Yes, things are clearer. Basically it was all in my head and I'm a bit fruity from time to time. But who isn't? At least thats what I'm telling myself anyway. Thank you for your concern, I do appreciate it. The abusive relationship has ended and though I still have to go to court over it my life has already gotten back to a normal so that I can again live the way I want to live- and I plan to be single for quite some time and think about myself only- so that I can enjoy my life again and excel in my classes. Things are looking better, I can't complain.

β€œHe who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”

Also, can you note me with a mailing address for your current residence? I have something I want to send you for the holidays.

That seems like the sort of thing we'd actually do together.
except for the driving around a dupermarket. I fear I am not so great of a driver as to be able to maneuver there.

i went to the biltmore estate this weekend, it's the ultimate in decadence and a place that would hardly remind me of you- even the nature was forced to conform.

it's interesting that you should say that. back when i first started web design, i worked almost exclusively in blue. in fact, i think i did do a design of the society page that was entirely navy and dark blue (and i was quite pleased with it at the time).

i like that oscar wilde thing, but most of all, i like "cut cut cut". perhaps there's something to that?

San Fransico.. I'm sure that will be a wonderful place to be anything you want to be and do whatever you want to do. I've done a fair amount of moving around myself, so I hope that you find that you like it there, that the move was worth the move. I've heard that they have a great music and art scene that you can delve into. There will plenty to be submerged in.

I'm glad that you got your applications going and I hope that you will hear a reply before too much time pasess. I'm sure that something beneficial to what you desire will come to fruition and open even more doors. I recently applied for financial aid to go to University here and I was told that I would get full Pell. So I'm glad for that. There is always something just around the corner..

I'm very pleased to hear that you are finding more inner strength and peace in this strange life. It seems that it is true that once things are very bad, they can only get better which is a comforting thought. I knew that you would find a way because you're just too intelligent and sensitive not to- and you deserve it better than most. Some people don't even care to make the effort and don't feel the pain, but getting back up again builds character that is stronger than we expect it to be. It is enough, it is what we need.

Thanks for your comment on Ismene. To give a belated reply to your last message, yes I'm doing alright. I'm newly employed and I like my job that keeps me busy or exhausted; also been glad to be creating manipulations again. I'm considering a stock account, but deciding if I want two to keep up with is the delimma. I find that most of the stock here is completely useless.

i had a most interesting dream not too long ago.

you and i were at a university, as we were considering new places you could attend. it was perhaps the most magnificent place we have ever been, strong greek architecture, no ceilings whatsoever, and the hallways were full of ponds and great flowing rivers. all manners of reptiles and amphibians, even a few birds, called the college home. a great forest grew outside the building, and the entire school was built around the trees and rivers, not a single tree cut down nor river diverted to build it. the students all studied biology and philosophy, and the forest was cultivated to provide fresh organic foods to the cafeteria.

some manner of men or beast was after us, however. we never saw or mentioned them, but we knew we were being chased from afar, so we tried to escape in a single engine two man plane. however, the cargo compartments were full of oil, so we were too heavy to lift off.

then the sun disappeared, never to be seen again, and the sense of being chased from afar was replaced with the sense that the world was over. none of us could explain why, nor did we try, but we all knew no one would see a sunrise or another day again. off in the distance we saw the glimmering green cities that somehow solidified our fate, and we rode out to meet it on horseback.

Hey there. Glad to hear from you again.

I'm happy to hear that your applications all got in on time. I have handed in... um... no applications! I'm returning to Wingate for the fall semester, and I guess I'll be turning in applications over the summer in order to transfer next spring. This could end up costing me an extra year in school if I don't get my nursing prerequisites completed, but it's a little late to worry about that now. I'll do what I need to do.

My semester ends in two weeks. My last wave of tests is finally over and now it's time to start studying for finals. Part of me really can't wait for the semester to end, and part of me is dreading the end. That part should really shut up though, because the semester will end whether part of me likes it or not. For the summer, I'm returning to Long Island and I'll probably end up working a job that makes me miserable because I need to make money. There are no good jobs at home. Basically, you can work in a restaurant or at the one grocery store that we have on my island, which is actually separate from the main part of Long Island. I've already worked in the grocery store and in two different restaurants and I didn't like any of it. I worked in a hospital last summer and I had a great time, learned a lot, and made a decent amount of money. However, they can't afford to hire me back this summer, so I'm stuck. I'll figure something out though, I suppose. If nothing else, I can work my crappy job and look forward to my days off, which will be spent lounging on the beach and reading.

Right now, I'm reading a book called American Gods by Neil Gaiman. This is the first book of Gaiman's that I've read; it was recommended to me by a friend. The story is much different than any other story I've read, but I'm really enjoying it. I bought it in November, but I never really had a lot of time to read it. I picked it up again a few weeks ago and now I'm almost done with it. If you have any recommendations, I'm open to them because I'll need a new book when I'm finished with this one.

Keon, a post came up where I thought of you so I came here. I said that if they were upset about the cruel treatment of animals then they should become vegetarians or talk to you and take the next step..

That really stinks to hear the situation with your parents. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that it will all work out.

i am so sorry that i have not sent you a reply! i just now saw your comment on my main page, i was shocked by your subject of counter civilized culture.

Tell me, are you familiar with [link] ? I tend to lean more towards socialism, at least in the sense of having no private property, rejecting nationalism, marriage, and modern views of 'work.' To facilitate the lack of dependance on the industrial complex and it's deliberate poisoning of the food supply to create the medicine industry, I've also become heavily involved in the raw food movement. What are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are that people have a sacred right to be what they want to be and not forced to be what society wants them to be. I am against all forms of dicipline aside from the dicipline of hunting and basic survival.

Dependence upon the civilized hierarchy has led to population growth and every other form of social injustice. The social classes were never meant to be.

I'm not preaching maxism or any form of socialism, but rather tribalism. Daniel Quinn calls it "the tribal revolution" and the green anarchists are putting it into practice here in Austin. It is a permanent escape from the stressful and empty life of a civilized slave. (I laugh to my self) suicide is no longer the only answer for us crazy people it seems.

but raw food can still be implemented into the tribal existence through a concept known as permaculture. Permaculture: a form of agriculture based upon survival of the individual and the individual alone, straying from population growth through minimalist consumption. So a tribal community has no population growth and escapes the hollow life of an economic slave - the very answer to our individual needs as well as our ecosystem's.

but have i seen that link? I read it everyday and John Zerzan is one of my favorite authors (John runs the site and radio show). I am reading one of his many books called, "Running on emptiness - the pathology of civilization" and it is really informative. It focuses a lot on the way civilization was born and it's effects upon the human psyche. I am really glad you found that site! it is awsome.

you also may want to read some essays from the primitivists (John Zerzan, Derik Jensen, Daniel Quinn, Bob Black) [link]
if you liked the green anarchy site, you are really going to like this one!

you also may be inclined toward some anarchist tribes in san fransisco! check em out. [link]

you are a great independent thinker and your gallery is ideologically superb! send me a reply some time, hopefully you will see this sooner than i saw your comment. sorry about that. keep it up and i hope you stay independent and ideologically undiciplined, it is a remarkable trait that you posses.

"Violence once carried with it an immoral disregard for the sanctity of sentient life or physical well being. Instead of defining terrorism as any act which terrorizes people through threats or instances of physical injury, terrorism is redefined as any significant opposition to whomever wields power. If terrorism were really a question of violence then the Pentagon, Coca-Cola and the NYPD would top the list of terror threats. Once physical injury to a living thing is removed from its definition, violence and terrorism become meaningless, irrelevant words to be exploited only when needed to either rationalize the use of force or marginalize those who oppose you.

No, you are quite mistaken. He held massive book burnings of the few libraries that did indeed exist when the Celt people started to write down what was kept in oral tradition for aeons. That was what this so-called 'saint' did. I don't know why you have brought many other people into the equation for the express reason of defending him, or why, ultimately, you are so driven to come to my page in order to do it.

I don't celebrate the acts of any so-called "saints" or christian missionaries. What I said about this 'patrick' boy is quite true.

Hiya. I'm here to reply, yeehaw. Umm...

Well, let's see what's going on with me... spring break was last week; I went to stay with a friend who lives in Wisconsin and I had a lot of fun. There was no snow and the temperature was in the 50s the whole time, so that was nice. I still haven't sent in any applications. My only motivation to stay in school now is to stay away from home. Eh, oh well. I'll figure out what to do eventually, I guess.

I'm glad that your withdrawal won't affect your chances of being accepted to other schools and stuff. I'd take a break, but I don't really have anywhere to stay if I take a break and I'm afraid that I won't be able to motivate myself to go back if I leave.

It sounds like you'll have a great time when you're in San Jose. I've never been out to California, but I hope to visit one of these days.

I should probably get to sleep so I can drag myself out of bed tomorrow; I've been skipping more classes lately than I should. Take it easy and let me know how you're doing.

Religion based on the concept of an anthropocentric and anthropomorphic deity will always fail to meet logical standards. Christianity is based on a consumerist deity; consumerism is responsible for a lot of suffering and that is probably why the Christian God cannot control his emotions. When must give up their taste for consumerism in order to reach a state of nirvana.

aldous huxley quotes are of immeasurable value. my favourite would have to be "At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas."

although "Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored." is a close second.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe

Hey there. Sorry I never got back to you after you last posted on my page (which was December 24th). I've been kinda missing in action as far as this site is concerned. I was home for three weeks for Christmas break and I've been back at school for about a month now. I'm still planning to transfer, but I haven't gotten any applications done. I suppose I won't be transferring if I don't get my act together and submit some applications. I guess I still have a little bit of time though. Other than that, nothing's really happening over in these parts. Stop by, if you get a chance, and let me know how you've been and what you've been up to.
