"Sit down before facts like a child, and be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses Nature leads, or you shall learn nothing."
-T.H. Huxley-
"Thou glorious mirror, where the Almighty's form Glasses itself in tempests; in all time,- Calm or convulsed, in breeze, or gale, or storm, Icing the pole, or in the torrid climb Dark-heaving - boundless, endless, and sublime, The image of eternity, the throne Of the Invisible"
-Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Byron-
"I love humanity, but I hate people."
-Edna St. Vincent Millay-
Hi, my name is Matt and I have a mix of philosophical views that have been validated through my own personal experiences. I study various texts on the left hand path and philosophy. For I'm a very observant person by nature and try to learn from my mistakes in life to become more knowledgeable. To make it simple, my goal is to improve on my weakness's in all aspects of myself personally and knowing of the world; to know thyself. As above, so below.
For the sayings, "Knowledge is power" and "Survival of the Fittest", is so true in so many ways.
The aesthetics of nature is something so "pure." Me going on a days walk in the street or woods is a way for me to connect, to think, to be "one" with the natural world.
As I'm always trying to find new ways to make everyone laugh. Even though I am mostly identified as an enigma, give it a case or not, the majority of people do not understand me at moments and my jokes.
I am very kind to most individuals by acquaintance; that is if you're respectable and honorable. If not, you will find to your dismay that you are now a waste and lost in the winds of time.
I prefer to be in relationships with people on a deeper level more than just a superficial one. Someone who is open minded and trustworthy. A person who you can talk seriously with; unlike a mass percentage of the herd who is craves "drama" and is guided by the media.
I like intellectuals and motivated individuals who see through the illusions of what is meant to keep the ingrates and minuscules enslaved. Consumerism is a curse and a tool.
Goals would have to be at the top of my list, without that simple concept I would be nothing in the material world. I mostly prefer isolation when working to clear my mind and achieve the intent.
I'm an avid writer in rhetoric/inquisitive proses and poetry. My scripts are of hedonism and metaphors, but always inlay my own personal morals.
Playing the guitar is also one of my greatest passions. Metal, Blues, R&B, or any type of rock in general.
Right as I speak, I am in complete and utter bliss from my girlfriend Donna. She is of a crimson rose blossoming with the fullest tincture of love and zeal. Thus she is my pursuit to happiness.
Even though my explanation seems thorough, it doesn't even explain half of what I am; words and actions never will. The core is simply of the "I" or should I say the present! For I'm only a perception; a pawn in reality. I am what I make!
I've programmed and manipulated my rationale to serve me better at given situations . Observinng, Accepting, and Adapting is what has shown me so, a facet of truth if you will. Obstacles and challenges is only a determining of ones worth to me... nothing more, nothing less!
Forever amidst the shadows of man will there be darkness encumbered. For exploring and then extrapolating these abysmal voids will one find such sincerity.
Tat tvam asi!
Thou art that!
Regards!
I am a Vampire.
I am a loyal member of the Temple of the Vampire.
I aspire to be worthy in the eyes of the Undead Gods Who rule the Temple.
They expect me to not advocate or involve myself with crime or physical blood drinking.
They view blood drinkers as self-deluded at best and mentally unbalanced at worst.
Crime is commonly associated with such practices and is therefore rejected by Them.
They view crime as a confession of personal weakness.
They view mere “energy†drinkers as incomplete.
True Vampirism requires the completion of the Lifeforce Circuit with the Undead Gods.
Anything less is meaningless and ephemeral in its value.
The Temple is unique.
This is the only true Vampire religion in the world.
The Temple of the Vampire remains the only authorized public access to this religion.
www.vampiretemple is the only authorized Temple internet connection.
The Temple does not recognize any other person or organization claiming to be Vampire.
Do not be fooled

Anders Manga "The Mercy Seat"
It began when they come took me from my home And put me in Dead Row, Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. And I'll say it again I..am..not..afraid..to..die.I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields, A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood.And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this weighing up of truth. An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die.Interpret signs in catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog. The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind. They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath gathering at my hindI hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger Died upon the cross And might I say it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm toldLike my good hand I tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold. Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away.Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D. 'Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that rebel blood.And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is burning And I think my head is glowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this weighing up of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is glowing And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this looks of disbelief. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof Nor a motive why.And the mercy seat is smoking And I think my head is melting And in a way I'm helping To be done with all this twisted of the truth. A lie for a lie And a truth for a truth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is melting And I think my blood is boiling And in a way I'm spoiling All the fun with all this truth and consequence. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A life for a life And a truth for a truth And anyway there was no proof But I'm not afraid to tell a lie.And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth But I'm afraid I told a lie.

"Silence is Golden"
"To travel in silence by a long and circuitous route. To brave the arrows of misfortune and fear neither noose nor fire. To play the greatest of all games and win, foregoing no expense is to mock the vicissitudes of Fate and gain at last the key that will unlock... the Ninth Gate."
-Order of the Old Ones-
-The Grimoire of the Necronomicon, Donald Tyson-
A group based on ritualistic magic from Lovecraft's mythology.
"The unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred . . . a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous things whispered".
"Some of the Master's Affairs" is Morgantown's Rocky Horror's shadowcast, with me contributing to the roles of Eddie and Dr. Scott.

So with singing hot patootie rest my soul, I really love that rockin roll!... Come down to lab, to see what's on the slab! For the creature of the night is wild baby!
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreans--we know well enough how remote our place is. "Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreans": even Pindar1, in his day, knew that much about us. Beyond the North, beyond the ice, beyond death--our life, our happiness...We have discovered that happiness; we know the way; we got our knowledge of it from thousands of years in the labyrinth. Who else has found it?--The man of today?--"I don't know either the way out or the way in; I am whatever doesn't know either the way out or the way in"-- so sighs the man of today...This is the sort of modernity that made us ill,--we sickened on lazy peace, cowardly compromise, the whole virtuous dirtiness of the modern Yea and Nay. This tolerance and larger of the heart that "forgives" everything because it "understands" everything is a sirocco to us. Rather live amid the ice than among modern virtues and other such south winds! . . . We were brave enough; we spared neither ourselves nor others; but we were a long time finding out where to direct our courage. We grew dismal; they called us fatalists. Our fate--it was the fullness, the tension, the storing up of powers. We thirsted for the lightnings and great deeds; we kept as far as possible from the happiness of the weakling, from "resignation" . . . There was thunder in our air; nature, as we embodied it, became overcast--for we had not yet found the way. The formula of our happiness: a Yea, a Nay, a straight line, a goal...
-The Antichrist, Friedrich W. Nietzsche-
A man's life is a river but what is a river? Is it the water which flows over rock and dirt, changing from moment to moment, or is it the riverbed over which the water flows, which changes also but over a much longer period of time. If the water is diverted, the river dries up and a new river is formed. Can that which never existed die? Can it spend eternity in bliss or in torment? Can it be reincarnated in another form? It cannot be said to die if it never existed. Only the consciousness which enlivened it exists. When consciousness is cut off by the end of flesh, it is diverted elsewhere creating new life. There is only consciousness and it is without end.
-The Demonic Bible 4th Ed, Tsirk Susej-
"He never tires, never hungers; knows no fear, tells no lies; feels no pain, knows no secrets. And what is man except a being at war with himself? But not Blade. He has no hidden motives, no secret self. He is purely and perfectly what he is. In fact, I think the world would be a better place if we were all like him."
-Dr. Magrew, Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)-
"There's another self inside; a true or more natural self. A creature of violence, with no fear, no conscience. A killer. You spend your whole life battling the self that lives inside. And what happened today, though just for a moment, you lost that battle. The real you, the true you, came out."
-Dr. Magrew, Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)-
The darkest souls are not those which choose to live within the hell of the abyss, but those who choose to break free from the abyss and move silently among us.
