 		woohoo, i got a mention in mike's blog! http://surryinvestigations.blogspot.com/
my real name is nicholas Razz

i emailed him this
Quote:
Hello there,
My friends and I have been working on the 'cure' for your 'sickness'. We understand that it wont be easy for u to collect everything yourself, so we have decided that we can help you greatly here. We are all banding together, to get you what you need to do the ritual. Myself, I am going to get the candle freshly blown out by a woman, because i'm married and my wife loves candles. What we need to know is, where can we upload these videos for you that will be a comprehensive area? Someplace we can all easily access and you can have everything we can get you at your disposal.

We are here to help, and are working as fast as we can to help you
-Vecheeso

and he emailed back
Quote:
Nicholas,

Thank you so much for your offer to help. It is very humbling that there are people out there willing to help somebody the way you are. I have spent so much time dealing with monsters who try to ruin the lives of children and trying to prevent them from doing such that I often forget about the kindness of strangers. I commented on your message in my most recent blog, which I'm not sure you know the location of - follow the link to my blog from http://surryinvestigations.com

Again thank you and remember to surf safe,
Mikey Surry


and here is surry's blog

So I have learned that there is some sort of ritual that may help make these nightmares go away. It sounds a little out there to think that stuff like this might actually work, but if it will stop the hallucinations and dreams like I had last night I will do whatever I can.

I need to collect some items and I'm not sure how to go about getting many of them. I assume that the Nicholas who e-mailed me is one of Michael's friends. I think we can try your approach of using video or pictures for the items. Just send me the link if you post it on any of the social video sites.

Here is the list of items I will need:

A candle lit once and then snuffed out by a woman
A black feather held by a man
A pebble held by a boy
A vial of sand or a shell gathered from a body of water by a girl
A red string knotted nine times by a mother in the morning
A clipping from a sapling tree gathered at noon
A rose in bloom plucked at twilight
A piece of bark from an oak, gathered at night
A spray of pine (what is a spray of pine?)

If we do this with video I'll need someone in the south to have the candle, and I will try to arrange a time with you to light it as I do the ritual. Somebody will need to have the feather in the east and have it pointing east. Another person will have to have a pebble which I assume was once held by a boy somewhere to the west, I wish my ex-wife would let me see my son for this. In the north I will need someone to have the sand or a shell. I'll try to arrange with all of these individuals when to have the items ready.

I'm going to have to have a chant as well, but it says I need some other people to chant with me. I don't know how I can best do this, any suggestions?

Psyche, guardian of souls, hear me.
These offerings of life are laid before you.
Life paired with death;
youth to age;
child to mother;
male to female;
light to dark.
Fire, water, earth, and air, consecrated to you.
Bless me. Bless me. Bless me.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.
Restore my soul, my wholeness, my oneness.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.
Restore my balance. Heal my mind.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.

I'll print off pictures of the items, taken from the videos, which will be on the altar and crush them together. I hope this works, I can't take many more nights of death and torture… and autopsies?

Nicholas, Michael, and everyone else thank you for your suggestions and all the help you are offering me.

 		I, too, offer my assistance in any way I can. If Jersey is consider North (it is North within the US) I can easily get the sand and/or a shell. I live like an hour from the shore and will drive over to the beach.

That way it is awesome FRESH sand.

EDIT: Sent Slurry an email offering to get the sand/shell for him.

Double EDit: Son of a BITCH. I jsut noticed the girl part.

Triple EDIT: Emailed Surry again, explaining I could not help as much as I had hoped. Well, hopefully I'll be of more use whenever this wheel that is eating my mind comes into play.

 		Got a reply from Surry...apparently, I've been joking about zombies a little too much with Jas0n over the last few weeks.

Quote:
Michael,

I have had a few e-mails offering support for gathering the items. I'm trying to organize my thoughts and having a very difficult time doing so. Death just seems to be everywhere. It seems as though hell is trying to welcome me, reaching out between the ethereal and rip me from this reality of ours. I don't know what is happening to me and I'm scared to go out in public anymore. Everybody looks like walking corpses, I guess you would say they look like zombies, but then they would look normal. I cry myself to sleep wishing this would all end, wishing it all would end.

Thank you for trying to help me make this end
Mikey Surry

 		I too have had an email from Surry today, in response to sending him the cipher wheel data and image (and offering to get the oak.. YAY trespassing on private property!)

Mikey Surry wrote:
Andrew,

Thank you so much for your willingness to help me. This wheel thing you found looks very interesting. I wonder what it is for? Do you know how it works or anything?

As for gathering the oak, again thank you. Your last e-mail happened to misspell my last name. You would be surprised how annoyed I typically would be when someone would call me that. I caught hell in grade school because I had a slight lisp and everyone harassed me for "slurring" my words. I'm sure you didn't know that and I have no idea why I am rambling on about grade school. Probably something to do with the fact that when I woke up this morning that damned mushroom was back and standing over my bed! The hallucinations are getting worse by the day and the mushroom is a comedic break from the death and destruction I've been seeing so much of. I walk outside and I see corpses everywhere and they seem to be reaching to me trying to pull at me. Hell on earth or close to death, I don't know. The sooner we can get this ritual done the better.

Surf Safe,
Mikey Surry


Seems him and I have something in common... a youthful speech impediment. Y'all may have noticed in Boston my tendency to slur my speech when i got excited? Yeah well it used to be a thousand times worse. Was in therapy for a few years... so I replied to him commiserating (and sharing enaxor's Jefferson Wheel thought). I'm going to work on reordering the "wheels" a bit now that I have a handy dandy excel spreadsheet to manipulate.

Longohardbottle,

Yes that is to the west so to speak, really far west. I would hope that works out. I'm still waiting to hear back on all of the items. Do you know Michael? He seems to be coordinating the gathering of the ritual items for me.

Surf Safe,
Mikey Surry


Michael looks like your the coordinator.
