The HigheR State of Consciousness.

In the world of Ministry of Sound where people delve in a state of "higher consciousness".

I haven't felt this way in a long while. The "lose yourself" kind of feeling. Completely enjoying the music and just feeling free. Perhaps it's coz I haven't had 3 drinks in approx. 2 hrs, starting with a shot, in quite a while.

We always talk about getting all hyped up for partying.
But typing this now, I see the irony - If we are already going to party, why do we still need to get ourselves hyped up for it?

Perhaps then we are going for reasons other than fun (well, of course each person has a different definition of 'fun' but here, i'm referring to partying fun).
And so comes the question of why people go clubbing.
1. To meet new people.
2. To put themselves out there and be part of that HIP group.
3. Others

It is no doubt a place to get to know people. But somehow, deep inside, we all know that these people we get to know, will 8 out of 10 times, be only acquaintances.

Next comes the poseurs, which I do not doubt is in a way in most of us. The yuppie group. We are yuppies, like it or not. The lifestyle. The way we talk. The want to be a part of the 'in' crowd. The need to feel accepted by society (read: peer pressure).

The Others is really a whole host of reasons I'm not too keen to trouble my thoughts with.

Considering the 1st 2 reasons I have stated, is clubbing truly a higher state of consciousness or is it actually a state of in which we are even more conscious of ourselves than we normally are?

N'mind. This is all gibberish.
