Poetry from a confused heart

LUST

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear.
Let me tell you of my sin;
My carnal desire.

Breaking commandment after commandment
As lust blinds my eyes.
I’m hungry for flesh,
Warm-skinned with desire.

Not before marriage
Oh Daughter of God.
Not before Marriage
Thou shalt not.

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear.
Teach me about sin;
This carnal desire.

My body beats to a delicious pulse
As my heart drowns in lust.
I long for another…
To see our flesh become one.

Not before marriage
Oh Daughter of God.
See it is written
Thou shalt not!

But oh how I long…
Naked flesh on naked flesh
How can this be wrong?
What is sin anyway?

I’m burning with need
Fiery carnality.
Human desire.
Driven mad by flaming passion.

I crave release
One way or another.
My lascivious nature
Craving another.

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear
I need some advice
On this lustful need.

Not before marriage
Blessed Child of God
See it is written
Thou shalt not!

My dear Lord give me strength
I fear I cannot stand it;
My lust-stained innocence
So clearly on show.

Father forgive me
Your child has sinned.
I feel so lost!
Why do you mock me by holding your silence?

Rabbai! Teacher!
Please lend me your ear,
Whilst me cheeks blush with shame
For my lascivious nature.

Always the same answer
Not before marriage
For my child it says in this book
Thou shalt not!

I’m sick of these rules.
Why! God. Why!
Father in Heaven
You created me!

Surely you know the answer.
Please Lord, Don’t echo the rabbai.
I’ve heard it before.
Child of God, not before marriage.

I’m sick of religion
With its stuffy old rules.
With its ‘bless you dear child’s
And ‘Thou shalt not’s.

Call me a heretic
I’m beyond caring.
But Jesus wasn't one
To play by the rules.

Don’t get me wrong!
I love you dear Lord.
I gave you my life
At the start of 04.

I meant every word.
I’m washed by the blood.
A child of God.
My name is written in the lambs book of life.

I’ve gone too far.
Heretic, Heathen, Unbeliever.
I’ve heard it all before.
I’m sick of religion,
But I still love God.

Father forgive me for I have sinned.

UP THE IRONS!

I saw Iron Maiden perform live at Newcastle's Metro radio arena on the 17th December 2006.

I can say safely that their set made up for having to sit thru nearly an hour of Trivium before hand. I have little respect for someone who feels it necessary to say fuck after every second word.

Lauren Harris's short support set was really good in terms of sound quality but I do suspect this may have something down to being on tour with daddy (Maiden's bassist). Her set wasn't anything spectacular but it was tolerable more so then Trivium.

Anyhoo back to Maiden, when you see these guys perform live you realise precisely why it is that they have lasted as long as they have. The show was incredible and despite having seated tickets rather then being in the thick of it all I had an awesome time.
Highlights included Eddie rising up in a massive tank turret from the back of the stage and Fear of the Dark! There is something incredible in expereinceing a sold out gig singing their hearts out in reply to Bruce's encouragement. Not to mention the whole arena chanting Maiden at the top of their collective lungs.
Fantastic!
I love the community atmosphere at a Maiden gig with atleast three generations if not four making eye contact and bursting into chants of Maiden, Maiden, Maiden as the house lights went down!

UP THE IRONS!

Overwhelmed by the generosity of friends

It never ceases to amaze me how generous people can be. In the space of a couple of weeks I have clocked up £1,205.50 mostly though individual donations. I owe a huge debt of thanks to those who have donated money to me. God bless.

HTML - Level 1

Wooooooh!
I just scripted my first HTML page! It isn't live yet or anything fancy but I opened it in Firefox and Internet Explorer and it worked!
Oh and I'm finished my Philosophy exams! I never ever have to do philosophy again! *dances* Only two exams left now

Deny Thine coward God...

I serve the God who has held Victory from the very beginning of time.

Enough apologizing and trembing in fear "christians." I deny your Coward God and embrace the God our Sacred Scriptures proclaim. Stop wasting my time with your political holier-than-thou pious hypocrisy. Stand up and be counted in His name. Move foward unafraid of the Darkness. I can take your cowardly weakness no more!

Oh but I'm afraid of the television, of the radio, of school, of homosexuals. It is all so scary. What am I to do? Can't I just sit here and wait for something to be placed in my lap in the safety of my little corner where I can ignore the evil?

NO! Face the Darkness. The world is filled with wolves but Man can only rend Flesh, your Soul is forever. We are the Light of the world. Stop hiding under the wicker basket.

Hail to the Inner Light.

I deny the lie of your Coward God and embrace the I AM of scripture.

We are called to be lights in the darkness, called to spread the good news, isn't it about time we stood up and were counted amongst the true believers? Unafraid of being judged by the world, living to hear the words "Well done good and faithful servant"

The Great Canadian Goth Hunt!

I am so completly and utterly sick of the sheer volume of finger pointing that is going on right now!
Yes the girl involved in the triple murder in Alberta was a member of vampirefreaks.com as was her boyfriend and partner in crime but this does not mean that the goth subculture is evil in anyway.
We are sick of being used as a scapegoat culture for every ill that happens in this world. You fear us because we are different, you fear the aesthetic, yet look a little closer and you will find a culture of empathic animal lovers who campaign for causes like 'Make Poverty History' and 'PETA'. A subculture of vegetarians/vegans who have alot to thank the Hippies for. A generation of people who will grow up in general to be outstanding pillars of this world as lawyers, doctors and accountants.
Yes the subculture has a prehaps unhealthy interest in fantasy creatures of the night but it does not make us murders!
We are a subculture that accepts those people who you 'normal' people reject, freaks, geeks and loners, those who seek someone to love them and accept who they are as an individual.
Please people think before you point the finger, look a little closer and see what you will find below the aesthetic looks.
Yours in irate randomness!

And so it continues with articles like this from the edmunton sun determined to use Goth as a scapegoat for society's ills

So much to say, so little time!

Whew! Where to start? It's been sooo long since I last posted on here that I fear I have alot to say. I shall try and summarise as much as possible.

Its been a hectic past few months with notable events such as handing in my last piece of school coursework and police interviews.
It was with immense pleasure and relief that I handed my last ever school level coursework in - an investigation into the effect of gender upon the language used in health articles. Boy was I glad to see the back of that one!
It is also with some sadness that I look upon this milestone in my education, everything is starting to feel final. Posters for the leaver's dinner have gone up round school and huddles of year 13 girls can be found discussing dresses and swapping makeup tips. The boys? Too busy playing football to care much, I fear. However I suppose we can forgive them they do after all only have to hire a tuxedo - no fear of turning up wearing the same thing lol.
At present I am considering this dress from moon maiden, the nice friendly, vegetarian goth company in cornwall.

(If you click on the image you can see other views of it)
Hope to get it in the colours shown.
The new senior students have been elected and exam timetables have been issued. Why is it that having spent the last couple of terms explaining to all who would listen that I can't wait to get out of the school, that I suddenly find I am absolutly terrified of leaving it. I feel so confused lol! With only a term left to go, I have developed cold feet and would do almost anything to stay with the nice security blanket that is the high school.
I guess I just need to take a deep breath and trust in the Lord and His plan for me. I am beginning to flap my wings ready to take to the sky not unlike the words of the song my mom used to sing to me.
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
A poigniant song that currently brings tears to my eyes.
Anyhooo enough of the sentimental mush stuff!
I mentioned earlier that the police had interviewed me. I was really nervous about this but it turned out to be fine, a nice lady police officer in plain clothes and an unmarked car came to the house and my mom was allowed to sit in on the interview with me.
In other news:
I am currently investigating bass teachers in the local area as my one moved to London...grrrr! I shall take comfort in the fact that God provides to those he calls so yeah I'm not too worried and I wish my last bass teacher the best of luck in London. Lucky devil!

God: I've lost faith in Blair

All the signs are that the Almighty is unhappy about efforts to implicate Him in the attack on Iraq
Terry Jones
Wednesday March 8, 2006
The Guardian
A high-level leak has revealed that God is "furious" at Tony Blair's attempts to implicate him in the bombing of Iraq. Sources close to the archangel Gabriel report him as describing the Almighty as "hopping mad ... with sanctimonious yet unscrupulous politicians claiming He would condone their bestial activities when He has no way of going public Himself, owing to the MMW agreement" (a reference to the long-established Moving in Mysterious Ways concordat).

Mr Blair went public about God on Michael Parkinson's TV show. "If you have faith about these things," he said, "then you realise that judgment is made by other people. If you believe in God, it's made by God as well." As is customary with Mr Blair's statements, it's rather hard to tease out what he is actually saying; but the gist is clearly that if God didn't actually tell him to bomb Iraq, then the Almighty would certainly agree it was the right thing to do.
"If Tony Blair thinks his friendship with George W Bush is worth rubbing out a couple of hundred thousand Iraqi men, women and children, then that's something he can talk over with me later," said God. "But when he starts publicly claiming that's the way I do the arithmetic too, it's time I put my foot down!" It is well known that God has a very big foot.
A source says Gabriel has spent days trying to dissuade the Almighty from loosing a plague of toads upon the Blair family. Gabriel reminded God that Cherie and the children had nothing to do with Tony's decisions. God's response, it is reliably reported, was: "Blair says the Iraqis are lucky to have got bombed, so how can he complain if his family gets a few toads in the bath?"
The archangel is said to be ticked off with God's ability to provide glib answers without even thinking.
What has particularly incensed the Almighty is that Mr Blair made the claim on the Parkinson show. "If he'd done it on Richard and Judy I could have forgiven a lot," He is reported to have said.
The archangel reported that the Almighty has become increasingly irritated with the vogue for politicians to claim that He is behind their policies - especially if these involve killing large numbers of humans. According to Gabriel, God spake these words: "That George W Bush once had the nerve to say: 'God told me to go end the tyranny in Iraq, and I did.' Well, let me tell you I did no such thing! If I'd wanted to get rid of Saddam Hussein, I could have given him pneumonia. I didn't need the president of the United States to send in hundreds of heavy bombers and thousands of missiles to destroy Iraq - even though I appreciate that Halliburton needed to fill its order books."
"How do Bush and Blair think it makes me look to all those parents who have lost sons and daughters in this grubby business? Don't they know that the Muslims they're taking out worship the same Me that they do? It's a public relations disaster that ought to set Christianity back hundreds of years. Though knowing the fundamentalists, it'll probably have the reverse effect."
The archangel further revealed that he had been advised by no less a person than Alastair Campbell to warn God to keep out of politics. "But it's hard to get God to do anything He doesn't want to," sighed the archangel. "It's all to do with what He calls 'free will', though a lot of us have a problem working that one out, since He's omnipotent and omniscient."
God, the archangel says, is also disturbed by Mr Blair's remark that while religious beliefs might colour his politics, "it's best not to take it too far".
"How would he like it if I went round claiming that he gave me his full backing when I sent the tsunami last year?"

Dragonforce Gig Pictures

Last wednesday I saw the mighty DRAGONFORCE in concert which was an absolutely amazing! I shall type more about it tomorrow but at the moment I shall leave you with some pics. Apologies for quality they were taken from the very sweaty front row of the pit with my mobile phone.

A break from revision...

I decided to take a break from revision having completed several case studies. Plus the r-guide says to take regular breaks :D
Anyway! I was browsing a site called http://www.hedonistica.com which has a collection of absolutly hilarious videos!
Some of them I will admit are a little rude or a little bit sick, but the ones I'm gonna provide you with links to are either really cool or hilarious and most of them are clean-ish humour.

Okay the first one I'm gonna show you is called VampZ and is basically I think a brother and sister fighting style mini movie. Its well worth the loading time to watch this baby.
The small one loads fastest so here's the link to the small one.
http://vampz.free.fr/video/VampZ_small.mov

Or maybe F1 racing taken to the extreme is more your style? This next clip shows a rather brave or maybe just foolish F1 Racing Car Driver taking his car full speed down a winding mountain road. Not for the faint hearted. P.S He doesn't die lol
http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=FF0C3901-0B0D-4912-9BC3-761051EFD4B3&p=0

Or if your more prone to crazy dancing in Supermarkets then this clip is for you. The Moral of the story? Remember that Supermarkets and other stores usually have security cameras, so if you dont fancy ending up on the net, dont take lessons from this guy.
http://www.hedonistica.com/media.php?path=/videos/best_buy_caught_dancing.wmv

Japan, a very foreign place - they even park their cars differently and in a very ingenious way! This is in no way offensive to the Japanese, it actually shows their engineering at its finest! We should so get more carparks like this in Morpeth, it would solve the council's parking problems
http://www.hedonistica.com/media.php?path=/videos/japanese_parking_lot.wmv

I do not condone what is going on in this next clip, but maybe this guy needs to head back to robber school.
http://www.hedonistica.com/media.php?path=/videos/armed_robbery.wmv

This next clip is an incredible eyeopener, it just goes to show you what dedication and persistance can do.
Luca "Lazylegz" Patuelli was born with arthrogryposis, a disorder that affects his bone structure and muscular growth from the waist down. He has been break dancing since the age of 15.

Hehehehehhe what happens when you take a snowman, a high tech alien space craft and some heat?

LMAO Yes of course I'm going to rush out and buy this game straight away after that commercial!
http://www.gaming-age.com/specials/adspecial2/Commercials/Nes/tetris.mpg

This next one is gonna be my last one for now folks and I think I've saved the best till lastt, yes its a motorola advert, but its wonderful! It takes a canny wee time to load but its worth it.
http://ventilate.ca/news_updates/smith_01.html

Okay okay, I know I said the last one was the last one, but I saw this one afterwards and I had to share! I didn't even know Extreme Unicycling existed!

Hope this has brought a smile to your face, it certainly brought a smile to mine!

EXAM TEDIUM



Why can't exam board produce interesting pre-release material?
I thought the Mars stuff might acuatlly be interesting, but no its as dull as a grey rat in a grey room under a grey sky!
The Bessie Smith stuff isn't any better! She was a black, bisexual blues singer in the 1920's and her songs are down right depressing!
Ahhh well I suppose thats just life lol, I'm on my second coffee of the day already and its only 11 O'clock. My exam starts in two hours time...joy! ahh well I can only go in there and do my best.

My peace will be found in God above, his love surrounds me and comforts me. I do not fear this exam like I thought I would.
For He is a wonderful consellor and mighty saviour, with Him by my side I can look the world right in the eye.
May God bless you and inspire you always!

Diagnosis: Se-ver-itis


It would appear that I am suffering from a terrible affliction, called 'Se-ver-itis'.
Se-ver-itis:- an acute obsessive state of mind in which hughly unusual, discriminating females are inexplicably enchanted, seduced and irresistibly drawn like a moth to the flame by The Potion Master of severity Severus Snape. The sight of "black eyes like tunnels", raven lank hair and obsidian robes ensares the senses, inducing symptoms of euphoria, heart palpitations and in some severe cases fainting. One auditory sense in particular known as the 'silky voice' tends to mesmerize females, bewitching their minds and turning them into putty - with a tingling effect that spreads throughout various body parts. Like the source itself, the condition is severe, passionate and all consming, rendering the willing victim with an intense desire for late night detentions wth "The Master's" prescence combined with an eager hope for his correction. While the condition itself is not contagious, his legions of devotees afflicted with the condition are spreading like wildfire accompanied by a characteristic of fierce, intense loyalty. The only known cure is to admit the obsession, embrace it readily and excercise it with abandon...and frequently!
