Crazy

Last night I was speaking with a friend. He told me how he lost his mind 3 years ago because of drugs. It was not addiction. I asked him if he feels alright now, he said yes. He continued and said some people get driven nuts because of problems in life, from disapointment in love and relationships, from a bankruptcy, from unemployment, or going through the death of close ones, from war. For him, he made his choice about a drug experience, and he didn't find any reason for regret about going nuts on it.

Everybody does some things to find themselves. Some people travel, go on holiday, run away from home, go to live overseas, some people work really hard, and for him, he conclude in retrospect to have found himself in this extreme mind opening drug experience, and coming through to find himself again after having gone crazy. Now, he sees the epic core of his mental distraction, and no longer finds the excuse for not knowing what to do, since he did nothing for a year. He believes that understanding and communication are most important for his spiritual evolution and that "work" is essential for the well being of any persons. We need to have something to do.

However much he has gain for himself, he finds that things have changed fast, and some of his friends have become somewhat distant.

I told him, in my opinion, nobody can be really considered crazy. Or, everybody is crazy in some ways.

I think the going crazy part was probably what people were telling him, and what he eventually told himself. I also think changes in friendships is normal and is best dealt with in acceptance.

Last night I couldn't sleep. with a hundred millions of thoughts and ideas speeding through my head. There are many things I want to do, too many "I"s to be. I guess I managed to sleep some hours eventually. After waking up, I cleaned the fridge, took a shower, made soup (pork ribs with potatoes, carrots, onions) 6 teas and 2 coffees. Today there were many guests in the house, mainly Iggy's clients. Also the plumber came to see the house for changing of pipes. Busy day, but I enjoyed it, as I have been pretty bored learning photoshop, and reading online texts.

Have you heard this song from the Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Lennon/McCartney).
Check out this animation! http://www.funny-games.biz/animations/13-maxwellssilverhammer.html

I believe you'd agree with me that this indeed a strange and crazy song.

------------------------------------------------
Joan was quizzical; studied pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
Calls her on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
Silver hammer man.
