Touching Heaven In Sleep (from my old Livejournal)

I had a weird experience in my dreams last night. I wouldn't call it a spiritual experience (and certainly not a religious experience) because I amn't permanently changed by it or anything but it was thought provoking.

I was dead and being a ghost in this upper realm type thing, and any time you're tired of being a ghost you can go upstairs and move on to the next world.

You know how when you're asleep your dreams can trigger off emotions the same way as life does?
Fear, Happiness, Sadness, Love... the full spectrum...

Well, when I finally went upstairs there was this bright light shining through the clouds and in a few seconds I was drifting towards it I felt TOTAL divinity run through my entire body, it was so euphoric and the closer I got the stronger it got like a light shining brighter, spreading through my entire body. All in about 3 seconds I was touching the Realm of the Lord.
As I was drifting (same 3 seconds) I looked down through the clouds at the world and I wondered what would happen if I went there instead of into the light and if I tried to see what it was like would I get another chance to go up later...

...I started falling, falling to the ground, through the ground and into the fiery pit, just for a second, then I woke up staring at the wall, I felt like Satan was behind me.

You know the expression "Get ye behind me Satan?"
I'd say it's the last place you want him to be, you can't see what mischief he's getting up to and you'll be too scared to look behind you and check.
Keep him where you can see him.

I have never been a believer in religion, and certainly not heaven or hell, however Steve, my band mate, likes the symbolism of Jesus as a saviour and Satan as he who tempts us to stray from a richeous path. I think my dream was merely symbolic, but I'd give anything to touch the realm of the Lord once again.

The Postmaster

A lot of my email keep bouncing, I get this postmaster-delivery-error type message. Sometimes I wonder who the “postmaster” is and where the emails are coming from.

I like to think he is this big king that sits on a throne of paper machete letters on a hill of envelopes. His robe is lined with first class stamps and his golden scepter has “postmaster” engraved on the top. He lives in cyberspace and looks at everyone’s email, except the ones say “enlarge your penis,” he’s tired of looking at those ones.

Oh postmaster where art thou?

Does Love Exist?

This is something I have been pondering particularly over the last couple of moths, but certainly for at least a year.

Of course I mean the concept of being “in love,” not the attachment for friends and family, the bond and love for their individuality and sheer being.

Is being “in love” something unique or just the right combination of lust, friendship, thinking a personality is beautiful and enjoying the time spent with them?
Are these two descriptions one and the same?

I know that in the past I’ve believed I was in love, I’ve had butterflies in my stomach just thinking of someone, but these feelings would fade over time (be it months or years) and I haven’t had butterflies for about four. Still though, this doesn’t negate the fact that those feelings actually existed. I certainly would have gone to the ends of the world for these people, but would I not do the same for those I feel the “other” kind of love?

I always consider that I am desensitized to these emotions, much like other things, and I have reasons to think this true.

If you say “I don’t believe in love” to the wrong people the will take in unkindly. “But I AM in love!” their minds will moan and they’ll make it their mission to convince you with their experiences of pain and sacrifice or unequivocal joy.
Could they be trying to justify their lust, or are they merely hurt at the thought that someone could think that all their strong emotions tied to a person are nothing but that, strong emotions.

I certainly don’t believe in the concept that there is a special person destined for everyone and love is forever, otherwise we’d all be in perfect relationships.
A married friend recently told me she thinks when you love someone it’s only in the beginning, the you just become accustomed to being with them. My hope is that one day I meet someone magical, and after the spark runs out she will be like my best friend with benefits, perhaps my wife and even the mother of my kids.
In fact, further down the line I would actually consider marrying some of my friends... watch out.

The Game of Life

Life is a funny old game,
It's like,
This person wants to spend their life with this person
And this person wants to spend their life with this person
And this person is sad coz they want to spend their life with that person
And some people spend their life wondering when they're going to be spending their life with a person when they're already spending their life wondering and maybe they should just make the best of the time they are spending

what quirks? list, and the describe in detail my quirks...



Space: The Final Frontier
Today I am wondering what is in the centre of our galaxy, is it some kind of super omega star that all the other starts orbit around?

The other thing I've been wondering is how far away the next closest galaxy is and thats why I have to form a star fleet of intergalactic monkey catchers, the plan is as follows:

Phase 1 -
Invent a way of travelling through space really really fast
Phase 2 -
Build a vehicle capable of long distance space travel
Phase 3 -
Produce a really long measuring tape
Phase 4 -
Use all above technologies to measure the distance from the edge and centre of our galaxy to that of our closest neibour.
Phase 5 -
Catch any monkeys that got loose in the process

I estimate this plan will take 6 or 7 years to complete, but the information aquired will be worth that wait.

16.35:
haven't you read my journal?
it's actually reached peak levels of nonsensical hilarity!

to break hearts
IDiedAtLakeBodom: the reason i had to go was because I was at work

It was stuck between his teeth!

I saw it manifest from the murky depths,
A bright little spark from the darkened steps
Alone I sat in wait for the flood
Alone I cried for the love and the blood
I do not know
I'm unaware
I do not ask
I do not care
I will not take a second true
To take the false away from you
It could be gleaming in my eye
It could just be pie in the sky
I do not know
I'm unaware
I do not ask
I do not care
There is no other pill to take
My eyes open, I'm wide awake
I do not know
I'm unaware
I did not ask
I didn't care

I just wrote that on the spot there, I didn't change anything coz I wanted to leave it spontaneous. Just letting your mind wander is grand.

Antelope




July 14th 2004
I Run Wild With The Antelope!
I think antelope are cool coz they have kind of trees sticking out their head, 
and they use them to fend off other antelope. One day all antelope will live in unison... 
haaaa actually they will sing in unison, they will live in unity, because I don't think it's actually 
possible to live in unison. It may or may not be possible for antelope to sing, if it is indeed 
possible then perhaps they will be able to sing in unison, but I suspect not. 
More research forthcoming.

The Antelope Have Failed Me!
I was very dismayed to discover that Antelope... don't actually have antlers
Unfortunately the have big horns, which... although they're pretty cool, 
are not (as I have said): "kind of trees sticking out their head"

Picture fourthcoming.
I am saddened.
