“I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven’s name, why is it so important to think the same things all together. ” - Sartre

I quit because you all suck (Not you, Ben)

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 23:21:11 -0500

I’ve decided to delete the tumblr app off my phone and iPad. Tumblr is too self-important, too opinionated and too populated by a much younger, dumber generation. Most posts are generic LOOK AT THIS PERSON DO THIS THING REBLOG SO EVERYONE SEES IT concepts (also known as chain mail if you remember the 20th century) and the fucking “Internet 2.0” slang is obnoxious as hell. I bet you most of these kids don’t even know what kkool is.

Anyway, I’m quitting because you’re pulling me down to your level and it sucks and fuck you and fuck Homestuck and fuck pretty much everything Generation Y and I hope you all do that college prank where you see how many people can fit into a two-door sedan and you all get stuck and the car catches fire and you suffocate to death on the offal melting off the person on top of you.

I hate you like a person hates a papercut on the palm of their hand.

The barracks, from the Super Nintendo game, “Wing Commander.”

I’ve never played the SNES WC port. This image is all sorts of interesting after going through the original game recently.

Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:21:00 -0500

“

These will I give you, Astair:
An armlet of frozen gold,
Gods cut from the living rock,
And carven gems in an amber crock,
And a purple woven Tyrian smock,
And wine from a pirate’s hold.

Kings shall kneel at your feet, Astair,
Emperors kiss your hand;
Captive girls for your joy shall dance,
Slim and straight as a striking lance,
Who tremble and bow at your mildest glance,
And kneel at your least command.

Galleys shall break the crimson seas
Seeking delights for you;
With silks and silvery fountain gleams,
I will weave a world that glows and seems,
A shimmering mist of rainbow dreams,
Scarlet and white and blue.

Or is it glory you wish, Astair,
The crash and the battle-flame?
The winds shall break on the warship’s sail,
And Death ride free at my horse’s tail,
Till all the tribes of the earth shall wail
At the terror of your name.

I will break the thrones of the world, Astair,
And fling them at your feet;
Flame and banners and doom shall fly,
And my iron chariot rend the sky,
Whirlwind on whirlwind heaping high,
Death and a deadly sleet.

Why are you sad and still, Astair,
Counting my words as naught?
From slave to queen I have raised you high,
And yet you stare with a weary eye,
And never the laugh has followed the sigh,
Since you from your land were brought.

Do you long for the lowing herds, Astair?
For the desert’s dawning white?
For the hawk-eyed tribesman’s coarse, hard fare,
And the brown firm limbs, hard and bare,
And the eagle’s rocks and the lion’s lair,
And the tents of the Israelite?

I have never chained your limbs, Astair;
Free as the winds that whirl.
Go if you wish, the doors are wide,
Since less to you is an emperor’s pride,
Than the open lands where the tribesmen ride,
wooing the desert girl.

"“For remember, that it is altogether your world now. You and all the rest. We have delivered you..."

“

“For remember, that it is altogether your world now. You and all the rest. We have delivered you from evil, but the evil that is inside men is at the last a matter for men to control. The responsibility and the hope and the promise are in your hands-your hands and the hands of all men on this earth. The future can not blame the present, just as the present can not blame the past. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world.

“For Drake is no longer in his hammock, children, nor is Arthur somewhere sleeping, and you may not lie idly expecting the second coming of anybody now, because the world is yours and it is up to you. Now especially since man has the strength to destroy the world, it is the responsibility of man to keep it alive, in all its beauty and marvelous joy.

“And the world will still be imperfect, because men are imperfect. Good men will still be killed by bad, or sometimes by other good men, and there will still be pain and disease and famine, anger and hate. But if you work and care and are watchful, as we have tried to be for you, then in the long run the worse will never, ever, triumph over the better. And the gifts put into some men, that shine as bright as Eirias the sword, shall light the dark corners of life for all the rest, in so brave a world.”

”

- Susan Cooper, Silver on the Tree

Still the greatest fantasy cycle in the last 50 years and what a perfect, beautiful ending. Harry Potter is unfit to even stand in its shadow.

"” “He who seeks, easily gets lost. All loneliness is guilt”—thus speaks the herd...."

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:11:28 -0500

“

” “He who seeks, easily gets lost. All loneliness is guilt”—thus speaks the herd. And you have long belonged to the herd. The voice of the herd will still be audible in you. And when you will say, “I no longer have a common conscience with you,” it will be a lament and an agony. Behold, this agony itself was born of the common conscience, and the last glimmer of that conscience still glows on your affliction.

“But do you want to go the way of your affliction, which is the way to yourself? Then show me your right and your strength to do so. Are you a new strength and a new right? A first movement? A self-propelled wheel? Can you compel the very stars to revolve around you?

“Alas, there is so much lusting for the heights! There are so many convulsions of the ambitious. Show me that you are not one of the lustful and ambitious.

“Alas, there are so many great thoughts which do no more than a bellows: they puff up and make emptier.

“You call yourself free? Your dominant thought I want to hear, and not that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? There are some who threw away their last value when they threw away their servitude.

“Free from what? As if that mattered to Zarathustra! But your eyes should tell me brightly: free *for* what?”

”

- Nietzsche, excerpt from “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”

Please, do not confuse my attention and nature with other people’s shallowness or irresponsibility with you. If I am talking or we’re interacting, its because I’m there for a reason and that reason is you. I’m not saying I’m better than anyone else but if I’m giving you any sort of attention, you’re in a very small circle of people. Keep that in mind and don’t abuse my better nature? I don’t think thats a lot to ask.

fuckyeahb5:

Here is Robert Rusler in the PC FMV Space Fighter game, Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom, holding a knife up to Mark Hamill’s throat.

In it, Rusler plays one of the principle villians… a genetically engineered super-soldier.

I can never, take him seriously at all in this game. Thank you very much Babylon 5.

Ironically, I’ve never, ever been able to take anything about Babylon 5 - seriously or otherwise.

“This guy reading the newspaper on the subway is Keanu Reeves.

He is from a problematic family. His father was arrested when he was 12 for drug dealing and his mother was a stripper. His family moved to Canada and there he had several step dads.

He watched his girlfriend die. They were about to get married, and she died in a car accident. And also before that she had lost her baby. Since then Keanu avoids serious relationships and having kids.

He’s one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. He said: ‘I live in a flat, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an empty house?’

One of his best friends died by overdose, he was River Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix’s brother). Almost in the same year Keanu’s father was arrested again.

His younger sister had leukemia. Today she is cured, and he donated 70% of his gains from the movie Matrix to Hospitals that treat leukemia.

On one of his birthdays, he got to a little candy shop and bought him a cake, and started eating alone. If a fan walked by he would talk to them and offer some of the cake.

He doesn’t have bodyguards, and he doesn’t wear fancy clothes.

When they asked him about ‘Sad Keanu’, he replied: ‘You need to be happy to live, I don’t.’”

Keanu Reeves is awesome.

i wanna buy this man a drink someday i swear

He is and will ever be one of my favourite people.

There’s a fine line between pulling off the Lindsay Weir and looking like Rick from Degrassi.
