Some Dates and Notes...

  • Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:32:06 -0700

    I dream of a day when I finally come home
    I see no more roads to roam
    One day I'll be where I can grow old
    One day I'll be where I don't... fear the cold.
    
    and I'm always moving
    Through body and mind
    
    The scenes always changing
    I wish I was blind
    
    Take me home where the body can rest
    I do believe I've passed the test
    The girls where many
    and the beer is gone
    I fear I've been here way too long.
    
    and the times are changing
    Though I feel the same
    
    The patterns are shifting
    People going insane
    
    I look around and shake my head
    The men with me should be dead
    Where we're going I don't care
    The smoke is curling in the air
    Time is all I have left
    What is it we all have kept
    
    The desperate are calling
    refusing to sleep
    
    The reaper is waiting
    there are souls to keep.
    
    The darkness curls all around
    To the never I am bound
    light the torch, hold it high
    one day they'll see I am right
    
    Scared of the cold, the women wail
    The men and their pride
    all will fail
    
    Some still have Illusions of wealth
    Most still live to satisfy the self.
    
    Mother nature weens us 
    may she have mercy
    wise and just
    
    The father waits
    the end of the test
    then I'll come home to rest
    
    But thats what I see from where I'm at
    feeling tested, proven
    and still movin
    
    What we think is the end
    is normally the beginning
    and what I think of as home
    is just a rest
    before becoming the best

    There is a spiral
    and a triangle
    a circle
    with a pentagram....
    Symbols are the keys
    but which one leads where?
    Can we make them our own,
    or does the collective sway?
    I want to be satisfied,
    but they say suffering is the way
    The chaos is exciting
    but tranquility keeps me sane.
    The end of the world is near
    yet the new age has just begun.
    Everyone wants something new
    Everyone wants the mother
    to wash it all away.
    We have more satisfaction at our fingertips
    than ever before
    yet no one is happy
    everyone is insane.
    I know right now
    that I need to play 
    a different kind 
    of music.

    Its been forever
    feels like centuries
    since she ran away
    The sounds of rifles and mortars make up the ambiance
    along with the usual sounds of a military airfield
    Gunshots are exhilarating
    but I still think of her
    Letting go of her is an act in reprogramming my entire mind
    ...
    and heart
    I thought I had it figured out
    I thought she had to be erased
    if I ever wanted to feel that way again
    The sounds of Apache gunfire compliment the thoughts of doubt
    I'm no longer so sure
    I'm no longer sure of anything anymore
    yet I've been here before
    though I don't remember what happens next
    delirium
    confusion
    is all I have
    Killing however,
    has become instinct.

    Take away all the simple 
    shit
    easy pleasure and expensive
    awkwardness
    submit yourself to the painful journey
    embrace the shadow
    love loneliness
    lose everything you brought
    with you
    drop all you hang
    onto
    we must be cleansed
    before we can transform
    loneliness makes us harder
    pain makes us stronger
    the sharper edge 
    doesn't always get the kill
    and the most shoplifted book
    is the bible

    Soon
    
    Soon I will be waiting
    stalking
    my enemy
    
    Soon
    Soon I will be starving
    waiting
    stalking my enemy
    
    Soon 
    Soon I will be tired, starving
    waiting
    stalking
    my enemy
    
    Soon
    Soon I will destroy my enemy
    
    Its simple
    Never again will I believe otherwise
    Its simple

    This is to the girl in the corner
    This is to the beautiful
    This is to good music
        behind those dark red headphones
    forever complimenting the dark hair
    and maroon nails
    That which is most desired
    in the corner
    letting the world fly by in front of her
    the men walk by
    you catch their eye
    but not their hearts
    attracted to the blue flame in your eyes
    matching the navy blue hoodie
    my eyes are on you
    but your used to it

    I used to despise regret
    but it can be a wonderful motivator
    the only reason I need
    to live a better life
    from this moment onward
    becoming the dream
    
    
    or something like that....
    


  • Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:59:14 -0700

    I'm the addict on the corner
    I'm the lawyer in the tower
    I'm the body with the coroner
    No, the leader with all the power
    You're the pillow, the cool side
    The sand during high tide
    The cocktail, poolside
    The water when clouds collide
    
    From the inside out
    We were formed
    From the inside out
    We will fall
    Soon this all will come to an end...

  • Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:40:18 -0600

    Taking into account the immense loss of resource and energy I find excuse after excuse to satisfy the 
    ego.Cursing the world around me for the cruelty it breeds. Belittling everyone and everything around me. 
    Nothing in this world could possibly suit me, bring me any pleasure. Everything is ugly. Everything is 
    beautiful.
    
    "We never get the respect we deserve..."
    "No one understands..."
    "We work so hard and receive so little..."
    "No one cares..."
    "I gave so much of myself... Such a selfless person deserves better."
    "Their sympathy sickens me..."
    "How dare they look upon me..."
    "Worthless little lives..."
    
    The manic depression nips at my heels as I crawl, scraping my belly across the ground. I am the snake who 
    hasn't the energy to lift his own head. The most vile of serpents. Making my away as fast as I can. Inch by 
    painful inch, breathing dust and smoke.
    
    "I must get out!" I tell myself. The beautiful hell I arrived in has sucked me dry, absolutely dry. With 
    barely enough water to moisten my eyes, I lick the air for a taste, but am left thin and dry. Drinking my 
    tears I crawl onward. I find the energy to lift my head and my skin cracks, begins to itch.
    
    Amidst the darkness two towers rise on the horizon. Lit by the moon, they stand as two becons; a shining 
    gateway to a world ruled by a ghostly light. There one can see the many creatures of all nightmares dancing 
    in the shadows. By light of the moon these nightmares move about the dark forest beyond the towers.Quick 
    movements followed by terrifying screams. Slow movements accompanied by immense, thunderous roars. A crunch, 
    cackling, and wet tearing sounds remind me of sweet, sweet flesh being consumed bya pack of ravenous 
    scavengers.
    
    I crawl forward, leaving one hell for another. At least this one doesn't lie, this one doesn't hide the 
    suffering it offers. I let my face fall to the earth, breathing dust and smoke. Forward I crawl, inch by 
    painful inch. My fingernails are practically nonexistent. My palms swollen, full of sand, blood, and thorns 
    from various vines I've had to crawl through. If I could see my feet and knees, they would probably look the 
    same.
    
    My ego won't shut up.
    
    "Fuck this place..."
    "Fuck these people..."
    "They don't deserve shit..."
    "I refuse to die here, amongst these vampires..."
    "These fake, ignorant creatures..."
    
    I care not, it drives me forward, closer to death, closer to release. The sounds of nightmares grow closer 
    and I grow more and more anxious. So ready to be rid of this life, rid of these hells. My anger being the 
    only drive left in me. My body is barely alive, but my anger is stronger than ever. I wish I could become 
    it, the anger inside. Its so alive.
    
    "The bastards took it all..."
    "I tried to make the world a better place..."
    "and they took it all..."
    "I regret nothing..."
    "I gave it my best shot..."
    "Karma can suck my cock..."
    "My placid... dry... cock.."
    
    A single tear makes its way towards the surface and I thank god for depression, keeping my eyes moist
    in this dusty hell. I close my eyes, kiss the ground, and continue to crawl forward. My whole body is numb 
    minus my face, which feels each grain of sand embedding itself below my skin. In the distance, the 
    nightmares grow louder. I can hear the crunching of bones, cackling of predators and screams of prey. 
    Terrifying at first, but my anger overcomes.
    
    "Good..."
    "I will feed myself to them..."
    "Maybe they will appreciate it..."
    "At least they live as they are..."
    "Freaks, fiends, monsters..."
    "At least these creatures accept it..."
    "They won't lie to themselves..."
    "They deserve my flesh..."
    "My failed flesh..."
    
    And onward I crawl. I crawl until my whole body is numb. I crawl until the screams are almost deafening.
    I crawl until the end of my sad life stands before me. I cry, I choke, I cough blood all over the ground in 
    front of me. I lay in it, and crawl some more. I crack open an eye and see the towers standing proud before 
    me.
    
    They almost stare at me, questioningly, as if debating amongst themselves whether I'm worth their time. The 
    moon sits almost perfectly between them in the sky. Full and bright, she gives both towers a reassuring nod. 
    They owe their beauty to her and I my entrance into her realm.
    
    I gather what energy I have left to stand and face my fate like a man. Thats when I notice the river running 
    through the middle of the towers, right under the moon.
    
    A most evil cackle, followed by a scream that would make stone cringe in fear fills my ears. I freeze, 
    struck to the core by the most overwhelming fear. A fear that makes my whole body cry and my mind freeze.
    
    "I should never have come here..."
    "Run, run, run..."
    "Run, idiot, run..."
    "Go back the way you came..."
    
    The nightmare of all nightmares crawls out of the shadow and heads straight for me. My hair stands on end as 
    my mind attempts to come to grips with the fear and utter shock of the whole experience. Hair so black and 
    shiny, scales just as black in all the wrong places, horns, teeth, and eyes... oh the eyes staring right 
    through me. The nightmare is not here to consume, but to torture.
    
    As a last minute reflex I dive into the river. Forgetting how to swim, or utterly exhausted, I begin to 
    sink. I can still hear the howls and screams from the shore. The thought of succumbing to the nightmare
    motivates me to move, crawl, run, swim, do something to get as far away as possible, even if it takes
    me further into the depths of the river.
    
    Luckily I surface, my body revitalized by the water. A lone wooden raft floats my way and I crawl in and
    lay on my back. Immediately above me is the moon big enough to almost cover the entire sky. I thank
    it for the boat and the river and pass out, slowly losing consciousness amidst the screams of this
    haunted land, letting the boat take me further and further into the unknown.

    Switching from red wine to warm cocoa...
    
    
    The many thoughts that once filled my head run and hide, leaving me with nothing left to write about. All 
    the better, less dramatics. They say that chocolate holds key nutrients for spiritual growth. Either that or 
    spiritualists share a common love of chocolate. I used to think I had it all figured out. In a sense that I 
    knew that I knew nothing. I knew I was learning something. Something worth learning, something worth words. 
    As I am constantly reminded, the deepest understandings, the treasure at the bottom of the ocean, cannot be 
    expressed by a language that survives on the surface
    of the sea. Our minds are the deepest of oceans and the majority of us ride the waves in makeshift rafts, 
    collecting the knowledge that bubbles to the surface. With this knowledge we improve our rafts, turning them 
    into boats, some become yachts or entire cruise ships. However these ships exist on the surface of things. 
    Some oceans are so violent we collect the knowledge needed to keep ourselves safe from the ravenous current 
    and nothing more. Locked inside our battleships we have no
    room nor ability to collect anymore knowledge that may be floating to the surface. Then again some of us 
    wonder where all this knowledge comes from.
    
    We dive deep into ourselves seeking the source of all we know, of all we are. We quickly discover that the 
    surface world of words with its predictable, logical nature comes from a deep, dark world of a seemingly 
    chaotic nature. We are possessed by confusion as we watch a thought from the depths dance out of nothing 
    into existence. We marvel at its simplicity and truth, but are at a loss when we can't bring it to the 
    surface so we can hold this understanding with words in our predictable, logical world. We cry when a thing 
    finally makes its way to the surface, something so beautiful and
    enlightening, a personal treasure that brings us close to god becomes another mundane piece of the world of 
    words.
    
    We build our own submarines to explore the depths of ourselves, starting out with the light from above to 
    explore our way immediately under the surface. As we sink however, a new kind of darkness surrounds us and 
    we have to find our own light inside ourselves. We travel the depths seeking the beautiful understandings 
    that bring us close to god, close to the only truth we ever wanted to know. In the depths we experience both 
    the beauty and ugliness of these new understandings. Frightened by the monsters inside us we come back to 
    the surface, fearing that we might swallow
    ourselves whole. When we begin to understand the nature of the beautiful and the ugly the symbols appear. 
    The Ouroboros becomes us and we choose to embrace this nature. The Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail. 
    Our world of words becomes a world of symbols. The original language evolves, turns into something which 
    survives above and immediately below the surface of the mind. We evolve within a lifetime and the world of 
    words is no longer so predictable, logical, or mundane.
    
    But the depths call us still. We become familiar with the symbols, the occult, the religions and 
    mythologies, the Mysteries and the Ancients. So we study the new language with renewed fervor. Desperately 
    hoping for new understandings of the depths and the skies. In the end, we are again met with confusion.
    
    Red wine eases you into a nice blanket that allows a body to sleep, but the mind a kind a clarity for 
    action. Inhaling a long breath through the nose awakens the sensations to an expected euphoria. Fruit being 
    the gods' guilty pleasure. Its as if the plants themselves preen themselves for hours on end, begging to be 
    devoured by an appreciative lover. Leaving us with its own kind of climax.
    
    We look upon the world with a new set of eyes, a pair improved, prepared, expecting the symbols to guide us 
    and teach us, grant us a new kind of knowledge. The soul, however, has far more depths than the entire 
    history of mankind can build symbols for.
    
    I am at somewhat of a loss now. Having tested my mind and body, going beyond limits I never imagined. I 
    indulge in the Fruit, knowing I am twice broken and in desperate need of healing. I have been given this 
    time to relax, wait, save up my energy for what I've prepared for this whole time. I half expected this part 
    to be where I see all I needed to see, where I feel all I needed to feel. Drinking the red wine now I 
    realize how foolish it was. To expect the beautiful and ugly understandings now, is simply being greedy.
    
    So I drink my fruit and enjoy my tobacco while I can. Healing what I can. Preparing for the beautiful hell 
    that waits to overwhelm me.
    
    If only I could capture this moment in time... This desktop, this wallpaper, this terminal and shapely glass 
    of wine. All the music in my ears and desperation in my heart.
    
    I am excited, fearful, euphoric, and depressed all at the same time. So tired, I can't sleep. So broken, I 
    have the strength to move mountains. So confused, its all clear to me now.
    
    It will all come to me faster than I could possibly prepare for. Italy calls, war calls. Death wants to be 
    intimate friends and angels sleep at the foot of my bed. Somehow the entirety of history is happening at 
    once. The rebirth of a species is here. The music carries me away, begging me to ride with it to the end.
    
    Feel its emotion
    Feel me
    Feel me
    
    This is the answer to everything
    and nothing at all
    
    A prophetic message
    being a drunkards ramblings

    the whole picture was bigger than I imagined,
    
    but that always seems to be the case.
    
    In the end I enjoy who I've become, yet it leaves
    me unable to fit back into the place I left. Dealing
    with all the expectations and misunderstandings is
    frustrating to say the least.
    
    War would be much easier at this point.
    
    I am now a paratrooper
    once an infantryman always an infantryman
    
    Few of us truly belong on the frontlines
    Few of us truly deserve that respect
    
    I still have a lot to prove,
    but nothing left for the rest of you
    
    There are a lot of us who experience war
    However most merely support the men who hold
    the beast at bay.
    
    There is no room for friends or family
    only the brotherhood that keeps it all alive
    
    There is no room for a wife
    only sex
    
    There is no room for children
    only lessons learned
    
    Alone and free I soar
    
    Just the wind, rain, fire, and earth
    My ultimate companions
    My offspring
    My lovers

    Changes among changes
    All I see is the movement
    All I feel is the evolution
    Stillness is the mystery
    The attraction is my enjoyable curiosity
    The purpose is my choice
    something rises,
    Born from suffering
    Bathing in blood saturated with iron
    A new kind of fuel
    Alternate Vitality
    colors not yet seen
    existing in a world beyond worlds
    waiting patiently for its turn
    to see the stillness
    to be the all
    


  • Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:34:49 -0600

    Sand at my feet
    Rock music in my ears
    adrenaline in my heart
    Hot breath coming out of me
    
    Being born again and again and again
    Its the way for me
    Its the pariah in me
    The gold in me
    The spark in me
    The miracle I be
    
    Moving on and on again
    Taking in everything
    Feeling all euphorics
    My sober acid trip
    Walking Aflame
    Igniting all I touch
    Bringing all the opportunity
    
    Rising and rising and rising again
    Burnout imminent
    Buried in ashes
    Sleeping to awake again
    and again.

    Written on May 18th, 2009
    
    Sitting in the hotel room now. Leaving everyone again. I never bothered 
    counting how many times I've done this before. I was too scared to do 
    this the first time. I had the majority of my being wrapped up in 
    someone else. There was nothing more I owed to my family. No. I thought 
    love held all my answers and adventures. You think you've conquered it 
    all when you fall in love for the first time. Its one giant trick. You 
    can't help but want everything that is pure. The innocence is stolen 
    when they stop playing your favorite show, the only show. There is 
    nothing left when you realize you've been living for a play, living for 
    a show, living for an illusion. You'll do everything you can to make it 
    continue, to make it turn out the way it was supposed to. But in the 
    end, it never matters. I still don't know what matters. The majority of 
    the people around me live their lives re-enacting their favorite parts 
    of the show, their favorite characters, their favorite stories. The 
    attempt it seems is to try out for the ideal. The ideal business man, 
    the ideal father, the ideal son, or the ideal soldier. They want to be a 
    part of the big show. The one we all look up to. Some of us know its 
    just a show. Some of us work behind the curtains.
    
    Truth is a hopeful thought, nothing more. There are many truths in any 
    moment that a person can know and understand, but the big truth, the one 
    that keeps time moving forward, is a mystery and only exists as a 
    hopeful thought. The goal in life may be the pursuit of that truth. It 
    seems to be the driving force. The agent of truth looks like order, but 
    order is driven to exist by chaos.
    
    Within humanity, within our societies and communities and personal 
    relations we seek order, its a necessity for these activities and 
    relations, but between our largest identities, mainly religions and 
    politics, our activities and relations become more and more chaotic, and 
    between humanity and everything else we see almost complete chaos. Truth 
    now looks more like a balance between order and chaos, but the mystery 
    prevails.

    no time to think
    or too much time by far
    
    Have I become the monster?
    have I unleashed something most feared
    ...concentrate
    
    whats truly the variable here?
    May logic apply?
    
    the mind drags a dieing body along a nasty path
    for what?
    
    change so extreme
    dieing for recognition
    ....
    above
    beyond
    so high
    now
    so low

    Well here's the story.
    
    Magari had a job. At this job, Magari had free colocation.
    Magari got fired. Magari joined the army. Magari lost chill-fu.net.
    Server slowly degraded in Magari's absence. 
    
    Magari moves chill-fu.net to getenlightened.com. Magari has a friend.
    Magari's friend offers to host getenlightened.com on his new hardware.

     The difference between the world we live in and the world we 
    create spans a spectrum that seems entirely endless. Did I become the 
    person I wanted to be? Did I have a choice? In the end I'll just evolve 
    again. "Adapting, overcoming, closing... the distance and destroying my 
    enemy" is what I become. Engaging in violence for the benefit of the 
    ignorant, I better myself and keep the sheep in line.

    So its been quite a bit of time since my last post...
    
    Too lazy to do the math, but I have been at Fort Benning Georgia
    for a little over 11 weeks. Just finished the Basic Combat 
    Training portion of OSUT or One Station Unit Training. I am on
    weekend pass sitting in a hotel room. Some bastard stole my 
    domain, says he paid 1000$ for it. I dont know what that means.
    
    So now we are on getenlightened.com... dunno what that means either.
    
    I owned chill-fu.net for years and now its gone. Sad day I suppose.
    
    Leaving Hope by NIN just came on my last.fm player. Ironic I suppose.
    
    Doing ok in Basic. I shot expert and scored a 286 on my last PT test.
    I am getting into good physical shape, my mentality has been all
    over the place though.
    
    So there. I know I said this website was done and it looks like the
    original chill-fu.net is gone for good. Who knows what this will become
    now. I dont have the time currently to work on it. All the links on
    the site should still work. 
    
    I'm really at a loss. The man staring at me in the glare of the 
    laptop screen isnt the same one that used to type in this terminal.
    
    This life is a dream.

    People are fucking with my shit. I guess I'm lucky to even have this.
    
    
    hold on....

    I have decided this website is finished.
    It has served its purpose.
    
    While searching for the proper belief system I finally realized I was
    shedding them like a snake sheds its skin. To be ever dynamic is
    necessary for personal evolution. To realize when one has fallen in love
    with ones beliefs and morals is a form of enlightenment in itself.
    Progress requires the continual rebirth of such ideas in an ever
    changing universe. There are no inherent truths and no static morals in
    this world. Desires are the cause of suffering and the offspring of
    beliefs that no longer aid progress. As Aaos stated, suffering is the
    only sin. The Great Work isn't the discovery of universal truths, but
    the destruction of them. Progress is the unsaying of everything said.
    Taking everything learned back to its roots and growing anew, this time
    stronger, wiser, with self-pleasure and a new lack of suffering.
    
    Everything this website contains is rubbish, infantile, idiocracy. It is
    all the words and desires of failed beliefs, nothing to be admired,
    nothing to be followed, nothing worth reading twice. The self that
    created such madness has been destroyed by itself. This is my unsaying
    of www.chill-fu.net.
    
    We purposely enslave ourselves to ourselves, our Gods among men and
    among mystics have just to acknowledge this and it is done. How dare we
    call ourselves men. How dare we give up everything we are and more. We
    must take back what is rightfully ourselves. We must be everything we
    are. Suffering is the only sin. Change is the only constant.

    So your number still doesn't work. Thats fine.
    
    I just wanted to see how you were doing.
    
    I ship off to Fort Benning, Georgia in 10 days and counting. 13 weeks of
    combined Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training.
    Afterwards I'll be going to airborne or 'jump' school to learn how to
    parachute. From there my goal is Ranger, but if I don't get selected
    I'll probably drop a packet for Warrant Officer and learn how to fly an
    Apache or Black Hawk helicopter. That sounds like fun at least.
    
    There is no doubt in my mind anymore that there will be another world
    war in the coming years. I have enlisted for 4 years of active duty and
    if I dont see it during that time I'm sure I will while I'm in the
    reserves. Explaining how I see this world war would take a novel so I
    wont. Very few people believe me and I'm ok with that. I was never the
    kind of guy who valued a man's ability to use the system to his
    advantage over another man's ability to be independent from it. It may
    seem like an oxymoron to say I am joining the Army to become independent
    from the system, but without it I simply don't have the time to support
    myself as well as train physically, mentally, and gain the knowledge
    necessary for survival in a post apocalyptic world.
    
    I could have gone back to working for a corporation and eventually make
    more than 50k a year (thats how much I made last year), but I wouldn't
    be happy. My life would become my work and the work people do for
    corporations in no way makes you a better person alone. Its what people
    do when they aren't working that makes them a better person. A lot of
    people have been able to pull it off and I in no way think less of them
    for playing the corporate game. However, it takes them a lifetime to
    accomplish it. The lucky ones get out in 20 years and finally make some
    free time for themselves to discover who they are and what they are
    capable of. Sailing, martial arts, poetry, art, fencing, chess,
    gardening, ect. All personal skills that take dedication and the ability
    to adapt to be able to master. Most of these things people don't even
    begin until they retire. The lucky ones, like I said, get out in 20
    years.
    
    Its just not for me. I don't see the benefit. I could die tomorrow and
    while I would have no regrets, I would also consider my time spent
    somewhat of a waste compared to some of the lucky souls on this planet.
    I often wish I was born as a monk near a temple where I could dedicate
    my life to Qi Gong or Tai Chi, while pursuing enlightenment through
    meditation.
    
    However, that wasn't the society I was born into, and I have a lot of
    catching up to do.
    
    When I finished my Future Soldier Training the last two lessons where an
    exact parallel to magick, the occult, and all this 'new age' thinking
    that everyone has suddenly become so fond of. The curriculum was
    literally stating things like 'you are what you think' and 'your
    thoughts become you' which is an exact parallel to the Law of
    Attraction. Then they set down specific methods of setting goals and
    obtaining them; focusing on 'preliminary goals' and attempting to forget
    or not focus on the 'end goal' or desire is everything Chaos and Sigil
    Magick is based on. At the very end there was a lesson on meditation and
    the techniques used were almost exactly like the methods Zen Buddhists
    insist on; breathing with the stomach and not the chest, ect. I began to
    wonder why such an organization like the US Army would be so adamant
    about such things. The entire image I had built of the Army was almost
    the exact opposite, but I didn't have to wonder long.
    
    It simply makes sense. When it comes to survival and war, the more
    enlightened you are, the more apt you become. It explains why the west
    could never conquer the east to begin with. Japanese samurai were the
    most feared and respected warriors on earth and it wasn't simply due to
    their skill with a blade, it was the reasons behind why they were
    samurai to begin with, the lifestyle, the religion, the emphasis on
    peace and honor. A soldier who was true in his heart and mind would
    never fall to an opponent who wasn't. The majority of samurai training
    never involved the sword at all.
    
    I believe the US Army is capable of acknowledging and adapting these
    techniques into their own methods of training. While the Army may not
    seem like an honorable or peaceful organization I beg you too look at it
    through their eyes. Just as the samurai was born to serve their Daimo,
    the Army was born to serve the American people. While the government may
    not seem like it has the people's intentions at heart, I truly believe
    they try. This was the government we as a people chose and the US Army
    recognizes that and serves its appointed masters honorably. While not
    every Japanese emperor or daimo was worthy of the service of their
    samurai, the samurai served them with honor nonetheless. Through this
    honor and absolute power of will, the samurai became their own class
    within a system while being entirely independent from it.
    
    This is the path I seek and while times have changed soldiers of war
    still follow this path in the east and the west.
    
    I need a physical and mental challenge. I need adventure. I wont spend
    20 years of my life hoping for happiness in the end. I am determined to
    find the ecstasy in war. The enlightenment in battle. The heaven on the
    other end of hell. I won't be satisfied training in hiding, in fear. I
    train to conquer those fears, to conquer my enemy. Remember when you
    said you wanted to be an assassin or something like that? This is me
    following that dream. I will become a real trained killer in the Army,
    there is no doubt about that.
    
    I miss you.
    Whether or not we were ever meant to be, I miss you.
    
    A long time ago I said sorry a lot. I said I changed a lot.
    The truth was that I did change, but not by much, and I was sorry, but
    not by much.
    
    The last time we spoke I told it to you truthfully. I began dating you
    in a period of my youth when I was lost and felt alone and out of
    control. When we fell in love (which I still believe to have been true
    love) I felt like everything was right. I felt like I had accomplished
    the big mystery. I felt like I had found heaven on earth and that we
    were in control of our destiny. When I first began to feel
    disappointment I blamed it all on you. It was a very immature thing to
    do, I know, but I was young and still tripping on not being in control.
    Every time I was in pain I blamed it on you. Every time I was angry I
    blamed it on you. I cursed you and hurt you, but not out of spite. When
    you cried and said sorry and told me you wanted to make it all better I
    felt in control again. I was blind to myself back then and if I could
    have seen what I was doing I'm still not sure how things would have been
    different. I was simply out of control in more ways than one. I
    apologize for that now and am truly sorry for all the pain I caused. In
    that way I have truly changed now.
    
    I just want to thank you. Thank you for taking me in back then when we
    were young. Thank you for letting me feel in control. Thank you for
    trying to help me in every way. Thank you for showing me what love was
    like. Thank you for trying so hard to keep things together. Thank you
    for always forgiving. Thank you for making life exciting and blissful.
    Thank you for just giving me so much.
    
    No matter where we go, who we become, we will always have something
    between us. It will weaken and fade, but exist nonetheless. The stamp
    true love has on a person changes them forever and the people we are
    today and 40 years from now will still carry that stamp. Whether we view
    it with feeling or not, its there. I have chosen to honor your gift upon
    me by becoming the warrior you always saw me as. This will be my last
    dedication to the people we were back then when we dreamt together of
    lives of adventure.
    
    Stay true to your soul and spirit, not your mind, and you will always be
    heading in the right direction.

    I have a friend keeping me company tonight.
    A nervous fellow.
    I will call him skeet.
    
    He seems happy near the numpad
    chilling on top of the scroll lock LED
    
    He isn't the prettiest guy
    but I don't hold it against him
    not very graceful either
    
    Beetles are supposed to represent transformation
    life and death
    
    I'll admit I feel oddly alive
    Akin to a time alone while in love
    with a girl
    
    I was full, felt almost...
    complete
    
    Very similar feeling now.
    along with something very disturbing
    
    so alive
    yet so confused
    
    Something hiding from me now
    trying to show itself possibly
    out of the corner of my eye
    
    I have purpose
    I have a journey ahead of me
    something new
    
    women are calling
    but this time I don't answer

    Lady of beauty
    Lust
    Passion
    
    You carry the object
    of man's desire
    
    knowing your power
    knowing grace,
    moves mountains,
    and the blackest heart of iron
    
    You tread upon the strongest
    of the weak
    
    Heels pierce their hearts.
    the oozing blood
    is your drug
    
    You sucker the strongest warriors
    with the illusion of conquest
    You sucker the brightest philosophers
    with the illusion of the stone
    You sucker the most willing servants
    with the illusion of a goddess
    You sucker the selfless rulers
    with the illusion of love
    
    Dance jellyfish
    so you can fry your prey
    staying beautiful
    keeping all eyes on you
    
    keeping all distracted
    Keeping all lost
    so you don't feel so alone
    
    Dance jellyfish
    Dance
    
    I will watch
    but never touch
    
    I sleep only with the strongest of vampires
    I sleep only with the saddest among you
    
    Those who know true love
    Those who burn to share
    Those who only need my eyes
    
    So addicted to the blood
    You can never get enough
    
    The more you drink
    The more you need
    to feel that high
    
    Dance jellyfish
    Dance your last
    no amount of prey
    will satisfy you now
    
    Dance jellyfish
    and I will watch
    
    but touch me
    and you will die
    
    for I carry the purest of blood
    
    I carry my conquest
    I carry my stone
    I carry my love
    and my goddess
    
    with me
    always

    again and again
    I sit here to write
    
    again and again
    I look up to the light
    
    feelings lost
    take away by wings of language
    
    nothing remembered
    everything forgot
    
    but the clock keeps ticking
    the big wheel keeps spinning
    caring not
    
    its as if
    they never mattered
    but I know better
    
    all the elations
    all the depressions
    lost in a life
    
    for another to live
    to feel again
    
    drunk
    simply drunk
    
    matters not
    yet some disagree
    
    ramblings of a madman
    let me become nothing

    You poor, poor, bastards
    Your system has failed.
    
    The illusion will collapse around you
    built on the most unstable foundation.
    
    Spend the rest of your days
    praying to your gods.
    
    Enlightenment will no longer be a choice
    Unless you prefer death.
    
    Which most of you do.
    
    Poor, poor children.
    
    I cannot shake you.
    I cannot wake you.
    I cannot help you.
    
    I must prepare.
    I must train.
    To save myself.
    
    and the loved ones 
    who were lucky enough
    to survive.
    
    You can look your best
    You can collect the most
    You can know it all
    You can be the strongest
    
    but can you survive.
    without your fellow man?
    
    without your capitalism
    without your drugs
    without your friends
    without your love?
    
    Can you?
    are you ready?
    
    Because those who have prepared
    will survive the mobs
    will survive the drought 
    will survive the insanity
    
    Do you?
    Do you know how to survive?
    
    You can't depend on your car
    You can't hide behind your 401k
    You can't forage in the supermarkets
    
    The meek will inherit the earth
    again.

    Everything which exists, exists within self. As individuals we must live 
    with the understanding that everything we hate and despise in this world 
    exists for a reason. A very important reason.
    
    In order for anything we enjoy, worship, believe in, live for, ect to 
    exist, the opposite must also exist. This is how things have been 
    arranged within man's ability to perceive the world.
    
    Anything we perceive is only perceivable due to the fact that the mind 
    is capable of perceiving it initially. These pre-existing patterns are 
    built up overtime as the mind adapts to the world around it.
    
    Magic is simply a human experience without a pre-existing pattern. 
    Symbology is simply a method by which mankind records what it has 
    evolved to perceive. 
    
    Throughout the entire current record of humankind there has always been 
    war. War is simply a struggle between two sets of symbology, the two 
    ways of viewing the world which surrounds us.
    
    Love is all. All is love. Love is the law.
    Hatred is a cancer within the self.
    Survival is the challenge.
    
    
    
    This symbol is the mystery
    This is the symbol of the new culture
    This is the symbol of the new God
    This is the new perception
    This is something evolved
    This is the new understanding
    This is the new age
    The new culture
    Evolved from the ancient perception
    
    Within the self that is humanity
    we must ensure the survival of the new symbols
    
    I am joining the Army.
    


  • Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:52:44 -0700

    So the Castle Rock apartment was a failure. I say this because I'm 
    forced to end my lease. The situation is the result of bad planning. A 
    month ago was the product of a path that didn't resonate with my being.
    
    Out of High School I saw two options, two choices, two doors. One was to 
    go to a school. The other was to join the army.
    
    To this day I am still unsure as to exactly why I chose to go to college 
    initially. The authority figures of my youth that I respected the most 
    were all military men. Colonel Fowler, Seargent Westfall, and Seargent 
    Cox to name a few.
    
    So why did I choose to go to school? Was it because the strongest and 
    brightest from my class were planning on doing the same? Because that 
    isn't entirely true. I didn't necessarily respect these mates as much as I 
    respected my friends who chose the military. David Yellen and Chase 
    Matthews both joined the military. I have seen both of these guys since 
    I graduated in May of 2005 and both gentlemen have exceeded my 
    expectations in terms of intelligence and maturity.
    
    So here I am now. I dropped out of college because I found it pointless. 
    I went in with more technical knowledge than they could give me. The 
    culture itself was ignorant in regards to the nature of the technology 
    and how it grows and applies itself to humanity. When I acquired a 
    related job that some might prefer to call a career, I discovered the 
    beast that created the sick, ignorant culture that I had gotten myself 
    into. I was initially excited about the job because it provided so much 
    in terms of resources. I quickly grew to despise the culture and even 
    some of the people I was working with. I came to the conclusion that it 
    wasn't the people or the technology or the customers or the company or 
    the work itself that depressed me; that robbed me of my hope. It 
    was the culture that grew from capitalism. It permeated every aspect, 
    every opportunity to acquire resources using the technology. I grew 
    bitter, angry, hate full. The way something so divine as the technology 
    mankind was given is being treated disturbs me to my core.
    
    So when I lost my job, going back was a thought that depressed me. I 
    decided I could only go back on my own terms. However, I had wasted all 
    my resources. I was something that had been spit out at the diner table 
    after much chewing and many attempts to swallow.
    
    I have fallen out of all culture, all society. Now I stand, ready to try 
    door #2. Or was it #1? I realize this culture may not resonate with me 
    completely, however this culture treats its individuals as something 
    valuable, not as something expendable. 
    
    How can this be true of the Army? Well simply put the goals of each 
    culture are entirely different. The military doesn't seek something as 
    temporary and ethereal as money. The goal of the military is survival 
    and that is a goal which requires individuals to unite and work 
    together. The lack of material necessity prevents the majority of the 
    problems created by capitalism. 
    
    I can't escape it though. Each currently depends upon the others 
    survival. I will be the change I wish to see in the world.

    A story worth being told.
    Is one where lessons are learned.
    
    The lessons worth learning however,
    are the stories we create ourselves.
    
    Born out of the creator
    into the mind of the creator. 
    Fascinated by the world I have chosen.
    Wrapped up by it
    like mother tucking me into bed
    I became lost in my dreams.
    So determined
    to see the script to it's end.
    
    Just to see what happens next
    
    However, time was my gift
    and a curse
    which keeps me sane
    and insane
    
    Insane within the dream
    sane outside of it
    
    to enjoy the dream is the goal
    
    When I walk through it
    I see geeks on the left
    and freaks on the right
    
    They beg me to play with them
    entertain their visions
    visions of what the dream is
    and what it can be
    
    Death comes to me
    Offering all I desire
    within a dream
    
    A dream that's never ending
    always needs new characters
    and habits make me quick to accept
    
    But I haven't forgotten Mother
    I always remember Father
    
    The awakening
    was a kiss on the cheek.
    
    I asked Mother
    if the people in my dream
    would find their answers. 
    would find their bliss.
    
    "If you want them to"
    
    was the reply.
    
    I asked Father
    if I could really give them
    everything they wanted
    everything they desired.
    
    "If they want it"
    
    was the reply
    
    The dreams never end
    The illusion persists
    as long as there is an in balance.
    Suffering and ecstasy continue
    in a world without harmony
    
    To make it real
    To make it really real
    I must transform it
    into something self aware
    of itself
    
    That which is divided
    must come together
    Like Mother
    Like Father
    to transform
    to give life
    
    Born out of the creator
    into the mind of the creator
    One with the creator
    who in this unbalanced state
    can love and hate
    We desire love above all else
    from Mother
    from Father
    I will show my creator
    that I love Him
    that I love Her
    
    I will sacrifice self
    to exist no longer
    within the creator

    Its 15:41 on valentines day
    
    I have invited a friend to come over and ********** with me
    
    He is bringing two bottles of orange juice to wash them down. We have 1 
    marble mortar and pestle for grinding. A sheet
    of paper with our names and declarations on them. We will use this to 
    pour the powder into our mouths.
    
    For calming us before and after I aquired some very choice bud from a 
    friend of mine who I swear is a magician and
    doesn't even know it. Some of us, truly live a moment at a time.
    
    Anyways, I took two hits, maybe three and im already a little gone. 
    Palms sweating is always a sign of perception
    changing, altering, time slowing.
    
    It's cold outside
    16:02 now
    Sky is grey
    
    I gotta hide the white lighter
    and find the chapstick
    
    19:52
    Just **************. Working on drinking the orange juice
    
    its 20:58
    We are listening to the doors. I dont think the mushrooms have hit me 
    fully yet.
    My friend however, is watching a movie in the fan and commenting on his 
    pants.
    my roomba just took a shit on my carpet
    
    
    We all have antennas
    that connect to the space above
    if I follow my thoughts
    there is a point
    where they are given to me
    from something else
    in the space above
    and when I look past those thoughts
    to the source
    I interact with the source
    there are many of them
    some are almost human
    but it seems they've been here for a while
    the brain
    gives them a pattern, so I can comprehend
    what they are trying to show me
    and they can show you
    anything
    
    time to sleep

    10:10 <     anne> That's when you know you're a great writer.
    10:10 <   magari> I dunno
    10:11 <   magari> its just..
    10:11 <     anne> When you can say things that bring up emotions there are no 
                      existing words for
    10:11 <   magari> the way he writes
    10:11 <   magari> its so raw
    10:11 <     anne> exactly!
    10:11 <   magari> raw thought
    10:11 <   magari> thats what I try to do
    10:11 <     anne> *nodnod* the best.
    10:11 <   magari> ever since I ever started writing
    10:11 <     anne> *nodnod*
    10:12 <   magari> you know
    10:12 <   magari> its odd
    10:12 <     anne> Hm?
    10:12 <   magari> im going to analyze my situation outloud now
    10:12 <   magari> now that I can type as fast as I want
    10:12 <     anne> lol, w00t!
    10:12 <   magari> life right now
    10:12 <   magari> this moment
    10:13 <   magari> consists of me sitting at my computer
    10:13 <   magari> which is practically me
    10:13 <   magari> I built it
    10:13 <   magari> compiled all the software myself
    10:13 <   magari> poured my heart and soul into it
    10:13 <   magari> turned it into my tool
    10:13 <   magari> and when I use it
    10:13 <   magari> I become one with it
    10:14 <   magari> I was going to type about other things
    10:14 <   magari> things that dont seem to exist now
    10:14 <   magari> I can barely recall them
    10:14 <   magari> and a part of me doesnt even want to
    10:14 <   magari> because I know the truth
    10:14 <   magari> the truth is right now
    10:14 <   magari> this moment
    10:14 <   magari> I might paste this on my website
    10:14 <   magari> :)
    10:14 <     anne> =)
    10:14 <   magari> I think these things when I feel proud
    10:14 <   magari> proud of myself and what im doing right now
    10:14 <     anne> let it pour man =)
    10:14 <   magari> right now though, is forever
    10:14 <   magari> so sometimes
    10:14 <   magari> right now
    10:15 <     anne> Let it be a quenching rain! =D
    10:15 <   magari> I dont do things im so proud of
    10:15 <   magari> I do things and see and think of things that dont really 
                      exist right now
    10:15 <   magari> things like bank accounts
    10:15 <   magari> and people
    10:15 <   magari> people that dont exist right now
    10:15 <   magari> I just realized
    10:15 <   magari> people aren't a problem
    10:16 <   magari> its the connections that are the problem
    10:16 <   magari> connections grow
    10:16 <   magari> like plants
    10:16 <   magari> and you must water and nurture them
    10:16 <     anne> *nods* for sure.
    10:16 <   magari> megadeth has sigils on the Cryptic Writings album
    10:16 <   magari> the only magicians allowed to live these days are artists
    10:17 <   magari> the best ones can't help but sell out
    10:17 <   magari> someone who actually experiences "selling out
    10:17 <     anne> *nods*
    10:17 <   magari> is really just sick
    10:17 <   magari> well
    10:17 <   magari> not them
    10:17 <   magari> but their connection to those people
    10:17 <   magari> those symbols
    10:17 <   magari> of that which makes them upset
    10:18 <   magari> that connection is unhealthy
    10:18 <     anne> Deffinetly.
    10:18 <   magari> no one sells out
    10:18 <   magari> they just figure out how to use tools
    10:18 <   magari> some people get lucky
    10:18 <   magari> and the tools seek them
    10:18 <   magari> but in a way
    10:18 <     anne> *nods*
    10:18 <   magari> its good for us
    10:19 <   magari> because those tools have purposes
    10:19 <   magari> and they need to get things done
    10:19 <   magari> and they need people to do it
    10:19 <   magari> :)

    Licking my wounds I sit lightly on a nearby boulder.
    
    The giant scorpions that inhabit the Sinking Sands are nasty fuckers. Their speed initially 
    caught me by surprise. Quick to take the offensive position and quick with the claws, but the 
    tail was almost disappointingly slow. 
    
    Actually the wound I patiently watch heal now was caused by being careless while attempting to 
    roll the carcass. The edges of these scorpions exoskeletons seems to become razor sharp after 
    a good dust storm.
    
    I will have to learn how to take advantage of such climate extremities if I am to survive any 
    longer out here. Hopefully soon I will see a sign of the fabled Ashen Order which resides 
    amongst the Pillars of Flame.
    
    Quellious has allowed me to deviate from my path temporarily so I can return to the source.
    
    As night sets across the desert I preen myself lightly of as much grit as necessary for 
    comfort. Stilling my heart and mind I focus on the flaming horizon under the falling sun. I 
    can almost feel a blanket of heat raise off the red landscape as the stars begin to catch my 
    attention. No clouds in the sky to keep the heat down. It will be cold enough to freeze any 
    standing water soon.
    
    Almost like clockwork my ears start to pick up the sounds of large amounts of sand moving a 
    few feet ahead of me. Shifting focus to my whiskers I make out a giant scorpion burying 
    himself in the sand before me. My instincts consider doing the same, but just then the 
    scorpion stops.
    
    We both sit motionless, waiting for something to break the darkening silence. One body 
    existing next to the other, both independent, yet connected. Capitalizing on my intense focus, 
    I reach out to the scorpion and just before I realize what exists in his mind I can feel the 
    Giant coming.
    
    Vibrations from the rock that I sit on slowly make themselves known. As the scorpion scurries 
    away I flare my mind's focus. Bringing all consciousness, all intent, all purpose and 
    existence together upon a single point.
    
    My heartbeat slows, my breathe all but ceases. 
    
    The world around me dissolves away.

    Like an unexpected dream
    it comes
    
    Like a neverending haunt
    it comes
    
    To enlighten the chosen
    it comes
    
    To empower the meek
    it comes
    
    To destroy the symbols
    it comes
    
    sometimes at night
    sometimes mid day
    it comes
    
    into my mind
    invading
    persuading
    
    a mind at ease
    is not my own
    not when
    it comes
    
    it comes with intensity
    it comes with prophecies
    it comes to take it all back
    
    my mind is not my own
    my mind is not my own
    
    deluded
    eluded
    confused and
    tortured
    
    with the light
    
    chasing away
    the familiar
    darkness
    
    bringing me to the brink
    the edge
    
    the edge of insanity
    the edge of reason
    the edge of ecstasy
    and love
    
    only one escape
    jump
    
    transform
    and become
    what you were born to be

    I fear not
    the depths of my own soul
    
    not anymore
    now I've lost control
    but its ok
    its ok
    
    intoxicated
    pursuing the dream
    the undines taunt me
    
    I fear not
    the depths of my own soul
    
    gnomes worship me
    lizards follow me
    sylphs carry me
    
    all intoxicate me
    with power
    with energy
    with life
    
    I fear not
    the dream
    
    pursuing the sirens song
    on the brink of
    insanity
    
    This I fear not
    for she needs me
    more than I need her
    
    I will love
    with spirit and soul
    
    unable to move
    unable to breath
    
    she will test me
    but I have the honor
    
    I have the strength
    I have the will
    I have the heart

     If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot
    apprehend God; for like is known by like. Leap clear of all that is
    corporeal, and make yourself grown to a like expanse with that 
    greatness which is beyond all measure; rise above all time and 
    become eternal; then you will apprehend God. Think that for you
    too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and
    that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every
    craft and science; find your home in the haunts of every living
    creature; make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all
    depths; bring together in yourself all opposites of quality, heat
    and cold, dryness and fluidity; think that you are everywhere at
    once, on land, at sea, in heaven; think that you are not yet
    begotten, that you are in the womb, that you are young, that you are 
    old, that you have died, that you are in the world beyond the grave;
    grasp in your thought all of this at once, all times and places, all
    substances and qualities and magnitudes together; then you can 
    apprehend God. But if you shut up your soul in your body, and
    abase yourself, and say "I know nothing, I can do nothing; I
    am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know 
    not what I was, nor what I shall be," then what have you to do
    with God?

    I've been seeing the patterns for some time now.
    
    It began as an utter rampage of coincidences only made real
    by my own mind. I wouldn't had even noticed that if I hadn't
    made the leap prior. If I hadn't dared to ask the question,
    if I hadn't bothered to see if there indeed was a connection.
    
    It's too late now. The patterns are real. The coincidences
    never taken for granted. My thoughts, my actions, my future;
    these are only continuations of the giant pattern. The massive
    sigil which connects us all while transcending time, space, and
    even mind.
    
    Living with the pattern takes some adjustment. What may seem 
    obvious to me now wasn't always and still isn't for the majority.
    
    So it seems what I see, feel, live is not the life of an 
    ordinary man. Nor extraordinary, but simply different. Choice,
    it seems, forces me to place a value upon my current situation.
    Even though, what I value now is how things are, there is no 
    reason not to argue that I simply value this here and now
    because it is where I have come to sit and type due to all
    my past struggles and accomplishments.
    
    To choose this life, these experiences, over any other is
    something I respect, but perhaps only because I have already
    chosen it.
    
    The patterns, although immensely beautiful, can set a mind 
    to ease as well as drive some mad. Just like any additional
    input, a mind must develop some sort of system which allows
    the input to exist.
    
    As achievements are made in technology by the expansion and 
    addition of logic upon itself to create a layered system where
    the most potential exists beyond the top, it seems, at least 
    existentially, the limit for potential grows as we look 
    deeper and deeper into ourselves and the basic systems of 
    existence. Ultimately, you have unlimited potential at the 
    very root of all systems of existence.
    
    I fear the day I cross the threshold into a system of 
    destruction, but such systems are indeed a necessity.
    
    The question remains how man becomes and affects this
    ultimate pattern. The pattern of existence. Or is it more
    how this ultimate pattern affects and becomes man?
    
    What are the signs when the subject itself is all signs?
    
    Where can one draw a line to reference progress when the
    scope is infinite?
    
    What do the altered states of consciousness really have to
    do with all of it?
    
    Where is the heart's map in a society that fears the frontier?

    Learning to speak
    to communicate
    to share information
    share desires
    
    all over again
    anew
    from within
    
    laughing
    thinking
    sharing
    with a new tongue 
    
    Learning the language
    of the deep
    
    discussions within
    and with
    my void

    Do I dare?
    
    Do I care?
    
    Is it worth it?
    Do I abandon
    myself?
    everyone?
    no one?
    
    Seeking the inner temple
    Building my sanctuary
    
    as the project nears completion
    I wonder why I began in the first place
    I wonder if its 
    healthy?
    necessary?
    progress?
    
    Do I dare reach the ultimate calm
    make the mustard seed my world?
    Find my ultimate shelter?
    my inner soul mate
    myself?
    
    Dare I become silent
    never needing to
    speak?
    love?
    fuck?
    protect?
    need?
    
    This is what I consider
    while I nail this place shut
    from the inside
    without notice
    from myself
    or anyone
