That's right, creative media. Creativity. Art. Sounds. Lyrics. Words. Essays. Writings. Images.

Whatever it is, whatever you do; whatever you create, post it here. Share your outer-most potential for your inner-eye's inevitable release from the mundane and worldly.

S'pose I'll start us off with a little bit of Sade-poetry.

Form

Educate the sunrise, bleeding colors through the motionless.
How dissonant.
So instinctive, I
Defend my failing eyes from static’s end.
Give me time to rescind.
This paraplegic black and white will make amends,
I pretend.

Decaying, I
Form the images of the dissent.
Dividing, I
Contort the colors.
Put to sleep the hypnotic.

Splinter the inert, medicated holograms;
How discordant.
So visceral, I
Descend past and through technology’s end.
Give me time to make amends.
This hypnotic colorless entity is barely out of breath.

As the atmosphere weakens our dissent.
As the hypnotic wake from their content.
As the static forms the image of the end.
I pretend.

Captured in Time: A True Self Image
Hell, heat, light, darkness, turmoil, strength and bravery. These are the elements that are reflected within this quick snapshot of Cory. At the time that it was taken, it was simply just another picture of Cory being the typical Cory. He was the center of attention here, just as he always was. Yet now it means so much more than just Cory being himself. The fire, the darkness, the body language, and the mess of sticks that are being burned, they all represent Cory and his personality.
We spent many a night as friends around the camp fire at Cory’s house. Whether it was a small gathering of friends or a party where there would be many people that I did not know, it was always the place to be. If Cory’s was having people over, I was there and we always ended up around the camp fire. In spite of this, Cory had a particular problem most nights; he rarely had fire wood in enough abundance to keep the fire going: thus the burning of cardboard boxes came to be.
On this night, the photographer most likely had no idea what they were taking. This is much more than just a photograph, it is a true self image frozen for the rest of eternity. It is a true work of elegant art, yet still so simple.
With a quick glance, the first thing that reaches out is the silhouette of Cory. When my thoughts turn to Cory, I remember someone who was confidant, strong and full of energy. This is shown brilliantly, his stance screams out “look at me, I have created this, this is mine and it shall be claimed by none other”. The tense muscles on his arms show himself to be alert, ready to jump into action, or to defend his creation. Cory standing there, with his hands on his hips − just as superman would after saving the world from another catastrophe − encompasses his personality vividly.
Soon, my glance at the photo turns to the fire that forms the perfect outline around Cory’s body. Fire represents so much of him. The bright yellow and orange flames of the inferno are the fierce intensity that he tackled everything with. The flames seem to wrap around him, as a blanket comforting a child; coming to a point just above his head, where they trail off like the silence of the night. As if to say, “I’ll lend you a silent ear, where you could spill your inner most thoughts.” In addition the flames symbolize the hell and inner turmoil that had engulfed his sense of well being, that crushed his sprit and eventually causing his self destruction.
Eventually my eyes are drawn to the shade of black that frames the fire. This darkness was just that; darkness. This gloom was more than just a shade of colour splashed on as a background. This outline was the ever increasing evil that was, little by little, conquering his mind. The shadow seems as though it is creeping up on the fire, as if to squeeze it out of the picture and turn it into nothingness: taking with it, Cory’s sprit.
As I take one last glance across the glossy surface, I notice the gnarled mess of sticks being engulfed by the flames. Quickly I realize that the sticks are the twisted and confusing emotions that Cory carried with him, hide so precariously behind his mask that had been so carefully crafted. While the flames are Cory’s spirit trying to tear down and free him from the dark emotions that were controlling his life. In all the evil that is represented through this picture; this one last thought is Cory calling out for help, pleading for something to release him from the self torment and agony. It is with this
thought that I pray that Cory is now free from the sickness, the hell and the internal flames that had tormented him for so long.

And this is the picture that goes with the essay.

Cory is my friend that commited suicide in the summer.

My song devoted to Against Me! (browse the punk forum a bit if you're unfamiliar, it'll also help you get all of the references in it).

Favored bands from a time not long gone
Now fortune they've found, and from my shelves they've been torn
Green in their eyes, they've failed to see
Stricken with fame, they're now dead to me

Former practicioners of anarchy
Flooding the airwaves of cable tv
Swayed by their mounting greed
I raise my glass to you....dearest Against Me!

You're losing touch, Mr. Gabel, betraying your roots
I'm searching for a former clarity not found in music video shoots
Do you remember "Crime...?" You used to give 'em hell
You really ought to reinvent yourself

Not dying for what you worked, merely being paid
Now walking is only honest every couple of days
Gaining new fans faster than they could ever be lost
You've done yourself well, Tom, but at what cost?

Role models of last week occupying the garbage can
Say so long to another once-faithful fan
Major labels and mediocre albums are where one must draw a line
I'll find a new band to like for a month before they turn into greedy corporate swine

Mr. Gabel, I sing this song for you
I used to believe the words you sung held true
Your ideals ripped and faded like your designer jeans
Can you still recall quite what anarchy means?

Former practicioners of anarchy
Flooding the airwaves of MTV
Swayed by their mounting greed
I'll really miss you, dearest Against Me!

I also made a myspace page for my bass endeavors. So far, there's a 20 second clip of some shoddy slapping, and the drum and bass for a song in the punk forum band thread. (I did the bass)

"Untitled" by Gregg Albitre

Vincent may not have been the most normal of guys around. He takes pleasure in gibing the football team until they pummel him. He loved getting slapped by girls because of his lewd comments. He lived to have people gape at him until his until his insults sunk in and they snapped their mouths shut with anger. It's not that he's sadistic, well not that much, it's just that he's a masochist. He loves being hurt by those people and it was his sadistic quirk that helped him get his fix.

And, strangely enough, that's why I admire him. He's got enough fortitude mixed in with the stupidity of his actions to capture my admiration. And after spending a few months of watching him from the sidelines, I augmented my determination to talk to him. He's become my favorite near obsession.

I schemed for a few weeks over exactly how to approach him. I used ambidextrous abilities I'd never know I had before and devised the perfect plan. On Friday Morning I deployed the first stage. When Kaylee Smith, the QB's new girlfriend and a cheerleader, opened her locker second period she just so happened to find a leaking hydro-bra dripping cream colored gel all over her boyfriends jersey. The jersey she was supposed to be wearing. A note was pinned to the strap saying "Spring a leak? Wait, that's natural." She, as predicted, pointed the finger at Vincent.

Over the next few weeks I bereft the cheerleaders and football players of assorted items and adulterated their drinks and snacks for practice. I made sure that Vincent, and only Vincent, knew I was the one doing everything. Not once did he rat me out, even though the finger was always pointed at him. When he saw me in the hall ways he'd raise an eyebrow in silent question of if he'd be called down to the office or not that day.

He'd even dropped his guise of being a dour when he was leaving the office on another false accusation. He smiled and winked at me while mouthing 'nice one' before walking on.

That was yesterday and today I had to stay late. To my delight I found Vincent leaning against my lockers. Right now I'm walking towards him and he's gazing at me impassively. I wonder what he's going to do now. "Hello." I said when he took a step back so I could open my locker.

"You've gotten me into quite a bit of trouble lately." He said conversationally. "The football team is assaulting any one that even remotely resembles me. And the school thinks the cheerleaders are all spoiled, whining, bitches. I don't know if I should compliment you or insult you."

I shrugged. "Doesn't matter to me what you do. I just wanted to get your attention." I admitted truthfully.

"And why would you want that?" He asked curiously.

I closed my locker and turned to face him. "Because I want to hurt you."

He looked taken aback. "You what?"

I shot my hand out and grabbed a fist full of his hair and yanked his head down to my level. I was two inches or so shorter. He gasped in pain and his eyes widened. He didn't look frightened, just shocked. Shocked that I'd do such a thing so boldly.

"I said, I want to hurt you." I pulled him closer. His eyes bored into mine. My voice dropped to a husky whisper. "I want to humiliate you and make you beg. I want to see you make this face." I snapped his head back harshly. His face constricted into an odd visage of pleasure-pain and he licked his lips. "And I want to be the one to do it all."

"Never would have pinned you for a sadist." Vincent said but sounded happy about it. His eyes shone with possibilities.

"You should always watch out for us shy, quiet, smart types. You never know when one of us will bite." I punctuate this by biting his ear harsh enough to pierce skin. I licked away the forming droplet of blood from the wound I'd made. He purred deep in his throat. I let go of his hair and shoved his to the ground.

I gave him a feral grin. "Until we meet again." I said with a slight bow before turning on heal and leaving him there, laying on the floor. Judging by the look on Vincent's face my life was about to become a whole lot more fun. But for now, I have a half dozen spoiled eggs to break in the girls locker room. So, if you'll excuse me please, I'll be getting to that.

Little blues tune a friend of mine wrote/showed to me:

You told me you were leavin' and I haven't been so fine
Since you told me you were leavin' got lots on my mind
I won't be the same without you, baby
I'll never be the same

You got all your plans and I got mine, too
But in my mind I always had a vision of you
Oh, I won't be the same without you, baby
I know I'll never be the same

Yeah, I know that in life things change and people go
But I just can't go on without you here to hold me close
I'll never be the same without you, baby
Never be the same

Maybe someday soon you'll change your mind and then you'll see
That I'm the one for you 'cuz I know you're the best for me
Oh I'm just never gunna be the same without you, baby
I'll never be the same

my music

lyrics:
i wrote only one song with lyrics
its called "Nerves" and you can hear it in my soundclick

Verse 1:
I gotta make my way downtown down south
When I heard a scream two miles apart
There were these two guys on the road and i thought what will happen if i joined the mob
I forgot about myself and I lost control
Could not believe that I was on the roll
Feeling happy was my curse and my nerves were blown
but I couldn't believe I was too close to call

Chorus:
It makes you want to lose your mind
It makes you want to touch the sky
It makes you want to lose your mind
So you better watch out or you might just be gone

Verse 2:
Yo this life is like a dream all you need is a pill
To make you go in circles and disappear
Just because of the guys on the side of the road
My temptations were strong and I lost all the words
These nerves of trust These nerves of love
Just happened to be one big funny joke
When I started realizing the people I hurt
This life I was given was already thrown

An essay i wrote quite sometime back... when i was still in school hahaha nothing great.Just wrote it for my girlfriend so she wouldnt get in trouble.. ahaha

As i woke,i heard yet another horrible scream followed by a single gunshot.Then everything was quiet in the inside of the barrack except for the hushed conversations being held by the rest of the "residents" in the camp.The atmosphere was sickening,the smell of fear thick in the air blended together with the foul stench of sweat and burning flesh.You could see the hate and void in the eyes of the other prisoners.It was all the same,no matter who it was their eyes are all the same.Hate,sadness, and emptiness which bordered on the edge of insanity.And I thought to myself,what a way to spending my sixteenth birthday.Half-way through the thought,it was pierced by several other screams,this time they were feminine voices yet again followed with multiple gunshots and the harsh jeers from the Nazi soldiers.Eventhough it was happening outside the barrack,it sent chills down my spine and my stomach still gets tight after all these years because the screams never go away...never.
Whithin moments everybody heard the footfalls approaching our door,everybody seemed to push further away as if whatever was on the other side would bring upon their inpending doom.The footfalls stopped right outside our door and for what seemed like an eternity,the slow metallic screech caused by the rusted lock being opened.Seven armed german SS officers walked in.Mere moments later another man walked in there was barely enough space to fit all of the prisoners and the germans,this man was Ernst Kaltenbrunner.He was yet another one of Hitler's henchmen,the leader of the Austrian SS.He looked around the prisoners,his sharp piercing glance almost as threatening as the barrel of the Luger that was strapped at his side.He was a average built man with sharp features,and his eyes showing alot more malice and racial prejudice than he cared to hide.After accessing the group of prisoners he turned and spoke to the guards in german.The expressions on the guards turned almost feral and immediatly they started pulling out some of the older prisoners.Many family members and friends were crying and pleading the the guards to not take them,some others were too afraid to try.In total 18 prisoners were cleared out.These selected people would be brought to last building at the back of the camp to be put to death.And just like that they left,decisions that juggled the fate of 18 lives were taken so easily.
The cries of the others,brought back painful memories of my own lost loved ones.I sat there an empty vessel of a human being.A mere container of flesh and bone with nothing left to live for with those thoughts,i slipped into unconcsiousness yet again.When i first reached the camp four days ago,i seeked unconsciousness as a place of solace somewhere the screams and sound of gunshots couldn't reach me.The dreams were all the same,i searched and searched for them but found nothing,all there were was screams and darkness.I awoke with sudden jerk that scared the fellow prisoners around me.I looked around and saw many new faces,the small boy closest to me drew back,with a shout bordering on his lips.Many of the new prisoners were jews,i knew this cause all of us were branded with numerial tattoos and had to wear identifying stars on our clothing.Most of the new "patrons" of the camp came from ghetto Lvov.Most of us in the camp have lost sense of time with only the barred windows to tell the difference between night and day.All the prisoners would be stripped and branded with the numerical tattoos when they first get to the camp and then issued to their own barracks.In this families and friends would be separated from each other,prisoners from different barracks weren't allowed to see or come in contact with each other.This was just another method that the SS officers would use to break the spirits of the prisoners.To aid in this,was the way each individual barrack was built seperated by a wall of barb wired and if prisoners who fell to the temptation of calling to loved ones on the other side we would be shot.
Most of the new prisoners from ghetto Lvov were fresh from working hard labour for the germans.And so i realised what a surprise it was to still see such a young boy amongst them earlier.For most of the youngters and elders are killed whithin arrival of the camp.The Nazi's were not only looking to degrade other races but to annihilate them.Inside the barrack,i could see the expressions of the newer prisoners turn afraid as the smell of burning rotten flesh was in the air.I understood how they were breaking the spirits of the captured.Fear.Fear of isolation,fear of confinement,and lastly the fear of death.The last statement was qutie true for the entire camp was ripe with it.Amongst the screams of pain and agony,the several radio speakers contantly spreading Nazi propaganda,word about "cleansing" the world of other "sub-human" races and beliefs.It was true to be seen for next to me,lay a multitude of other races with their own beliefs.Everytime they took prisoners away,they always left a few who could understand their language so they'd instill fear in the other prisoners.
Then we began to hear footsteps followed again by the slow wrenching mettalic sound of the lock,this time it was only two average guards.I could tell them apart from SS oficers because the guards did not have the silver skulls that adorned the hats of all the SS division members.The two men hauled a bag into the room and hastily left,their expressions showed that they couldn't bear the smell of the barrack.As soon as they left,the prisoners who still had energy charged at the bag and began emptying it's contents in hopes for food.The first prisoner,a african american succesfully turned the bag aside only to find a single loaf of bread among it's contents.Immediatly a fight broke out.Then the laughter of two men could be heard from the other side of the door.I lied there with renewed hate for the Nazis.Hate that was almost feral,for they have robbed me of everything i had and now even my dignity.Most of the entire barrack was bloodied by the time the loaf was gone.
Using what will power i had left,i trudged heavily to the back of the room.Every inch felt more exhausting than the last for now i was bordering on starvation.i've not eaten for the past week and have had little water since then.It seemed like an eternity before i actually reached the back of the building and sat with my back against the wall waiting for my bodily functions to fail me.I wanted all the hate,sadness, and fear to be drowned with the void promised by death.I almost thought myself lucky that i did not have to endure the final moments in the execution building.As the thought almost ended,i heard the sounds of many heavy boots outside the door and i heard once more the voice of Ernst Kaltenbrunner.Ironic indeed.

Sidewalk Politics (one of the songs from my new band, Fearsome Planet)

1st Verse:
I wonder if we aren't still afraid of the dark
When I'm passing blurry faces as they hurry past the park.
I'll walk the street as a menacing stranger.
A poorly lit unknown anonymous danger.
Trust starts to die as the moon begins to rise,
Rational people are fearing for their lives.
A fight for survival in the moonlit night,
Sidewalk politics are visible under the streetlights.
Keep your eyes moving and avert your gaze,
Listen for my footsteps as we go our separate ways.

Chorus:
Daylight comforts your sense of safety and civility,
But my actions reflect strength and ability.
You sit inside and shed a tear for humanity,
Yet I walk among the fallen to regain my sanity.

2nd Verse:
On my walk I encounter shadowy figures and wet concrete,
Breathing in the scent I hurry across the street.
Headlights jar my mind from serenity and reflection
About humanities position on our own imperfection.
Why our thoughts turn to sin as we spin from the light.
Why do we deny trust when the day turns to night.
Through the jungle of planters and nervous faces
A thought comes to mind as I stop to tie my laces
Those who fear the unknown see darkness and turn away,
But I’m in search of answers and bored with the day.

Those are pretty neat.
say i wwanted to know, if i want to like figure out 3d studio max, on my own, is that okay, or is it more feasible if i just learn from someone.

also, does this need 1 gb and above Ram?
Thanks.
I learned everything on my own. I started making a game with a friend of mine 5 years ago. We learned everything by ourselves, reading some tutorials on t3h interweb. It's just a hobby for me and 3dsmax is extremely easy to learn how to use. I can help you through MSN, if you want.

I only have 512m of ram and it works perfectly. More is recommended if you start making extremely detailed stuff (7000+ polygons), which is way too much for game graphics. The weapons each have around 200 - 800 polys.

doing something like that in a group in awesome.
i'm not really interested in detail, but loose structure rather, not for a game in particular.

My Poetry

My mortality is seen in:
A gin glass drunk across from me,
held in withered wrist anything
But spry in age;
Grown fat and weak and
bloated with pride still holding an elixir
that ages me

And the other:

The pedals grew wild,
Twisting, exotically attractive,
With a muted green in the stem,
Where pride was growing,
Arrogance, however, was not
Cut into the flower,
But stayed rather uncut,
A jungle vine,
With decorative lust,
A weed in a pompous garden,
Not fitting the tired beauty
Of an artist’s hand,
Furious in it’s own growth,
An untamed spirit of imperfection,
Bursting, and handsome!
And of course,
The lusting of my heart

Spring water removing
bad taste in you mouth
a course of collision
for you to defy

try to forget
what I can't remember
I'm picturing you
a face of a stranger

between me and you
the truth unravels
and speaking of which
I walk under ladders

making a difference
a new beginning
I am moving and
someone is winning

I like taking photos too;

Narcissism is a good name for that set.

and Mistanthropic, the third one down is badass! I love how the flash lit that up in the front. Are you using camera filters or photoshop to get the orange? Proabably both, eh?

Thanks, glad you guys like them.

Actually, I used neither, believe it or not. And my camera is a cheap *** Canon PowerShot A75. All the above images are only resized. And I was very drunk when I took them. After all it was half past four in the morning...

These are some pictures I took while in DC this past November. I used to be into photography in high school and when I started started college, and just have not made time for it lately. Hopefully though that will change. I thought I got some halfway decent pictures, so that was a little inspiring. Here are a few. I like B&W and I like the grain of 3200 speed film. Nothing was photoshopped or cropped.

A Golden Tear (10/07/03)

the sun descends
brilliant splashes
of crimson
amber
and purple

I watch
from my tower
unblinking
as it burns
a streak
all the way down
to the ocean's face
a golden tear

my eyes water
dripping slowly
burning always
never ending
never starting
as the sun
dies
lives
births
ages

the sea washes
across me
I am bled of sorrow
I am broken
and born
anew

I wonder
what will happen
when I close
my eyes
and never
open
them
again

I wonder
what will happen
when I die
if I do not wake
smile
breathe
or dream

shadows lurk
about me
and I cannot
see what
might happen
if I fall
and do not
regain
my
footing

stumble
step
fall
burning bright
returns to me
I am
not afraid

I watch
from my tower
unblinking
as my life burns
a streak
all the way down
to the ocean's face

Three cheers for really shitty poetry.

The prologue to a novella I wrote a few years back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Life of Puppets

Prologue: The End of the Beginning
By: Gregg Albitre

Dust rose from the floor in billowing clouds as Detective Lewis made her way through the large, abandoned storeroom. A crowd of people was already beginning to arrive. Policemen, forensic scientists, and detectives like herself were pacing through the dimly lit room talking into cell-phones or scratching on notepads, all of them trying to look as important as they felt. Detective Lewis scanned the room as she walked, looking for the man who had woken her up with a phone call at 3:30 in the morning and insisted she come to this crime scene.

The room was a mess; boxes covered in dust and dirt, rusted metal, and other trash were strewn carelessly across the wide expanse of the floor, and four bodies covered by sheets were spread at what seemed to be random distances throughout the room. Judging by the location of the murders, an abandoned store house near the west dock, Lewis figured there had been a gang fight of some sort. Someone had been cheated of some drug money, or a pimp's girl had been returned damaged. Either way, this wasn't her territory, and she didn't appreciate being ripped out of slumber to stand in a cloud of dust and chaos. A light touch on her elbow cause her to turn, and she found herself gazing into the pale eyes of a friend.

"Max!" Lewis forced a smile for the older man, attempting to push thoughts of fatigue from her mind. "It's good to know there's someone else here who's over 30."

Her friend's face was grim. "If only more of them were. Come have a look at this." The man took Detective Lewis' hand and began to lead her through the sea of semi-familiar faces. Max made no attempt to explain his comment until he stopped his journey in front of one of the sheet-covered forms.

Detective Lewis looked at him with curiosity and saw her friend nod to the man in charge of guarding the body. The officer paused a moment before reaching down to pull back the sheet.

Detective Lewis' hand flew to her mouth, and something between a cry and a sob escaped before she could stop it. She gazed down at the crumpled form of a 19 year old boy with sandy blond hair. He was laying half on his side and half on his back, his arms flung carelessly off to his sides. Dry lips were loosely parted as though breath still passed through, and the intense eyes had drifted shut. If not for the thick pool of blood which had been allowed to form around his head, the boy would have seemed to have only been sleeping since the gunshot wound was now pressed firmly to the concrete floor by his turned head.

"Oh God." Detective Lewis said, turning her head from the scene and feeling bile rise in her throat despite the fact that she had seen hundreds of dead bodies before. She realized she wasn't used to recognizing them. "That's Jonathan Warren."

Max nodded, taking her elbow to lead her away from the boy. Every cop and detective in the precinct knew the name of Jonathan Warren, though the boy had never been arrested. He had been present at every big crime event in the area for the past two years, but no one could ever connect him to the illegal activity. He'd been called in for questioning countless times. He'd been poked, prodded, threatened, and lied to, and yet he remained as clean as freshly fallen snow and just as cold. It was every cop and detective's dream to catch him at something. They finally had.

Lewis took a deep breath and looked to the man at her side. "Are there any clues yet as to what was going on here and how Jonathan got mixed up in it?"

Max sighed, "Nobody has a clue. The boy was shot at point blank range, like an execution."

Rubbing her eyes, Lewis felt a headache creeping up on her. "He must have had a boss; a higher up that he answered to. A boy that young couldn't have been working alone." This deduction was already old news. "Have any of the other bodies been identified?"

"The one over by the window," Max pointed, "is Mr. James Matthiesen of the Matthiesen Law Firm. Go figure, right? It doesn't make any sense."

Detective Lewis raised an eyebrow. "No. It doesn't." The two walked in silence trough the thickening crowed of people. The reporters were beginning to arrive. Lewis' head snapped up suddenly and she caught Max's eyes in a fierce gaze. "What about Skye?"

Max shrugged. "No sign of him."

The detective pulled out her cell-phone, brow creasing with concentration. "We have to find Skye. Jonathan told that boy everything. If he knew what was going on, then Skye knows as well."

It was in jest. More making fun of the n00b clique that will mimic your every move and reiterate everything you say. I know you don't like the attention, so I just figured this would be funny. And I needed a pseudo plot-point for a hadoken.

so i pawned the gun,
and bought this second hand acoustic
made some money, got some gigs
got to a point of fame
people knew my name
then i bought a better gun

She was walking down the street when I first saw her
All swinging hips and pouty lips of red
She looked at me, I looked at her, she smiled
Then someone dropped a piano on her head

And now she's dead, my baby's dead
A smear of blood and guts and bones
She's dead

I paid my last respects at her funeral
Her sister was a sobbing grieving wreck
I introduced myself and grinned and winked at her
Then she slipped into the grave and broke her neck

And now she's dead, my baby's dead
A broken, twisted, bloated corpse
She's dead

The mother of both women was now quite distraught
I tried to help her through the tragedy
We spent the night together in a hotel room
But when I woke she lay dead next to me

And now she's dead, my baby's dead
A lifeless bag of withered skin
She's dead

(I think I pushed her too hard)

A few weeks later I went down the corner pub
And drowned my sorrows in a pint of beer
The barmaid was a hotty, so I picked her up
Then her boyfriend shoved a pitchfork in my ear

And now I'm dead
I'm stone cold dead
Impaled rather callously
With clinical lethality
I was in all reality
A victim of brutality
Killed in a fit of jealousy
A regrettable fatality
All romance is a fallacy...

I'm dead.

So you've finally come. After meddling so much in matters of fiery importance where the coutanace of men's place is all but gone. Questions, questions, and more questions. I know this is all you have, after all, it's blasphemy to question God, but far be it for me to turn you away. Manifested in the malvolience of my visage is the same aura you hold. I took hold of questions, ones that begged of an answer in the midst of a carrion begging for shameless decadence. There is a pity I have for you, it's forged from a mistake, meaningless to you, but everything for me.

(Why?)

"Why?" Hah. There is no answer for why. The entinty that is a human being is a pretentous creature full of doubt, fear, loathing, and none the less, hope. It's always easiest to believe in good rather than evil, in sight of forgiveness, love, passion, and all things from divinity. But the orgins of which are obscure, even to one such as I. Love, you may take is divine, in all rights. It's born of an outlandish orgin of standards unconcievable to you. A beautifull creation that comes from the purest of feelings, ones that we're both destined to feel. The essence of you're being was derived from this feeling, something so magnamous that has no other meaning than what it is. Can you define that? No. But that's not entirely the point. The point is that you may understand love in it's truest form, and yet it cannot usually co-exist without something born of hell. Passion, loves unrestrained fury. The very thought of it resides in a mortal sin, lust, vanity, and all other things that humans are capable of.

Despite it all, would you like to know the one thing that makes ME of all people, angry? Hell...is not my torcher, it's a place for people like you. People who in essence are ignorant enough not to question the almighty. In it's right, it's a prison, a cage, for free rampant thought. It can't be brought down, or escaped, or dealt with in any manner. It was mistake. With this place, and everything in it, it's in contrast to all that is right. It's Christ's Pandora's box. All it did was open up a place for life as we know it to comprehend and contrast all that is right and wrong in the world. Without the very beginning of wrong as we know it, and my deeds as a whole, there would be no paradox, no exceptions, all would be, for lack of a better term, ok. Imagine a world where no one was give a choice to chose wrong. No one had the knowledge of murder, lust, gluttony, blasphemy, or treachery. No one even THOUGHT to question how things began, and most of all, how they will come to end. With a blank slate in front of us, all we know and could do is be right. After all, created in His image, we're left but one example. Tell you. I. And the rest of the world was blessed with insight. There in lies His problem. We KNOW now, or rather you, I, and all who suffer and serve. It's not a paradox anymore, we have the breathe of hate, loathing, and abhorance breathed into our face, and who are we but to inhale? Corruption, deceit, death, lies, treachery. That's how it started. But on... When Christ walked your earth, attempting to face the trials and tribulations of humanity, he made a decision, I don't even think He is concious of it. He made something no longer important. He died, death and forgiveness lost their sanctity.

NOW IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO BE FORGIVEN. Now you know what comes next, correct? At the astonishment of all the suffering he bestowed upon humanity, as it were. He needs a scapegoat, someone to blame. Who better than the fallen Morning Star, his blessed left hand man, Lucifer, the DEVIL, as you like. Re-instillment beckons, after all, a shephard must heard his sheep to keep them in line. Fear. That's why you're here. You feared what was after death, now you know. But that fear instead led to questions, questions of heresy, blasphemy, and invetablly, me. There were now too choices, lead your life with faith and hope, or take upon of life of the inevitable. Questions. Mindless...pointless...questions.
