OUR MAN IN AMSTERDAM PART 3 sleepless in... wherever we are!
As i stated before, paybacks are a bitch at best and finally i now know what my darling ex wife was talking about when she described my snoring. remember that chap gumby from a few quips ago?
the one who consumed 5 or 6 cones o fries and 7 moldy sausages? well this punter not only is a land mass but comes complete with a weather system that Florida would be proud of i can't decipher whether or not it was the open mouth wet coughing spells he had, or the thundering snoring that made even the most relaxed of all humans mr steve broy annoyed enough to practice his pitching arm and delivered a curve ball to a vulnerable part of his humungous anatomy which did work for a moment while he woke up wondering who is stealing third base.. then back to sleep or the tarmac if you will because the noise from this gent was similar to the din at most international runways at takeoff time, now usually i can sleep through anything ,, that is if i am by myself which i am most accustomed to or next to my debbi who soothes the savage beast in me in a way in can handle...)but not here.. overtime i woke up i was faced with an angry smiling little Allen wrench tattoo which under the strange circumstances and my body bein out of whack looked for all the world as if it were laughing like a deranged beavis and butthead cartoon.. all the while i hear all night shouts of GUMBY!>>> shut up! reminiscent of my marriage except this time i am not the person at risk.... so on the first of many sleepless night that only seemed to get more intense as the days wore on i felt like a prisoner deprived of sleep and ready to "sign the fucking papers" the next day an excursion into the ancient city was in order with Allen wrench quite an honorable guy what with his fresh Mohawk and adorned with so many repeating Allen wrench tattoos that you would think there is a tribe somewhere of men who paint themselves in blood and grow horns out the top of their head and drink pabst blue ribbon as a war sauce no wonder he makes the remainder of the group wear a priest habit in case he needs saving, he has back up--- and what with the amount of fake blood that spreads itself all over everything an Allen wrench show may look like a gwar gig if slymenstra hymen was having her auntie red to visit that week so as we troddle off into the city to find sin, debauchery, and mainly heiniken at cheap prices, we also acknowledge all the fine art the city is famous for the architecture is amazing -and fucking old... the stages are all very ornate and everything there seems to have a phallic beginning I'm tellin ya if Portland is THe city that works Amsterdam caters to the penis and its companions a statue outside one of my favorite stops on this day was the balls and penis fountain an erect phallus which squirted water out its pee hole and two balls all made out of brown marble the balls rolled-- the favorite place was the "Cannabis college an educational recsource for the education of the masses toward the good side of hemp and marijuana use which to me is a great way to make room in the jails for real criminals who arent too lazy too commit a violent crime but who specialize in it. no way do i favor the legalization of substances like coke speed and heroin or even their usage possibly a cheaper way of obtaining it perhaps if those who wish to partake don't have to steal as is the case with most of these drugs because of the drug testing policies in America...strange how that is they want to cut down ion crime but make it illegal for those who need to( and would work for their habit ) but no alas we live in the great hypocrisy here... so we actually start more problems by trying to stop them the way a mother stops children from eating too many cookies.
the cannabis college also has a grow room in the basement which is all earth grown and no fertilizers are added , the soil is 100% organic made of compost and recycled soil which results in a non paranoid high . we learned alot in our 20 minutes and took lots of video surrounded by huge beautiful blooming plants of varying strains and variety upstairs we were introduced to the smokeless way of doing marijuana- vaporizing a hot air device vaporizes the thc and is blown into a plastic bag- you inhale the vapor- without any smoke the effects are wonderful and kind to the body the major advantage is for the thc to operate as a bronchodiolaor and is useful in helping asthma patients very interesting place that -minus the grow room ad vaporizer could be beneficial in a lace like Oregon where medical marijuana use IS legal.
i definitely needed a bunch of video for the osmotic trip debbi was taking trough me so wandering off toward the massive church that faces the many windows of the red light district in any other city would be a juxtaposition but in Amsterdam- live and let live we had to go prepare for our journey to the north by train to stay a few days with hammerhawk and see their town and studio so back on the tram and collect the gear it's off to harlemm.
