Avoiding people who write LONG
lists with no paragraphs...or have such a bright, busy background on their page it could trigger a migraine - (edit it opaque, dammit)
Living my life for Art.
Memorising poetry for my own pleasure, Art,
Sex & Violence, Literature, Poetry & Corsets,
Blood & Passion...the Heian Period of Japanese culture, History, the Elizabethian Era &
World Domination under MY EVIL EMPIRE HAHAHHAHAHHA!
'Everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned.The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity...' W.B Yeats
I like to walk through each day with a 'Time Machine'
filter on the world - i.e everyone can be an amusing, interesting, picturesque personality if they're wearing 17th century clothing.
Not exactly a fantasy world, rather an efficient and
fun method of NOT randomly encasing idiots in concrete...
I don't need the reflected validation of the physical presence of the individuals who have moved or inspired
me...plus most of em are dead...
...having said that, I might enjoy meeting Elizabeth
Bathory and complimenting her on her taste and technique...but she's dead! See?!
Winston Churchill has always inspired me. He went from
shit to greatness several times in his life - a very
talented artist & pragmatist who navigated chronic depression. He moves me...and he's DEAD too!
Maybe there's a theme here...
'About suffering, they were never wrong, the Old Masters. How well they understood the human condition...'
Mine. I'm the Lead Guitarist for MT-TV, a nine woman band who are seriously addictive.You want to know more then go to:
THE 20th C Art form...from obscure European underground shorts like 'Aftermath', to satirical Sci-Fi 'Starship Troopers...from the ORIGINAL DAMMIT 'The Wicker Man' to 'Brick', 'Hard Candy, 'Tombstone', 'Dogville', 'Dune' and 'Spirited Away'...I love films.
DON'T get me started on this crap...except for DEADWOOD which is total Shakespeare and the best thing ever, ever, ever.
House. Nip/Tuck,Dexter,Six Feet Under before it turned to shite.And those programs where animals turn on humans which make me laugh like a drain...
I.Do.Not.Watch.Reality-TV...
I.Have.A.Life...

'Those who in their lives fought for life, and wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honour'. Stephen Spender.
