Amped
Currently I am feeling amped, intelligent and restless. Whenever I get these moods I find it diligent to use it actively.
So....
What puts you in your amped mood. Is it exercise? Is it women (or men, take your pick)? Is it apples? Is it anything more than a simple dietary supplement?
Me: Berocca, starvation, random mood swings and reading any Battle Angel Alita or Jing, King of Bandits usually does it to me. If not, Frank Herbert, a walk by the sea from a library and a small amount of hunger puts me in a poetic/philosophical moment. How long does this moment last?
1...
2...
2...
2/3..
3...
Aaaaand that's exactly a moment.
Discuss.

Sex, music, friends, and nights that involve all three  Also, reading something particularly inspiring or human-true. Writing something I am actually proud of as opposed to the drivel I usually scrawl out. Being well rested. Depending on the quality of the abovementioned, I can be amped for days on end...
Starvation? Really Corpsey? That has the opposite effect on me: I feel dull and sluggish and all I can think about is getting myself fed.

I spend most of my life in the grey. Not low enough to be the "tortured artist" type. Not high enough to have much drive.
I rarely get "amped" but when I do, it's usually because I've been inspired by a piece or art, writing or music.
And it generally happens when I don't have time to do anything about it.

Certain types of music can do it, and the presence of other people. Often, when I'm with a lot of people, I turn into a one-woman show, entertaining everyone, and often hurting some feelings by mistake.

I dunno. It happens at just seemingly random times. But when I do get amped, I often throw the jokes around with my friends, and I'm known as the group clown. Other times I just like to drive, or sex, and maybe writing some erotic stories. That gets my blood pumping.

Music, friends, sex (if I ever do get any), writing, playing bass, practicing with my band, playing pool.

Starvation of the belly feeds my brain. There is something about hunger that drives me into a frenzy when I throw movement on top of it- spinning like one point in the galaxy, spinning like becoming one nebulous mass.
and when i have to eat, it tanks me onto earth

I get amped either when my art is going well, or when I discover that my perception of someone hating me was all in my head.
It's a little sad how much my art dictates my moods...

Either being inspired by art/music or meditation on a cold day. But usually I feel in a gray area.
