Metamorphosis

Well, this was a blog right? Yeah, it was, but I had this idea that I ran past my sister so here it is. Her and I both will be posting here now with little bloggings as well as articles on fashion, music, art, whatever we feel like. Each article will have a category that it fits into and you’ll be able to view each article in reverse chronological order like any other blog, or you can select a category and just read those entries.

I haven’t posted in a while have I? Sorry about that. I’ve been kind of edgy lately and really stressed out. I think I’ve mentioned I quit my job at the cemetery. I’m glad I did but it’s made life a little more difficult money-wise. I’ll make it though. Other than that, not much has happened really except a good snow (you can view some photos I took here), and just working.

A Utopian Playland

My sister sent me a link on MySpace a couple of weeks ago pointing to “Dr. Steel”. I listened to the music on his page (which was eloquently described by Rue Morgue magazine as “hip-hop industrial opera”) and really liked what I heard, catchy yet unique. I didn’t really do more than listen to the songs for the first couple of days until I decided to venture further down the page.

Enlist in his army? Hmmm, I was curious.

(Now some back story.)

A couple of years ago I decided that I was a massive jerk and pretty much cut ties with all my friends. (As big a mistake as this was, it’s neither here nor there in regards to this post.) I set myself up to be totally alone. i worked seven days a week, slept, and worked more. That was it. During this time I really developed a certain dislike for people in general. Look at them all, I thought, annoying, angry, sad, and all with nothing to really cry about. Then I started reading the TSU forums and about Dr. Steel. Here were people having fun for fun’s sake, watching their language (mostly), accepting people regardless of age, financial status, race, sexuality, and religion. I thought it was a load of bull.

But it wasn’t. They were serious. But I can’t explain it well. All I can say, regardless of how silly it sounds, these people and there ideas kind of restored my faith in the fact that there are decent people out there.
