my anthem
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

Scenes from an etheric movie part 1
The Boy pushes a cart into the back of bitchface, while she's walking, rather fast but in a most tasteful manner.
Bitchface: (screams [in the whiniest voice she can muster]) YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE, YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!
The Boy: (in a calm but matter-of-fact tone) No I didn't.
Bitchface walks (well, waddles) away. The Boy then pushes the cart into the back of Bitchface once more, this time causing sparks to come out of her lower back and kankles. Bitchface is alarmed and prepares to yell at The Boy but instead is tickled by the turn of events.
Bitchface: Hey that was kind of fun.
The Boy then rams the cart at full force into her gut. (Chaos ensues) She explodes, causing fireworks to shoot out of her in every direction imaginable. The fireworks explode in the most exquisite manner, causing confetti to rain down from the ceiling. All that remained of her was a pile of empty peanut shells on the floor.
The Boy: Yeah, that was kinda fun.

I'm getting darker
I did it---ME---of all people am tanning. I went to a tanning salon and they convinced me to get a whole month package so now I really have to go like every other day, to get my money's worth. I don't know why, I even hate being in the sun but I figured it might be interesting to try it out to alter my appearence(or maybe I'm just runningout of ideas). Let's see what happens. I think it'll look good :)

Marilyn Manson @ Art Basel, Miami
I love Marilyn Manson, It's always great to see new stuff from him. Here are two interviews, a video and a text one, courtesy of mansonusa.com
Is Marilyn Manson a spiritual person?
The Art Newspaper: I understand that you sleep by day. When do you paint?
Marilyn Manson: It’s easiest for me to paint late at night when I’m at my most creative, around 3am. I’ve been making a new album and the band works from 8pm until about 4am, so I often come home and paint in silence. It’s a real escape for me because it’s the thing I can do when no one’s around.
TAN: I’ve read that you started drawing as a child, using it as an escape.
MM I liked drawing as a kid and I wanted to become a cartoonist for something like Mad magazine.
TAN: Are there any special objects that you keep around for inspiration in your painting studio?
MM I have things taped and written on the walls, it’s almost like a big notebook. It’s a bit haunted-house-mixed-with-Las Vegas, there’s no sense of time and there are no clocks. I have a lot of art and anatomy books, magazines, about 250 children’s books and lots of Polaroids. I kneel down on the floor when I work, so I can control and balance the paint, and the ceiling fan above me has a video camera attached so I can document my painting.
TAN: Would you describe your works as psychological portraits of your subjects?
MM I don’t paint photorealistic works; I think that’s what cameras are for. I’m painting a girl that I met recently who was concerned about how she looked, and I explained that I was trying to capture her personality.
TAN: Are your paintings more personal than your very public stage persona?
MM I have a terrible time losing my paintings to other people. I don’t consider painting a hobby at all. At one point I was willing to completely trade one for the other while I was going through a dark period in my life, but somehow the combination of singing and painting seemed to work together.
TAN: Can you tell me about your painting Trismegistus, the centrepiece of the show?
MM I found a portable embalming table from the 19th century, and some foolish part of me thought it would make a goth girl really excited. But I left it sitting against the wall in my studio, and one night I started painting around midnight with only the moonlight coming through the shades. I finished the work by about 1pm the next day. It’s a very fragile piece and I’d like to see it end up in a museum.
TAN: Is it true that the first paintings that you sold in 1999 were five-minute concept pieces that were bought by drug dealers?
MM They were traded for drugs. I wonder where those are now.
TAN: How would you describe your watercolours? Is it accurate to characterise some of your major themes as death, celebrity, pop culture and hermeticism?
MM I always choose interesting people, like the Black Dahlia [Elizabeth Short, who was the victim in a gruesome unsolved Los Angeles murder in 1947] and [murdered child beauty pageant contestant] JonBenét Ramsey, who are fascinating because of their mystery. I also have a lot of fetishes that come from pop culture—things like “Tom & Jerry” cartoons where we see a woman in high heels pointing her red fingernail, but that’s all you ever see.
TAN: Where do you get most of your material? Do you work from newspaper and magazine photographs, live models, memories or from sketches?
MM I’m a closet photographer. My house is filled with big movie lights so I can take photographs whenever I want. I don’t really like to show my photographs, but if I might brag, I think they’re pretty good. I like to photograph a person before I paint their portrait and lighting is very important. I don’t necessarily work directly from the photograph, but I want to have something in my head when I begin.
TAN: Can you name some artists who have influenced your work?
MM I love the surrealists. I have a Dalà video where he refuses to do an interview with Orson Welles for his own documentary that I love. I also like what Man Ray did with film and shadows. And Egon Schiele has been a big influence on me. I enjoy looking at Bacon’s notebooks and his studies because it reminds me of how I work.
TAN: What do you think about Matthew Barney? You’re both interested in creating elaborate personas with detailed histories and philosophical underpinnings.
MM I have an extreme love/hate for Matthew Barney because I’m jealous that he is able to do so much. Someday I’d like to work with him, or beat him up for being so good at what he does. I have every one of his books and bootleg copies of the “Cremaster” series. We both incorporate the same type of manic detail in our work.
TAN: In previous interviews you’ve said that the name Marilyn Manson refers to “the disturbing dualism of American culture”. Can you explain what you mean by this?
MM In the 1990s, one channel on the television would be investigating the secret behind Marilyn Monroe’s death, while [talk-show host and investigative journalist] Geraldo Rivera was interviewing Charles Manson on another. To me, Monroe and Manson were equally famous for completely different reasons. Besides the obvious contrasts of beauty and ugliness, and female and male, I think that Monroe had a dark side and Manson has strange moments of coherent philosophy. For me, being Marilyn Manson is my art. My brain doesn’t shut off, so it’s not as easy as saying that Marilyn Manson is just a stage persona; it’s me and I don’t think about it any other way.
TAN: You recently developed your own brand of absinthe called Mansinthe. Did you start drinking absinthe because of the romantic associations it has with writers and artists like Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire and Vincent van Gogh?
MM Yeah, I think so. I like it because it doesn’t make me drunk and it helps me to create.
TAN: You’ve been interested in the creative energy of Weimar Germany for some time now. I realise that there’s a historic specificity to the period, but there are some interesting parallels in terms of cultural excess and the bankruptcy of our financial institutions. Do you think the global recession might lead to increased creativity by artists?
MM If money becomes an issue, artists will probably resort to the basics. I think it will make people appreciate the things that they’ve cre-ated with their own hands that have a personal and spiritual value.
TAN: Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?
MM I think I’m 100% a spiritual person. If I didn’t care about the world, I wouldn’t put something into it.

Freaky Friday
Okay, I know it's not Friday and I know I'll get a lot of flack for that from certain people (::ahem:: Alicia Butt) but that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
So anyway, today was one of those times that I accidentally set my alarm (at work) for AM instead of PM and fortunately I only overslept by 20 minutes (luckily my boss wasn't here today). So the only reason I woke up at all was because, in some reality, someone called my name, "M A R C" and I sprung up immediately, looked all around the room and nobody was there. Otherwise noone would have woke me up and I would have just slept all day.
Pretty strange shitz.

Such advancements, yet haven't come that far at all...
The Ultimate Nagger
So it seems to me that Christians have made a mockery of Christ and have painted themselves as the biggest naggers of all time, using Christ's death as the ultimate guilt trip. "You better go to church, Jesus died on the cross for your sins", "You better brush your teeth, Jesus died for your sins", "Don't you dare leave that garbage can unemptied, Jesus died for your sins", etc. etc.
SINS SINS SINS
YOU YOU YOU
WRONG WRONG WRONG.
YOU YOU YOU
WRONG WRONG WRONG.
That seems to be the general picture painted, at the very heart of their work. Use Christ's death as a guilt tool, sell it to a bunch of pathetic, desperate, imbeciles, and BAMBOONI you have yourself a vast empire of fortune and the best part of it is that it is self replicating because the stupid people will tell more stupid people about it and we will all be stupid together and live in a stupid civilization and do stupid fucking things. We live in guilt, we literally live for it. For that is the driving force in these people's lives. Even if you are not religious, these moral standards still lie as the basis of our conceptions of society and acheivment. We live in a religious society, whether we like it or not. These guilt trips are hard wired into our mainframes and we don't even know it.
Guess the jokes on us.
Fear God? The same god of Boundless love and compassion? Pfffff.
