If there are dreams, they are sick,
of Fire

ive taken the liberty to post as much of my new works as possible.
i live like im dead tomorrow, so major themes to me are the experience of life, and the inability to express such. life itself for me holds many things to understand, and yet i feel like i need 12 life times to do it. The more you know the more you question, till questioning in itself becomes a way of life. so if im gonna live, its gonna be at my terms. to be or not to be, a question in an answer...

If we are all addicts to modern conflation, then kicking the habit comes from learning why we freebase self-denial and tension. I tried all the popular approaches; Stoicism and Epicureanism, Buddha's middleway, humanism... All full of shit and fakery. My truth is not yours, but the gaps between the disparate truths and similar values is where meaning hides.
there shows evidence of choice in the powers of entropy and creation. Simply; strings choosing vibration. Even natural selection, the things selected, show a whimsy of the arbitrary. Just my "god" is truly omnipotent: inaccessible, unintelligible and most likely vastly unconcerned with any individual.

there is something beautiful to the dualism of the body as a weapon and as a complex serious of flaws to pick apart. Music is for me the highest form of artistic writing; making words sounds. My favourite genres are folk-metal, melodic metal and the more modern emerging gothic genres, like synthpop and gothic rock (cant really stand EBM or industrial stuff, they missed the fine line tween emotion and noise). My favourite bands of the moment are Amorphis, The Birthday Massacre, Kamelot... I suppose to mention them all would be impossible, given space.

I work under-paid, currently a teaching assistant at a primary school, having just finished a degree in Linguistics. Hopefully I've stocked enough stuff for a few books, that's why I came to this site. I'm always into meeting artists, and perhaps that, what the buddhist (nothing but nihilists really) call, satori of others. My truths mean nothing if not compared, and so i want to read as much as possible. And also, most usefully, i can get some feedback on my art, before I make an ass of myself in front of a publisher.

there can be beauty in unexpected things, if you just look right. There is purpose to all, universality even to the most random or horrible happening, and that is beauty. Cause sharin is carin they say.
