glowingfishSo, related to the last post about alcohol:
One thing I do like is getting a "flow state" started. And it is hard to define what a "flow state" is, but it's obvious when you have one! And so I guess my point with drinking is that sometimes it can tip me over to the point where my ideas and thoughts just start flowing.
Is the theory.
Of course, there are a lot of other things that can do that. One thing that is ironic for me is that I have the internet here, where anyone and everyone can converse about anything and everything---and that seems like it would be a perfect way to uncork that desired flow state. But in reality...it seems to be more poking around the same 5 or 10 pieces of content, and frittering away time feeling bored.
