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!

Death, Dreams, and The Thursday Survey

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come . . . --Prince Hamlet of Denmark, Hamlet by William Shakespeare I think maybe my mind is preoccupied with something lately. I've been having a lot of dreams about death the past few nights. Not violent or murderous dreams; I haven't killed anyone nor has anyone been "killed," per se. No, just dying. They've been emotionally intense dreams to say the least. Maybe it's just my mind's way of trying to deal with my grandmother's sudden death and all the death and destruction inundating us every night on the television since Katrina busted the levees and Potemkin-President Bush murdered all those thousands of people through his wonton and arrogant negligence. Hmm . . . Think I could be feeling some anger, too. Since I wrote Tuesday's post, I have to admit my optimism has jaded a bit. The red sun rising over the horizon of my morning drive now seems ...
