At yer grind, at the bottom where it’s dirty—and you’re filthy as a cloud spawned galaxy—swirling about a muddy puddle. The backbreaking labor of the industrial working class. We are but yet another version of the past. Drink way yer merry soul, and forget the lies you knew were told.… Continue reading
(musing over Dario Argento’s Suspiria remastered) Suspiria is a masterpiece conceptually, a beautiful, disorienting, sublime, surreal and sometimes terrifying fairytale of horror.

If you can’t appreciate color while appreciating black and white, how can you appreciate art? The colors soften the palate, and moisten the gray matter, like wine and bread.

As a result we mystify it. The overwhelming harmony is life at its… Continue reading

All my romantic encounters build me as a romantic object. As they break my heart into pieces I come back with a bigger, stronger, more efficient heart beat. I pulse and reverberate the sounds of absence, placed against itself then back in reverse. Am I dangerously approaching another abyss or… Continue reading
Already started working on “Inferno” (working title for the next part of the MvWC), a tale of melancholy, personal identity and the oppressive dimension of hell. In that spirit, a few thoughts on language in relation to identity and mental anguish: Language is probably the greatest gift bestowed on the… Continue reading
