So, you think you know me? You really think you do. I know you are talking to me, but can i hear you?

November 8, 2008 (San Diego Union-Tribune / Peter Rowe) -- Zombies are red, vampires are blue. Whatever its challenges, the Bush White House has presided over a period of robust health for a genre that -- if history is any guide -- will soon fade: the zombie movie.

June 8, 2007 (Javno / Ivona Baric & Nenad Hervatin) -- The Austrian "Count Dracula" Hermann Nitsch and the geometry of bloodthirst on the mystery theatre orgies he conceived in his castle.

The mercury light of the streetlamp
Tints orange the images of my mind,
Its beam so strong against the night
So feeble against the darkness.

I remember the things which bring me pain;
So fast thoughts which bring joy fade.
Yet with the onslaught of time
More vivid are those of grief and guilt.

Fingers of the past clawing forward
To tighten their grip
On the mind which gave them birth.

Tethers of shame
Shrouding ever thicker
The heart of their gestation.

"No more!"
