Today I woke up and I actually felt my brain leave my head.

It was amazing.

So I am spending the weekend with these guys:

“The thing with me is that I AM smart and I’m smelf–I’m self smarted, basically, by myself, basically from nature and smoking drugs and doing different things I’ve self–like self-learned myself. And that’s the whole difference, I guess, is that I don’t need the books or the schooling type things. I just get everything on my own and because of that I’m alive right now. I mean, if I had read more books or tried to go on to college and different things like that, I’d be dead right now, because people say books and college are for to be make you smarter, but they can also be for to be make you dead, which is what could have happened to me. My brain doesn’t use enough oxygen because I don’t have the whole thing filled with different stuff and if it was full–it’s only part full–and that’s why I’m alive right now. The guards are giving me here, you know, “Read this book, try to get smarter,” but I’m like, alright, I’ll pretend to read it, but I’m not going to really read it cause my brain will be more full and if I have another heart attack, I’m going to die.”
