There's a fine line between an attitude problem and thinking clearly.

GOTH.NET - What is Goth?: "Goths when you get down to it can be a rather pretentious bunch, trying for those extra 'goth points' on the gothier than thou scale, but it adds to the enjoyment."

"They pretend to tell us the truth, and we pretend to believe them."
-- Duncan Long, about the mainstream press.

I give you - a new gateway to me...

Greatings dark ones.

It is I the less than black but not grey one.

This post is just a quicky to give you a new gateway: here it is... this gateway is the tag cloud of my personal blog project The Fantastic Site of Lord Matt which, while having much which is white and bright, has more goth related stuff in it than this is getting just currently.

Lord Matt on News and Views

Lord Matt on News and Views: "She gleefully discribes how she took advantage of friends and niegbours abusing their good intentions hoping that (somehow) the after though use of the word 'guiltily' would cause even a retarded monkey to believe her for longer than a second."

Why is the web crap this week?

There is a total and utter lack of anything even slightly worthwhile to say at the moment and this is due almost entirly to lack of anything interesting to say it about

Yeah, I mean "big shock" next winter we may all die of bird flu (I'm sure that there is a pun there) but like so what. I'm kinda looking forward to it in case it rubbs out some people I feel have it coming anyway... of course you know thaat by hoping this it is no much less likely to happen... or maybe this will be the one time it does... will I feel bad or pleased if it does?

Now there is a question - we all know if some-one we love,like or admire died of bird flu' we would be upset. But what if some-one we really dislike died, some-one we hated and hoped would die. Would you find yourself feeling guilty for wishing they were dead or would you smilie and make a crass joke about it before forgetting they ever existed?

I know that right now I think I'd laugh and be pleased but when it happens when that person or persons that I feel deserve a massive slapping bit the big one will I feel guilt?

I say "no" but that doesn't make it any more true...

It's a doozy of a question.

Goth by Lord MAtt

I thought I would share with you a new work in progress on the subject of goth

goth [DokuWiki]: "Goth is a modern subculture that first became popular during the early 1980s within the gothic rock scene, a sub-genre of post punk. It is associated with gothic tastes in music and clothing. Styles of dress range from gothic horror, punk, Victorian, fetish, cybergoth, androgyny, and/or lots of black. However, there is no dress code for goths. (See: Dress Code Goth for a quick contradiction)"

'How can I help it?' he blubbered. 'How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.'
"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane."
1984 (George Orwell)

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte
