Pagans are wicked awesome

I get along very well with pagans. I'm not sure why. I'm not pagan, I'm not really religious at all, but their personalities seem to mesh well with mine. I never discuss religion with them so it isn't a direct correspondence. I don't really know much about modern paganism. I know the basics of the concepts behind it, but I don't any more about the different strains of paganism that are around now than someone who says "All Christians believe in Jesus and are therefore all the same."

The concept interests me. Especially since I have never actively tried to befriend pagans (Should pagans be capitalized? Probably, but I wouldn't want to go all "politically correct" now, lol). I have never been extremely close friends with any pagans, none that I've been on "best friend" terms, or anything like that, but I've been casual friends with enough of them to realize that there's something to it. I know it's not directly due to the fact that they're pagans, but I also know that there is a vast array of personality traits that one must possess to be open-minded about religion and a number of other of life's mysteries.... and some of those traits must be present in order for me to really want to get to know someone. Or, more importantly, for me to actually be able to stand being around them for any significant length of time.

Perhaps a beginning...

Inspiration is fleeting and should never be squandered. But at what expense? We often put things off, thinking that they can wait. How many times have ideas been lost forever because we didn't have the necessary time to bring them to life? It also leaves one to wonder what your priorities are. If I'm sitting at work and I'm suddenly struck by inspiration it is likely I will ignore it. Perhaps I will daydream about it for a minute or two, compose something that sounds more brilliant in my head than anything I've ever committed to paper, sometimes I will ever scratch out a note to myself, under the guise that I will be able to pick up the inspiration again, right where I dropped it off. But that seldom happens. I'm not the type to get inspired often. I will have a few moments, or sentences of brilliance and then rant off into the night. Sometimes my brain works so fast that I will lose something important to the ether before I'm able to finish fleshing out the current thought. And then it's gone. Like it never even happened. So what does one sacrifice in order to do what feels right?

Dear Jesus, please bring me a pony for xmas... I promise I've been a good girl.

I hate how much religions seem to be centered around alleviating people's fear of dying. Religions concentrate on these sets of rules you have to follow and if you don't follow them Santa won't let you into Heaven. Now isn't that some fucked up shit. 

Muse, for my lack of

So, I haven't been on in awhile because of the move. However, I'm finally in San Diego and finally have internet access! Yay!

Anywho, I'm going to be writing quite a bit about my observations, annoyances, and irritations in regard to California, moving and life. I have a whole list of things I plan to write about, but for now I'm taking it slow and, since we're just getting settled in to our new place and new routines, you get this:



I've been hearing this song off and on without really paying it much mind. But I finally decided to take notice of it and I really like it.

I'll stop with the videos soon.... I swear.

In other news....

I'm moving in under a week. Yeah. I'm borderline freaking out, but only on the inside. *sigh*

Yeah, California seems bad ass, but at the same time I know it took about a year until we felt right in State College and by that time we were leaving. That especially sucked because I left behind some really awesome people. Some of whom just got engaged on Halloween! and I'm extremely excited for.

Dani + Ian: You guys are fan-fucking-tastic. I love you. <3

More Musical Musings...

I like this song, and I really don't care who knows it. :)


This one, well, it's a great song. However, I almost wish I had never experienced this video. This guy should have never been permitted to be immortalized in film....especially his teeth. gah.
