Fate

cruel whore of Irony
posit your wares of iniquity
on the poor and unworthy,
Destroyer of dreams
feeding with spoons and needles
our addiction
to hope.

You leave us empty,
drinking the putrid womb-juice
eating the fetid afterbirth
of your aborted bastard child, Ennui.

Everyday is exactly the same
evil enjoys love
good suffers indifference
once I had a voice
now I rarely make a sound

Everyday is exactly the same
slowly poisoning ourselves
longing to forget what we have already forgotten
emptiness replaces pain

maybe once I had a purpose--
then again, that might have been a dream


leaves hope for release

will never come.

The Megan requests at least one perky blog for every 3 depressing blogs... you're blogs have been making me sad lately Jameson...

I know, I know... you are going to say, 'now Megan, if you want perky blogs, then START UP YOUR OWN PERKY BLOG WEBSITE AND WRITE YOUR OWN FUCKING PERKY BLOGS!!!'

... and then I will say, 'but James, I so enjoy reading and responding to all the other blog sites, and i don't want to take away from that time by working on my own blog site'

...and then you will say 'well that just sounds like plain laziness to me'

... and then i will say, 'yes, yes, i suppose perhaps you are right'

... and then you will say, 'indeed, i usually am'.

M: When life decides to toss me a bone, I will write perky blogs just for you.

LWCS: Thanks and good luck with that . . . but are you sure it's even worth the effort of the attempt? Only the selfish get ahead in life.

OK well my 2 cents, things are tough sometimes. One of those times it seems is now, but we must (forgive the cliche) draw strength and happiness from eachother and try and find a way to get through the tough times. Besides we have a FedEx package waiting for us at home so cheer up. Kisses...

Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality. Anyway, enjoy! (Video No Longer Available) Cheers-Thanksalot!

Penguins Are People, too

Just got the latest issue of Out magazine and while thumbing through the usual spread of young and impossibly fit models hawking ridiculously priced fashion, gadgets, and the latest and trendiest in "must-haves", I came across a story that was (pull out the puke bucket) actually heart-warming. Ironically, the story takes place in the refrigerated section of New York's Central Zoo, where a pair of special penguins have proven that being gay really is going to the birds. Meet Roy and Silo, a pair of chinstrap penguins. Roy and Silo met during the 1998 breeding season and paired off for life as many species of penguin are wont to do. Nothing unusual here, save one small detail: both are male penguins. Gay penguins are nothing new. The are several paired same sex penguins at the Berlin Zoo in Germany. The Gay penguins there have gotten so famous in their homeland that there were protests when zoo keepers attempted ways of making the homo-ice-birds go for members of the oppos...
