So, it's been 4 months.

And I still don't care about Xanga. My real thoughts are elsewhere. But, since you bothered to click here, I highly recommend The CCM Patrol. Why, yes. They are brutally honest about your favorite Christian musicians. I'd put "Christian" or "musicians" in quotation marks, but I don't know which is usually more shallow.

Substance. No matter how an album may appear, any inspection of its lyrics usually reveal stupid clichés and shallow thoughts. I listen to a thousands albums and come across one or two with a single introspective sound clip. Even if you disagree with him, Derek Webb is… an exception.

Read Full Review.

So existential, yet so communal.
So liberal, yet so conservative.
So postmodern, yet so rational.
So heretical, yet so orthodox.
So stoic, yet so emotional.
So together, yet so untogether.
So epicurean, yet to so platonic.
So Protestant, yet so Catholic.
So passive, yet so impulsive.

Let the fool who figures me out never try to inform me, for I have but one lifetime.

Still not using this, but hello anyway. Xanga is far too childish for any substantial thought. The medium destroys any meditation.

This is where I recommend something. Use something other than Xanga. Nothing substantial is posted (or read when posted) on these things. Get a journal. Get a life. Oh, wait. I've used Xanga. That's right, and I posted substantial things until this audience proved itself human. So enough of that.

Read The Fairie Queene and Lilith. Watch Pan's Labyrinth.

The Ideal still exists, even if its shadow has been destroyed. Through pain we find ourselves. It is not in comfort that we learn, but in struggle. It is not in ease, but in pain. "The knights of infinity are dancers and possess elevation."

Go on, get lost.

Somehow xanga doesn't quite cut it. It'll still be here for the many who read and never reply, but I'm going to move my longer thoughts elsewhere.

In an artificial subconscious reality, we express ourselves within a world created as we see fit. Everything in a dream is what we make it. Everything that is real is what we will it to be. A dream is a postmodern universe. What that universe is comes from us and then contains us. Here every man does philosophize. We explore the labyrinth of our minds below consciousness, behind the shroud of strict awareness, even beyond good and evil. We establish a world based on ourselves and explore this world nightly. Here everything that happens to us is done by us in a world with moral laws established from us. It is as chaotic as our selves, as coherent as our beliefs, and as realistic as our philosophies. The unhinged child dreams of simplistic randomness. She grows and finds coherence as her mind matures, her world solidifies, and her philosophy calcifies. Dreams are indicative of the state of our minds. If they stay the dreams of children, then perhaps the minds are the minds of children.

Yet Another Concert

Levi Weaver, Kid Beyond, Imogen Heap.

Death Cab last week was very good, but this week was amazing.

So let go, jump in.
Oh well, whatcha waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then, I contradict myself;

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
