Dapat manaig Siya.

Heeding not what men may say,
Fearing not the face of clay,
Christian soldier, stand.
2. Standing for the Word of God,
Standing for the precious blood,
Following where the saints have trod,
Christian soldier, stand.
3. Stand 'mid Satan's every wile,
Stand 'mid pleasure's wanton smile,
Stand when error would beguile;
Christian soldier, stand.
4. Stand till ends life's little day,
Stand for Jesus, come what may,
Stand and fight and watch and pray;
Christian soldier, stand.

1. 'Tis easy when the morning
Appears at last to view
To praise thy strong Redeemer
Who burst the bondage through,
But 'tis the praise at midnight
That gives the foe alarm,
That glorifies thy Savior,
And bares His strong right arm.
2. If thou wouldst be a conqueror,
Yea, more than conqueror thou,
If thou wilt shout in triumph
And claim the victory now;
The prison-doors will open,
The dungeon gleam with light,
And sin-chained souls around thee
Shall see thy Lord's great might.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE — BY PRAISING

And Satan strong,
Then firmly trust God's Word
And sing faith's song.

3. If pressed your spirit is
And powerless,
Pray thru the precious blood,
Victorious.
4. The foe though fierce, you can
Still fight with him;
If you will keep your stand,
You soon will win.

Christ's victory;
The situation dark
Soon changed will be.

With Calvary in view,
Where Jesus conquered Satan,
Where all His foes He slew;
Come, Lord, and give the vision
To nerve me for the fight,
Make me an overcomer
Clothed with Thy Spirit's might.

Since Christ, my conquering King
Has called me to the battle
Which He did surely win.

When Jesus leads me on
To press through hellish regions
To share with Him His Throne;

A victor, a victor!
Because of Calvary.
Make me an overcomer,
A conqu'ror, a conqu'ror, Lord, in Thee.

Just at the set of sun,
When Jesus waits to whisper,
"Well done, beloved, well done";
Come, Lord, bend from the Glory,

A victor to the last.

A conqu'ror, a conqu'ror, Lord, in Thee.

Rideth a King in His might,
Leading the host of all the faithful
Into the midst of the fight;
See them with courage advancing,
Clad in their brilliant array,
Shouting the name of their Leader,
Hear them exultingly say:
Not to the strong is the battle,
Not to the swift is the race;
Yet to the true and the faithful
Vict'ry is promised through grace.
2. Conquering now and still to conquer,
Who is this wonderful King?
Whence are the armies which He leadeth,
While of His glory they sing?
He is our Lord and Redeemer,
Savior and Monarch divine;
They are the stars that forever
Bright in His kingdom will shine.
Not to the strong is the battle,
Not to the swift is the race;
Yet to the true and the faithful
Vict'ry is promised through grace.
3. Conquering now and still to conquer,
Jesus, Thou Ruler of all,
Thrones and their scepters all shall perish,
Crowns and their splendor shall fall,
Yet shall the armies Thou leadest
Faithful and true to the last,
Find in Thy kingdom eternal
Rest, when their warfare is past.

Counting gain but loss;
Smite them by the merit
Of the holy cross.
2. Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble,
Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the conflict;
Watch, and pray, and fast.
3. Christian, dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil,
Always watch and prayer?"
Christian, answer boldly,
"While I breathe I pray";
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.

Ye Christian soldiers rise,
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies;
Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled;
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory,
That overcomes the world.
2. His banner over us is love,
Our sword the Word of God;

Swept on o'er every field;
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory,
That overcomes the world.
3. On every hand the foe we find
Drawn up in dread array;
Let tents of ease be left behind,
And onward to the fray.
Salvation's helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
Faith is the victory!

White raiment shall be giv'n;
Before the angels he shall know

A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.
2. The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called to Him to save:
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in his train?
3. A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.

4. A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed by strength divine from heaven,
Through peril, toil, and pain:
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

Fight the battle in the Body!
By the virtue of the Head;
Standing firmly with the Body,
Into vict'ry you'll be led.
2. For the Body is God's armor,
Not for anyone alone;
When you wrestle in the Body,
All its benefits you own.
Fight the battle in the Body!

Into vict'ry you'll be led.

Standing firmly with the Body,
Into vict'ry you'll be led.

2. Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

Pagka't ang kaaway
Ay sumasalakay;
Tuso't mabangis siya,
May-poot, dahas pa,
Sa lupa'y walang gaya.
2. Kung sa sarili'y umasa,
Pagsisikap ay talo;
Tamang Tao ang kasama,
Hirang ng Diyos na Tao:

Si Kristo Hesus nga;
Diyos ng mga hukbo,
Di Siya nagbabago,
Sa labana'y nanalo.
3. Mundo'y lipos ng demonyo,
Sa atin nagbabanta;
Katotohana'y panalo,
Diyos sa ati'y 'tinakda:
Prinsipe ng Dilim,
Di kayang yanigin;
Galit niya'y tiisin,
Ti-yak siyang talunin,
Sa salita'y lipulin.

At siya'y nananatili;

1. The name of Jesus is our stand,
It is our victory;
Not on ourselves do we rely,
But, mighty Lord, on Thee.
Our weapons are not arms of flesh,
But ours the Spirit's sword,
And God's whole armor putting on,
We battle in the Lord.
2. Behold, the foe doth meet and plot,
Stand firm in one accord!
Though war be fierce and darkness thick,
Resist him in the Lord!
If one thru fear should backward turn,
He undermines the rest.
Oh, do not let your brothers down,
Nor by you be distressed.
3. The devil knows his time is short,
He is the more enraged,
And by his wiles would weaken us
Before the battle's waged.
The trials now more numerous are,
The suff'ring e'en more sore,
The force of hell opposing us
More dreadful than before.
4. What should our posture be today
In such a desperate hour?
Should we our ease and pleasure seek
And let the foe devour?
Or with increasing conflict strong,
Courageous to endure?
'Tis here that life or death is won!
Who will God's praise secure?
5. For Christ the Lord we then would stand,
He is the Conqueror!
For Him we would endure the pain
Until the fight is o'er.
The hour of triumph soon we'll see—
The Lord will come again;
If now we suffer for His sake,
Then we with Him shall reign.

3. Gahol sa oras ang diyablo,
Lalong mabangis siya,
Pahihinain ka bago

Panlilinlang, dusa't tukso
Higit kaysa dati,

Nang lalong matindi.
4. Sa panganib ng panahon
Saloobin ano?
Kaaway tayo'y matalo
Kung sa layaw ayon.
Tiising may katapangan,
Matinding labanan;
Buhay o kamatayan nga,

5. Sa matagumpay na Kristo,

Kung ngayon tayo'y magdusa,

Still walking in your Captain's sight
And watching unto prayer.

We'll overcome in Jesus' name,
We'll overcome in Jesus' name!
Our hands empow'r, our hearts enflame!
3. We lift up firm and high
The Cross, our banner glorious.
The enemy notorious
By Blood we dare defy.
To self the Cross apply,
On Christ alone rely.

Our hearts enflame!
We'll overcome in Jesus' name,
We'll overcome in Jesus' name!
Our hands empow'r, our hearts enflame!

SPIRITUAL WARFARE — BY THE LORD'S AUTHORITY
E892† (T892) (C-645)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. With all the pow'r in heav'n and earth
Our resurrected Lord's endued;
If we unite and live by Him,
The enemy will be subdued.
2. In Jesus' name we must declare
That we shall overcome the foe;
We draw authority from Him
The serpent's head to crush below.
3. No matter what, thou mountain high,
In heav'n or earth, where'er thou art,
At any cost we'll level thee,
In Jesus' name thou must depart!
4. Faith orders thee "Remove from here,
And be thou cast into the sea!"
We should, we must, we can, we will,
Fulfill God's purpose faithfully.
ESPIRITUWAL NA PAKIKIPAGBAKA — SA PAMAMAGITAN NG AWTORIDAD NG PANGINOON
T892 (E892)
1. Kay Kristo ang awtoridad
Sa langit at buong lupa;
Kai-sa, mamuhay sa Kanya,
Susuko ang kalaban Niya.
2. Sa ngalang Hesus ibadya,
Kaaway madaraig nga;
Awtoridad Niya ay kamtan
Nang ahas ay matapakan.
3. Bundok man na mataas ka,
Saan man sa langit, lupa,
Sa ngalang Hesus alisin,
Papantayin ka nga namin.
4. "Bundok, masugba sa dagat!"
Pananalig ang nag-utos;
Tiyak, handa, nais, dapat—
Tupding tapat layon ng Diyos.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE — BY THE LORD'S COMING
E893† (T893) (C-641, different tune)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Conflict today is fierce,
The strength of Satan more;
The cry of battle calling now
Is louder than before.
The rebel voice of hell
E'en stronger now becomes;
But list, the midnight cry resounds,
Behold, I quickly come!
2. Trials more bitter grow,
The fighting doth enlarge;
Hell's forces rally all their pow'rs
And gather for the charge.
Yet while we wait and watch
And feel the war severe,
We hear the joyful song ring out,
Jesus, the Lord, is near!
3. 'Tis harder at the end
The word to testify,
For Satan fights with all his pow'r
Our witness to defy.
Much greater strength we need
The foe to overcome;
How happy when the Lord we see
And all our sighing's done!
4. Who then will forward go
Strong in His mighty power?
Who then will firmly trust the Lord
Until the vict'ry hour;
Till with the conqu'rors blest,
The triumph song's begun?
That man will then rejoice to hear,
Behold, I quickly come!
5. Who then will choose God's best,
And take the narrow track,
Though passing thru the wildest storms,
Yet never turning back?
Who now will dare press on,
Enduring pain and fear?
All such will then rejoice to see
Jesus, the Lord, is near!
6. Though deep the darkness be
We still would onward go,
Till we the day of rapture greet
And glory 'round shall glow.
'Tis there we'll see the Lord,
And Satan overcome;
The overcomers will rejoice,
Jesus, the Lord, has come!

1. Matinding labanan,
Sigaw ng digmaan,
Lakas ni Satanas higit,
Ngayon kaysa dati.
Tinig ng impiyerno,
Lumakas na lalo;
Nguni't pakinggan tinig Niya,
Ako'y parating na.
2. Pagsubok pumait,
Labanan humigit;
Nagtipon puwersa ng sama
Upang lumusob na.
Sa tindi ng digma
Maghintay, magbantay,
Narinig himig masaya,
Hesus malapit na!
3. Mas hirap na ngayon
Verbo'y patunayan,
Ating pagsaksi'y salangsang
Lakas ni Satanas.
Pagdating kalaban,
Mas lakas kailangan;
Anong galak makita Siya
Walang himutok na!
4. Sino ang susulong
Sa Kanya'y tumibay?
Sinong sa Kanya'y aasa
Hanggang magtagumpay;
Hanggang mandaraig,
Tagumpay aawit?
Narinig nang maligaya,
Ako'y parating na!
5. Piliin magaling,
Makitid tahakin,
Mahirap man at bagyuhin,
Hindi lilingunin?
Matitiis mo ba,
Dusa at pangamba?
Lahat magalak makita
Hesus, malapit na!
6. Malalim mang dilim,
Kami tuloy pa rin,
Hanggang mai-akyat may galak
Gloria'y lumiwanag.
Hari makikita,
Satanas talo na;
Mandaraig magsisaya,
Hesus dumating na!

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;

Work thru Him for His praise;
Work with Him all the days;
And work in Him in many ways.
2. To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the thirsty be led;

Work thru Him for His praise;
Work with Him all the days;
And work in Him in many ways.
3. To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
By the pow'r of His Name, with the light of His Word,
All the slaves of the darkness of Satan set free

Work thru Him for His praise;
Work with Him all the days;
And work in Him in many ways.

1. Go, labor on; spend, and be spent;
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2. Go, labor on: 'tis not for nought;
Thy earthly loss is heav'nly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises, what are men?

4. Go, labor on while it is day,
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away,
It is not thus that souls are won.
5.
6. Press on, faint not, keep watch and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
7. Press on, and in thy work rejoice;
For work comes rest, the prize thus won;
Soon shalt thou hear the Master's voice,
The midnight cry, Behold, I come!

1. Work, for the Day is coming,
Day in the Word foretold,
When, 'mid the scenes triumphant,
Longed for by saints of old,
He, who on earth a stranger
Traversed its paths of pain,
Jesus, the Prince, the Savior,
Comes evermore to reign.
2. Work, for the Day is coming,
Darkness will soon be gone;
Then o'er the night of weeping
Day without end shall dawn.
What now we sow in sadness
Then we shall reap in joy;
Hope will be changed to gladness,
Praise be our blest employ.
3. Work, for the Day is coming,
Made for the saints of light;
Off with the garments dreary,
On with the armor bright:
Soon will the strife be ended,
Soon all our toils below;
Not to the dark we're tending,
But to the Day we go.
4. Work, for the Lord is coming,
Children of light are we;
From Jesus' bright appearing
Powers of darkness flee.
Out of the mist, at His bidding,
Souls like the dew are born:
O'er all the East are spreading
Tints of the rosy morn.
5. Work, then, the Day is coming,
No time for sighing now;
Prize for the race awaits thee,
Wreaths for the victor's brow.
Now morning Light is breaking,
Soon will the Day appear;
Night shades appall no longer,
Jesus, our Lord, is near.

1. The love of Christ constraineth;
Oh, let the watchword ring
Till all the world adoring
To Jesus' feet it bring.
Till north and south the kingdoms
Shall own His glorious sway,
And east and west the nations
Rejoice to see His Day.
2. The love of Christ constraineth;
At home, abroad, where'er
By sea or shore abiding
His Name and mark we bear.
We ask not that our service
Or great or small may be,
If only Thou wilt own it,
Dear Lord, as unto Thee.
3. The love of Christ constraineth;
And we who trust His Word,
Who know and feel its power
To gladder service stirred,
Shall neither faint nor falter,
Though dark the night and long,
And weak our hands that labor;
His strength shall make us strong.
4. The love of Christ constraineth;
Then let us work and pray,
And watch the glad appearing
Of that triumphant day,
When Father, Son, and Spirit,
By every tongue confessed,
All earth His broad dominion
In His dear love shall rest.
SERVICE — BY BEING BURIED
E899
Peculiar Meter.
1. The work is Thine, O Christ our Lord,
The cause for which we stand;
And being Thine, 'twill overcome
Its foes on every hand.
Yet grains of wheat, before they grow,
Are buried in the earth below;
All that is old doth perish there
To form a life both new and fair:
So too are we from self and sin made free.
2. Through suff'ring Thou, O Christ, didst go
Unto Thy throne above,
And leadest now the selfsame way
Those true in faith and love;
So lead us, then, though suff'rings wait,
To share Thy kingdom's heav'nly state;
Thy death has broken Satan's might,
And leads the faithful to the light;
Eternal light, from darkness into light.
3. Thou hast, O Savior, led the way
Through agony and death;
O give, we pray, yet more and more
Thy Spirit's living breath!
Send messengers o'er land and sea
To bring Thy children all to Thee;
Thy name can save, Thy name makes free;
We consecrate ourselves to Thee
As servants true, as warriors brave and true.

Desegregation of Harford Country Public Schools The reason I chose this topic is because I want to become a special education teacher. I believe that this topic is a great viewpoint of what happened to teachers and students in the past with the desegregation of the schools. The years involved in the desegregation of Harford County Public schools are from the mid 1800’s through the end of the 1900’s. I think it was tragic the things that happened throughout the desegregation of Harford County Public schools but I think it was mostly tragic for the teachers and everything they had to go through.
From 1837-1994 Maryland when the supreme court first spoke about the desegregation in schools the State and local officials accepted it as a law of the land. Nearly half of the African American students were attending Caucasian schools. “If there’s an all-black school and an all-white school over here, there would be students in the black school who could progress as well as the whites, but as long as they stay separate, they would never get the same things to work…. that’s the problem.” The reason this is relevant is because of the fact that the teacher has a point if the schools were desegregated then the Caucasians and the African Americans could learn the same things and wouldn’t has a ton of conflicts. In the 1930’s teachers went to work with less public agitation. Yet the African Americans were still faced with many obstacles just because of their ethnic and cultural background and their skin color. African American teachers and students had it rough through the 1900’s. African Americans have had it hard trying to get jobs everywhere since the 1900’s.
In 1940 Viola Duval Stewart challenged unequal pay scales of black and white teachers. She had then won her case of unequal pay. Southern schools were still legally segregated and African Americans were being treated horribly unfair. African American schools received less funding and less supplies. White children and white schools were far more superior, and they were equipped with more up to date supplies.
The school board of Harford County scheduled a four-year program which would begin with high school grades and then incorporate the elementary level. The four year plan had some rules and these are what they were. “1. The discontinuance or limitation of transfer policy is a denial of constitutional rights... 2. The continued existence of segregated schools in our community for, four more years raises serious questions as to the responsibility and morality of the people… 3. No provisions are made for employment of additional negro teachers during the next four years. 4. The cost of transporting pupils’ long distances to the African American schools will continue to be uneconomical.” The reason that these rules are relevant is that they show how the schools are being treated and how there are problems with the past’s society.
All of the events and topics that I have talked about are all helpful and beneficial to learning about the different problems with education in the 1900’s. Desegregation in schools was a huge issue at first and then later in the 1900’s towards the end of the 1900’s. The teachers eventually had a better break in working with each other.

Excercise by yourself.
Or use DesignDesign.Space as your coach.
Many of our exercises become published online, named Scales. Because that is what they are: the scales that musicians play for practice. The name also refers to scaled models that architects use to visualize their ideas. The scaling of details is an important part of any design process.
The growing number of exercises on this site contain a short description of the challenge, paired with “how-to-do-it” information. Try them. If it works for you, that is great. If you need more coaching, then consider a study at DesignDesign.Space, where many more of these exercises are waiting for you. Custom made.
If you run out of time when finalizing an exercise, that is never a problem. Designing the process and planning the flow are integral parts of the design process itself. Maybe next time you choose a better level of detail. Or select another approach. Or pick a different tool.
Exercises have their own unique number. You can get a hint about their topics from their 100-range. Research oriented exercises are numbered from 200-299. Typography from 1100-1199. Within that range, simple assignments have low numbers. Higher numbers indicate more complexity.
Some Exercises are grouped as a sequence. Their numbers are followed by a letter to show the order.

Drug: LSD, in the form of one 'Easter Island' blotter tab.
Administration: Oral
Mindset: Cool! Iím really looking forward to this trip, my friend Eric and Fragment are both tripping for the first time. Friend Bob decides not to take his trip, and instead just smokes some chronic. Read a lot of reports and talked to some other people who have had these blotters before, so Iím fairly confident that its going to be a fantastic night, and that Iím going to trip absolute balls.
Also, I canít wait to have nitrous on LSD, as Iím told itís a crazy experience. Not really nervous since Iíve taken LSD before, however I can imagine the nervousness that Eric and Fragment must be experiencing, which is only further compounded since this is their first real 'chemical experience' of sorts. Eric and Bob have to go early the next day, so we decide to drop the cid early in the night.
Setting: Fragmentís garage/house. Itís detached from his main house so it doesnít suffer from having the occasional and unfortunate parental walk in. Thereís the main room, Fragís bedroom, and a garage spot out the back where we had beds to sleep in. This was also where we smoked the chron. People there are me, fragment, friends Eric and Bob and Fragís brother, 'r' and his friend Ivan.
Timeline:
7:09pm T + 0
Fragment, I and Eric eat one 'Easter Island' blotter each. Tastes like cardboard and generally isnít very nice. Bob decides not to eat his at the last minute and instead just chills with us. I keep the blotter under my tongue for a while (20 mins) and then decide to chew it up. Tastes like cardboard, so I have a shot glass full of creaming soda to get rid of the taste. Frag puts on some Astral Projection, a goa trance group and we sit back and chill out for a while just talking about stuff. Myself and Eric find Frag's strobe and my UFO fibre-optic lamp and set them up for later in the night.
7:39pm T + 30
We decide to head out into the back of Frag's garage and his brother 'r' and friend Ivan decide to smoke a little of their chron to get their night started. They quickly assemble a gravity bong while I sit down and talk to Frag and Eric about stuff. I then remember that Frag has a digital camera, and decide to try and get the capture function working on it. After trying unsuccessfully to do it, I give up and meet Frag half way, he says 'no way, only 30mins into it and I'm already feeling something'. Knowing this is just an alert, I say 'Itís probably just your first alert'. He seems put at ease, and we both go back into the garage and chill there. I pack some cones of this mad cronique for 'r' and Ivan. They both get very stoned, and Bob decides to have a cone or two. Meanwhile, I start to feel the come-up of the chemical, 'weightless' arms, and the feeling of that seemingly impossible 4th dimension
7:54pm T + 45
Iím definitely feeling the come up now, the start of the eutrophic feeling that I often get with MDMA, my mood improves from good to great. Eric is complaining that 'It isnít working' I reminisce back to when I first had LSD, when I didnít notice any effects till I was peaking. 'You probably are, but you havenít realised it yet' I say, hoping to quell his feelings of disappointment.
Time for a quick side note; Eric is the hardest drinker I know, for his diminutive Irish stature, his drinking prowess is well renowned in my circle of friends. At first, I thought he was simply treating it a bit like Alcohol, and not admitting that he was feeling any effects (the 'Iím not drunk, Iím more of a man than that' syndrome ) so I decided to really test the effects by giving him a bulb.
I loaded a bulb into the bulbalator, and handed it to Eric. He inhaled the entire bulb and let out a great sigh of relief as he exhaled the bulb. I waited for the effects to hit him, and hit him they did. He flopped around and made strange noises, as one does on nitrous. 'Woah!' he says 'That was one intense nang!' Around 5 mins later, he claims that heís still feeling strange, and that itís just the nitrous, but I know otherwise.
Meanwhile, Iím really starting to feel good, my arms feel very strange now, and walking feels great, as if Iíve got a springy step, like springs on the bottom of my shoes.
8:17pm T + 1h8mins
Fragment is on the computer doing something; the goa is still going strong and is really starting to sound much better than normal. Feel my 3rd alert, and really starting to feel the effects. While looking at things for along enough time, I think I can see like a microscope, viewing in and in with lots of levels of detail. Bob (who is quite stoned) and Eric are sitting on the futon/couch watching fragment do things on the computer.
 I decide to use my bong, as I prefer it to the buckets, where as Eric decides to have the first bucket. Bob lies on a bed, looking decidedly stoned, Ivan and 'R' have gone into the house looking for munchies.
Eric pulls the first cone, and inhales it down. 'Wow, this goes down real easy' he remarks as he sits back and chills as I pull a cone. It is definitely easier I realise as I pull the cone. The cron seems to go down without the usual slight discomfort.
We both look at each other, Eric has pupils the size of the moon, and I suppose I do too. The cron hits and I start to feel the effects of the LSD even more. Eric looks at me and we both decide to have another cone. We then head out and see what fragments doing in the other room. My mind is really gearing up, and the little men inside my brain are starting to shovel the coal of ideas faster and faster.

The book that I was writing my alerts and feelings in simply has this line written there 'Wow! Fucked' And I was. By this time, the LSD had reared its head to full effect, I was just under the start of my peak. Full body rushes, great feeling of well being, feelings of floatyness cave upon my soul and I start laughing. I hear the 'Psssssssscht' of the bulbalator, and I head into the garage to see that fragment is taking a nang. I watch as his reality splits in two, his brain unable to handle the full effect of the nitrous and LSD.
Iíd gotten to the stage by now when I couldnít wait any more for my nitrous, and looking down at my hand, where Iíd written earlier before 'You Have Nangs!' I ran off to grab a box and returned to the bed where fragment had been earlier before.
I load 1 bulb into the bulbalator as I hear the 'Psssssssscht' I feel relieved, I take the bulb into my lungs, and reality simply ceases to be. I feel as if I sink 10 feet down in the soft bed that Iím now lying IN. The roof melts, and I see a vision of a multi-coloured land.  As I put my hands to my face, I wipe away this 'Reality' into the next one.
Just after I get up, I know that Iím peaking. The acid is very strong, and everything is in full effect now, a slight loss of motor control in the legs I notice as I walk into the main room and sit down on fragmentís futon next to Eric. Someone has turned on the strobe light and now my vision has gone haywire. Snatches of thousands of small realities bombard my senses as I start to have visions of swirling colours.
Note: This is where I stop writing in my book, for obvious reasons, namely loss of control of my brain . So the timeline gets quite demented here

Woah, Iím lying on the floor looking up at Ivan who has just returned from his munchies mission, but suddenly Iím no longer nickthecheese, Iím Lieutenant Commander Chris Chips of the 32nd Space Infantry. We are stranded and are trying to get back to earth, and I have just received some important news about the war. I write in the book ; 'Important news, Someone told us about the war, there will definitely be large scary blonde models who are thin and wear phat pants.'
I looked up, Ivan was one of those models, he looked at me and I was scared. I turned to 'The Strobe' our technological saviour to banish the models away. When I looked at the strobe I imagined the technology side of life, how we depend on electricity, electronic messaging and just technology in general. I was so lost in thought, I didnít realise that I was slowly being swallowed by the carpet, so quickly I got up and sat back down on the futon.
9:??pm T + 1h??mins
I find the book again, it reads 'eVil had consumed the previous pages and I can feel it coming now'
Wow! This trip is going great. Bob is sitting around, trying not to look bored, but I can see that he is. I look at Eric he is doing something, but I canít figure out what. Fragment is using the computer, and goes off to do something. I look at Eric and he smiles, we both go for the computer and type our thoughts down simultaneously. Some (well, most of it) is garble, but some of it makes sense to us.
Turn around to look at something and realise I have writing on my hand, it reads 'You Have Nangs!'. I leap for joy, 'I HAVE NANGS!' I say proudly, Eric looks at me, and then looks at his hand, 'Hey! I got em too!' he says. We both dance happily around until Frag comes back to find that his PC has been hijacked. 'Letís go do some of these nangs' I say to Eric as we both go out to the garage.
We go out to the garage, and Eric loads 3 nangs into my bulbalator. He inhales the first lot, and goes crazy, I can see inside his body, the nitrous effecting his already overworked brain. Then he quickly grabs the book off me and writes 'I WILL EAT ALL OF U'. I ponder about the long term effects of drugs that can do something like this to the brain, but all that is washed away as I start loading the bulbalator.
I ponder as Eric goes limp and flops around at the last of his nang, the three things that the human body remembers to do, regardless of its state. They are; Breathe, Beat Heart, and Load Bulbalator. I tell Eric and we both laugh, we swap positions and I inhale the nitrous. Words simply cannot describe what I felt. A million different realties rush in from all sides, and I replay 100 peopleís lives.
9:4?pm T + 1h ??mins
I find the book again, and I feel relieved, since I lost it. I write 'I found the pen, the book is safe but the strobe is my man pimp slowly
70ís, 80ís, early 90ís, 00, 02 > oh yeah, years of strobe'
I think I wrote this because at this time, Eric had found the controls to the strobe, and was slowly increasing its flash rate, hence the 'Years of strobe' as the strobe got faster, technology increased, like computers today vs. computers in the 70ís.
I marvelled at such technology, but remembered my ultimate goal 'I need to find my shoes so I can go outside and look at nature with a magnifying glass.'
'Oh no, strobes got me now, Iím trapped in a submarine with a strobe driver as a whore'
I think at this stage I wanted to get out, the strobe had become cumbersome and I needed to see the other side of life, nature. I think it was around this time that we ventured outside and hand some nangs outside. I was constantly perplexed, if the nature side was this beautiful, how come we were so dependent on the strobe (technology). I pondered this over some more nitrous, and not being able to find a sufficient answer, and being cold, I went inside for more goa.
10:41pm T + 2h8mins
Note: ^^ Only reason this is here because I wrote down the time in the book.
The book reads at this time 'Iíve got a pencil now, its 10:41pm' 'Fish finger is really yucky'
Ivan and 'r' had gone back into the house for more munchies and returned with fish fingers, which I tried to eat but instantly spat out because they were so yucky. It tasted like a cold, wet, furry apricot bar, but without the apricot.
I tried to chop some cron at this point, to have a little more of a smoke, but I kept thinking of other things to do, and kept getting distracted. So I wrote myself a note 'What is nickthecheese doing?' 'HEíS CHOPPING UP CHRON! DO IT!' I chopped up some chron, but got distracted and went into the strobe room and talked to Eric for a bit about how we were feeling.
11:23pm T+2h42mins
I finished chopping the cron sometime ago, but kept forgetting to smoke it. Me and Eric decided to smoke, so we had another cone each, and then went back to the strobe room, where the computer was playing some winamp AVS visualizations (Tagís Ė Bitter Paper. To be exact) It looked so cool, swirling colours chopped up into flashes of reality by the strobe.
All I can say here is that when on LSD, I have never heard more beautiful and thought provoking music. All of Aphexís music I have enjoyed in the past, but none more than this. My movement started to mimic that of his songs, with my movements becoming mechanical at first, and then slowly changing with the music. It was, literally, a new way of life. I danced the CD all the way through, before giving it to Eric who did the same, and now appreciates Aphex more than he did before.
Unknown time, T + 3-4h
The cat enters the room. Mega shock. I love cats normally, but I just had to feel the texture of its fur now, so I picked it up and stroked it lovingly, when it looked at me and I swear it smiled. So I put it on the bed and started stroking it listening to Aphex. Ivan and fragment came in and started stroking the cat too. If you can imagine 3 guys stroking one cat, the cat was SO happy. He purred and that made me feel good, as if I had re-connected with my side of nature and my previous 'Strobe Addiction' or dependence on technology had ceased. Nature didnít care if you had sinned in the past, but it cared that you cared about it now, so I lay there and stroked the cat some more. I renounced the strobe, with all its artificial glory, and praised the cat, and the nature of the whole world.
Unknown time, T + 5-6h
The cat, bored with lying on the bed, entered the room with the strobe, and here is where my previous conceptions fell apart. The two forces in the universe, 'The Cat' (nature) and 'The Strobe' (technology) had melded. The cat was made of liquid chrome, much like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. I quickly rushed over to the cat and stroked him, the liquid chrome coming off onto my hands, and dribbling over my fingers down onto the futon. This was amazing, how could nature and technology join as a whole, like the positive and negative of the universe, and not completely annihilate each other. I was confused, and getting tired by this stage, so Eric, myself and Fragment decided to go to bed. Bob had already gone to bed, but I hadnít noticed.
The effects were noticeably still there, but did werenít nearly as strong as I pulled the much softer than normal rug over myself and went to sleep.
Conclusion: Wow! What a fantastic trip I had. I couldnít have asked for much more, maybe just a teensy bit of paranoia in the morning, when I thought Bob was insulting me, but apart from that, the entire night rocked.
Thanks for reading this far, next time I do LSD will be for self discovery, and I think I am ready to take the next step up in dosage.

I've been working on my thoughts about the trend for women and girls towards skimpier, more revealing clothing for over a week now but I haven't been able to get it quite right. The Two Blowhards recently treated the same subject, but they looked at it from a more reportorial angle whereas my thoughts are suffused with evaluation.
One of the points made in their comments area is that your perspective on sexiness changes dramatically once you have daughters. As someone for whom daughter possession is imminent, I can agree with that. One of the many ways in which it changes is that you realize that it's one thing for the girls to want to dress like that—popularity is very important and so are boys, but popularity with boys is doubly so—it's another thing entirely for a parent or parents to allow the child to dress like that.
Parents out there are probably thinking, "I tried to get them to not wear those getups but they wouldn't listen." I have heard parents speak of letting their children do things because they tried to make them stop unsuccessfully; I've seen them in the supermarkets and malls telling their kids no and then giving in when the kids started fussing. I'm afraid of what will happen when their kids are old enough to consider alcohol, "Mommy, you never give me any scotch. Wahhhh!" These sorts of things never worked in my day and we made do. I know that that's a classic posture—things were different in my day—but they definitely were: at least in public.
Parents back then were much more concerned about their public image because a spoiled rotten brat for a child would earn them the withering glares of other shoppers and a sluttily-dressed girl would have been positively scandalous. Tattoos and piercings were for pirates, sailors, and the seedy underbelly of society. Now they're practically de rigeur among both parents and children. The private is the public; there is nothing left that won't be flaunted. "Kids want to look sexy at 12? Well, that's what everybody's doing: how can I fight the tide?"
To so trivially sexualize your child is reprehensible. The sexual revolution was about not being ashamed of sex, not being afraid of it.  This is truly a helpful notion for women. What it didn't advocate was that sexuality was a public act. Sex was something that consenting adults did in the bedroom and the repeal of many blue laws was heralded as keeping "the government out of the bedroom."
Somewhere along the line, sex became a public act. Necking went from something that teenagers did on the edge of town to something they did at the mall. Public sex acts increased among all segments and age groups of the population. Jerry Springer's show put forth the notion that there was some really bizarre stuff happening out there and the World Wide Web made access to that bizarre stuff even easier. The maxim "If you've got it, flaunt it" dropped the first clause and the sexual revolution somehow inched below the age of majority floor.
At the same time, repeated proclamations of girl power and female empowerment were bandied about with the introduction of video games oriented towards women and movies featuring strong female leads. Something always felt wrong about this, but I couldn't pin it down until I read an article on the subject. Empowerment in this context is a chimera: a commingling of assertiveness with flaunted sexuality.
The examples cited in the article—Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft and Charlie's Angels—are apt and representative, but there's a much more insidious perversion of empowerment coursing throughout our society. The media examples are poignant and pervasive, but the media is just the harbinger of change—the permeation of our society suggests that the bastardization has taken root.
I'm talking about the general disdain for intellectual pursuits and the embrace of all things puerile and lascivious. The same thing that produces Lara Croft (and Temptation Island and Fear Factor and The Fifth Wheel) also creates a site about Republican Babes.  And women acquire power or status only insofar as they're willing to be sexy.
In other words, while the sexual revolution represented the liberation of women from stereotypes and Puritanism, it never addressed women in a non-sexual context. Never is a little overstated, but it didn't address it in a significant way or we would see its effects today. Sexuality is a private thing primarily between a man and a woman—though all manner of other combinations are possible, of course. By linking women's (and now girls') identities to their sexuality, this private wonderful act becomes their public persona. Girl power, then, becomes the act of using your sexuality to get what you want.
That does a profound disservice to sex, women, and relationships. Women (and now girls) become mere objects for men's desire or gawking. They become the pawns of women since "they're only after one thing." The women, recognizing this, withhold that "one thing" while dressing as if they were quite willing to do that "one thing." Sounds like a timeless problem, right? It was because all of that is now quite open and public. Previously, men had to get to know a woman before he had sex with her and he had to more or less court her. Overt sexual behavior wasn't part of the equation and could lead to immediate dismissal.
 Sex on the first date isn't uncommon and people sleep with other people rather casually, even as friends. Women are judged on their looks and their sexuality. I can't remember the last time I heard any man comment on how bright a woman was or how intriguing she seemed. It's all about how "hot" she looks or how quickly she might have sex.
Jeremy Zawodny recently noted how rare it is to find books in people's houses anymore. I seconded that because I can't, offhand, think of anyone I know locally who has more than a hundred books in their house or reads regularly. And I've noted a disturbing lack of intellectual activity in all of the teens I've encountered as well. I'm sure that intellectual pursuits are still frowned upon in the high school culture, much like they were when I was in school.
I'll confess to not being terribly familiar with the current teenager scene, but I've read enough to suggest that I am, if anything, understating the situation. That is the minimum bar that future kids will raise higher and higher. And that scares me more than I can say.
My daughters will grow up in that context, but they will not partake of it if I have anything to do with it. And I will. My responsibility as a parent is to raise my children and I'll be damned if I'm going to let them distract me from that purpose because of any temporary inconvenience or embarrassment. My wife and I have already decided that they will not hang out at the mall, that they will not dress like prostitots, that they will watch a limited amount of television, and that they will sit down to dinner with us at the dinner table on a nightly basis. I will encourage in them a love of and thirst for knowledge that will lead them on a path of lifelong learning. I will impart in them a respect for books and the knowledge they contain. I will foster in them an attitude of logic and reason so that they may come to understand the world and the ideas expressed in it.
There is the distinct possibility that this proto-sexual anarchy will engender a backlash and a reaction. Perhaps other parents will come to be as frustrated and disgusted as I am about the state in which we find our society and they will take their children out of the cultural norm. And perhaps this will stanch the moral tide and restore a return to normalcy. I don't really know, but I suspect that it's simply too much effort for most people to expend. It is not too much for me and it is simply too important to not undertake it.
