Theres something about the dark I love. I've always been a night owl, but it's really all about a sense of comfort.

I don't even feel like the same person in the light. My whole personality changes in the shadows and blankets of black. It's as if I'm only really alive if the sun is down, like some reverse superman without the silly tights. I've tried to expand upon it since it seems to make up suich a large amount of my life without my doing anything to make it that way. For a time I was what I suppose you could call goth, if you must have a label. But it wasnt really like being goth I've hung out with those people, and what i have is more like Dickinson to seclusion than emo is to say cutting to be deliciously cliche.

Funny enough i think of Fight Club. There alot of moments in that film that take place in daylight yet there is an overwhelming sense of it being night. I don't think the flick would work if that daylight was more pronounced. Thats me I dont work in the daylight. I don't... fit. I seem out of place. Dimly lit Coffeehouses are my refuge.

Thats another part of it. I visited Washignton awhile back and I was instantly in love. It rains all the time and it's overcast and the people were complaining about being depressed and I suddenly realized I've never felt so alive in all my life. I suppose this is how I got into the Rave culture ultimately. Another great part of this is my want to turn down lights and drink coffee while having long in depth conversations of philosophy and speculation and group readings. Which believe me aren't an easy thing to do these days, the list of participants is slim and newcomers to such things are few and far between. it's just not the cool thing to do. of course I love peopel but I'm not as outgoing as I have the ability to be. So I suppose alot of people who would love nothing more probably pass me by everyday and I never muster the guts to say anything.

Well...
Rage Rage against the dying of the darkness.
