To live is to die
All truth is but a lie

To sleep is to wake
Genuineness is fake

To love is to hate
Chances are fate

Atheism is belief
Bliss is only grief

We call tyranny democracy
In this world full of hippocracy.

May 16, 2007 (Yahoo! India News) -- Rocker Marilyn Manson has named himself a 'vampire of love' who loves to prey on young women and craves to 'consume' them. The 38-year-old, who is dating young actress, Evan Rachel Wood, said that he always thought that his association with vampires is very obvious.

I'm one of those scientific types who don't believe in the supernatural so my first reaction was skepticism. However, because of my romantic streak, I really wanted to believe in the existence of vampires in all their supernatural glory. So I discussed this with a friend who has a degree in psychology. The question was: is it possible that there can be real, supernatural, blood drinking, classical vampires?

I have tried again and again to be happy,
And stay in this world of yours,
Not playing by my own rules,
But by yours,
Contained in self indulgence,
And behind heavy curtains I hinde behind a mask,
Known for it's intensity and madness,
Should I be amazing today?
Or that psychotic bitch that lurks behind every dark corner of your mind?
How about the happy liar, who smirks at your every distateful comment?
How about another day?
Can I be myself today?
Alone, staying here watching the world go by,

April 30, 2007 (Yahoo! News / GEORGETOWN, Guyana) -- A crowd of Guyanese villagers lynched an elderly woman they accused of being an evil spirit who drinks the blood of human babies, police said Monday. Authorities in the South American country said the woman raised suspicions with unusual behavior and was set upon by villagers who apparently believed she was an "Old Higue" — the equivalent of a vampire in the local Obeah religion that blends folk magic and African rituals.
