frugivorousness (fruitarianism)- 'tis the proper diet for humans and elves too. ask darwin (esp on the elves part /nod). look at basically every other primate's diet on the planet if you are too daft to accept this.(minimum of 2/3 fruit) fruit is magical energy given to us by its creator to nourish our entire being. it is the creation of the union of earth and sunlight together, thru a tree creature- trees being the most advanced life form on the planet.
every other food source involves killing something and interrupting its life cycle. think roots: (carrots and such)- the plant is pulled up before it goes to seed, thus never fulfilling its purpose, nor completing its life cycle. with fruit- we ASSIST in the life cycle of another life form, and that is pretty darn cool. does wonders for elevating consciousness.

Dislikes: lies. dishonesty. cowardice. lack of honour. passive aggression. conspiracy. abortion. lack of respect for differences. acting out of fear, judgmentalness, living without love. liars. ...casual sex, "free" love, people who fuck with my relationships with others and other people's heads. idle gossip, people who talk behind other's backs. all forms of socially condoned murder. puritans. people who are afraid of 'darkness' and shun it and therefore create it. being a chickenshit. people who are loyal to precepts and imaginary gods rather than to their very real friends. guys who have sex with really drunk girls or in any way take advantage of a woman's emotional state, or simply disconsider it, this includes rapists and guys who have sex with girls on the rebound. the roman empire- both its past and its present incarnation, the repression of the invidivual spirit. mind control. dominant realities that are enforced upon the populace. people who claim to be good and light but actually are just as or moreso manipulative as those they show disdain for and are in fact worse because they attempt to conceal it or are not even aware that they do it. when i care what others think of me. being numb. direct sunlight. oxygen hungry metals. destructive thought patterns, being messed up from past events which messes up my life, hurts me and hurts the ones i love; the fact that so many people stay away from those who are good for them and cling to that which is harmful just because they are familiar with it and afraid of something better- or feel so terrible about themselves that they likewise cling to pain, also those who do the opposite and run from the pain; when people are so trapped in the mind that they are unreachable. duality. stepping in gum or glass. ageism (the idea that me and a consenting female should not be fucking or even associating based solely on that she was born x years after/before me or that someone knows more then another simply based on how many trips they have taken round the sun), projective assumption (example- i am seen with younger female- people assume we are fucking/dating or some other crap- particularly hilarious when i am with my sister) the illegality of certain substances and practises that are victimless, laughing or smiling because it is socially appropriate (courtesy laugh) or anything 'socially appropriate' including the very concept of it- it is restrictive of free unhindered self expression. guys inappropriately touching my girl, when girls that one asks out give vague ambiguous answers rather than a definite yeah or no, when girls i am just being friendly with assume i am hitting on them and are unable to conceive that i am not after what is between their legs, the male as programmed by modern society, the female as programmed by modern society. people in general. the ridiculously tiny myspace windows for editing this. when i do not confront that which needs confronting. oh.. and the fact that girls get all the pretty underwear- guys underwear is boring.. i demand more exciting underwear! NUMBER ONE DISLIKE: in self- self doubt, there is nothing worse. it kills me. godhonestly nothing is worse then self-doubt. it creates the worst of everything. it is the destroyer of all that is helpful and real. in others: Lies- you all can just die now please, or better yet, live your life having to live with your cowardly snively stinking dishonourable selves- hah!.......also i dislike sticky complicated relationships of any sort- ones where control and fear are more of the exchange rather than love and acceptance. standardised spelling- i say if i can read what you wrote then it is spelled corektly! who cares what some guy named webster thought?....when people answer the phone when asleep or busy and then get upset with me for calling, rather than realising that they did not need to answer, people who try to force others to do anything- esp. men trying to control women and change them into something they do not truly wish to be, and i also dislike women who allow this to happen and then blame the men whom they permitted to do so. people wanting me to be anything other than what i am. ego. strong perfumes and colognes- if you smell too strongly i do not trust you for you are hiding something if you masque your smell so (i trust my nose). when my keyboard destroys my disk containing all the music i have made for the past 2 weeks and i have no backup. hard drive crashes. ground loops that create background hum. wiccans. body piercings. cheap chocolate. darwinian evolution. asshat kids who think they know it all and are buddhas. trying to reason with a paranoid delusional.
"what we are now comes from the thoughts of yesterday.
our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow.

..
nobody. go away. shoo shoo. other than that- i am okay with encountering honest, honourable, noble beings. faerie of every sort, dedicated to manifesting its reality, or simply finding the best place to keep the chocolate. faerie including but not limited to elves, piskies, boggarts, boggles, whisps, goblins, trolls, gnomes, and dwarves. no pookas allowed- unless you are a pooka, or know one, or have one following you that you cannot get rid of no matter how hard you attempt to do so. carry-on pookas are okay too, as are pocket pookas and backpack pookas, visible or invisible. ...emanating stars... faerie-friend humans who mend our broken wings with their kind and noble hearts and deeds. his noble majesty sir baron lord king biddliglumph pakkitaka mumumi artifice hurhoo the pooka the 437th, sovereign of all he cannot sleep thru nor remember, heir to the throne of her greatness baroness our lady queen idlibiddli goglishwish pookaboo the 133th, sovereign of all she cannot dream nor perceive. that one guy from that film that one year with that one girl who sings that one song and dances in that film. you know, that guy who does that thing. bitches, bastards, wankers, foobs and asshats. after all, those doinks are a hellatonna fun to mess with for mine amusement.
those who understand causality, or wish to learn about it.
people with some sort of integrity, who won't try to use one thing against me then do it themselves 2 days later. people who keep their word and are loyal to friends.
on the converse, people who refuse to change at all and stick obstinantly to things are also silly and can stay home, please. really i'd like to meet my mind so i can figure out who i'd like to meet. oh wait! this IS my mind. it is all i have to work with! what AM i going to do now?
mayhaps people who understand the depth and meaning of balance. once i meet you, we can sit at the beach drinking absinthe, then shoot of fireworks over tea while discussing the present problems of society or the scent of lilies.
and i would hellaluv to meet ivan doroschuk and david lynch and david bowie.
actually, i would only like to meet other taoists. if you are not a taoist, please fuck right off- unless you are a buddhist, christian, pagan, jew, muslim, atheist, agnostic, or something else entirely- in which case, we can talk. especially if you like wool socks.
i've never gone out of my way to meet anyone. i have full faith that anyone i need to meet or that needs meet me- will come my way, and sure enough, it happens. but that is just because i am so darned cool that i need seek nothing- it all comes right to my doorstep. well, either that or i am just lazy, and i do not give a pin which.
most people are not worth meeting anyhoo. i'd just as soon throw them to the wolves.
"when we realise that we have no ego, that ego or self is nothing but interdependence, that we are exactly and no more than the result of the influence of our environment, that in all this there is no room for a me, that our life is without permanent substance- then we are open to the dimensions of the cosmos, we can receive its energy and we can create.
open your hands and you will receive everything, even material things. don't be afraid; that is satori."- taisen deshimaru

the heart of every one of us begins to beat within 3 weeks after conception. this means that 1 week past the first day of a missed period- your child has a beating heart. s/he also has a 3-lobed brain at this time. this is easily researched biological fact. therefore all abortions stop a beating heart.
"we must courageously face the fact - finally - that human life of a special order is being taken (in the process of abortion) and since the vast majority of pregnancies are carried successfully to term, abortion must be seen as the interruption of a process that would otherwise have produced a citizen of the world. denial of this reality is the crassest kind of moral evasiveness." - dr bernard nathanson, founder of NARAL
my unborn child was put to death in december, 2004, just before x-mas. i was not told until october, 2005. it did not hit me until the end of january- my baby is dead. never to be known, never to be held. never to be seen. just fuckin dead and gone forever.
induced abortion is so against nature that our minds are simply incapable of dealing with it. that was the only thing a great tao master said when i mentioned it to him: "it is unnatural." damn straight. counters wu-wei like nothing other. i've never had my balance disrupted so. it utterly broke, and then hardened my heart. abortion is the most disturbing and unnatural act there is. and it is the single most self-destructive action a woman can ever take. nothing ruins mental, psychological, and emotional well-being as much as abortion. i watched helplessly a woman i loved go crazy because of it and watched myself go mad as well. i have seen the damage in many others. in addition, abortion on demand encourages irresponsible sexual behaviour, especially on the male's part. the modern male has degraded from being caring and responsible and raising a child of his seed, to pressuring a girl into abortion.
abortion hands you a lifetime tainted with sorrow and regret, fucked up minds, anger and hardened hearts. you cannot possibly know until you go there, and may you never know. ... your most precious diamond, lost forever.
if you were born after january 22 1773- you are lucky to be here. 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in abortion in the united states. your mother might have gotten upset one day, been in a fight with your father, thought "i just cannot have this baby right now," gone in to the nearest 'clinic' and in just 5 to 10 minutes, you are gone forever. you would not be here. your absolutely unique genetic code that makes YOU would have been forever annihilated for a mere 400 dollars. you would never love, cry, dance, or get to take part in the great myspace personals ad! no, you would not come back some other time in some other body- it would not be YOU. that whole idea is opium made to justify wrong action. and this is the case most of the time a woman has an abortion- scared, worried, alone, not thinking clearly. on top of that, in over half of all abortions she is being pressured by boyfriends, parents or 'friends.'
wake up! it is not about "choice." women have abortions when they feel they have no choice! like an animal who gnaws her leg off when caught in a trap...
women deserve a better world than this.
it is all about money. at 4000 abortions a DAY in the united states, the abortion industry earns $1,400,000 every DAY from abortions. tell me it is NOT about money. don't buy into their bullshit. take responsibility for your actions. do not kill your children.
Silent Scream - Slayer
Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death.
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.
Guidance, it means nothing
In a world of brutal time.
Electric, circus, wild,
Deep in the infants mind.
Silent Scream
Bury the unwanted child.
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn.
Shattered, another child
Bearer of no name.
Restrained, insane games
Suffer the children condemned.
Scattered, remnants of life,
Murder a time to die.
Pain, sufferaged toyed,
Life's little fragments destroyed.
Silent Scream
Crucify the bastard son.
Beaten and torn
Sanctify lives of scorn.
Life preordained
Humanity maintained.
Extraction termination
Pain's agonizing stain.
Embryonic death,
Embedded in your brain.
Suffocation, strangulation,
Death is fucking you insane.
Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death.
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.
Innocence withdrawn in fear.
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night.
no profile is compleate without a silly quiz section!
You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Winterborn (This Sacrifice)
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me, they will never see, the fear within our eyes
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.
And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born
Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
Although we are men with mortal sins, angels never cry
So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.
And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in God that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment...
I will not run, it is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
And in our Dying
We're more alive-than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winter born
Within this moment now
I am for you, though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter born
And in my dying I'm more alive, than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice for I am Winter born
tears - the cruxshadows
reaching out in deadened night,
emptiness by candlelight,
memory a haunted sea,
souring in sudden rage,
the damage plagued upon my love,
driven by this selfish urge,
to separate yourself from me,
but not the way you planned,
the gambit flow of shifting thought,
shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
and with each moment of despair,
lay to heart a lovely tear.
within each bulb the salty sea,
swims an ocean silently,
swims the forest of my dreams,
swims the essence of my being
come ringing back now,
(can't explain),
the measures swept away in pain,
hatred will i escape your grasp,
buried feelings let me pass.
i cannot kill this final flame,
the fire that once consumed my heart,
for hope must have some kind of fuel,
and chance must keep this fire.
reduced to ashes, we run colder on the outside. a spartan hope that dwindles near the source of this contempt. what has my hopeful certainty for the future returned upon my desperation and difficult memory, besides wasted moments, whose questions are not resolved? simple things went un-addressed until such time as they could only pass away. losing you shall forever mark my breast. Injury knows no justice.
swimming out with tears in my eyes
looking for the shore,
i hope that this is the last time...
i hope that this is the last time...

now stop reading my damned favourite movies and take it for what it is here for- PLENTY of suggestions as to something to do other than myspace. omg! git! visit your local video rental store NOW!..
"the most powerful weapon is called the TV and they say that's entertainment" (ivan d)television is the most prevalent means of mind control today. advertisement in all of its forms comes next. there is a reason television line-up is referred to as "programming." this is exactly what it is. funny how some things hide right out in the open, yes? myspace is much the same. watch the adds you usually ignore. think about what their constant presence does to your mind. note its state of purity upon bedtime.and with that- a few shows that have caught my attention over the years- i never watch while on the air, only the dvds
TWIN PEAKS- the best television series, ever. no contest.
i recently discovered a strong liking for "dead like me." the show kicks ass. taoist wisdom abounds. before that it was "ghost whisperer" and then again- last time i watched the entire 2nd season over a few days straight. i was told the writer of the show actually can speak with the departed, and after watching this show a while and seeing the insights into the psyche, i'd say there is something to that. after this i chain-watched all seasons of '6 feet under' which despite having waaaay too much onscreen kissing, which rain is repulsed by- were very good, and overall much worth the many hours of my life it took to watch them- it was all about the final episode. i liked the 2nd generation twilight zones. star trek was the win, voyager, next generation, deep space nine, original- for order of preference. twin peaks really was the shit tho, you cannot beat a buddhist director. nothin has even come close to touching it since, nor will it ever.
in the cartoon land i am partial to family guy and futurama- it's all about bender, baby!
rest of it is trash. sorta like myspace.
'the neverending story' by michael ende. everything by hp lovecraft and jrr tolkien. elfquest. the chronicles of narnia. the zen teachings of bodhidharma. everything by dr. suess, in particular "horton hears a who" - 'because a person is a person no matter how small' - that guy sure knew his stuff....and fox in socks. anything by pema chodron or his holiness the dalai lama (tho i heard that guy is a real wanker- tell him his old monitor sucks and he can have it back! (yes, i really do have his old monitor)). the tibetan book of the dead. 'einstein's universe' is a good one for forming a basic understanding of general and special relativity and i recommend anyone with any sort of intelligence approaching elfin read it!

"aborting america" by bernard nathanson, "pro life answers to pro choice arguments" by randy alcorn, "lime 5" by mark crutcher. read these for a reality check. for real- they are a double shot of espresso- bitter, but does the job. also check out any medical text on embryology. i recently picked up "the developing human" by moore and persaud.
"The Rat sculled smartly across and made fast. Then he held up his forepaw as the Mole stepped gingerly down. ..Lean on that!' he said. ..Now then, step lively!' and the Mole to his surprise and rapture found himself actually seated in the stern of a real boat...This has been a wonderful day!' said he, as the Rat shoved off and took to the sculls again. ..Do you know, I..ve never been in a boat before in all my life.'..What?' cried the Rat, open-mouthed: ..Never been in a--you never--well I--what have you been doing, then?'..Is it so nice as all that?' asked the Mole shyly, though he was quite prepared to believe it as he leant back in his seat and surveyed the cushions, the oars, the rowlocks, and all the fascinating fittings, and felt the boat sway lightly under him...Nice? It's the ONLY thing,' said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. ..Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolute nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
