Not Dead

12/17/2018

My short stories and poems have been less as of late though I still post my usual Metal Monday showcases. I wanted to let you all know that there is no robot or ghost that does these things and that I am still alive. Of course, if I weren't alive anymore then my works would actually be valuable and I would probably be famous...so at least I have that to look forward to.
I have been working on a wild project that started out very absurd and is now evolving into a monster, one that could very well become a full fledged novel or book. For now, I am pouring as much energy into it as I can so my focus for now is on that endeavour. There may be some random new pieces when I get a chance (or if I have some kind of crazed episode) so do check back from time to time. Of course, always make sure you are getting your weekly dose of Metal to keep you wild.
On a side note, there may be some new creations in the coming months that are...different from what I have done thus far. A collaboration with another dark entity may yield much madness in the future!

THE MAD BARRON

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)
