Mellow Playlist


This is a laid back playlist created by You Tube user Jimmyann27riot. They listen to these songs while creating, so I thought it might work for me. Maybe it will work for you too!

Celine Dion Playlist

Yeah, I'm listening to Celine Dion, Bitches. A playlist yet. What you gonna do about it?

Immortality

Tired Of


Posted by The Anonymous Art of Revolution on Facebook.

I know this feeling very well. I've never been one of The Beautiful People. I'm an outcast. In the United States, I don't encounter much racism, because I'm white. But, I'm White Trash. I'm also one of THEM. You know, the crazies, the sickos, the mentally ill.

I'm one of THEM, but you probably wouldn't know it. I'm not likely to make the news, unless its the obituaries because my disease finally won. I won't make the news for shooting up a movie theatre like a selfish fucking jackass, or shooting up people from a clock tower like a stupid fucking sociopath with no consciense, or for committing serial murders like a twisted fucking shithead. 

I, like the majority of people with mental illness, am no more dangerous than the average person. I am in fact more likely to be a victim than to be a predator.

Physically, I'm in my mid forties. Emotionally, I'm not an adult. I can hold a job, but the conditions have to be right or I'll sink into a severe depressive state. I'm a "loser" with a menial job, because that's what I can handle. I have a fairly high I.Q., but I'll never be able to excel in the usual ways.

Love, romance, and sex are difficult areas for me to navigate, so I choose to avoid them. I tend to attract predators who don't give a shit if they hurt me as long as they get some pussy, and broken people who might not mean to hurt me but they will. People like drug addicts. If I'm attracted to a guy, it means he's just wrong, so it's better if I stay away.

The character John Coffey is a truly beautiful person, not a glamorous person. I think that Michael Clarke Duncan seemed like a beautiful person too in his way. I liked him. Shine on, Big Man!

Love,

Illsa

Hercules Renounces His Immortality


Hercules decides that being immortal is not all its cracked up to be. As mortals, I think that most of us have pondered what it would be like to be immortal. At this point in my life, I don't fear death. Having lived with crippling depression, I've often wished that I wouldn't wake up when I go to sleep. More than once I've looked to the Heavens and said "let me up, I've had enough."

I suppose that there is a reason why I'm still supposed to be here, otherwise I wouldn't still be here. I try to look for that reason and to find wisdom in the teachings of the Enlightened. I hope to somehow bring this world a little closer to the path of Love if in any way I can.

Love,

Illsa

Plague of the Locusts


I really don't know why I let Brittney talk me into watching this. It reminds me of the lifetime where I was an Egyptian queen and the plague of locusts came and devastated everything. It was terrible!

PANSI says that The Cheesemeister is going to hell in a Ham Biskit for profaning (she actually said Profanilizing) God's name.


EMRALD

Think Women Should Be Seen and Not Heard?

For those asshats who think that females are supposed to be dumb, ditzy eye candy and not human beings with minds, hearts, and souls.

Read it and weep, dumb ass.

I'm annoyed by "men" who are intimidated by real women.

Who Brought the Dog?


If I invite you to a party, don't bring the dog! I have lots of cats.

Good Ole 80's Cheese: The Being


Maybe it's because I was a teenager/young adult during this area, but a lot of the horror movies, even the bad ones, have a certain charm that many of today's movies, in spite of the improved special effects, lack.

I Hate Being A Grown-Up


I can relate. And if you ever saw my pathetic excuse for housekeeping, you'd know it.

Smokey Robinson Playlist

Here is a playlist from The Soulful One. You're welcome!

Smokey Robinson: Being With You


Switching to the soulful sounds of Smokey Robinson. Always the best!

God Knows

Kotoko: PV

Kotoko


I can't read Japanese, so I don't know what the name of this song is. But the sound and the video are both really cool.

Kotoko: Agony

Kotoko: Re-Sublimity

Kotoko: Being


Enough of the disaster scenarios. Let's have some J-Pop.

More 2012 Disaster Predictions


This video is fascinating, but I have a problem with it from the beginning. Their "tornado on the sun" is a solar flare. It's the sun. It makes flares. It does all sorts of scary shit on a daily basis.

We live in a precarious position. Daily, objects burn up in our atmosphere. Sometimes they don't burn up. Depending upon the size of the object, this could make for real trouble.

There may be certain cosmic changes going on. (Here I speak of the physical cosmos.) I think that these will have very little impact on day to day life on Earth. Regardless of whether they do or not, there's nothing we can do to prevent them. 

I'm actually quite an open-minded person when it comes to the esoteric. I believe that there is something which survives physical death. I believe in the possibility of what could best be described as higher vibration energy beings, which could be dubbed "angels," "demons," or "deities."

Our world will end someday. But I really don't believe it will happen due to a doomsday scenario of the nature being described by those who believe in the 2012 prophecy.

I'm pretty sure I'll get up on December 22, 2012 and do the same kinds of things that I was doing on December 20, 2012 without much change involved.

I'm not trying to belittle anyone's beliefs. I hate people who do that. There may indeed be something that's happening at a higher level. That I don't know for sure. I'm willing to keep an open mind about it. 

I just want people to stop worrying about December 21, 2012.

Everything's going to be okay.

And if it isn't, then I'll eat my shoes. I'll film it and put it on You Tube.

Are the Planetary Alignments Really Off?


My friend Faycin A Croud started this with her post yesterday on the Parade of Planets theory.

LIke Faycin, I don't believe that the world will end in 2012. I am open to the possibility that there may be certain changes on a cosmic level, but I'm not exactly sure what they will be. If such changes are coming, there's nothing I can do to stop them from coming. Might as well just observe what transpires with a scientific mind.

Being Who You Really Are

Internet Nonsense

I don't know if someone hacked my old Twitter account, but I can't log into it any more. I had to create a new one. Not that I even use Twitter that much, but if anyone cares, here's my new Twitter.

Also, if you follow me on Twitter and your url is cumshot-fuckedhard dot com? I'm not bloody likely to follow you back. Just sayin'.

Fearsome Sketch, Bitches!

Rick Wakeman: Six Wives of Henry VIII


Great, almost-forgotten Prog masterpiece.

Devil Woman


One of my favorite songs from the 1970's. I defy you not to look at his pants!

The "Parade of Planets" Theory


First in Russian. I don't speak Russian. Can you imagine if this was coming over the news on TV with no translation to your language? I'd be all like "AAAAAHHHH, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER!!!!! DO YOU SPEAK IT??????"
Okay, here it is in English. I actually don't believe that the world will end on December 31, 2012. I believe the Deities hate us too much to allow us to get off that easily. We're going to have to stay here and keep suffering.

Satanic Lasagna with Russian Meal Time

Russian Meal Time Burrito


A multi-cultural experience!

Brutal Barbaric Bløtkake


Mustn't leave out our Norwegian friends.

Satanic Salad


Ah Sweedon! Home of death metal, cute guys, and great food. It seems only natural that one would find Satanic Salad here. Play a little Bathory, and check it out!

Flying Jacob!


I really can't explain. Must be seen to be believed.

Japanese Fashion Show


The styles here are mostly kimonos, and even those that aren't tend to be things that actual human beings might wear. However, I've always found fashion shows in general to be exceedingly dull. A bunch of stiffs sit around watching a group of stick-skinny androids parading across a stage with little variance in their facial expression. Oh, look! It's the new synthetics for this year!Am I talking about the people, or the fabrics? Yes.

And Now For Something That Rocks (And Plays the Blues): Mark Evans

Last month, I ended up making the disappointing discovery that one of my longtime heroes was not at all worthy of the title. I really don't like slamming people, and I'm still dismayed by what I found out about that person. I much prefer to talk about the times when I can say "this person really is cool." 

That is certainly the case with Mark Evans, who was the bassist on two of AC/DC's early albums. That Mark should not have been included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is unconscionable. I like and respect Angus and Malcolm Young, but for them to continue to bear a grudge against Mark after all these years for what amount to misunderstandings and youthful slips of the tongue, while drunk nonetheless, is ridiculous.

Mark is the real deal. He is a genuine, honest person with no huge, puffed-up ego. He's been through hell and back. He lost his eldest daughter in a terrible accident. She was killed by a truck while standing on a street corner in Amsterdam, making a call to her employer to let them know she'd be a little late to work.

Mark has written an autobiography. You can find out more on the Facebook page. Also, check out his site, Mark Evans Blues.

It's a much better feeling to be able to say "see, I knew this person was the real thing!" than to have to say "damn, I really got fooled with that one." Thanks, Mark, for being one of the best. Rock on!

Illsa's Illin' Movie Reviews: Imprint

Imprint is that rare thriller which manages to have a powerful impact without being overly gory. There is no gratuitous violence, no nudity, and even the harsh language is minimal. The protagonist is a strong yet flawed young Lakota lawyer who becomes a pariah when she prosecutes and gets a conviction against a boy from her own tribe. When she returns home to visit her sick father for his birthday, she begins experiencing frightening visions. 

It is wonderful to find a story where the strength lies in the tale itself: not in the special effects, not in the shock value, and, thankfully, not in exploiting the female characters. The filmmakers had integrity and a vision, and it shows.

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow: Full Album

If One Does Not Know Good, How Will S/He Do Good?


A profoundly simple concept, yet illustrating a truth that many seem unaware of.

Goodness is not according to your religion. Religion is simply a set of tenets to help people make decisions, and hopefully to help people live a righteous life. Religion can be used for good or evil. It can help people find their path to a closer relationship with the Divine, or it can delude people into thinking that they themselves are divine, and better than those who do not believe as they do.

Videos such as this one have relatively few views. People seek videos where others are exploiting themselves/being exploited, rather than seeking enlightenment. In today's world, many have lost their way. They are being taught to seek self-aggrandizement rather than spiritual fulfillment. This behavior is being modeled for them at every turn.

If one does not know good, how will he or she do good?

The answer is simple. It is time to teach the value of doing good for others. Stop worshiping empty values. Stop seeking glory for the self.

Iceland Forgives Population's Mortgage Debts


The crazy thing is, as I was driving this morning I was thinking how forgiving people who are in upside down mortgages or high interest mortgages their debt might very well boost the economy. I'm no economist but I know so many people who are really struggling. I don't currently have a mortgage but a lot of my friends and family are in a tight spot. This might well be one way to stimulate the economy. It's something to think about.

Abba Playlist

I like hard rock, I like horror, and I like...Abba? Well, as a matter of fact, yes. And here's a playlist to prove it.

Just like the Dancing Queen of song, I'm not picky about who I dance with. Dancing is only occasionally a vertical expression of a horizontal desire. In my case, it's usually an expression of a desire to have some completely non-horizontal fun that isn't even romantic. I'll dance with men or women, I'll dance with people who are related to me. I'm straight and don't have any incestuous desires. So don't believe every saying you hear to be 100% true for everyone.

Beck: BBC 4 sessions 2003


You know, I really don't like Beck. I hate listening to him and think he's a terrible musician. He's really got nothing on Justin Bieber.

If you weren't aware that I was kidding, you're a Loser.

Enjoy. I know I will.

Stick with Beck and Stay Where It's At

Enjoy this Beck playlist to stay Where It's At!

We Still Know Where Its At

L'Oreal: Good on Recycling, Bad on Animal Cruelty

Fine and good--recycling is always commendable. But it is my understanding that L'Oreal continues to test their products on animals. This is unnecessary cruelty and should cease immediately. I do not use L'Oreal products due to their decision to test on animals. Revlon ceased animal testing in the 1980's. L'Oreal should have followed suit long ago.

Vivisection is evil.

The Importance of the Right to Vote


On the eve of 9/11, and in this election year, it is vital not to become complacent about how important our right to vote is. These people faced danger in making the decision to vote, and polling places had to be protected by armed guards. They stood behind their decision and exercised the right to vote.

We must guard our right to vote in whatever country we may live in. We must never allow extremists to take that right away from us. If you are in the United States, as I am, take a moment to reflect on the privilege we have. Let us never allow this privilege to be perverted by those with extreme agendas.

Professor Phillip Tobias


There are no comments on this video, and so far I'm the only one that has "liked" it. This is a sad commentary on our society. People like Professor Tobias are the ones whose lives should be honored and celebrated. Instead we, as a collective, spend our time adulating attention seekers whose claims to fame are such things as releasing tapes of themselves involved in sexual activity, or boozing and drugging themselves into near coma.

Rest in peace, Professor Tobias. Your contributions to science will live on.

Cyberbully

I watched the 2011 film "Cyberbully" this morning. The movie had a happy ending, which often real life bullying situations do not. 

I had a hard time getting through this one. I don't know if I would have survived if there had been this additional avenue of bullying when I was a teen. As it was, I was bullied. One guy from another school, whom I had gone on a date with once, spread a rumor that he got me pregnant and I had an abortion. I was only 15. I was still a virgin. I remember him trying to grope me and me saying no. He didn't even get in my pants, let alone get me pregnant. But the rumors that I was a "slut" persisted.

I was a big girl (who turned into a big woman.) At five foot seven, I weighed 180 pounds in a world where any female who weighs over 120 is considered "fat." I had broad shoulders, moderately large breasts, a big butt, and chunky thighs. I didn't have the kind of big breasts that push straight out in front, I had the kind that spread to the side. If I wore a pushup bra, I'd have had cleavage up to my chin. I was modest, however, and tended to wear baggy shirts to hide my breasts. It didn't help much.

I had friends among the stoner crowd. The popular kids picked on me for my less than fashionable attire. My family wasn't rich. I couldn't believe how shallow these morons were, but it hurt anyway.

When I tried to kill myself, I did not get support from my mother. As I lay there in the E.R. with my wrists bandaged, she railed at me about how stupid I was for doing something like that and told me to stop looking for attention. The counselor at school gave me no help when I told her what was going on with me. She basically told me I needed to toughen up. 

I guess I was a lot smarter than I thought I was at the time, because I got through high school with mostly B's even though I was constantly ditching school.

While watching Cyberbully, there were times that I started breathing hard and my chest started to feel tight. I thought I was going to have a panic attack and felt like I might have to stop watching. I'm 45 years old, and all those feelings from those awful years came flooding back to me. In a way it felt like being raped (another thing that I have experienced) only on a psychological level. I remember feeling like trash, like I was worthless, like I deserved what happened to me.

To this day, I still have a lot of trouble believing in myself or my abilities. I still see myself as unattractive. I don't know if any of this will ever change.

I know that the filmmakers were trying to impart the message that violence does not solve anything, but the part of the movie where Lindsay the Bitch Queen and her Chief Bitch Crew are in the bathroom and Taylor (the bullying victim) comes in and they berate her for crying? I would have started swinging my shoulder bag at those cunts. None would have gotten away unscathed. I would have been suspended for school and I would suddenly have been the villain. But that is the way it would have gone down.

Bullying kills. Bullying also hurts many years after the fact. Bullying destroys lives. Isn't it time to put an end to this social evil? 

Remembering the Hudson River Miracle


Captain Sullenberger's cool head surely played a big part in bringing the plane down in the best situation possible given the circumstances.

Quick thinking saved the passengers and crew.

The rescuers insured that passengers and crew were brought to safety.

Here is the newscast, which helps to clarify.

Here is air traffic controller Patrick Harten. He is very professional, and also a kind-hearted person. The world could use more like him.

Here is Katie Couric's interview with Capt. Sullenberger. He is a true hero.

Here is the flight crew of 1549.

The passengers thank Capt. Sullenberger and the crew.

Why do I feel the need to share this? Because as Captain Sullenberger himself said at one point, people need hope. This incident provided hope. We are closing in on the eleven-year anniversary of 9/11, a tragic incident that none of us will forget. In my own way, I wanted to give people a reason to hope.

Best wishes,

Helena

Lost Worlds: The Real Dracula


I've still got a few post-birthday party stragglers, and guess what I want to do? Watch more history of Vlad Dracul! So that's what we're going to do together.

I'm a huge history buff. I love counseling, but sometimes I wish there was money in being a historian.

Vlad the Impaler


We are enjoying our Balkan history lesson this morning!

Dracula's Castle


We're taking a little break from editing my story, A Holiday Surprise for Adrianus, in order to do more research for Rose's story. Here is the real Dracula's Castle.

The Brain On Love

I have noticed that there is a huge difference between being with a man I can trust and being with my former partner, whom I couldn't trust at all. Dylan is always on my mind, in my heart, and in my soul. But I don't have to hold his image in my conscious mind constantly for fear that he might be gone if I don't visualize him all the time.

I don't wonder "does Dylan have some other guy over while I'm gone during the day?" I trust him and he trusts me. We aren't going to play games on each other. I had eight years of game playing, eight years of obsessing and pain, eight years of wondering, is Kent going to find someone better than me?

I knew he was looking for a piece of action on the side. I tried to pretend I was okay with that, but really I wasn't. He told me to "evolve," to not be a jealous bitch. I would have done anything to keep him. I did do anything--I compromised who I was and what I needed and wanted.

Finally, I was the one that told him to leave, even though it felt like someone had run a sword right through my heart. I cried on and off for eight straight hours after that. Sometimes it was just sniffling and soft, other times the tears gushed from me like a fountain. I did not date again for five years.

It's so different being with someone who has his shit together and knows what he wants. When Dylan says he's working, I know he's working. When he's spending time with his brother, I know he's actually with his brother, not off cruising bars for a piece. 

It's very true that you should never make someone your priority if you are only one of their options. I was the option that Kent figured he could come home to and I'd always be there waiting like a needy little boy. Don't let anyone do that to you.

With Dylan, I'm his foundation and he is mine. We can always depend on each other. We don't have to obsess on each other, because we have trust that's real.

Real love enhances happiness. Anything else is a lie. I lied to myself for eight years. Don't let lies destroy your chance at improving your life or prevent you from finding someone truly deserving of your love.

Love,

Adam

Romania: the Byzantine Commonwealth

 

I'm helping my good friend Rose LeMort with some research. She has a forthcoming book featuring two undead princes from a fictional kingdom near Moldavia and Wallachia. She wants to do further research for her next book, and I'm helping find useful information for her and entertaining myself in the process.

Front 242 - Moldavia (Live @ Gothic Festival 2007 Waregem)


I can't help it. It always comes back to Front 242 for great Euro-Electronica.

Pasha Parfeny - Lăutar - Moldova - Eurovision in Concert 2012


Now, he has kind of a snappy style.

SunStroke Project & Olia Tira


I really like the instrumentals (i.e. fiddle and sax). The vocals are a little too generic pop for me.

A Little Something For Illsa

I really try to avoid mean spirited humor. But sometimes someone disappoints you (or horrifies you) so much that something's gotta give. Parts of this post are really mean and kinda juvenile. So if you'd prefer to avoid that, ya know where to find the exit!

This one goes out to my chum, Illsa Gorrey. Sorry for the disappointing discoveries you made regarding your hero, Illy. Hopefully this rude little post will give you some further humorous perspective!

P.S. I was bummed by the awful truth too. But your hilarious rant split my sides laughing, Girl!

Back in the daze, things weren't looking too bad for these lads.

You can't deny when something has earned the title of "Classic."

Like a fine wine, some things just got better with time. Cheers, Bill! You Da Man!

On the other hand, there are some things that are, sadly, just awful by nature. Sometimes it takes a sip or two, but the vile attributes will find their way to the surface.

Genre Legend Michael Biehn Is Coming To The Alamo!

Like a fine bum wine, some things are just plain nasty to begin with and get worse the longer they're allowed to hang around. According to my great friend Illsa Gorrey, the pretty label came off this one fairly quickly when research revealed what his personality was like. That mug shot didn't help either. Not only would I kick that out of my bed if I found it in there, I'd probably call the exterminator!

Illy used to have a huge crush on this guy, but the more she found out about him, the more it was like drinking...

According to the Bumwine page on this heinous concoction:

"Known as "liquid crack," for its reputation for wreaking more mental havoc than the cheapest tequila.  Something in this syrupy hooch seems to have a synapse-blasting effect not unlike low-grade cocaine.

Everyone who drinks this feels great at first, and claims, "It's not bad at all, I like it."  But, you really do not want to mess around with this one, because they all sing a different tune a few minutes later.  And by tune, I mean the psychotic ramblings of a raging naked bum."

Judging by the guy's track record in the field of romance, this is the effect that he has on women.

That's arite, I'll just thank him for giving the Geek Multiverse the likes of Kyle Reese and Dwayne Hicks, and then I'll take my leave swiftly. Having my synapses blasted by syrupy hooch (or sleazy, coke-addled propositions) is not my idea of a good time.

You know what they say. You can put lipstick on a pig, and it's still a pig. In this case, the Deities put a pretty mask on a warthog. Then that mask came off and...holy shit! Not such a pretty picture after all.

Yeah, I wonder why they do it too! The Universe is just an asshole like that sometimes.

Things That Make Me Think I May Actually Be In Hell

When my housemate rips such a massive fart that I can hear it all the way on the other end of a 76 foot long trailer.

I'm living in a trailer. I have a housemate with farts so thunderous they rival the thunders of Thor's hammer.

What about this scenario says "not in hell?"

REM: Bang and Blame


If you could see yourself now, baby
It's not my fault

You used to be so in control

You're going to roll right over this one

Just roll me over, let me go

You're laying blame

Take this as no, no, no

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

Blame, blame, blame

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

 It's not my thing so let it go

 If you could see yourself now baby,

The tables have turned

The whole world hinges on your swings

Your secret life of indiscreet discretions

 I'd turn the screw and leave the screen,

Don't point your finger,

You know that's not my thing

You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

Blame, blame, blame

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

It's not my thing so let it go, now

You've got a little worry,

I know it all too well,

 I've got your number,

 But so does every kiss-and-tell

Who dares to cross your threshold,

 Or happens on your way,

Stop laying blame

You know that's not my thing

You know that's not my thing,

You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

Blame, blame, blame

 You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

It's not my thing so let it go

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

Blame, blame, blame

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,

It's not my thing so let it go

You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me,

You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me,

 You let go on me

 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rem/

R.E.M. Playlist

Here's an R.E.M. playlist to make me happy. It will make you happy too, if you like R.E.M. If you don't, then listen to something else.

I swear, if one more person acts like Michael Stipe's sexuality is a big deal, I'm gonna have to start swinging. Would my being straight make the news? No? And it shouldn't. That's really lame news. One day nobody will care if other people are straight, gay, or bi. That's how it should be.
