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.

Just kicking in a jam, working my way around learning to go by feel. so if somethings in the wrong place, it's not always on purpose. I accept instruction grudgingly, tolerate criticism if it's constructive and made with a kiss attatched, more later.

In the new blockbuster I Am Legend, virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the sole survivor of a man-made plague that has wiped out all of humankind -- and turned those who didn't die into creepy, vampire-like mutants.

James Riva claimed to hear the voice of a vampire in April, 1980, before he shot his grandmother four times with bullets that he had painted gold. He then tried to drink her blood from the wound in order to get eternal life. Finally, he set her corpse on fire. Carol Page documents his tale and includes her interview with Riva in Bloodlust: Conversations with Real Vampires.

Look up from your
cherry box,
smile upon my
saddened face,
whisper in my ear,
those things you want
to talk about.
I crawl away,
the times I was not
there,
shivering,
I speak out loud.
I don't wanna be here
It is too darn cold,
I just wanna be away,
to where is home.
To my home.
You hold me close,
my day brighter,
I think I might
smile a little more.
We dance under the moon,
the sky our audience.
I speak of truth,
the way we use to lie.
