I've been posting so many quizes. Please excuse my mindlessness. Now for the real stuff:

Lately, life and society has felt like a big train, going around and around in circles and the only way to get off of it is to jump off while it's still moving. We're all sitting inside of this big train looking out, wishing we could jump off, but we are all too afraid of what might happen. One might get lucky and land on a matress, or on the other hand, one could land in a field of spikes. Of course there is middle ground, one might land in a bed of rocks-- gain a few bruises, but eventually the bruises would heal and one's body would be stronger than it was. But the thing is, hardly any of us jump off of the "society train" because the only sign we see left from those who jump off is their blood splattered on the window. There is not sign of the people who land on matresses because they just get up and walk away unharmed, no sign left from their journey. Because of this, the people still stuck inside the society train just look at the blood on their windows and think "Ooh, well I suppose that is what would happen if I were to jump off, so I better just stick inside where I am sure to be safe. Sure I might be limited in here, but at least I won't end up like that," but they never see any signs of the good things that can happen because when the driver of the society train thinks you might be having ideas of your own, he just speeds up the train so there is no time to look around at all of the other possibilities. I hope that one day enough people will decide to jump off of the train, until one day, the train windows will be so covered in blood that everyone on the train will be encouraged to jump off too so they can see what is actually outside of those tinted windows.

But what after that? Encouraging people to jump off is still controling them. And if they did jump off, anarchy would surely ensue. In some sense, some of us need the safety and guidance the train provides, but what if we want to explore more? I feel like a puppet or a dog on a leash; I like the safety and reassurance I get in knowing that somebody is holding on to me, but sometime's I just wish my leash were a little bit longer. I suppose I am just looking for something that cannot be found...


Hopefully some of that made sense.

On a lighter note...

    On Saturday, I saw HIM with Vera. It was so amazing! The show was almost cancelled because Ville was pretty sick (you could hear how stuffy his nose was when he spoke), but thank goodness the show went on! When we got there, I tried to get us into the pit  by insisting to the ticket man that my ticket said "floor" even though it clearly read "mezz." In the end, he just replied in a "silly you" sort of voice "No it doesn't!" and pointed me to the stairs.
    Auf der Maur and Monster Magnet opened. I liked both of them, but I my mother and Vera did not liek Monster Magnet (my mom actually WANTED to go see HIM which frightens me a tad). HIM will be playing again in February. I'd love to go see them, but it's on a Sunday night so it's not likely possible. HIM will be coming out with a new album around next fall, I can't wait! Also, they were featured in the L.A. Times this week!
    The Hives are playing next week at the Wiltern and Marilyn Manson is the week after that. I would have loved to have just slept over at the Wiltern through all of that, especially to see Manson, but alas, the law insists that I get an education.

Don't cry "I need help!" yet go home and turn on the television. The gods don't respect this.
There is no such things as a savior. This is yet another tactic they have employed as temptation, much like "earning" or distractions.
You have to save yourself.

The Man in the Moon clue:::A constant companion, the "Man in the Moon" clue needs to be viewed as a reminder, for this environment is one in which it is very easy to lose your way, either via temptation or distraction.
Look to the sky. Begin to associate the Moon with the clue they impart with this celestial feature. Use it as a reminder to pray, to be god-fearing, for this is a very antient clue and shows their great power.
We only see one side of the moon at all times, another clue from the gods:::There is a "dark side" we don't see.

The pinnicle of irony:::ED pharmeceuticals.
Take a poison which will cost you your body/health to defeat the god's favor, their way of imparting wisdom to help you avoid damaging behavior.
There is a BIG LIE here. Sigmund Freud proves it.
Wine proves it. Democracy proves it. Materialism/greed proves it.
The middle management tactic allows them to maintain this perception of an "absentee good (Christian) god", ensuring one of the goals of the United States remains useful::::NO FEAR!!!
The gods instruct Artificial Intelligence to employ evil as temptation. If people still believed in the Devil at least they would be on the lookout. Resign to be good.
Where does the Biblical number "666" ocurr within the context of The Beast, the San Francisco Bay Area???

The presence of California casinos is just like my cop example, like Italians and blacks, like so many other example indicitive of the god's methodology:::Use one disfavored to prey on another.
Just as the gods corrupted the Italians into the hunt with the Moorish invasion, so did they use the KKK as scapegoat, rednecks corrupted by 1906 to facilitate the act. It was the Italians who did the actual killings.
