Extracts from the Diary of Alan Watts

16th May 1965: Myself, Allen Ginsberg and Tim Leary have been trekking through the Amazon rainforest in search of the sahatasca, a perhaps legendary form of ayahuasca which enables a man to levitate and see through dimensions. Leary and Ginsberg have been tripping absolute balls since we got here, which they believe will help in our search, as if the sahatasca had a mind of its own and could sense its people. We stopped for the night under a large tree. My two friends refused to lie on the floor because they thought it was full of moving snakes. On this occasion, they were correct, but none of these snakes are dangerous.

17th May 1965:

One of the guides died last night after being bitten by one of the snakes. The other guide appears to be fluent in every language except English. He can expertly translate from one tribal language to another which is not much use to us. Leary is still tripping balls and insists he understands what the guide is saying but that I am speaking Chinese.

18th May 1965:

Ginsberg disappeared in the night. He left a note in Portuguese which I was able to translate using my high school Spanish. He claims that he got a psychic message from Bob Dylan and had to go on tour with him immediately. I have no idea how he will find his way out of the dense jungle or if he does, how to make his way from rural Brazil to Los Angeles without his passport, which he jammed into a coconut before leaving.

19th May 1965:

Ginsberg has returned. He keeps calling Leary “Bob” and insists that he entertain us all with a few songs. Leary was also tripping balls and would only sing as Joan Baez. This caused mass confusion which caused Ginsberg to pass out and our guide to apply a cloth gag to Leary’s face until he calmed down.

20th May 1965:

Our guide went missing for a few hours leaving me with an unconscious Ginsberg and a chemically sedated Leary. Our guide had to use enough chloroform to, in his words, “knock out a whale” to keep Leary down and even now he keeps twitching. I asked our one remaining guide how exactly he would have set about choloroforming a whale, to which he said it would be a piece of cake after wrestling Leary in the rainforest mud for twenty minutes. I don’t remember it being that long but I was occupied by a mushroom I found on a tree which turned out to be some sort of lizard.

21st May 1995:

I have travelled thirty years into the future. All drug have been legalised. As a result, there are no wars or crime of any kind. I will admit that there was something of a dip in productivity but there are only one billion people on the planet now as we are far more sensible about breeding. Leary has been completely forgotten but there is a huge statue of Allen Ginsberg in what used to be Times Square. He would have loved it.

22nd May 19,995:

Quatzo atcl derrr beep beep in smersh bod. Ment furgy smool alla party. Ohn smeft Tim Leary gurge Ginsberg haft larnack.

26th May 1965:

I have woken up in Dudley Road Hospital in Birmingham. It’s taken some time with a team of professional psychologists but I now understand that myself and Tim Leary were wandering around a local supermarket car park for three weeks under the impression that we were in Brazil.

Although both Leary and Ginsberg in separate phone calls have tried to convince me that I have invented it, the search for sahatasca continues.

Shannon LeVangie & Stevie G - Retro World Expo - 11/6/2021 Two prospects return to do battle in Blitzkrieg’s return to Westfield as local sensation Big Juicy takes on Buffalo blue chipper Haley Dylan. Juicy will find herself with both the home field advantage and the Blitzkrieg experience advantage, but one cannot count out the Grapplers Anonymous pedigree of Haley Dylan.

Ichiban - Ashley Vox Beer Bash - 8/14/2022 Ryan Mooney Last 1: Leary d. Angelo Carter, Ryan Mooney, and King Crab - Look My Way - 5/7/2022 A late stage twist like only B!P can offer. Ichiban and Ryan Mooney clash at Friday’s GRIND event in singles action, and have an invitation to bring 2 friends apiece to up the ante in trios warfare. Both Mooney and Ichiban have plenty of allies to choose from across the northeast corridor, and nobody will know the true complexion of this match until all partners are introduced. Which battler holds the better hand?! CPA vs. King Crab vs. 50 Cal vs. Delightful Dan The God Damn Candy Man CPA Last 3: Matt Tremont d. CPA - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 VSK d. CPA - Mercy Me - 11/19/2022 Team Limitless (Anthony Greene, Jay Lyon, Midas Black, Nolo Kitano & Rip Byson) d.

ABBS, Diego El Trabajador, and Stephen Azure - LimitBlitz 2 Showcase - 10/8/2022 Delightful Dan The God Damn Candy Man d. Devantes - Retro World Expo - 8/28/2022 4 combatants on the rebound have a chance to take the next step up in a frenetic four way frenzy. All 4 are veterans of some form of the Blitzkrieg multiperson match atmosphere, King Crab and 50 Cal in the first and second Ladder Hell, Delightful Dan in multiple B!P scrambles, and CPA the winner of the last Mother Of All Scrambles. In a match where every movement and moment matters, who leaves the bedlam with head held high and a step closer to #1 contender?! Dante Drago vs. Bobby Orlando Dante Last 3: Dante Drago d. Ichiban, Perry Von Vicious, and TJ Crawford - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 Dante Drago d. Jojo Collins - LimitBlitz 2 Night 2 - 10/8/2022 Rip Byson d.

Team Blitzkrieg (Bobby Orlando, Bryce Donovan, CPA, Travis Huckabee & VSK) - LimitBlitz 2 Night 2 - 10/8/2022 Dante Drago captured the #1 contender’s spot at Always The Hard Way, and his final stop before challenging the winner of tonight’s Bedlam championship match is the longest reigning Bedlam champion of all-time in Bobby Orlando. No shortage of familiarity here as both are products of Create-A-Pro, and both are very aware of what the other is capable of. Both compete at a very high level and are very gifted with stringing together offense. Will Dante pick up more steam on his road to the title match, or will Bobby Orlando potentially notch a future Bedlam championship bout of his own by knocking off the #1 contender?! 35mm (JGeorge & Angelo Carter) vs. Team TNT (Terrell & Terrence Hughes) w/ D-Von Dudley 35mm Last 3: Angelo Carter & JGeorge d. Bobby Orlando & Bryce Donovan - Mercy Me - 11/19/2022 BRG, 50 Cal, and Dan Barry d. Aaron Rourke, Angelo Carter & JGeorge - LimitBlitz 2 Night 2 - 10/8/2022 Logan Black d. Angelo Carter - Retro World Expo - 8/27/2022

Team TNT come to B!P from the tutelage of their legendary father D-Von Dudley, so even at the prospect stage of their wrestling careers, both have been well-schooled in the ways of tag team wrestling by one of the best tag wrestlers ever. Angelo Carter & JGeorge recently notched a tainted upset victory over the Shook Crew, but with a Hall of Famer watching the backs of their opponents, will the corner-cutting playbook of JGeorge & Carter be enough to avoid the spellcasting of the Wizards of the Wicked Wood?! Leary vs. Gangrel Leary Last 3: Leary d. Dr. Redacted - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 Beer Team (Leary, 50 Cal, Dan Barry, and Troy Nelson) d. XTeamX (Perry Von Vicious, Juba, Kennedi Copeland, and Logan Black) - Ashley Vox Beer Bash - 8/14/2022 The Haven d. Leary & Perry Von Vicious - 4th Annual Luau - 6/24/2022 Gangrel Last 1: Jonny Idol, Marshall McNeil, and Gangrel d. Mark Sterling, Sidney Bakabella and Troy Nelson - Them vs. Us - 8/27/2016 Dreams come true in Blitzkrieg! Pro. The captain of the S.S. B!P emerged from a bloodbath with Dr. Redacted victorious, but now may have a different bloodbath waiting in the wings in the form of the legendary vampire warrior Gangrel. Of the list of dream singles opponents for Leary, Gangrel sits at the top. Will Leary be able to score the biggest victory of his career in front of his hometown faithful, or will the wit and grit of Gangrel turn this dream into a nightmare?! Kevin Blackwood vs. TJ Crawford Kevin Last 1: The Batiri d. Harlow O’Hara & Kevin Blackwood - LimitBlitz 1 - 12/1/2018 TJC Last 3: Dante Drago d. Ichiban, Perry Von Vicious, and TJ Crawford - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 Anthony Greene d. TJ Crawford - Mercy Me - 11/19/2022 TJ Crawford d. Alec Price - Eat The Meek - 9/18/2021 A striking enthusiast dream battle for certain as two of the best kickboxers in all of pro wrestling will bring the thunder to the Blitzkrieg ring. Blackwood has been turning heads on both coasts, battle-tested against some of the best in the world, while TJ has not wasted any time since the return from injury, taking AG to his limit in November. A victory for TJ is a step towards the Bedlam championship, while a victory for Blackwood means more opportunities in B!P and a shot up the ranks. In a potential fight of the night, which combat artist leaves Westfield in victory?! Allie Katch vs. Andy Brown (B!P Bedlam Champion) Allie Last 3: BUSSY d. Anthony Greene & AVA - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 MSP d. BUSSY - Mercy Me - 11/19/2022 Bobby Orlando d. Allie Katch - 4th Annual Luau - 6/24/2022 Andy Last 3: Andy Brown d. VSK - Always The Hard Way - 12/30/2022 (Blitzkrieg Bedlam Championship) Andy Brown d. Travis Huckabee - Mercy Me - 11/19/2022 (#1 Contender) Andy Brown d. Brad Cashew - LimitBlitz 2 Night 2 - 10/8/2022 What a road to get here since Andy Brown’s debut last May at Look My Way against Brad Hollister. Andy now rides a 3 match win streak going into his first Bedlam defense. Allie Katch finds herself in the position of first challenger off of her huge victory alongside EFFY at Wrestival and multiple spirited showings throughout her time in B!P. After stages of reinvention from both champion and contender, will Allie Katch be the one to stop the onslaught and Bedlam reign of Andy Brown?!

Andrew Koji in Warrior (2019) The Itchy Onion

San Francisco, 1878. Ah Sahm, a newly arrived Chinese immigrant with serious fighting skills, is introduced to Chinatown's most ruthless tong, the Hop Wei, by Chao, a fixer. After impressing Young Jun, son of tong leader Father Jun, Ah Sahm is branded and taken to a brothel, where he befriends Ah Toy, a courtesan with connections. Later, in search of a woman who left China two years earlier, Ah Sahm crosses paths with Mai Ling and Li Yong, followers of the rival tong leader Long Zii, who is trying to avoid an opium war with the Hop Wei, a war that Walter Buckley, deputy to San Francisco Mayor Samuel Blake, actively promotes. Meanwhile, after two Chinese laborers are killed by white thugs, police sergeant "Big Bill" O'Hara is tasked with creating a Chinatown squad. Enlisting southern-born cop Richard Henry Lee, Bill soon finds that the hostility between the Chinese and white dock workers, whose unofficial leader is Irish tough Dylan Leary, is unlikely to end anytime soon.

“But what is sane? Especially here in "our own country" - in this doomstruck era of Nixon. We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the Sixties. Uppers are going out of style. This was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him too seriously. After West Point and the Priesthood, LSD must have seemed entirely logical to him . . . but there is not much satisfaction in knowing that he blew it very badly for himself, because he took too many others down with him.

Not that they didn't deserve it: No doubt they all Got What Was Coming To Them. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create . . . a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody - or at least some force - is tending that Light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the same cruel and paradoxically benevolent bullshit that has kept the Catholic Church going for so many centuries. It is also the military ethic . . . a blind faith in some higher and wiser "authority." The Pope, The General, The Prime Minister . . . all the way up to "God."

One of the crucial moments of the Sixties came on that day when the Beatles cast their lot with the Maharishi. It was like Dylan going to the Vatican to kiss the Pope's ring.

First "gurus." Then, when that didn't work, back to Jesus. And now, following Manson's primitive/instinct lead, a whole new wave of clan-type commune Gods like Mel Lyman, ruler of Avatar, and What's His Name who runs "Spirit and Flesh."

Sonny Barger never quite got the hang of it, but he'll never know how close he was to a king-hell breakthrough. The Angels blew it in 1965, at the Oakland-Berkeley line, when they acted on Barger's hardhat, con-boss instincts and attacked the front ranks of an anti-war march. This proved to be an historic schism in the then Rising Tide of the Youth Movement of the Sixties. It was the first open break between the Greasers and the Longhairs, and the importance of that break can be read in the history of SDS, which eventually destroyed itself in the doomed effort to reconcile the interests of the lower/working class biker/dropout types and the upper/mid-dle, Berkeley/student activists.

Nobody involved in that scene, at the time, could possibly have foreseen the Implications of the Ginsberg/Kesey failure to persuade the Hell's Angels to join forces with the radical Left from Berkeley. The final split came at Altamont, four years later, but by that time it had long been clear to everybody except a handful of rock industry dopers and the national press. The orgy of violence at Altamont merely dramatized the problem. The realities were already fixed; the illness was understood to be terminal, and the energies of The Movement were long since aggressively dissipated by the rush to self-preservation.

Ah; this terrible gibberish. Grim memories and bad flash-backs, looming up through the time/fog of Stanyan Street . . . no solace for refugees, no point in looking back. The question, as always, is now . . .?”

The Blossom surrounded by Fire - Ch. 17 (Warrior AU- HBO MAX)

I slowly sat down in the chair across from the large man. All the while, I could hear the shouting from people outside. I glanced at the window to make sure none of the trouble came close to this hellish bar.

“It’s hotter than Satan’s arse outside. Why you got that thing on?” Dylan asks suspiciously, as he takes a drink of something, alcohol I imagine. I looked at him for only a second before looking down with mild insecurity.

“I… have a deformity. I don’t want to make no one uncomfortable.” I said lightly. He tilted his head some as he observed the hood on my head. Maybe he was trying to get a look at what’s underneath.

“A deformity. That’s quite a big word.” he says taking another drink. Yes, for those who don’t know much. I didn’t reply, but I knew it wasn’t smart to remain quiet.

“I hear people use it when they look at my ears.” I said speaking to the table.

“Amaka… eyes up here.” he said firmly, and I tensed at his words, but I looked up at him, nonetheless. It was like I was some child. I looked up at his dark blue eyes. I’ve seen men with his eyes. I’ve seen them when my master would invite them over to look at his “creations”, to look at the slaves he mutilated under the sake science. “Show me.”

And I couldn’t deny him his request. So, I slowly pulled the hood off my head and his eyes flexed a bit as they moved to look at either side of my head. The man at the bar leaned forward with wide eyes.

“Sweet Jesus.” he whispered. I continued to look at Dylan with submissive eyes.

“Do others of your family have them?” he asked. I shook my head.

“No.” I replied. He just nodded slowly before looking down at the table, the expression in his eyes changing.

“So, you’re supposed to convince me to not beat O’Hara’s face in. Let’s start with that. Why do you think he was stupid enough to leave you, a colored girl, here in an Irish bar?” he asked. How the hell should I know. I stumbled over my words for a bit.

“Maybe he thought I’d be safe here. Maybe he’s friends with the owner and trusts him not to hurt me.” I said looking from the table to his face and then down again. I heard the man snort.

“That pig and I aren’t friends, the only thing we got in common is we’re Irish.” he said leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms. I wasn’t surprised this was his bar. I looked around from the ceiling to the floor.

“Maybe he thought you wouldn’t see my face and immediately spit at me or try and beat me.” I replied. He squinted some.

“I may not like the lot of you, but I ain’t gonna go around beatin’ on helpess women even if they’re negresses.” he said. I looked at his chest a bit.

“What do you have against me?” I asked soft toned, to ensure he knew I wasn’t trying to insinuate anything. His eyes seemed to fill with energy at my question.

“It’s the lot of you, taking good honest work from me and my boys and their families.” he said leaning forward. “I fought to free slaves- to free you, and instead of going back to Africa, you stayed here. You came north and took our fucking jobs. And now the Chinese are coming in by the boat load. The Irishman suffers because the rich man, whose fucking war I fought, doesn’t want to pay us a fair day wage.”

I could hear the passion in his voice mixed with anger and hatred, the usual and lethal combination in whites here. I just looked down for a moment taking in his words. I’ve heard men shouting this rhetoric before in the streets, but I’ve never been this close to one before.

“Well… all I can really say is thank you for fighting for my freedom Mr. Leary. There are many in the south who do not know they are free.” I replied softly. He grunted and just shook his head.

“So now that you’re free, why didn’t you go back to Africa?” he asked. I looked up in thought for a moment before looking back at him.

“Could I go to a white captain, as a colored woman with no money, no rights or titles to anything, could I go to a captain and politely ask him to take me back to Africa a place I do not know, a land that was stripped from my identity? Would he happily oblige me, or would he laugh in my face and try and kidnap me and sell me back into slavery, where men that look like you can do this to me, because I’m only property in the eyes of those of this land?” I asked, my tone shaky, pointing to my ears. I had let it slip. I had shown that I wasn’t just some mindless negress, but one of intelligence. Dylan’s frown only grew, and I could tell on his face he wasn’t happy at how uppity I was suddenly talking. I felt the dangerous air around me grow thick. The door of the bar opened, and I immediately covered my head once more and saw that it was Officer O’Hara. Oh, thank god. I immediately got up and moved up to him.

I could hear Dylan’s large feet on the ground behind me so immediately I moved to stand behind the cop.

“I’m back. We’ll be off now. Mr. Leary, I thank you for being a good host and watching Amaka while I handled some business.” he said. Dylan looked at the man with a frown still on his sharp features.

“I expect payment for this as soon as you’re off duty, officer.” he said firmly. I just looked down and remained quiet. Officer O’Hara nodded with a heavy sigh.

“Of course. Come.” Was all he said before leaving the bar. Once outside I looked at the officer noticing he had a busted lip. I winced ignoring the glance from Dylan staring at us from the window.

“You’re hurt. I can help.” I replied, but he quickly shook his head.

“Let’s just get you back to Chinatown.” he replied. I nodded and we began our walk back. We said nothing as the sea of white faces yet again shifted yellow and I was back in Chinatown. We stopped at the steps of the brothel, and I looked at the officer nodding.

“Thank you, Officer O’Hara.” I replied before reaching into my dress pocket and pulling out a small sack of herbs. I held it up to him. “If you grind this up and put it against your mouth it’ll stop the swelling.”

The officer looked at the bag skeptically but slowly took it.

“Right, uh thank you.” he replied before just turning and heading on his way. Once he was out of sight, the doors of the brothel opened and I saw another white face, prompting me to look away toward the ground.

“You’ve returned safe and sound. Do not be shy.” I hear Ah Toy’s voice making me look up at her. She was beside the yellowed haired woman in green who looked at me taken a back, yet still smiled. I only nodded.

“Yes. The client was happy to get the medicine.” I replied to Ah Toy who nodded with a smile on her face. She looked at the woman.

“This is a kind soul of Chinatown, a woman very knowledgeable in medicine, Amaka. Amaka this is Nellie Davenport, a very strong-willed businesswoman who does charity work in helping Chinese prostitutes.” she introduced. I looked between the women now. That must be bad for Ah Toy’s business right. Nellie smiled and nodded.

“Hello Amaka, that’s a beautiful name.” she replied, her voice trailing off as I removed my hood. Her eyes widened and she gasped gently. I only smiled.

“Hello Nellie. It is nice to meet you.” I replied. In Chinatown, I didn’t feel the need to water down who I was, because I felt secure here. This woman is was in our world and here she would stand equal to me.

“Y-your ears…” she exclaimed. I nodded.

“The result of the horrors I experienced at the hand my past master when I was a slave.” I replied. Now both women looked at me as if mildly horrified. At first I wondered if I should have said that, then I remembered that’s what this country fought for, my freedom. Most coloreds here had a history of slavery. I just had to make sure no one tried to enslave me again. Nellie shook her head.

“Slavery… a horrid atrocity. No human should be owned by another. My late husband had other opinions on the subject, but thank God he is dead. I am glad you survived your past, Amaka.” she said. I couldn’t hide the skepticism at her tone, and she saw it and nodded. “I know it means nothing come from me, a woman of high privilege but in the end all men look at us and still see women who don’t know a thing about the world.”

I looked a bit intrigued by her words and Ah Toy nodded.

“Which is why it is up to us women to show them just exactly how dangerous we are so they will never underestimate us again.”

Her tone was humorous, but I could hear something deeper behind it. Nellie chuckled and I just smiled as she looked at me.

“A pleasure to meet you Amaka, I hope we can talk again.” she said. I nodded.

“Yes ma’am.” I replied and she nodded before looking at Ah Toy.

“I will be stopping by again soon.” she said, and the brothel owner nodded.

“And I will be here to greet you.” she replied. The woman left down the street and I just looked at Ah Toy. “Did you run into any trouble?”

I looked down and shook my head.

“No. Your client was thankful for the medicine.” I replied, reaching into my pockets to hand her the envelope the man had given me. She nodded taking hold of it and looking it over before looking at me.

“Good. Thank you for this. I won’t ask you to do something like this ever again.” she replied. I nodded.

“It felt nice to walk in the open without having to follow behind someone.” I said lightly before looking down and then up at her with a smile and a nod before turning from her.

“Amaka.” she called out and I turned to look at her curiously. She looked a bit saddened. “How long were you a slave?” I looked at her for a brief moment before looking up thinking of the memories of my past before looking at her.

“Since I was born.” I replied. She looked at with a light gaze before bowing her head at me. I smiled and returned it before heading back to Chao’s shop. He was putting some weapons away when he saw me.

“Hey how’d it go?” he asked approaching me. I nodded.

“Fine, all fine.” I replied and he nodded looking down with relief before looking up at me.

“I’m glad. But now we have business with the Hop Wei.” he replied. That’s right. I was to speak to Father Jun.

“Yes, we do.” I replied. After freshening up, Chao and I were walking through town until we were in familiar Hop Wei territory. Just like walking into that Irish bar, I was now walking into a tong’s house. Both places are dangerous, and I had to remember that just like Dylan Leary this Father Jun was a man like all the rest who would see me as less than if not because of my race then because of my gender. We stopped at the doors of the large building where men in red and black were standing there with pride on their faces. Chao mentioned having business with Father Jun made them pat us down. I was in a faded green dress with my head down letting them search us for weapons.

These men, I was familiar with. I’ve treated them or a member of their families that was for sure. They let us through, and we moved inside. The halls were quiet, but the rooms we passed were filled with men doing different things from talking, to drinking and eating, to sparing on large mats.

“Ah Chao, Amaka so glad of you to join us!” I heard the familiar voice of…

“Young Jun.” Chao replied, and we both bowed. Young Jun smirked at me.

“Glad to finally have you in my home. Can’t wait for you to join our tong.” he replied. Walking up behind him was Ah Sahm, and Bolo. I grinned.

“That is up to your father, but I still have to make that decision.” I replied. The young Hop Wei nodded.

“Fair enough.” he said before patting Chao’s back and moving to lead the walk down the hall. I avoided looking at Bolo and instead looked at Ah Sahm and smiled as the three of us followed.

“Ah Sahm, I am glad you are out of prison safe.” I replied. Ah Sahm smiled some.

“Thank you. I hope to never get arrested again. It’s not as fun as everyone says.” he replied. I chuckled and nodded.

“Really and here I thought it was the one place to make friends.” I said with a grin. Bolo simply stuck close to Young Jun. I guess we were both invisible to each other now. I would respect his wishes if that’s how he wanted to act when around me. We entered a large room where an elder man sat at large long table. It was polished and well decorated. Beside him on either side were other old men, but from the firm look in his one good eye, I knew he was Father Jun.

So I'm on season 2 episode 1 and may I just say I am HERE for Mai Ling being a bad bitch while Li Yong is the guard dog. Mmm bark bark I am loving this. I like how Penelope finally has some ground to stand on. She tried a lot to assert herself in season 1 but it always felt hollow. Now she is getting her father's business and I hope she pulls it off!

And idk also maybe try the boohoo dylan leary lost his wife and kids BEFORE I watched him let his men beat up the Chinese workers! They broke their hands! Quite rude in my opinion, but at least it got Ah sahm back in the game
