I think this picture of Lucia_Woolf is classy.

A staunch critic of movies and spirits, he is a man of mystery, and chooses to watch something else.. YOU.

Hello. A good place to start posting is in the movie threads..

When you see their picture hangin' on the back of your door. When its cold outside, and your wondering when they're coming home, because its hot outside, isn't that enough? Actually, my impression is that you shouldn't take a break or be in a relationship unless you want to. You can't be totally ready for anything and could find out the person you like who seems normal to you is a total bitch, a drug addict, a hoarder with an STD collection, ect. And women usually just say they're taking a break because they want to tell you off without taking the route of saying they've gone lesbian, which definitely stings a lot more.

The premiere of Season 5.

I was fortunate to first read Something Wicked This Way Comes while listening to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs album which had just came out; it was kind of ironic, especially the song on there called Rococo which is mentioned several times as a typeface in the book.

The Rise of the Praetorian Class

Its about damn time this got played somewhere. Whoever requested this is a hero.

I had a couple people say they would check it out already so hopefully some more traffic comes through over time.

I sent out a few invitations to check out the forums through DeviantArt, to people who seemed linked to dark art. And by "a few" I mean 70. So hopefully that helps.

OH DEAR VEGAS! - MODERN LOVE

My heart needs to beat normal all the time and not some of the time.

I like to think that it is two-sided with the 'absolute' and 'relative', to paraphrase Adyashanti (a modern Zen teacher) on the absolute side everything seems fine as though there's no problems, and yet on the relative side of things, there is still a need for compassion and action; which in a non-dual sense is a paradox but there it is. I'm not at all against complexity, technology, or futurism, but I also consider the bliss that can come out of meditation one of the best forms of therapy; even though I also believe due to its subjective nature nobody will never be able to fully explain it apart from science. This didn't stop Gopi Krishna or the founder of KAP (Kundalini Awakening Process) to make the attempt at more critical approaches to understanding though these are more rooted in the whole idea of kundalini. The bliss or positive emotions from what I've learned and experienced come out of mental silence/stillness/thoughtlessness, both of which almost seem accidental and impersonal. Being that meditation is the primary reason I'm not a neurotic wreck, I have a strong bias. So I wish more people interest or success in it, not with the intention to push any dogma on them, just wellbeing.

Yeah I was speaking in the context of bars/clubs, I was only using Goth for short to refer to Gothic rock as it would in such a context. I will admit I don't know what to call newer Industrial and the distinction isn't usually made, but then there is the argument I left out, that they are two different genres of sound and one is more acoustic-based. I also agree the average person will always have a wide definition of Goth and I have no problem with that; to be honest I find myself sort of taking a stance where I see Gothic rock as more of a template for Dark Indie than something that necessarily needs to be put up on any kind of pedestal.

From my blog.

I think you may have taken my post out of context, I said everyone, because I don't believe anyone dislikes pizza. Some people talk about their lives and then end it with "I'm a mormon." Well, I'm sitting here listening to this Pizza Disco song that probably wasn't intended to be comedic, drinking a mixture of ice tea and lemonade that sort of looks like diarrhea, and I need to start working on making some good homemade pizza. I'm a Pizzanist.

I've been single for a long time, on top of living in what one of my friends has referred to as 'Egypt'. There have been times when I've been alone and pretty happy, pretty much because of meditation. But lately the heat, being near broke, and the isolating rural emptiness in all directions is getting to me. I probably need to listen to more Fair Ohs to elevate my mood.

Everyone gets their kicks from.. AYYY OOH, Pizza.. Pizza Time. I'm now curious if Justin has this. Its stuck in my head and reminds me of the English version of Polar Bear by Grauzone.
