S4LEM - Deliciously Dark









There is not much I can say about this except... Thank you.
The genre of music (Witch House) is phenomenal.

What Is Real?

















It is strange how living abroad, even for a short period of time, alters your perception of reality. Your perspective becomes skewed and your thoughts vacillate.

Distant lands become home,
Unconventional customs become one's own,
And one becomes incomprehensibly attached to a world that is not their own.

Where do I belong? How can a place that I have never been to FEEL like the place that I should have always been? Is this my life? Or was that?

Whichever it is, I have to get back to living, and leave this state of suspended animation.

The ultimate goal is to regain my equilibrium...

Borders, The Final Frontier

















Arizona has created and passed a law that allows local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants. Some people are against the law, while others are for it, stating that the illegal workers are taking the jobs of "Regular Americans".

The fact of the matter is, if people can't find jobs they aren't looking hard enough or aren't willing to do the type of work that is being offered to them. Blaming that on an "illegal" that specifically came here as a way of supporting themselves by working extremely hard at jobs most people probably wouldn't want to do is wrong and extremely near-sighted.

As I read through the hatred and ignorance within the comments of articles and blog posts, I couldn't help but think that the ultimate goal for the creators of these types of laws is to incite anger and create a division between our nation's oppressed people. It's time to focus on the big picture and truly see what they are trying to do. Don't become what they want you to become...

Focus



Perceptions and appearances are a funny thing.

It is very hard for people to see themselves as acting in a way that would be viewed as immoral or unethical by others. Yet if that person were to really peer into their soul, they would be surprised by what they would succumb to… even if it was just to satisfy some sort of carnal desire or longing.
In fact these desires are what makes us who we really are, and no matter how much we try to portray a more wholesome or widely accepted persona, we are not being TRUE to ourselves.

If we continue to live by these self-imposed "handcuffs", we risk living our lives "out of focus", with only a glimpse of ourselves exposed for the world to embrace.

My question is, Is this truly leaving one's mark? Or are we scared of what we may find just under the surface if we REALLY explore our boundaries? What impression are you choosing to leave?

Still Here






My eyes still stay red... burning with the fire from within,
Darkness still beckons,
Nothing has changed,
It has only been but a minute.


More to come...

The Rebirth














The words are empty,
emotions are fleeting,
These concepts match my innermost thoughts.

Trapped within a quandary,
Despair is inevitable,
Are these really my innermost thoughts?

Time to reconnect with oneself,
Metamorphose into the entity that one craves to be,
A formal re-introduction of sorts,
Unravel the mystery and reveal thyself!

Hello Seahorse! - Bestia






Hello Seahorse! is a Mexican, Bi-lingual Alternative Rock/Pop band that was started a couple of years ago. Although their second album "Bestia" was released a couple of months ago, I am happy that they are really starting to get the respect they deserve. They will be in the NYC area in a few weeks, so I am definitely going to go and check them out.

Enjoy their title track Bestia below!!!
