“REQUIEM”

© 1976 – Anne Rice

from “Interview with the Vampire”

"How many vampires, do you think, have the stamina for immortality?

They have the most dismal notions of immortality to begin with…

For in becoming immortal, they want all the forms of their lives to be fixed as they are, and incorruptible: (for instance…)

· Carriages made in the same dependable fashion,
· Clothing of the cut which suited their prime,
· People attired and speaking in the manner they have always understood and valued…

When, in fact, ALL things change except the vampire!

Everything, except, the vampire is subject to constant corruption and distortion!!!

Soon, with an inflexible mind – and often even with the most flexible mind, this immortality becomes a penitential sentence in a madhouse of figures and forms, that are hopelessly unintelligible and without value…

One evening, a vampire rises, and realizes, what he has feared for perhaps decades – that he simply wants no more life, at any cost…

That whatever style, or fashion, or shape of existence, made immortality attractive to them – has been swept off the face of the earth…

And nothing remains to offer freedom from that despair, except the act of killing…

And that vampire goes out to die…

No one will find his remains…

No one will know where he has gone…

And often no one around him – Should he still seek the company of other vampires… no one will know that he is in despair.

– He will have long ago ceased to speak of himself or of anything.
– He will vanish…"

who are we then
a moving dancing
clock-punching
homo-sapiens
a whimsical drone
filled with pillow fantasies
and electronic boogie

conceived
born
milk weaned
socialized
trained and labourized
insured and buried
from womb to tomb
just a 9 to 5 energy slave
not far from the club and grunt

an organized
mechanized
fleshy
evolutionary
organism
for putting food
and information
in one end
and giving out sex
and waste
with the other
filled with the jolts
ritual minutiae
of our life

do we dance
in the dream
of our narcosis
to the subtle
cacophonic symphony
of our desperation

are these air dreams
and ice halls
the heart and hearth
of our existence
is there another world
amidst the rakish
rectitude of our lives

there among the kiosk porticoes
of our city life
right there
just beyond
the labile mist
of memory

look a new birth
in the womb
of the world
filled
with cosmic energy
and intelligence

there
in the alembic heart
of our being
where one encounters
the solstice and equinox
of the divine

resting there silently
then moving out
into this labyrinth
called life

out again
onto the pulsing sidewalks
of the city
to struggle
like inspired beings
with the conundrums
and enigmas of life

out among
the dragons
gargoyles
harpies
then while journeying
through the spirals
cupolas
pagodas
of existence

rise up
and transform
the mire
rise up
create love with angel fire

DEMENTIA

Ah, my beautiful Dementia,
She was such a lovely girl,
I remember Her all to well…

Her eyes were wild,
The colour of hell,
One look could freeze your soul…

She danced like a child,
And when She smiled,
Her teeth were sharp and bold…

Her lips were red,
Her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold…

Her skin was white as leprosy,
A Nightmare “Life-In-Death” was She,

Who thicked your blood with cold…

HETEROSEXUAL QUESTIONNAIRE

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and how did you decide you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?

4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

6. Do your parents know that you are straight? Do your friends and/or roommates know?

7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?

8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

9. Why do heterosexuals fell so compelled to introduce others to their lifestyle?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?

11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to please each other, being so anatomically different?

12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships between heterosexuals?

13. Statistics show that lesbians have the lowest of sexually transmitted disease. Is it really safe for a woman to maintain a heterosexual lifestyle and run the risk of disease and pregnancy?

14. How can you expect to become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?

15. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

16. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that (s)he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his/her own orientation?

17. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you change if you really want to. Have you ever considered aversion therapy?

18. Would you want your child to be heterosexual, knowing the problems (s)he would face?

OMG! LOL!!!

Okay folks...

In regards to my last post about the "American Vampire League" - I have discovered something that is so completely uproarious, I still have blood-stained tears of laughter streaming down my face!

Apparently the AVL link and all the links that follow in in this posting are all part of an absolutely brilliant promotional blitz by HBO to promote a new show premiering on September 7th, 2008 called "True Blood", (I think).

Anyway, here are the other links for this super clever promotion...

The Bloodcopy Home page - the videos ALONE are well worth it! Hee hee!

The TrueBeverage home page - again, too funny for words! (You'll have to sign in with your birth date as follows: Month / Day / Century)... Then watch the "advertisement" and laugh until you puke! LOL!

Well, enjoy. And always remember to Live, Laugh and Love - no matter WHAT happens or tragedies befall you. Your time on this plane of existence is limited, while mine has just begun!

I'm only 342 years old - a fledgling amongst "our" kind. I have eons before I either go insane and am put to death by the "Council of Elders", (those who have lived for no less than a millennium), or just decide to end it all by going into the sun - even that may not do it - it is not an easy thing to destroy us unless we're really young - and even then, it depends on the strength of your "maker". LOL!

AML,
~D~

PS: Hope y'all are enjoyin' my new blog as much as I love to find interestin, and funny stuff to post. If you don't, well then "Stake 'mah heart and nail my lid shut" as they say down South. LOLOLOLOL!!! >:-)

PPS: EVIL IS AN ART FORM!

Vampires and Blood

Vampires and Blood
(Anonymous Author)

I am,
In your subconscious,
Ever present, often ignored,
But there.

As surely as That which is the carrier,
Of Life, nea Immortality,
Flows through your body:
I am.

I am,
He who Feeds,
On the warm, red, elixir of Life,
I drink.
I, that dread nosferatu:
I come to you, knowing your need.
I am energy,
I am sex, lust, desire:
I, Carnality,
Bite the flesh, drink the Sacred Liquid.

When the great globe of burning, aging,
Ultraviolet radiation has gone,
Leaving behind the teeming billions to rest.
I arise.

My day is your night,
I stalk,
Those who will satisfy my need.
They scream, they beg, for mercy:
I must survive.
I drink.

I am Power.

Know that this treatise be true,
I am watching you even now.
I see your eyes reading this page,
I look, and see the blood pulsing through your jugular,
Waiting for my cold, fetid breath on your neck,
The sharp, momentary pain, as my fang pierces,
The Joy, in giving yourself to me.
Know that this be true, for I am,
And Vampires Are…

Scary Pranks

Now those of you who know me - know that I LIVE to play practical jokes on people. This happens to be one that I wish I had thought of, but is HILARIOUS nonetheless. Enjoy...

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what "they" call it the "other side." Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like the “other side”. That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that.

DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

SADDAM HUSSAIN: His was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

KEN STARR: I intend to prove that the chicken crossed the road at the behest of the president of the United States of America in an effort to distract law enforcement officials and the American public from the criminal wrongdoing our highest elected official has been trying to cover up. As a result, the chicken is just another pawn in the president's ongoing and elaborate scheme to obstruct justice and undermine the rule of law. For that reason, my staff intends to offer the chicken unconditional immunity provided he cooperates fully with our investigation. Furthermore, the chicken will not be permitted to reach the other side of the road until our investigation and any Congressional follow-up investigations have been completed. (We also are information to the Rev. Jerry Falwell, alleging the chicken to be homosexual in an effort to discredit any useful testimony the bird may have to offer, or at least to ruffle his feathers.)

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook-and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.

EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken?
Could you define chicken please?

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

What Will The Future Hold?

Just some scary observations I had recently… When I was much younger, around 7 or so, (I’m now 42 – you do the math!), everything was much simpler and easier to understand… Cigarettes cost $0.50 per pack, a single slice of pizza was about the same, petrol or gasoline, (depending on where your from), was about $1.00 a gallon (or LESS!), and the price of oil was maybe $25.00 a barrel at most. Shopping at the supermarket was cheap – you could feed a family of four with about $50.00 per week if not less.

Gross obesity was virtually unknown as were most of the “disorders” we are currently bombarded with through television commercials which urge us to “see a doctor and ask about so-and-so pills, medication, therapy, etc.

Well, you all know what we’re paying these days for what used to be the simplest things… Cigarettes are over $8.00 per pack, a slice of pizza is about $2.00 if not more, petrol / gasoline is quickly reaching $5.00 a gallon, oil has skyrocketed way over $100.00 a barrel, (I think you can see where I’m going with this…). There is also now a global grain shortage – rice, wheat, barley, corn, etc… which has raised the prices of beer and alcohol considerably – STOP THIS HORROR!!!

I decided to average out the percentage of rising costs, (which came to about a little over 7.5% per year over thirty years), and figured what we and our children would be paying at the end of the next thirty or-so years to come. By the year 2040, (and I hope I’m long gone by then – LOL!), I have estimated the following…

Cigarettes, if still legal, will be about $120.00 per pack, if not more.
A slice of pizza will be over $15.00 if the grain shortage continues
Petrol / gasoline will be about $125.00 per gallon
A barrel of oil will be about $2,700.00
My precious beer will be about $180.00 for a 6-pack of 12oz bottles!!!
Feeding a family of four will cost well over $11,000 per week
I didn’t even try to figure out basic necessities like electricity, gas, telephone, water, etc.

On top of all that and more, just add in most people being obese and/or medicated – our little, blue, trailer-park of a planet will be ripe for the picking by hostile governments or maybe even otherworldly aliens!

We’re all doomed! Doomed I tell you! DOOMED!!!

The U.S. government can see me shit or piss in my own bathroom with their high-tech satellites, but they can’t find Osama bin-Laden! They can spend well over $6,000,000,000,000, (yes that’s Trillion!), on a war they can not win, yet allow our wounded veterans to slowly starve to death on our city streets, (amongst the other horrors and injustices they must endure), and let our children fall so far behind educationally that some third-world countries can actually compete for outsourcing jobs.

The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, our blessed rainforests are being depleted just as quickly, many species of earth’s inhabitants are extinct or close to it, including humans, (please note all the horrible bacteria’s, diseases, plagues and viruses that have reared their ugly heads – either again, or for the first time during the last three decades… AIDS; hundreds of types of Cancers; Cholera; Ebola; that nasty, “flesh-eating” thing; Herpes; Measles; Salmonella; Tuberculosis; West Nile and-so-on-and-so-forth; etc.). Our greatest pollinating resources – namely Bees and Bats are dying off by the millions – causing these major food shortages. NOT to mention all the recent natural disasters our over-populated planet has endured in recent years: Droughts, Earthquakes; Floods; Cyclones/Hurricanes/Typhoons; Mudslides; Tornadoes; Tidal Waves/Tsunamis; Volcanic Eruptions; Wild Fires as well as the mass genocide of entire populaces, and NOW we’ve only just begun to “go green”!

The United States is the only country in the free world WITHOUT universal healthcare! Sure; all the citizens in other countries pay higher taxes; up to 50%). Would that not be worth the extra money you would pay in taxes knowing that no matter what happens; you and your loved ones would be well taken care of?

Anyway; I am done ranting and raving. I hope I have given you some food for thought – that may just be ALL you get to eat before you slowly die a horrible and painful death because of the US government.

From Dante's "Divine Comedy: Inferno"

“Through me you pass into the city of woe:

Through me you pass into eternal pain:

Through me among the people lost for aye.

Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:

To rear me was the task of power divine,

Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.

Before me things create were none,

save thingsEternal, and eternal I endure.

All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Such characters in colour dim I mark'd

Over a portal's lofty arch inscrib'd:

Whereat I thus: Master, these words import.”

Dante Alighieri – ‘The Divine Comedy’
