H.P. Lovecraft, Idol & Rival

8/20/2016

A fact maybe unkown to many, or all, is that I seek to rival the knowledge, prowess, and power of H.P. Lovecraft. This may seem foolish to others but it is actually a common practice in the athletic realm, the quote saying "Train until your idols are your rivals." This means that you have gained enough ability, honed yourself, followed in the footsteps of those before you in pursuit of overtaking them one day. And so, that is my greatest wish, no matter the cost or investment, I seek to bring a towering malevolence upon this world, one that no mortal or soul state can harbour or sustain. You may think me crazy, and you would not be wrong, but madness is where he before me dwelled, which means so shall I. Further, I shall journey than the master proceeding, toppling that dark place, mayhaps becoming the dreaded nightmare I seek to unfurl.
In conjuction with this goal, I stumbled upon this article on a topic I also have fondness, Metal. The random discovery spurned me to rekindle that black fire within, the one that will help me burn hotter than the hells I am bound. Enjoy the read and know this, I will walk in your dreams...and eat your memories.

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
