So, for those of you who don't know, there is a Thanatos blog. The link is here, you should read and subscribe and whatnot.
And, concerning the coordinates we were given, I posted this as a comment to the blog entry -
Keep in mind it's an upside-down cross - something goth kids have taken on as a sign of 'rebellion' or whatever, but it's actually the cross of St. Peter, who chose to be crucified upside-down. Hey, Roman Catholic upbringing is actually helping me here. How about that?As I said, it's just a thought - I don't know the nature of these people any more than the rest of you do, unfortunately. But all the times I've been forced into a congregation for an hour or so at a time has done odd things to my head.
I'm not sure if they could go religious like that, but Peter could be on the table (especially with all the 12 references we've been getting - 12 disciples much?).
Just a thought.
Question : Is it possible for an agnostic to have a better knowledge of the traditions and commonly used bible verses of the Roman Catholic church than an actual Roman Catholic?
Answer : Yes.
And yes, I'll admit the Wikileaks jab set me on edge. I've been in support of what they've done and are doing since I heard about it, and I do believe Assange to be innocent (I also believe they are unfairly holding him right now). Just to get that cleared up. Let's not make this a huge debate please, it's not exactly what we're here for.
Now, here's my philosophical banter for the hour.
Urges to wander.
This isn't strictly villainous - however, I never claimed to be strictly anything.
But most everyone knows the mood - you randomly look up a hill or down a street and have a sudden and insatiable urge to go there. Doesn't matter where it takes you (because you'll be together?) because it'll take you somewhere you've never been before. The hills around my town seem perfect for this - the gated communities around this town make it extremely sub-par. That's not to say getting over the gates is difficult - don't make me laugh - but what lies beyond them is never interesting. Just the same suburban oh-look-at-all-my-money bullshit. I'd rather wander around with the cows, even if it does mean dodging pies.
But I came across one of these personally today. Just looked up a hill I'd never been up before and bam, before I knew what I was doing I was almost across the street towards it. I couldn't go then - but I plan to. I'm of the belief that these random urges to go to a specific place mean something, and hey, if I'm lucky, maybe I'll find something interesting. I'll be sure to let you know if I do.
And now for real life.
Outcast, ai.r, and myself will all be at Wondercon. Outcast is only there Friday, ai.r and I are planning to stay all weekend. If anyone else is going to be there, drop a line. It'd be interesting to meet up. If not, no harm done. We'll be there with each other regardless, and we'll possibly have a few moments of interest to show you when we get back - if you get lucky, of course.
And Outcast, my dear, if you were onto me, I wouldn't catch you so often. Don't let me get to you too often, or I'll start to think you like it. Love you too.
Love,
Blackwood
Oh, another random observation before I go - I'm not sure who put the tiny maple leaf on their forehead, but it made me giggle. Go Canada!
Edit : Haha, forgot this like a dolt. Outcast and I got the country code in properly and we have heard the message. It wasn't anything beyond the web address, so nothing we didn't already know. Carry on!
Oh yes, because having you spontaneously suction yourself to me while I'm trying to work is just the highlight of my day. How you see straight through me, Blackwood. Please.
ReplyDeleteRemember I'm here to accomplish, not to satisfy your pointless games!
But accomplish what precisely? We're not on any official meatworld missions yet, dear.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not here to argue. It was just a friendly jab, but if you're going to take it seriously I'll admit defeat.
Getting the word out to those who might become one of us someday, of course.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know as well as ai.r about my aversion to being touched. General trust and intimacy issues, remember? Hence the mask.
Oh, but Outcast, we just loooove to be close to you!
