Just got back from vacation in Florida yesterday. I was volunteering to help victims of the three or four hurricanes that swept through last year. I had a lot of fun. I was so glad to just be away from school for a while and to be able to relax in the sun. There was some personality clash along the way, mainly with the two...

What part of florida did you go to? Yeah Florida definitly has it's pros and cons. It's nice and warm all year long but in the summer it's hotter than hell. And in general people in north florida are nice but the south floridians not so much. I was born and raised in S Fla and live in N Fla now, so I'm allowed to talk shit about S Fla haha.

That's the power of love right there hehe
So yesterday this guy just came up and talked to me out of nowhere at breakfast. It was one of those things where you think "Oh, people normally don't do that sort of thing, walking around scared of social contact with their own race" and so I thought it was pretty cool. I think that was the whole point. So later on in the day...

I find it pleasantly odd that when nothing is going wrong in life there is very little to write about. Conflict and drama interest people, and those abstracts seem to have a need to be expressed. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I ever considered being a writer. Other times though, I think about what a craft it is to write a good story. To...

I think perhaps the key to being a writer for some is the prospect that they can help someone else with their pen and paper. For others it is a matter of catharsis. I've found that I write best whatever it is I've been reading most recently. To write good comics you'd have to read some first. Got any suggestions...?

Today I wrote a paper comparing Lord Byron to Legacy of Kain. I whipped ass at Marvel VS Capcom 2 as if I were a deity operating on some inhuman level of expertise. I drank two cups of free coffee. And most importantly, it was warm and the sun was shining. I can't have a bad day when it is warm and the sun is...

Actually it's just a rumor. I meant to put "hear" not "know" that Manson is retiring oops sorry hehe.

I can always have a bad night. I always wonder how I would do in Alaska with the whole day/night darkness light thing. I would like to experiment sometime. If it didn't work out I would like the option to leave for sure.
After about two hours of alternating between push-ups and crunches I stood looking at myself in the mirror, at the body of clay that I have been given to mold and whose form can never be more than mortal. Once upon a time I did this to look better for someone else, for women, but now I don't know why I do it anymore. I...

I've never been pro-three successive days of drizzle and cold. I'll take the sun over that any day. But there's something to be said for a storm.
I don't think I'm going to sci-fi today. I have to do this thing for Butler.
Curse that snooze button...

-thanks man. me and my cousin were sitting around one day making up hip-hop names for ourselves and this is one of the ones i came up with.
Over the last couple of days my everlasting search for meaning seems to be coming up dry. It is very difficult to try and trudge forward when you start to question whether or not all the things that used to drive you forward even exist anymore. Faith flickers inside of me though. Somehow there are some things that I simply cannot dismiss, despite my inability...

The things that used to drive do not at all anymore too. It seems like the meaning of life is constantly changing.
kundalini:
I used to believe that there was a constant ebb and flow, that that which is drawn out would inevitably return, but I cannot believe that anymore. I look into the future and see only loss and conflict. I find myself trying to shut it out, only to become more isolated and disconnected. Where is the happy medium...?
I've discovered a lot of things over the past couple of days. I found God in that incalculable moment when your breath changes from out to in, the space between the beats of your heart, the silence, the stillness. I've also realized what a profound impact the weather has on my mood. It is warm and sunny today, and it almost feels like nothing else...

I have a message up on the front page of the site-- the index page-- that just indicates I don't have a webpage proper. There's still content, but I've yet to finish the new site design, so everything is just in raw directories, which you can't access directly unless I provide a link. So when I want people to see stuff, I just direct them to /pics or /art or /photography or whatever. One day, I'll actually finish HTMLing the neato keen site itself, and then you won't have to worry about just looking at lists of titles anymore. :>

Everyone goes through ups and downs. Whenver I'm in a good mood I try to cherish it as long as i can since I know sooner or later it will go away.
I was born in the darkest, coldest month of the year. Even though I know this isn't necessarily true, some days it feels like it has always been December. I've spent most of it chasing the sun, trying to find a place where it never gets cold.

One the most common things that one of my philosophy professors discusses is the conflicting set of commitments that people of Western culture hold about themselves. On one hand we think of ourselves on a humanistic level, in which we have free will and the ability to reason; feelings and a whole other manner of abstract and intangible things factor into the reasoning we use...

Our whole society is paradoxical on every level. It's a dichotomy that forms the two legs of culture, the divine and the vulgar. Dominant Western society has seemingly always separated the two, keeping them distant. There are only a handful of seemingly enlightened people who can bring their spiritual beliefs safely into the realm of the physical world. Everybody else is just closing their eyes and humming really loudly so they can't hear the conflict that their own belief system depends on to in order to exist.
Really, a Satanist?
The upside down cross kind that couldn't exist unless christians were so fucking adamant that the Christ has come and gone and he's the same as God and that he hates our sins but loves us all, but only loves the righteous, and hates gays and free-thinkers and wishes that President Bush would create laws against any other form of happiness but the one his most fervent followers espouse...?
Or that other kind...?
Jeebus, there needs to be a devil smiley on here....

Prometheus
Titan! to whose immortal eyes
The sufferings of mortality,
Seen in their sad reality,
Were not as things that gods despise;
What was they pity's recompense?
A silent suffering, and intense;
The rock, the vulture, and the chain,
All that the proud can feel of pain,
The agony they do not show,
The suffocating sense of woe,
Which speaks but in its loneliness,

Totally unrelated: I'm looking at your updated profile and remembering that once upon a time, on a MU* I played on, I described a dragon for someone based on Sarasvati/Benten. I remember I did a lot of research about it, and one of the sites I used was this one. If you're interested. It's a pretty nifty article.
And here I bet you thought I didn't know stuff about stuff.
I TOTALLY know stuff.
...even if I did only learn it for an RPG. ;>

I'm a little drunk right now, but not so much that I won't be able to make a reasonable amount of sense. Yesterday I was talking to my therapist about how I lack reliable and supportive people to fill the parental roles in my life, I began to realize how much fictional characters have become a substitute for that lack. This led me to the...

I don't see any other way it could possibly be. People who use sex as a weapon, or who fling it around like a fifty cent cracker jax toy, and think there won't be consequences because, oh, they're just not attached to it that much--in MY experience--always end up getting burned the worst. And then they can't figure out why.

In regards to your sweet compliment, thank you. I don't feel very creative most of the time, even though I understand it isn't a tap I just turn off when I need to rest... damn dripping kept me up all night last night!
Reading your journal today makes me feel a bit heavy, because I have always had a very polarized relationship to sex. It makes me think you won't have very many 22 year olds over who are ready to experience what you're describing. But you know what, that's okay. It's all about quality control.
