The Cannabis Cup, Andalucia Style

Its been a while hasnt it. the reason i havnt written in a while is because i didnt have anything to write about during the last couple weeks. i guess thats not wholly true, but i there was nothing that i felt compelled to write about, until now. during those two weeks i was working almost everyday during the morning at my moms friends house, i think i mentioned it. i came home and played soccer during the afternoons. needless to say i was pretty worn out and not doing many 'noteworthy things'. but the good news is that i made a few hundred bucks to keep me from depleting my travel fund, i got some good exercise and i shook up my routine a little. in that time i only read two book and i didnt feel as though i could really write about them, they didnt stimulate my oratory. but i think there is going to be a burst soon because some exiting things have happened, some more are projected, and im reading a book that has got by mind banging on all cylinders. man i feel a little rusty writing right now, i guess my fingers are a little atrofied.
sorry for the pointless introduction

so anyway, the chase that im cutting to: as you all know i have been 'interning' at my mothers friends house, helping her out with this years cannabis crop. as i told you, she is or was the president of the local cannabis cultivation and consumption association known as ARSECA (arseca.org). this past weekend december 1,2,3, was their annual harvest festival and competition (i didnt write until know because it has taken me a while to clear my mind). so i was asked to help out with the collection of samples, and being relatively computer proficient i was responsible for cataloguing all the samples and then tabulating the scores. i should note that my recollection is a bit hazy from all the sampling, but in general i remember everything. i arrived friday night and got right to work designing the score cards and such, and as the first samples started rolling in, i couldnt help but get exited, i mean it was REDICULOUS. i think that many of you readers may not necessarily be cannabis enthusists, but for those of you that are, this was the stoners paridise. i mean im from NY of whatever and there is supposed to be good weed there, but of the 35 total samples, at least 30 were way better than any weed i have seen in nyack, NY, or ithaca, including all the hazes, shmaizes, diesels, weasels, and everything in between. the real festivities started on saturday, although until like 6 we were just sorting out all the samples and dividing them up into anonymous samples. honestly i was way out of my league, i mean, i started smoking 3 days before in order to build up some tolerance, but i didnt stand a chance, i was knocked the fuck out in no time. that night a famous singer called Amparanoia came to perform. it was pretty sick from what i remember, i spent the second half of the concert passed out upstairs. the problem was that this dude made these brownies that were frieking delicious, but didnt hold a match the the cannacarrot cake he made. i mean i tried to restrain myself because with the munchies i had i knew that if i didnt i was going to OD. in fact im still fiending for some carrot cake to this day to satisfy the craving i had to subdue. despite my restraint i think i still ate a little to much, and long story short, i woke up sunday morning in the front seat of my car in quite a daze. it was awesome. haha. since i passed out relatively early i woke up at 8 am, and the club was closed, having nothing to do i spent the morning sitting in any sunny spot i could find, its pretty cold around here these days, but it is divine if ur in the sun. i was able to find some breakfast and i just chilled till about 1 when people started showing up. sudnay was more of the same, the winners were awarded, and the remaining samples were handed out, of which i took home at least a dozen, in case anyone wants to come try them out. i am happy to say that i made it home safe and sound sunday night, despite being more than legally high.

the place where all of this took place is really kool. it is basically a private bar, mostly for memebers, where you can go and drink not overpriced beer, and smoke a joint in a social atmosphere. i think that we need places like this all over. yea right, who doesnt. but seriously, people shouldnt have to hide in fear because they smoke weed, and there should be a place in any major city where they can gather.
thats all for now,
good to be back, and theres more coming
peace
