Think of a word, any word...Is it pretentious?
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
My life dances through tornadoes of my own devising. It's fun, despite inherent tensions. Breathing is worthwhile too, try it on! Failing that, coffee.

I've changed this because I can. Because the music I'm listening to now is more relevant to my temporal headspace. I am really enjoying a bunch of people making unpretentious noise, it takes me away from myself, pun intended.Albums I'm currently listening to (or waiting to receive in the mail) include, but are not limited to;Ef - Give Me Beauty... Or Give Me Death; 65daysofstatic - One Time For All Time; Caspian - The Four Trees; Nadja - Thaumogenesis; Dredg - El Cielo; Steve Von Till - If I Should Fall To The Field; Blood & Time - At The Foot Of The Garden; Ken Andrews - Secrets Of The Lost Satellite.You should check these out, chances are if you like me enough to visit this corner of the internet, you might like to visit theirs...
Fight Club still has the top spot.Pan's Labyrinth is up there even if disturbing. A brilliant metaphor for the gnosticism of human nature, how we create mytholgy to deal with our present circumstances and how our present circumstances are far more horrifying than he evil in fairytales.Neil Gaiman's Mirrormask does the same, but is rated PG and not anywhere near as disturbing, more like The Neverending Story. I would love to see the Sandman turned into a film. Or any of Neil Gaiman's other writings at that.Europa, Europa is also up here, a true story about a Jew surviving through wartime Germany. And it has some great heart warming humour, reminding us we're all human even at the worst of times. If you don't believe me, watch it.Oh, and The Princess Bride/Pirates of the Caribbean. They're really the same story because they romanticise pirates. Not as classy as ninjas, but more romantic and if there's anything I am, it's friggin' romantic. Duh.Yes, I like stories, its thematic.
TeeVee is silly and I can't think of an appropriate use of such.
Currently: Eugene Peterson - The Message; Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov; Haruki Murakami - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; Thomas Wharton - The Logogryph; Neil Gaiman - Fragile Things Murasaki Shikibu - The Tale of Genji; Miguel Cervantes - Don Quixote; Jean Paul Sartre - Nausea.Comics are good too, I've been enjoying reading Slaine. It's like Conan tackling gender issues in SF.Oh and always, always Neil Gaiman - The Sandman.Reading and writing, get into it. One day I'll even be able to put my own work in progress up here for self gratification/exposure purposes. Heck, if you've read this list, you probably read books too, fingers crossed...
THE Jesus, Judas, my parents, my friends. If you're one of my friends (you're probably not my parents), I guess that makes you a hero of the same calibre as both Jesus and Judas and as contrastingly ineffable and falible. Indubitably, concurrently.
