The Steampunk World

Being the continued explorations of a living steampunk.

The steampunk world is all around us, lying just out of sight, in a continuous thread of steampunk builders and culture that extends from the Victorian era to the present. You'll find no science fiction here: This is real life steampunk.

A little bit before the current fad of either posting about what you ate or bitching about people who post about what they ate, I started a drug journal. I fondly remember, in 1995, pointing my Mosaic every day to Timothy Leary's cutting-edge web page where he recorded his massive drug intake while dying. It was right around the time where I got into illegal drugs (having been raised on a healthy diet of legal ones like any American- got a problem? Take a pill!) and so I thought drugs were "cool" and also felt a lot better about my own usage compared to ol' Tim's. This journal is coming at the other end of that hazy half-decade, and is intended to help me discover where I need to cut back. I already know that caffeine is my worst addiction. I would love to be substance-free, but it's tough. Psychotropic substances are everywhere. The legal ones are the most insidious. Thank goodness I'm healthy, or I'd be slave to another host of pills. What legal drug are you hooked on?

No, you can't see it. I can't imagine too many things more personal than one's medicine cabinet.
