Pain and Persh

 

This video troubles me. I made it in 2014 in an attempt to quit using oxycodone. I thought by making this "vacation piece" in Northern Quebec, the nightmare would enter closure. When I watch it now I only see the ramblings of a drug addict, for better or worse. What troubles me most is the use of humor, which I now believe I was using as a device to block out the seriousness of my addiction. Classic sad clown. The video features an LSD trip, geese drinking water, forest masturbation and a cool-blue-lit Jacuzzi. It's worth a watch.
