Book of the Endless
Really, I don't know what I'll be putting in here. Maybe stories, maybe random thoughts, I don't know. I thing is, I'm sure as hell not posting personal things.
Musings on the darkness
Hey, what do you know, my first post of my thoughts. I don't know whether to be happy, or sad that I too have been bitten by the blog bug. Anyway, I think I'm trying to figure out my fascination with the darker side of things. It's not like I enjoy evil, or anything of such calibur (despite my continuing listeing to Cradle fo Filth. Damn they have some nasty lyrics), but rather my interest, and utter servitude to the forces of melancholy and the tides of despression. Shadow, not evil. When I'm not under the influence, I can intellectually understand it's attraction, but emotionally, I'd prefer to be happy and carefree. I just don't get it. Like n00b spelling. Then again, most of the time, my mood is at least a little tainted by the shadows. Like when I was at the fair with Akasha. He dragged me to the Ferris Wheel, which he obscenely enjoys, and just made me feel odd. A Ferris wheel is a couple thing, which just makes me feel bitter, and yeah...I was at a bloody fair. I should have been enjoying it, but no, the entire time after, even into the glass and mirror maze, I still had it lurking between my skin.

Now I'm just rambling. Right, gotta get back on subject.

On the other hand, when I am under the influence, it's the most satisfying thing in the world. I'm caught in it's grip, which is as neblous as fairy dust, but as binding as steel. It's allmost a special kind of high. Certain music just amplyfies it. It's not being depressed, like I was after my most recent failed love affair. I was depressed then. Not fun. This isn't fun either,but then again, it doesn't have to be fun to enjoy it. Whatever. I'm just goig in circles now. Until later.

    Dude! The fair was awsome! I went on the Inverter... and that actually hurt a lot.... >.<" But yeah, it was fun... The wheel was cool, and the notebook was awsome.. heart lol, think about it...

    I must be pretty damn wise.
    blaugh It's a special pain. The pain that you can grow off of and learn. My childhood was spent in it. Oops, said to much... I heart you!


    EDIT: look at the time.. I told you! Everything works out..

    Sometimes I've found the melancholic view of things to be a bit soothing- it's certainly peaceful, in its way. I used to compare it to the way it feels to be in the shade after a long day spent in the sun- a kind of salve to apply to the sun burn. It can also be fatiguing, sometimes, to be happy all the time- I usually slip into melancholic states when I'm tired, and fortunately I've learned to recognize this so that I can get some extra rest that night and it's usually gone by morning.

    But I still relish a state of mind which, while not exactly melancholy, is much more subdued than my more usual, cheerful state. I guess I'll call it sobriety. I have a specific playlist on my computer called "Callig," which is the sort of music that I'd listen to while concentrating on my calligraphy- I key my music to my moods as well, and this is the sort of thing that I'd like to listen to when I'm being somber. The songs on this list are serene, fulfilling, sometimes regretful, balanced, and serious. They don't always have words, but I am fond of Gregorian chants, and with some of the Japanese music that I have they might as well not have words since I don't always understand them. It's all about the feeling of the music; the voice is simply another instrument of expression, whether it's using words or just sounds. This feeling of sobriety is like a very serious, refined, and measured look at the state of the world around me, and I find it to be soothing and sobering (hence the name). It's what keeps a shiny happy glitter-oriented person like me from going too fluffy... Or so I hope.^_^
