What the hell am I thinking?

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

You know those clever ideas or surprising realizations you get when sick, drunk, whatever? I had a slight fever couple of days before christmas, and as I was being delirious on the bed, I had what I thought was the best idea EVER. It was a plot for a story (I´m an amateur writer, short-stories mainly) I was working on, and was on the lines of "a boy meets a girl" ...that´s it, seriously. At that time I was all "OMGOMGOMG! This is gonna be EPIC", but the next morning I asked myself "what the f**k is this?" and wanted to scrape my brains out with a wooden cooking spoon. It must have been the fever. I was delirious.

Also, the other day I realized my latent feminist tendencies when I was explaining to a friend of mine in a drunken fit, how a good town has happy women. It was rather surprising at the time.

So, how about you? What bizarre ideas have you had while on altered state of consciousness (sick, smashed, stoned, extremely tired)?

I always had the idea of going off and just randomly starting a fight with random skater kids that I saw around my city while high. Why skater kids? I have no clue.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

It´s even more irritating when the realization comes after you´ve first let someone read the story. It´s irritating and embarrasing.

 

[ioxles]

Pretty much every idea i've ever had on reflection, also the things I think off when i'm just coming out off sleep in the mornings and I've been dreaming of something I think is the greatest idea ever only to wake up, instantly forget most of it except some random part of it like "building saddles for cats so hamsters can ride them and hunt" or "painting flat walls so that they looked bump mapped".

Silly.

Have you read my topic, "RAK's Insane Project Ideas"? All of those were thought of while I was sober and completely in control of my senses. Now, think: if that's what I'm considering when I'm not in an altered state of mind, you'd be inclined to think that I'd be even more inclined towards insanity when drunk.

You'd be wrong. I'm probably the most boring drunk in the country.

No I haven´t, but now I´m intrigued. My drunken raving was then surprising mainly because I too am pretty boring drinking buddy.

I hate it when I have an awesome dream and wake up with only the knowledge that it was awesome. I have filed a request to the great master of all dreams to let me have a dream in which i free fly a biplane over Britain.

Incredible bullshitting man.

My Creative Writing teacher once told me that you are at your most creative just before you fall asleep and just as you wake up. The reason is REM sleep. Your mind drifts and isn't bound by things like logic or common sense. That's why a lot of writers keep dream logs. Most of what you write in it is crap but every now and again you'll get something that truly has som potential.

Umm. taking a homemade firework made out of lady fingers and black cats and lighting it. Yeah not one of my better ideas

You know, you are probably fun to hang out with in real life. Sober or not.


You know, firing an object up in the air seems kinda epic.

I generally try to avoid altered states of mind. However, sometimes, right before I go to sleep, I'll have some idea for a story and stay up way past midnight and even into the dawn writing it.

Then, after I've finally gotten some sleep, I'll re-read it and find out it sucks. The most recent example is a science-fiction story wherein Orcs from space invade Earth, and humans are driven underground where they fight a guerilla war against the Orcs (the humans are at an advantage underground because the Orcs are photosynthetic like plants. That's why they're green; duh.)

I've expericend this, writing music at 3:30 a.m. with an empty bottle of wine on the floor, and an 8 track recorder. Listening to the stuff the next morning isn't pleasnt, usually sounds like cats fighting on top of the keys of an untuned piano.

A while ago I had a horrible cold, and after taking enough night time cough syrup to be a legal dose for a horse I came up with the bright idea to try and kick my door open insted of lifting my arm and opening it, if it wasn't for my cold zapping my strenght i wouldn't have a door right now.

I once had a high fever and had a great idea for a story. When I woke up the next morning, I didn't remember what it was.

How about free flying a biplane that is the Britain?

Yeah, I know. One of my clever ideas.

We all have our share of bad days, don´t let it get you down. Now, put that match out.

I once read some Lovecraft´s short-stories till late night while having a fever. Almost wet myself from things like cat suddenly making noise in the next room.

"Dear god! The alien invaders from beyond have already breached through our inner defences. We´re doomed!"
"Hurry! We have to self-destruct this station to avoid the total annihilation of the entire human race...Anyone got change?"

I thought of the most EPIC and SUBLIME piece of music in my dream one night. It was PHENOMENAL. I woke up and spent the whole day (that's 9 AM to 3 AM) trying to re-create in FL Studios. Didn't even get close. I had forgotten everything five minutes after waking up. Each time I hummed it to keep it alive, bits of it would get mutilated and cut off until I end up with something totally different and crappy.

 

[Viking Moose]

I was really tired and sick. Well I was watching the news about the Stimulus bill being passed. And I was like "This is such a stupid idea. Just give all the 300 million people in a America a million each." 300,000,000 X $1,000,000 = $300,000,000 I felt like a genius.

 

[omicronpercei]

I thought of a bad way to fix the homeless problem once while taking a dump. Like most men I do all my good thinking there

Drunk golfing. It's very ammusing to have a bunch of drunk aldults playing hockey on a kids ,iniature golf course at night all trying to hit the same ball at once while some huffy teenagers wait for their turn.
