How To Cure Any Ailment

takethisforexampleThe other day when I was sick, I was supposed to go to the Genesis concert in Philadelphia with my roommate. Once I was able to determine that what I had wasn't viral, I did what any reasonable stupid stoner kid would do and pumped myself full of enough THC to kill eight full grown elephants and went anyways (my roommate drove). I figured, this would be my last shot at being in the same room with those synthesizers. I can't just not go. I don't recommend doing what I did just for the sake of it, but I would've been high at the Genesis concert anyways, so I'll cut myself some slack.
Once we were in the stadium and I effectively couldn't feel anything, I watched Genesis in all their glory and it was one of the most intense musical experiences I have had to this date. I was so zoned out from being in pain and high at the same time that I couldn't even move. I just sat completely still as Phil Collins blew my mind. I can't describe it realistically, honestly. For a good two and half hours the Wells Fargo Center might as well have been the center of the universe and it was like I was being dragged into a black hole. I could feel the bass throughout my whole body and everything was oscillating around me. By the time they played "Duchess", I was so far gone that I had to stop myself from crying. Okay, I sort of lied. I don't regret it at all. It was fucking amazing.
So yeah, Genesis. Pretty good band. I like having experiences with music like that, even if this time the circumstances were weird and stupid. Synthesizers have this weird power over me, I feel like I'm a cobra being charmed or something. Also I'm sorry Mom and Dad for doing drugs.
