Tales of a weed hustler

"It May Be the Devil" extrapolates to the not-so-far future of human-machine interaction. Technology is progressively getting better and better at predicting our needs and wants, making life easier and easier. However, as machines are learning to adapt to us, we are adapting to the machines. Convenience comes at a cost: to the individuality that makes us human. "It May Be The Devil" introduces the unlikely alliance between an individualistic subculture and the machine intelligence that they rebelled against...

A insomniac blogger telling some corny thoughts after Californication's Season 2 Finale

Wanderlust and LSD: The Chronicles of a Countercultural Nomad is a vivid and evocative memoir that takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the heart of 1960s America, a time when the world was on the brink of monumental change. Set against the backdrop of the Midwest, this coming-of-age tale chronicles the life of a rebellious young man growing up in the small town of Hilliard, Ohio-a place steeped in conformity and tradition. At the tender age of 15, the narrator finds himself at odds with the rigid expectations of society, his spirit stifled by a school system that values obedience over creativity. After being unjustly failed in the eighth grade for refusing to cut his hair, he begins to explore the burgeoning counterculture scene at Ohio State University's North High Street. Here, he encounters the rising tide of the hippie movement and the mind-expanding possibilities of LSD, setting the stage for a transformative summer. The story weaves through a series of vivid experiences-hitchhiking to underground concerts, experimenting with psychedelic drugs, and navigating the complex social dynamics of the time. As he delves deeper into the world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, the young protagonist grapples with his identity, his place in a rapidly changing world, and the larger questions of freedom and rebellion. Wanderlust and LSD is not just a memoir of youthful defiance and self-discovery; it is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history. It captures the essence of a generation searching for meaning in the face of societal upheaval and the personal journey of one young man as he seeks to break free from the constraints of his upbringing and forge a new path. This is a story of rebellion, of the search for identity, and of the enduring quest for freedom in a world that often seems intent on denying it.

I wrote this in Creative Writing man idk

An excerpt from Almost A Hippie, a novel set at the ragged edge of the late 1960s. A young man leaves New England with no real plan-just the road. What begins as a kind of freedom moves slowly toward something less certain.

Beautifully written with a compelling story-arc and splashes of humor, this novel explores issues of fate and choice against a backdrop of Proposition 13, Jonestown mass suicide, Moscone and Milk murders, the rise of New Wave music, and the Twinkie Defense. Meet the latest incarnation of a love triangle: ambitious Laura, new to grad school and Berkeley, her go-with-the-flow boyfriend Walt, and his arrogant rival Cob, another grad student. The trio vows to "get it right this time" but intention meets karma and loses – again. Laura's choice between the men she loves, compromised by her desire to hold on to both, brings this story to its stunning conclusion. Hitch a ride with these characters, and come away glad you've met.

In the fictional nation of Phaldrom Island, a young traveler, Brianna Lars, becomes apart of an Andy Warhol inspired art collective known as The Factory, during a time of political and societal controversy that threatens to change lives of the next generation. ** Photo I used for the cover, I do not own!

Marcus, aka "w1n5t0n," is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works - and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. His whole world changes when, having skipped school, he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself. Can one teenage hacker fight back against a government out of control? Maybe, but only if he's really careful...and very, very smart.

Afterthoughts. Not Ex Machina, just Tabula Rasa.

A short story I wrote and kind of rushed but it's fine with me. Not really my style of writing either so... I don't know, hope you like it.
