Fellow Darklings.

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 17, 2008, 4:38 PM
I would say that there are few people in this world on any level that I would die to meet. Most of them are dead. Do I need to give examples? You know who number one is. Baudelaire! Baudelaire!

Though, living, there are so few.

One is Dr. Stephen Flowers. He is a professor in a school near where I wish to do my graduate work, so cross my fingers.. hopefully one day I will get to talk with him. This interview, I read a while back and came across it again, is interesting on multiple levels.. so I thought I would share it.

On a side note, I think that Gotos manifested himself to me as a rat. The Gothic, the Dark, the Beautifully Evil and Decayed one.. festering in eternity.

Festering, fester, fester, fester.. I love that word almost as much as decay.

Though when I think of Gotos I think of him as Odin hanging from Yggradsil while Nidhoggr chews away at it's roots.. That is a painting I want.

If I could paint I would paint that. It would all be in shadow, there would be no features.. just Odin hung by a noose from Yggradsil and Nidhoggr chewing away at the roots..

How beautiful is that imagery? I want that on my gravestone. I want that on my body. I want that. That. That.

Nidhoggr and Odin, is there a better pair?

  • Reading: Baudelaire (again).
  • Eating: sour gummy bears (is there anything else?)

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?

I've been trying to catch up on your journals, (well, everybody's actually, since I've not been on here in a while,) and I always find your's take the longest to get through. I can't just sit there and read them through - there's too much to think about. But that is why I love your writing so much - even the ramblings.

If we light a candle a shadow appears. The more we strive for light the bigger shadow will grow behind us.

I had a look at your favourites and noticed that you seem to select deviations only rarely.

I feel exceptionally honored that you added The Late Harvest to your collection.

Thank you.

Create your pain, design your wound
watch the fresh blood drain
from your skin and from your vains
this art can take you far
once becomed a scar
the agony you endured
and the beauty of this scar
will make you a star

PS-

Is it ok if I use stanza four as a quote?
