Sorry for misunderstanding your interest in serious music.
I did call my ex-con friend and asked again. If it is of interest, he said all Korean cons who go by the name 브바 play a mean flute. 리뢰s love to pound the skins. Maybe you can get a jam session going with one or both of them. |
Yeah, I guess I could. But truthfully I'm a one-man-band by nature and I think I'll stick to my independent roots god forbid I end up playing the banjo in the Korean pokey. Which, incidentally, is where inspiration for many country & western songs often originate as we all know.
So, I'm thinking of composing a whole Banjo original album if I find myself in the Korean pokey.
Songs like, They Took my Doggie and Threw Away the Key, I'm Soju Sad, and Where's my K Girl Now?. |

If you must know, it's just a benzo (a valium family drug) that I use occasionaly for sleeping and for international travel.
But it's a class "whatever" drug in the states and doctors don't want to perscribe it because of the DEA forms and all. And it's about $70.00 there for 60 tabs 2 mg, and I just picked up 180 1 mg tabs here for $19.00 US.
Loriazapam (brand name Ativan). |
Ahh, just a benzo eh? You know what it is used for? Are you sure you arent using it for more than "sleeping."

I checked again with my friend Min-Suk who said he talked with his friends Yoo-Suk and Suk-Mi who have more experience in this area. They said this could be a problem in the proposed pokey scenario, but maybe it could be overcome by singing a chorus of "I Choke My Chicken But 닭가비 Wantin' to Choke It, Too" (it was quite a hit for Yon-sama), or if that is not in your banjo repertoire, maybe the full 3-part harmony version of "Keep Your Hands and Other Parts of Your Anatomy to Yourself".
From another post, I gather that you are going to a big party in Key West. Perhaps you can pick up the finger-pickin' version of the Queen classic 'The Pillow Biter's Serenade'. I hear that is big in that part of the country. Perhaps CubanLord, who comes from that part of the country is more up-to-date on that than I am.
If you do make a bango album about your (possible) time in the pokey, don't forget the ever popular: Back In the Saddle Again. |

Dr. Ski,
Thank you for your concern. I know a great deal about this drug. I actually did a research paper on the history of tranquilizers in a Medical Anthropology class tittled: Minor Tranquilizers: A Brief History
Twentieth Century to Present .
And yes, I might just take a half milligram during a stressful day. So sue me.
It was interesting to study the dramatic switch from barbiturates to the new, then thought-of, "wonder drugs'" of the early sixties--that soon was to be Valium. Later, we found out the addictive properties of these types of drugs.
I DO NOT advocate trying these drugs whatsoever unless prescribed by reputable medical doctor. I have a prescription.
Interestingly, during my research I came across these advertisements for Valium, the first one is from 1965, the second 1981.

a bango album? Is that a Freudian slip? There will be no bango music, no matter how romantic, going on in my pokey cell, not that there's anyting wrong with it mind you. |

There are laws some places (Florida for example) that don't allow you to go from one doctor to another with the same story in order to obtain large amounts of a drug. Usually, someone breaking this law is a big fat idiot (I hope you get the allusion), or someone who is sadly addicted to pain pills, etc.

Hmm, interesting.

180 tabs? Hmm, that should last a while

So, 180 1 mg tabs, you take 1/2 milligram "on a stressful day"
If you took one every day 360 days.

I always found it funny working in the psychiatric ward of the hospital when patients seemed to make up symptoms when seeing a doctor in order to get whatever they wanted. Sadly the doctors usually gave them what they wanted to shut them up.
Ativan is also quite addictive, hence the reason, I am sure they dont like prescribing it to "average joe."

Maybe you are doing a bit too much for science and your knowledge of such. Should we inquire into getting you into a 10 step program?? |

Yes, a half a milligram is all I would take during the day and on a very rare basis.
And as for as stocking up on 180 1 mg tabs, have you ever heard of Costco. Why shouldn't I?
I like to have it around when an occasional bout of insomnia comes on or when I want to sleep on a long flight.
And yes, this amount will last a very long time.
Why I'm justifying this to you (someone who thinks they know best for a stranger based on a few comments and statements), I don't know; I guess I'm bored.
I thought we were having a friendly conversation and now you want me to join a cult. What's their motto--One drink at a time? No thanks. I know your cult calls it denial, but call it what you will, I�ll order two drinks at a time if I damn well please. |

You know what they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step. Hope that realization kicks in sooner rather than later  |

Likewise, I hope someday you see that being blindly judgmental is not very attractive. You will be a stronger person when your realize this. |
