One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she was just small
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice, when she's ten feet tall
When the men on the chessboard get up
And tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice,
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's lost her head
Remember what the doormouse said,
“Feed your head, feed your head!”
White Rabbit
---Mephisto Walz
And now that there's nothing left
Just a hole above our heads
Letting the sun shine in
That's how the end begins
In a forest fire.
Forest Fire
---The Dream Academy
Don't you get tired of the show
The kissin' ass of all the people that you wanna know
When I was young I thought you had it won
I saw you on TV you made life look fun
But then years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak show
But then there're girls like me
Who sit appalled by what we've seen
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing
Now would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know?
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you
If they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video
Golden Boys

I know everyone has been beside themselves wondering how I've been doing in Bloodborne.
Well, let's just say--I've been doing a lot of dying.
And screaming.
Lots of screaming, standing up, stomping
and spinning around and falling back on the couch
in a trembling rage. This game is fucking hard.
Forget the frenzies, slow poisons, and lack of blood vials. Where's a compass when you need one?
I keep getting lost in the Nightmare Frontier
and the Unseen Village.
And the area enemies and bosses keep getting harder, stronger and more erratic.
Damn that Amygdala---
who I have not been able to beat yet.
But I also thought I'd never beat Father Gascgione
or Rom The Spider.
Oh--and can we talk about the Forbidden Woods?
I fucking HATE snakes. I cannot stand the sight of them.
I am deathly afraid of them.
And those fucking Forbidden Woods were filled with nasty, aggressive, evil snakes--balls of snakes, walking snakes
and Shadow of Yharman Snakes.
That entire part of the game was absolutely horrific for me. Seriously. It was scary and disgusting as all hell--
and just plain torture. And exhausting.
The Forbidden Woods was/is a long/large map
and I had to do all kinds of shit to (finally) clear that entire area. I could barely get through it.
Anyway--just today--after an eternity of deaths and labyrinths, I Finally (fought my way to and) found the fucking key
that lets me into the Upper Cathedral Ward. Jesus Christ.
It was utter hell.
And who killed all the people I sent to the church??
Safe haven my black ass.
What's more terrifying is that I think I am probably not even halfway through the game yet.
Or maybe I am. I don't know.
But what the fuck is up with Eileen??
Why did she try to kill me??
And her crow feathered ass called me crazy???
I am less than you
Less than love
Less than hate
And less than pain
I am less than birth
Less than death
I am not even here
Ain’t got no name
I never was
And never will be
‘Cause there exists
No time for me
I am nil
No colors – no form
Nothing is like me
I want to be
I am endless
Like the space
Between your thoughts
I expand into nothing
And my tears
Turn into stars
Nil
---Project Pitchfork
"I never was. And I never will be."
and
"Nothing is like me."
are my two most favorite lines.
Vincent is most certainly Nil.
Rain is actually my favorite track off this album
(Acid Ocean may be in third place now. Storm Flower is fourth).
But I do love Nil (second place now)
and I think it suits this image--kind of/sort of--
perhaps I should have gone more sci-fi/ethereal/dark.
I'm still not sure if I like the smile on the mask though--
maybe I should have found a more melancholy one.
And I wish you could see my halo better.
Oh well.
This looks better larger btw.
I probably shouldn't have cropped the original
but I can never seem to keep myself from tinkering.

Entity--is still coming.
I have not forgotten.
Such a epic song deserves an epic image---
just don't know how well I can create one on my current computer.
Here I come.

I have been playing The Witness.
And, while enjoying the scenery and wandering around a bit,
have mostly been banging my dumb head
against the aggravating puzzles.
While I am glad someone finally made a great (console)(spiritual) successor to Myst and Obsidian,
I am not pleased to discover I that I am not very bright.
I'm not even that far into the game
and there have already been two locations where I could not even begin the section
because I couldn't even figure out the first damn puzzle.
And since the puzzles
(at least the ones I've come across so far)
are mostly sequential, you have to figure out the
key/pattern that will help you progress
and unlock the cable to the next puzzle.
Sounds simple doesn't it?
Well, it's anything but that.
What, for the love of God,
do the squares inside the squares mean??
I can't figure that one out and it's shown up again
when I peeked into another area.
So far I've completed the entry garden,
the little bunker outside the garden,
that symmetry/boat house area,
the desert ruins area
(except for puzzle that opens the bunker door by the sea)
the pink orchard,
and the two puzzle installations before the pink orchard.
Now that I'm writing this I think I've only activated two lasers.
Oh--I did get the windmill going--
which I noticed has a puzzle on it's face
and which I'm sure will haunt me later-
but that area underneath with the video--is bizarre.
I wasn't able to solve any of those puzzles.
I did solve two puzzles in--shit-
I don't where or what the area is called
but--whatever--I've stopped playing for now.
I would sit there after work staring at the screen so long
trying to figure out a pattern/path
and would eventually feel what energy I had left
just fade right out of me.
I kept nodding out.
So I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
I'll be battling rouge operatives
and storming enemy camps in Singapore at night.
And during the day (on the weekends)
I'll wrestle with The Witness--
on the island of mind bending puzzles--
since I'll be armed with fresh coffee
and a clear head from a full night's sleep.

Everytime you put this mask on your face
A little piece of your soul dies away
The figure in the mirror's not me
A different reality
Just a picture that you see
From my true self, I flee
I change myself to fit the needs
During this mutation my heart bleeds
Trying to adjust to society
Not anymore, I want to be free
Figure in the mirror's not me
A different reality
It's just a picture that you see
From my true self, I do flee.

I'm just a clown
who's feeling down
Since my baby left town.
I'm just a clown
I wanna drown.

---The Electric Company
(The drown part is probably incorrect
as this was a kid's show-
but who knows--kid's can be really depressed too.)
(I used to love the Electric Company.
When we were little boys, my brother and I had the album that featured various songs from the program like Morgan Freeman's Easy Reader,
Punctuation-which I think featured Rita Moreno,
The Counting Pinball Song which featured The Pointer Sisters-I actually just discovered that it was the Pointer Sisters earlier this year,
and The Silent E song.
I'm going to do a Silent E SL picture soon.
Alakazam!)

I love love LOVE this outfit.
Another random set of pieces that I put together on a whim.
I look pretty damn good here--if I say so myself.
Perhaps I'll even wear this to work tomorrow.
That will certainly shake the sheep up.
And I'll probably have to think of a real Wraeththu name
now that I have discovered the Saltrock sim here in SL
(and I also happen to be currently reading "Book 3"
of the Wraeththu histories).
But I do like my name as is, Vadrian Lexenstar.

I only came here to dance--
and, even after all these many many years, Living On Video,
is still a super song to spin and shake your spaceship to.
Synthesizers set to maximum warp.
The keyboards are killer
and
LIVING!
Left out in the dark alone
To see what you are made of
Nobody gives a hand
When you're in deepest pain
Crying both your eyes out
And swallow all your pride
I'm longing for the day
That you return to me again
And see me in the brightest light
That you have ever seen
With my heart open wide
To love you once again
Like I have done before
But you chose to ignore
I'll wait here for evermore
I'll wait here forever and ever more
I'll wait here until you return to me
I'll wait here
Forever
---Angels & Agony
This really should have been titled: He Doesn't Want Me 3
I fell in love this past month--certainly a very deep like and want.
But--in that bright light,
I blinded myself
and, once again, fell over the fucking cliff.

Perhaps Dr. Stack could have helped me prevent this.
But it's me.
Always me.
Chasing the wrong guy
Down a dark highway
And then wondering why I end up broken and bloody again
Alone in a muddy damn ditch.

Anyway--
I actually used to dance to this song at Neo.
I wonder if the dj still plays it.
The fucking impossible, ridiculous, storm riding, Nameless King is one of the hardest bosses I have ever fought in a game.
It's a miracle my controller still works since I have thrown into the floor so many times.
It's stupid of me, I know. I know.
It's how I broke my PS3 controller two or three years ago.
It's how I corrupted my Borderlands 2 game.
I just go into these rages.
So many times during this game I have stood up and screamed at the top of my lungs and then lunged at the Playstation wanting to rip it from the tv
and throw it with full fucking force into the wall.
I--Jesus--my blood pressure is going up just writing this.
Anyway--back to that damn king without a name.
Have I said I hated him yet?
I hate him.
And he's an optional boss!!
Optional my black ass.
He was a complete and blessed nightmare.
I thought that piece of shit Pontiff Sulyvahn was bad.
I thought Aldrich and his god damned arrows were bad.
Noooo.
And as absolutely infuriating as those motherfuckers were
(I won't even embarrass myself telling you how many Embers I lost fighting and dying to those bitches over and over)
they were nothing at all compared to the Nameless King.
I fucking HATE him.
And even after I finally beat his bitch ass--
which just happened yesterday--
and which took well over a week
(at countless times a pop)--
I still hate him.
I seriously close my eyes and cringe at the thought of NG+.
