The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

It is a great thing to study any academic topic.

The flip side is that studying what interests you may require malingering bus arrivals and transfers heading to and from downtown Los Angeles at 5:30 A.M.

Suffice it to say that coffee and scones are a must.

Goths, vampires and cyber punks remain on the Sunset Boulevard strip as well as on Melrose.

Things always get crazy nearing Halloween or that is to say The Eve of the Feast of All Hallow's Day or The Feast of Samhain.

They don't have wicker man sacrifices of vampires anymore but it is a testament to the great age of Halloween as Europe and America have been swept with countless waves of conquerors and denizens of the dark.

I am fascinated by Stonehenge and Woodhenge. The neolithic structures reveal a true legacy of Druidic folklore and agricultural indicators.

Onward I go and am glad to have a place to document these thoughts.

Sometimes sleep does not regenerate karmic balance as substantially as addressing a forum of one's peers.

Zzz...I'm dozing...Anne Rice is nice. I followed her while I was in high school and must give credit to her and Stoker for lighting a fire in my imagination.

I'm sure that I have much catching up to do in terms of reading the latest vampiric publications from the last decade or so.

I've been busy with a cornucopia of jobs and academic courses, and, in the process, perhaps have tried too hard to find a niche in the rat race in the concrete jungle of this post-industrial age.

Thank you to everyone who has given me a positive "rating."

I had no idea there were so many readers, writers, photographers, musicians and artists out there in the digital sphere.

I was recently turned on to The Sisters of Mercy and The Cure.

My guitar playing is a little heavier and more grinding than theirs but the dark sounds of Eldritch et al are refreshing to say the least.

I must get some rest but will return...

Sometimes writing in the night is the only way.

It is a lasting challenge to find time amid the tasks of college, work and study.

I think sometimes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, H.P. Lovecraft and Bram Stoker. These writers share a common theme of manifesting sublimated dreams and wishes in their material.

The human unconscious is a lake with all the interesting stuff under the surface...
