Halloween 2001


<saltygirl> the coolest part is looting indian villages
<saltygirl> you get to smash their inferior culture
<saltygirl> and take all their gold!




and those who deny this world
is the soul of the unbroken one
lie
this is indeed Paradise
(come i shall show you where the stars give birth and sleep)
and all around you is the warm bluegreen breath of heavens
do not fear
around you is the vast blueblack space of stars
do not fear
this is the great ocean
on which the endless waves crash down
God is not dead
there is no death i say
(come i shall show you where dreams go to when they die)

hurry now; the sun is descending
the shadows wait to play


Halloween 2001

I cannot hang words on the silence
I didn't know there was a Dawn of the Dead tonight. It hadn't even occurred to me to check. It's frankly been a long time since I checked. 

Rude Awakening maybe doesn't know what it means that he ran that game tonight. All I can really say is I'm beside myself.
I'm sorry for doing another token update. I'll probably do one next month too, just to have a nice round four years and finally melt into the mountains. Check back though sometime just in case. 

Meanwhile, all I really want to say, is to thank Rude Awakening again for what he did, and also to Mine GO BOOM and anyone else who helped him with it. 

The song quote above is from Current 93. "This Shining Shining World" from the majestic and wonderful Of Ruine or Some Blazing Starre: The Broken Heart of Man. It just sort of seemed appropriate to post the whole passage instead of being clever and cute and only quoting a limited and cryptic bit of it, so I thought I'd break with tradition and actually give the source. Also because it's an album I think everyone should hear.
