Ghost HouseWell right now I am in a state of both anticipation and trepidation. So what has put me in such a state? Well as you all know by now, I love horror, and I particuarly look forward ot Horrorfest, even if I thought that last years was not as good as the first year. But that is another topic. So there is this new thing out now called Ghost House, which is if you have not already guessed, a collection of what was suppose to be edgey new horror movies that went straight to DVD, though they have not yet been released they will be this month, soon. So I cannot wait to dig my claws into a new venue of horror, yet I fear that they may prove to be B rate, or all about slash and gore.11:15 PM - 10/12/2008 - comments {0} - post commentMy Own AudienceI want to curl up and diebut then I lie I do not really wish to die it is just the kind of thing someone like me likes to say though only in my head where I put on my own plays an audience of myself let the rest of the world think I am far more serious you see, I seek not attention for I wait untill I am on the only one looking and then I suffer alone and in silence but at my own comand. 10:29 PM - 10/10/2008 - comments {0} - post commentElementsElements

Through the gauze
a touch of satin
upon my skin
a kiss of crimson
I cannot escape
My vision an amber haze
while my breath is stifled
falling away; the muslin
unwraps slowly, revealing
a corpse within
The smell, smokey
while I inhale
a wisp of the funeral
shroud, fluttering effervesces
My fingers grasp
to unravel the strands
but each cord a tie
to eternity
Close my eyes
and descend
while the veil
embraces me.

This is space
it sits, waiting to be filled
you can fill it
a commanding
empty presence
It does not speak
but stares
with unblinking eyes
it does not flinch
but make you shrink back
It is intimidating
daunting
the way you know
you will be expected to do something
with it
Oddly it does not sit still
as you think it would
you do not witness its movement
but you feel it
as some thing moving inside of you
And you know
you are being called
why have you not yet
done anything
with this empty space
8:39 PM - 10/7/2008 - comments {0} - post commentThe UnforgiveableI do not know what is wrong with me, yes, I know there are a lot of things wrong with me, but there is one particular thing of which I am speaking of right now, and that is the fact that for some reason I have such a strong, vile loathsome reaching to cheating. I know the majority of most people are disapproving of it, but for me, I really take it personally, I am deeply offended, and I myself have not in fact ever been cheated upon, so it makes no sense. I respond to it as if it was something that personally affected me, even if it involves complete strangers. Like if I find out someone was unfaithful, read something in someone's blog talking about some affair they had, or something of the sort, even if I do not know anything else about them, I will wish horrible things upon them because of that. I am absolutely convinced that it must have to do with some past life experience I have had, because my reaction to it, does not make sense to me. If a complete stranger betrays their spouse or significant other, who I also do not know, then it really should not ignite a feeling of murderous rage within me, and yet it does. I even hate it when it happens in books with fictional characters, whenever I sense one character is going to cheat upon another I get in instant feeling of dread and disgust.

So tonight I cam across this movie of which I have never heard of before called Nemesis Games, and well so far it does seem to be rather interesting.9:46 PM - 10/4/2008 - comments {1} - post commentThe Morning AfterThe Morning After
First I open one eye
slowly, almost painfully
with just as much care
I open the other eye,
for a while I only stare
So this is what the next day
feels like, numb at first
but gradually feeling
begins to reawake
I am aware of things,
of skin and muscles
the moving of each limb,
yes, I am still alive
Memories return to the mind
movement becomes slow,
left in a space of waiting
for answerers to come
Was it all just a dream
or a nightmare,
I feel again like myself
but are things changed
perhaps forever

No breaking free
Falling away
Is it all just a game
Yet what do you know
But maybe this is the stage
Have you been made a fool
What now is the purpose of this

I can feel the chill of the wind
the sound of the leaves rustling, like the steps of a ghost for here there is nothing, But a sense of loveliness in the crisp fresh breeze with air starting to chill, it is the scent of Autumn that lingers on. Beauty of decaying fire littered here and there the tingling of rain which rests heavy in the air. Dampness so near to the touch awakened in this rejuvenation that I might wander like a ghost and only the leaves will crinkle in my wake. I seem to slowly fade
in the bright burning beauty
surrounding all around me
whispering in the rain drops
and breath of the wind,
So who would see me, made into a simple shade
while I pass these cool stone roads so sweetly caressing falls new sensations teetering between life and death.

All it took was listening to some anti-gay ignoramuses on the radio to get me all fired up, and while I still believe individual churches still have the right to refuse gay marriage I do not think they have the right to determine the laws.
Here is what I think. Personally I do not think Gay Marriage should be put to vote. I think it should just be a given, than in the United States, Gay Marriage is legal, period. End of story, don't like it, too bad. Now why would I, who is often spouting for freedom and rights even for people who I do not agree with hold this view? Because last time I checked there is suppose to be this little thing called separation of church and state, and the primary reason why Gay marriage isn't legal in the majority country is because of religion. Period end of story. A discriminatory law is being allowed in the the USA because of the views of one particular religion. In the issue of Gay Marriage religion is being given power over the government and the citizens. 99% of all arguments against Gay Marriage are purely religious, and 99% of people who are against gay marriage are so on the grounds of their religious belief. So the government needs to just step in here and say screw you religion, this is not a Papal Country, we are not run by the church, and we are no longer going to allow a religious organization propagate laws that go against the constitution of freedom and equality for all. I think there needs to be more atheists in movement. Because from what I can see there is no plausible non-religious reason to be against gay marriage. Religion can still have their own personal individual rights, but I am tired or religions being the base of allowing bigotry laws within the country. I defy anyone to produce a convincing, intelligent argument against Gay Marriage, which has absolutely no grounds in religion whatsoever. I have yet to hear it made.

Lucifer´s Lament Whispers in my ear the a bird of a little taste of shadow for the moons power would invoke Upon flaming wing he rose light was his name but stolen with a blow upon broken wings he falls All feathers stripped away I hear the distant music when I pray, all sad songs for the injustice How one could not forgive when a slave stands upon their own to break from tyrant masters and soar free Now the air grows cold passion burning in the eyes does he too not feel the true victimized Vilified by the weak who fear to rise from their knees he shelters those who break away to find their own voice.
9:08 PM - 9/30/2008 - comments {0} - post commentA word to my Gay friendsAnyone who reads my blog, probably knows by know that I totally support Gay Marriage, and Gay Rights.
Gay people, I love you, and I support you, but you have got to stop acting like A-holes, because believe me, that is not doing you any favors. You don't get to go around spouting about your own rights and freedoms, while trying to deny other people their own rights and freedom. Not everyone has to embrace your choices, and accept your lifestyle. Legally they cannot do anything to discriminate against you, but they are still entitled to their own personal beliefs and within their own churches they are allowed to have their beliefs and you do not have the right to infringe upon that. I was just listening to the radio about how churches that refuse to perform gay marriage ceremonies are being threatened under lawsuits, and how Gays are trying to sue to be allowed into religious sectors and organizations which do not support or agree with their life style. If you want to get married, than great, I wish you the best, I totally agree you should be allowed to do that, but if you go to a church and they tell you they don't want to marry you as a gay couple because it is against their beliefs, while I personally do not agree with Christian Conservatism, and Religious Bigotry, it is their right to hold those beliefs, and within their own church it is their right to act upon their beliefs. Just because you have the right to be married, does not mean you have the right to force a church to perform the service. Just as you are allowed to have the freedom to choose to get married, and to live the lifestyle you want. They also have a freedom to choose their own personal beliefs and to decide they do not agree with your lifestyle. Even if a particular church refuses to marry you, you have other options to get married, you are not being prevented from your right to marry by a churches refusal to perform the service. You can go to a judge, or find a more liberal church. But trying to say you have rights and freedoms, that you than want to deny other people from having, is not cool, and is not going to earn you any favors. There was another story about a wedding photographer who refused to photograph a gay wedding because it was against their beliefs, and so they are now being sued. Again, not cool. Guess what, they have the right to feel that way. Stop trying to force everyone to accept you. On your wedding day, why would you want that sort of negative karma and energy anyway? Of someone being there grudgingly and resentfully, and not really sharing in the celebration with you. Wouldn't you prefer to just find another photographer, their is no shortage of wedding photographers, I am sure you can find someone who would be more than happy to do it of their own free will. And all around, wouldn't that be better? To have someone there because they really want to be there? Just the way you have rights, other people have rights to, even if they disagree with you. So I love you guys, and agree you should have all the same legal rights and freedoms as anyone else, and that legally you should not be discriminated against. But sometimes you need to take a few deep breaths step down from your high horse and be a little bit more of a mature adult, and realize maybe other people have their own rights too, and you should not try to infringe on the rights of others, while you are fighting for your own rights.
9:58 AM - 9/29/2008 - comments {0} - post commentThe OnenessThe Oneness
Balanced upon the edge
the abyss spreads before me
a tempest in the eyes
I have reached the end
The end of the universe
where darkness speaks
and silence wavers
the stars dance in spirals
all emotions combust into one
single pulse.
Feeling the rush
every thought
every word
a well which ever descends
and somewhere below
is the place it was all born
Washed away
into outer space
the end of eternity
weightless, lifeless
never falling
Looking within
to the divine
senses awakened
tingling with life
Dissolved
it is the end
of all and yet
the beginning of all
Spanning, spinning
understanding without
understanding
The heart of the world
beating, throbbing
full of life where there is
no life.
