The Periodical Erotic Frenzy. A Libertarian, who enjoys Disco, blues, classic rock, funk, & hip hop. I dig the enigmatic and unusual, politics, beat poetry, steez, western films, good ol' Mary Jane, psychedelics, films, sex, & anything tantalizing. I believe in common sense, the constitution, Liberty, and small government. Grassroots always. I'm a thrift connoisseur by day, lounge cat by night. Don't harsh my mellow. 'Liberty or Death'
I’m not one thing. I consist of everything. I'm the angelic nastiness. I run with the masses and the opened minded. My body in many respects have been despoiled. I’m in a million little pieces and I’m giving myself to you. This is all practice for something bigger. Constantly rollin’ with the punches and jivin’ at bars and parties. Like most people, I roll with a group of seekers, movers, the malcontent, and at times; stupid hell-raisers. Together, we are those you meet that can change you; sometimes so profoundly that you're not the same afterward. I am The Periodical Erotic Frenzy, The porn hidden under your mattress. Exuding what your brain lusts for when its not inspired. I’m a lounge lizard in the back of the bar, or I’m with the party crew that is all up in your face. I quote the right words to tickle your fancy. This is the generation of ‘eye fucking’ and the insightful youth. I can bare the wolf’s teeth, and the sheep’s lips. I am a dreamer of the day and I’m not afraid to dream with my eyes open. I am the morbid. The crude. The funny. The tomboy. The nerd. The lover. The pot head. The steez hunter. The movie quoter. The music seeker, and everything else in between.

The Science of Halloween: The Salem Witch Trials
In the winter of 1692 in the Puritan settlement of Salem, Massachusetts, eight girls contracted a strange illness with terrifying symptoms—incoherent screaming, hallucinations, crawling skin, contortions and convulsions… When physicians could find no medical cause for their behaviour, witchcraft was suggested, and then accusations began to fly. What followed was the infamous Salem Witch Trials, which took the lives of twenty people and imprisoned many more. But what was the true cause of the mania? Perhaps the most intriguing and plausible theory—first proposed by Linda Caporael in 1976—suggests that the girls were suffering from ergot poisoning. Ergot (Claviceps purpurea) is a fungus that infects grain crops and forms a hallucinogenic drug—LSD is derived from it, and it’s thought to be linked to many bizarre occurrences throughout the middle ages, including the “Dance of Death.” When ingested, most often through bread, ergot releases a potent mycotoxin that cause victims to suffer headaches, paranoia, convulsive fits, burning and itching skin, vomiting, and hallucinations, which are fairly consistent with the symptoms of Salem’s “witches.” Moreover, ergot thrives in a cold winter followed by a warm, humid spring, and weather records show that in 1691, Salem boasted these very conditions. So, although there’s no way of knowing with absolute certainty, it seems that ergot poisoning was a strong contributing factor to the trials. Since Salem was brewing with inequality, fear of native Indians, bitter land disputes and sexual repression, it’s likely that all ergot did was provide a catalyst for an already volatile situation. There were no witches after all—but perhaps the trials are all the more terrifying because they weren’t the product of supernatural evil, but instead of ordinary human evil.
