Quote Of The Day: "No one ever said this would be easy my dear. Magic is not something simply used by commoners, it requires all the things which women do not normally posses; logic, reason, rationality, commitment to a single purpose, a willingness to do what you must to gain your goal, and above all the obtaining of knowledge above all other matters. So you see, yours is not the gender to wield such power." ~Lord Overon Minite I
Id explain the quote but it'd give away too much about something im writing. At any rate its not necessairly true anyway. Tonight I watched "Bram Stokers: Dracula" (the movie) and I can never forget how much I love both it and the book. Mr. Stoker truly understood the nature of good and evil, what it is to love so deeply and care so much for one person that even death itself cannot stop you. No man living can truly say that, even me, for how many of us can say that we would defy god himself, death, life, and all other things for the single purpose of being with the one you love? Hard to comprehend it is. Love is something that has recently been re-ignited within the heavens of my mind, brought to life anew by the presence of divinity within my life. I have loved only twice thus far in my life, the first was long and ultimately fruitless but may the spirits above and whatever god there be let this second love bare the fruit of my labors. If I lose this time, I may end ip losing more than I am willing to. With the last loss I lost only a bit of pride and no more but this time i may end up losing something wonderful, trusted, and beautiful in every sense of the word that that entails. I call out to each and every one of you in your aid and insight into this, let your minds and ideas come together as one unto me so that I may form a better understanding from the conglomerate knowledge which you collectively posses.
Oh yeah, by the way, I moved the coutner to below my profile. Yep we've made it past 1200 already. In the lesser amount of time that we have all gathered here to read my thoughts and ideas we have grown bigger than even the wonderful, beautiful, and talented Angel's Blog which inspired yours truly, the one and only Lord Shawn, to create this masterpiece. So in honor of Angel I have began writing again, this time in the form of "The Journals of Lady Chantal". I will post this in The Archive as soon as I can along with some new poems and maybe some other writings and musings of mine. But for now I bid you all good night and more importantly a wonderful All Hallows Eve, a happy Halloween, a divine All Saints Day, and a "get bent" to all of you who recognize no holiday this time of the year.
A journey into the mind of madness and into the heart of the confused.

With Re-Newed Spirits The Traveler Started Down The Chosen Path, Sword Held High And Shield In Hand
Quote Of The Day: "Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy." ~The Marquis De Sade
Yep, two entries in just one single day. I must admit I feel rather good today, though I easily could have gone the other way. Tonight I come to speak about arrogance and humility. Many people describe me as arrogant, others simply say "ass", some even think themself intelligent enough to use two syllables words like "pompuous ass". What do I think? how do I respond to that? Normally I shrug it off or agree but I think I have a better way to answer my critics. Get some semblence of intelligence you dumbasses. That is how I answer them now. Am I arrogant? Yes. Should it matter? No, I am a confident being who believes himself capable of great things. That is much more than i can say for others who question their worth and themselves. This is not true for all of you of course. Some of you have my protection of my own wrath and anger, Angel for one, though she is not without her own defences. But for you who want to criticise me, then by all means go ahead but do it with intelligence, I have no time for idiots. But what makes me so confident? I am confident becuase I know I am capable of so much, that I am maintain a level of purity and honor not seen in most, and that I am a good and honest person at heart, that I defend my friends, I honor my enemies. But to all of you that think I need to be more humble than by all means try your best, if you are confident in your thought then be strong enough to back it up with actions.

Awakening From A Long And Interesting Dream The Traveler Knew Now A New Path Lay Before Him, One That Could Lead To Great Reward Or Terrible Humility
Quote Of The Day: "Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning." ~William H. Gates
How very true, though I dont think Mr. Gates quite meant it the way I am interrpreting it. I see this more of a quote about human partnerships, but then again even in the business world the principal is still the same basic one, that we need close knit partnerships to survive and prosper. Imagine what you would be without the people around you, where you would have gotten. I can honestly say that without the support of others I would easily have fallen from my esteemed grace more than a few times but it is because fo those others that I retain my pride, my confidence, and my purity of body and spirit. Scoff all you'd like but look around you at those who barely know their own existence, those who walk listlessly down the path of life and never dare to test the fires and get singed a little. Those who tell you life is not a game or at least comprable to one do not know what it is to live. We each play it differently, and some games are even compatible, others are not, and we seek out our own or similar games. As many can easily surmize my game is Chess, and poker to a much esser extent. Chess because I am calculating and can see a step ahead of others, and I am very good at it. Poker because of the calculation, but it is my assesment of the risk involved in actions that tend to make me a far too cautious poker player. One might say that with my right hand I set the board while I deal the cards with my left, the left being my weaker and less favored hand. But what happens when you meet people who play the same or similar games? Well in the world of games the idea is to win and crush your opponent but thats not always the best way to have fun, the fun comes in playing another player who can bring you to a standstill and sometimes its even fun to lose. In friend we seek out the game to keep playing, never to have a standstill or to lose, but to continue enjoying the game itself. In an enemy we seek to utterly destroy and gain advantage over. But in a lover or mate we seek to either maintain a standstill or we sabotage ourselves to lose but can never truly realize that. Now the better question, how often do I win? The answer? More often than not. How often do I lose? Only on ocassion. How often do I sabotage myself or come to a standstill? Rarely if ever. I have always held the belief that a "loss" is defined by when you do not win. Not when your opponent wins and you do not but when you do not win. This means that I have long considered standstills a loss. As everyone knows, I absolutely hate to lose, its utterly appalling to me. But in examining some things I realize that there are times when I lose and i never seem to care, or I am fought to a standstill and I do not care. These are the times when I am around Angel and speaking with her or when I am arguing with Stafire. I will not speculate about this odd behavior in me concerning Angel, but I shall with Starfire. I see much of myself in Starfire, and how could I help but feel some pride at knowing that at least I have lost or gotten a standstill from such a worthy opponent that shares much of my traits. Of course defeat in Starfire always comes as somewhat of a shock to me, because it means that i too can lose and I see my own weaknesses reflected in that. We are not the same person of course but in being so much alike it is disturbing to see a loss there even if that loss is to me. This is not so with Angel, though I can speculate as to why it is so, but I will refrain from that. I will return later this evening to speak more but for now Kyrie Eleison per Mia Culpa.

The Traveler Seemed Entranced And Enscorcelled By The Bright Angel Before Him
Quote Of The Day: "Relationships are like Rome. Difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'Golden Age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt.. that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soulmate, and your love."
A truly truthful and lovely quote if ever there was one. Hello friends. Tonight I come to you in a humble mood for that is what the power of certain emotions invokes in a person. Before I delve into that I want to go through some other matters of greater importance. First and foremost is the On Broadway Theatre’s production of “Dracula”. Many of you know that I swore id never go near it and there was no way in all of frosty ass hell id go to see it. However it appears I was mistaken for I have seen it twice now and I did enjoy myself both times. But before your judgments come down upon me let me first explain. First I had no interest in the show itself what so ever, the thing that compelled me to go was the fact that Angel was in it as a vampress and as Mina Harker, both of which she gave a stunning preformance. My thoughts as to the rest of the show are less than encouraging but seeing her was all that mattered. Angel is a wonferdul actress, I encourage you all to go see it if for no more reason than to watch her. I would take the time here normally to point out that a certain somes girlfriend is wrong about Angel but I dont want to stir up more enemies...........Wait..........I love enemies................and I love arguements..........and ya know what? Someone should defend Angel, especially since she hasnt done anything. Ok then, so the girlfriend I am referring to is the Girlfriend of Dalamar. We shall call her Jenna, for various literary reasons. So this Jenna has used her own blog to bitch about Angel and to say that she is less than virtuous if you catch my meaning. Well this coming from a short bitchy girl who wears an eyebrow ring and clothes that are too small for her own good. Dalamar, im sorry but Angel doesnt deserve the treatment Jenna gives her. I find Jenna to be a faux intellectual, and a snobby self centered little princess hardly worth more than cheap trinkets and clothing she wears. If she were not with Dalamar I would accuse her of the same things she accuses our good Angel of. Let she who is without sin cast the first stone, wait.... not so fast there little girl put the rock down. Again, Dalamar I am sorry. Let me educate the mis-informed. Our dearest Angel has no true interest in Dalamar sexually or romantically. While she is with someone less than worthy of her, she is certainly no interested in Dalamar other than the average friendly gestures. Yes Angel can seem overly friendly sometimes but anyone with intelligence above the average chipmunk would know that. Those who know her well know that she is anything but arrogant, everything but mean, and more than courteous. So to all her critics, please if you wish to find faults or try and attack someones moral characters then you are more than welcome to come fight with me. Only cowards and fools attack a lady even verbally, however I welcome all cowards and fools. Besides, your only asking for trouble with Angel, for even Angels wield large weapons and are anything but defensless.
