and cats raining together. It’d go something like that. And that. And that and that and that and that and that.
Sincerely Tours,
William Henry Harrison
