when it rains, it pours


nightfire.

when it rains, it pours
washing the street with grey.
colour glazed vision, a myopic blur
and the sight of your smeared lipstick
wet hair
smoke.

turns me on.

freshman fifteen. So there's a name for it! Gosh, I feel so proud yet suspicious at the same time. Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider comics has become my new poster girl. Who doesn't want to be a gun-toting, bodacious woman? Okay, maybe not. But I'm inspired to say the least! I also borrowed the December 2004 issue of Scientific American which featured an interesting look at marijuana and the brain. Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) binds to the brain's cannabinoid receptors centralized in the middle of the brain (hypothalamus, neocortex, cerebellum, etc.) - which would explain for all the so-called "medicinal benefits" - enhancing appetite, pain/anxiety alleviation, and vomit suppression. Our brains naturally produce some similar chemicals which activate some of these cannabinoid receptors, therefore being the brain's own marijuana = anandamide and 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG). Intuh-resting. keyword being, 'some'.

In any case, my knees are a-hurting. I actually have a lot more to say but I'm tired. G'nite!
