The adventures of the scumbags continue.  One of these days we're probably going to get in some trouble :/    Anyway, yesterday in class we discussed Euripides briefly.  Teacher said how he was not really recognised during his time, and that this is not necessarily an indicator of the quality of your work when it comes to any field.  He mentioned ( Read more... )

I grow quite fond of the reactionary process that happens in me when I am elucidated and enlightened in regard to how I could improve things.  (It reminds of Nietzsche saying that you must have discourse with only your equals and your superiors, nothing less.  That is very judgmental. NEVER do such a thing, especially if you are my superior ! ) It ( Read more... )

At this moment more than ever I understand why pity is a weakness.  It's a hassle and it tears at you inside, although only minimally.  When you see others wallowing in the naivetés and neophytisms of their dabblings, you want to say, "No! Think this through for a moment, let me show you something else."  Of course, you don't go around life doing ( Read more... )

Oh no, tickets to the stupid fest are 200 bucks...?! The only band I even know from the line-up is CC... I guess I'm not going at all. Unless you can get a one-show entry, but I doubt it. Fuck.  I was having a good day until this, and I also discovered a hilarious vid while looking for rare Absurd live footage on ytube:

The ONA are on Fagbook.  Now I'll never consider giving them a second chance. Way to oppose the "mundane" and the "status quo", eh ( Read more... )

Na súa historia "Purity", Thomas Ligotti di que hai tres obstáculos para a puridade verdadeira: a familia, os países e os deuses.  Sendo a nada a manifestación de deus, non pode ser verdade.  Coido no absoluto - o ain soph, o baleiro total, na trinidade do ausente universal.  Sobre os países... me fai lembrar do idiota coñecido como John Lennon e ( Read more... )

Por fin teño eu visto o dvd da ópera de O Ocaso dos deuses dirixida por Boulez.  Moi moi xenial; a súa obra máis grande do Anel - e iso xa é dicir algo.  Ademais de isto, eu non fixen moita práctica, lectura ou calquera actividade que pague a pena.  Moita improdutividade faime sentir... culpábel.  Quizá tamén abandone este meu xornal.  Non ten ( Read more... )

I think devotion to art must be part of the survival instinct, especially from a historicist point of view.  I started reading like a junkie again, and also started reading The Temptation to Exist again (I didn't finish it before because I had to give it back to the library, but now I have a better copy than theirs, and that's what they get for ( Read more... )

Why do some people end their own lives?  I think I know.  I don't believe in such a thing as fate, but I think self-destructors are "fated" to be... I think that inside them, unlike most other people, there is a black undergrowth.  It is an unwelcome part of their very being; a lurker.  I don't know if it can be triggered, or if no matter what, it ( Read more... )
