Rave Nights and Techno Beats

I went to game club today after hours grueling over the homework. I saw my new Columbia friends there, and enjoyed spending time with them. They asked me if I wanted to go to a rave. I said, "what the hell...might as well." I had never been to a rave before or the House of Blues. DeadMaus was playing there. Highlight of the night was the remix of Knights of Cydonia by Muse and Harder, Better, Faster Stronger by Daft Punk combined to make this crazy ass techno song. It was fucking nuts. I felt the bass enter my whole body and sweaty bodies surrounded me from every side, and I felt apart of something wonderful. Something that connected me to everyone in that damn room. All the E tripping, drunk, crack sniffing motherfuckers in that room. We all felt infinite. At one point, I felt like I was about to pass out, and that's when I decided I must leave.

The group of us got back at one in the morning. It's good we live downtown because it only took us like fifteen minutes to get back. Here I am tired as fuck, and I'm blogging. ::Sigh:: One thing I've learned about myself is that I have a great deal of self control, and I was on a natural high. I'm too damn responsible for my own good, but I let loose by dancing, and it felt great. Walking back from the rave, we walked over the Chicago bridge and the tall skyscrapers outlined the river. And I thought, for once, I can stay out as late as I want and not have to worry about being somewhere really fast. I could be outside all night if I wanted to, and the fact that I could made me feel good. In the end, hours of dancing wore me out, and I went home dutifully and drug substance free.

I am free from it all.
