bum bum bumbum.

so I guess to do it right (if you really want my opinion, or whatever) I guess how to do it right is:  Buy them beforehand.  I'm talking three months before, at least.  Take care of the bag.. store it in different places throughout this period, and not in sunlight at all, but really.. develop a sort of.. mental relationship with them, just habiting your space.  Maybe crack open the container and smell them a little bit.  just prepare for your very soul to be invaded, and also a question of identity to be posed.. they force you to redfine yourself in a way.  It's definitely a breach of alien form,

   just be prepared to re-think the world as you know it,

and sometimes it isn't pretty.

   you'll hear sounds different, and see beautiful colors in your head, get lost in your food, if you can even
sort a process out... It's a strange relationship because sometimes you just feel retarded, and other times you're enlightened beyond all Eastern Daoist belief..functioning, in-class, driving, being around family, or at work or something.  Its truly a roll of the dice.  Whether there's a dog show on t.v., or a spiderweb in your room, you're going to have a blast, or analyze something to no end.. so I'd recommend not camping, or rock climbing in Nevada, or doing anything extreme, or balls out like that.. whether alone, or with friends THE FIRST TIME should be a little more controlled.. maybe later, but not now.. for this time, or JOURNEY or whatever.. I'd say just chill in your home, room, house or whatever, preferably with a pet near by, some good music, and... you're seriously going to cry at Spock dying, or laugh your ass off at one line for the rest of the movie.. it seriously can be a ridiculous time if you're just watching 'Ice Age' or playing the original Super Mario Brothers on 8-bit Nintendo (that game takes alot more instinct than you'd imagine. Lol) but anyways, its a make-or-break point for the next year of your life unless you're down to try it again for a new result.. but I'd say don't get crazy with it, maybe a total of five times throughout your life, and people always say to avoid a mirror, but I say go for it, a must-do even.  the mirror I mean, but if you choose not to "do" them or something, keep in mind they're really no big deal to miss out on. hope this helps...
