Firstly is what i feel to be an understanding of a more final truth on the topic of morality. I've been raised as most of you have to understand the difference between good and bad. Evil vs Goodness. that steps on these roads lead to destinations of great contrast when compared to each other. but of late, its become much more difficult to differentiate the path i walk now. i no longer believe that the paths of good and evil lead away from each other, that in fact they run parallel like highways of life...side by side.

Hell and Heaven are quite real...but in my understanding....the concepts have been given a more metaphorical guise. Living life for the sole purpose of achieving a destination makes no sense to me...which is why if anything...heaven and hell are the descriptions of the realms of the human condition. The man who murders, sleeps with a sullied conscience...unable to find peace with the evil he has committed. while those who claim purity, bask in the satisfaction of their own doings. For me heaven and hell are the process of living through the emotions and events wrought by our actions. Escaping these frames of mind are possible however it is also relative to each individual. He who breaks free of the horrors of hell can be considered a greater or a much lesser human persona, how can a man simply cast away his demons or ask them to walk with him with hindrance....and still be considered human?...the same goes for those departing heaven.

Humanity or what we claim it to be, rests upon a weakly defined neutrality and for those cursed/blessed with a mind able to grasp the shape of things....holding our claim to humanity is a difficult thing to do.

I myself, am unable to shake free all the binds of my human nature, but even now as i write to you...i sit upon my ideals and views......a throne built on my own pride and self gratification, looking down upon humanity. both detesting the workings of us sheep...and longing to immerse myself in the vastness of our own terrible beauty. I stand amazed by the strength of our own, the endurance of the trials of life.

I doubt I could ever be anymore grateful for this life...this path

And regardless the paths we choose to walk down, i urge you....live life and taste in all its wonder. Walk down the paths of Damnation and Salvation with both eyes open and be anything you are able to be.

In anycase, work and school are just rubbing me the wrong way. Grinning through my teeth at all these two faced snakes is like emptying a cauldron of acid into my stomach. I abhor unpleasant people, someone just needs to beat some manners into them. Maybe its becuz i was raised very traditionally, but if you cant be polite, or even fake it ffs....dont waste your breath speaking to me.

this entire entry is not really going anywhere specific, i just figured it would be a nice outlet for some stress relief.

i was right. writing about what comes to mind is soothing....just sitting here and letting the music soak through me.

if Jesus had a middle name, it would be music.

if i havent said it before, Music is my salvation.

ENGL 102
1:00 – 1:50
Just Say “Uncle”
The dark side of human nature is that in an attempt to protect what we think is right; we can sink down to incredible wrong doing. This violent tendency that we have manifests itself in lesser, various forms of day to day life. But also in more serious cases we abandon our moral code and ignore the natural boundary, forcing our will against the physical or mental being of another. Torture is act of inflicting physical or mental suffering beyond the typical thresholds in an attempt to procure information, revenge or out of cruelty. While Id imagine at the drop of a hat, most people would respond to say that torture is wrong. But when weighed against the higher good, can torture become an obligation?
Should a plot be uncovered to destroy thousands of lives, preventative measures are taken and you do in fact capture on of the persons behind this heinous scheme. However, without more specific information and quickly the plan will come to fruition. What do you do? Is it now ok to force him into divulging the information you need?
One could argue that when held up against the thousand of lives at stake, torture is a morally justifiable means to and end. A lesser example would be and organ transplant, while the donor might suffer high levels of pain and discomfort henceforth, the recipient of their gift will be saved. Doesn’t that qualify as justification to the donor’s own personal anguish?
Another argument is that this goes against the will of the person being tortured. This lack of consent is irrelevant, the rights of the tortured are forfeit when he chooses to act against other people. “risoners and enemy soldiers don’t consent to being incarcerated or shot at, yet we’re not about to empty our prisons or stop trying to kill enemy soldiers.” I don’t believe this is entirely true, I believe those people gave their consent when they agreed to partake in the actions that landed them with the repercussions. Soldiers understand the demands of war, and that at any give moment on the battlefield it might be their last. Criminals understand the consequences should they be discovered or captured, and this silent, internal acknowledgment is all the opposing side needs.
Torture used to retrieve information is however by no means a foolproof cure all that can always be depended on as a last resort. There are several holes in the concept of torture that can hardly be considered acceptable conditions of a method. Firstly is the assumption that person being tortured has pertinent information that can yield the results you desire. Leaving the possibility open for innocent detainees to be exposed to prolong torture for not divulging the information the do not possess.
Secondly is that in some circumstances the information gathered that caused the initial suspicion and detainment of a suspect, is enough to justify torture. To summarize, is it justifiable to go through with torture if we are not 100% certain we have the right person. Or if we are not able to capture the individual in question, is it then alright to torture his relatives into revealing their whereabouts?
Third is the potential to escalate out of control if demands are not met. Let us say that the first method used is simply threats of personal incarceration and that they will never be allowed to go free again. What do we turn to then should that fail? Electrocution? Maybe pulling out their teeth one by one? Perhaps to slowly break the bones of their 5 year old child while they are forced to watch. There is no clear marked line that says this is too much. One might argue that this is indecisive and moves the issue away from what is at hand, saving lives.
Lastly is that the effects of torture go beyond the time period that it was employed. Should the news of these events go public, the victim despite whether he was guilty or not, as well as the torturer are often branded for life. A good example might be to imagine that your neighbors who were some of the survivors of the Donner party returned back home. There are also personal reverberations of the event on the individual. “A former CIA officer told The New Yorker in Aug. 13, 2007 article: “[My friend] has horrible nightmares….When you cross over that line, it’s hard to come back. You lose your soul.”
Torture when used for the purpose of saving lives, becomes a careful balancing act. It is not simply about whether performing the practice itself is justifiable but also the implications on what might happen if it is not used. I believe one of the problems that we see is man’s inability to accept his dark nature. By clinging solely to one side and hiding behind it, we abandon this responsibility. Judgment on such things is part of being human; refu... ]]> ~Dragonemperor000 http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/19969877/ http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/19969877/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:18:50 PDT zai mei ting dao ni

I suspect my workload is starting to take a toll on me, ive been tired a lot lately. Id say mostly becuz ive been in a slump lately, but i feel like im made of dust and all i can do is sit at my desk and drift.

For those who havent played it. Portal is a masterpiece. play it!

also im addicted to rock band. thats all for now.

]]> ~Dragonemperor000 http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/19443774/ http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/19443774/ Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:31:29 PDT
To start, today i had my wisdom teeth removed...and zomgoggles. I mean if you are accustomed to drooling blood, constant stabbing pain on both sides of your mouth and a tongue that feels foreign and numb...its not so bad. im essentially allowed to eat solid food, but i imagine if i did a few moments later i would be screaming wildly. The plus side is the icecream, my mother and sister...bless them...went out and jammed as much icecream as they could into the freezers. im actually lying down right now as i write this too you...tissue dangling from my mouth.

School, honestly im not too sure how im gonna go about it atm. i dont really know what i wanna get into...or even where i wanna go. I had tossed the idea of going to AIP around, or CCAD..but im not sure. At this point, im thinking i wanna get into cinematography and also have a chance to write stories, then screenplays...and if i go that far, maybe acting.

Love life, gotta say its rather interesting. I am currently talking with someone right now and i am excited about it. I havent held down a steady relationship for some time now, and i gotta say i wonder if there is something wrong with me. I usually tire quickly or lose interest after the initial pre-dating is over. Possibly my hatred to be forced into a schedule, or the feeling of having a leash...in either case thats not good. (id like feedback here)

Art, i have been drawing from time to time, but mostly i havent had time for it. Usually a quick doodle or sketch in my notebook is all i get time for these days. As some of you might have noticed i have found increasing amounts of enjoyment from drawing people. something i never liked to draw before. Even if most of them are essentially characterizations of myself, it is fun. I found that i have an immense love of the human body, frankly its fascinating. And probably because im a guy, i have a very dear love of the female physique, women are built like goddesses and i love drawing them.

Games! its a sad thing to say but i dont really play many consoles anymore. Or at least not as much as i used too. Ive been caught up in playing warcraft as of late, which in all honesty...i kind of hate. I love the interaction with other people, and the competitive PVP. but its a hole in my wallet, and a far worse addiction than any console i own. For the time being though however, i am still playing it.

Friends. its been pretty crazy of late as far as friends go. My best friend is getting married here soon, and im too be a groomsman. I suppose ive always known it was gonna happen sooner or later but its still shocking when you first hear about it. Also, im too be a godfather in the unlikely event he has children in the near future...im pretty excited about that. Ive met a lot of new friends lately, and gotten in tough with old ones. But ive also lost friends, and that still weighs heavy on my heart. I dont know if its in my nature, but ive never given up friends easily. Some friends have moved on, and we've fallen out of touch...but this is life.

Family. My sister, my other half is going away to college here soon. I am excited for her, for she is the kind of person who has always been good at school. It hasnt hit me yet, but i know i will miss her dearly for we have grown much closer in the past couple of months. My grandparents moved from NJ to Ohio so that we can take care of them. Every Tuesday and Thursday, i pick them so that they can come exercise with me. My parents are starting to feel the pressure as the economy moves closer to recession, and for those who havent seen it yet...it is happening and a depression is not out of the equation.

Im sorry to rant but this was for me as much as it was for you. Ive had a lot on my mind lately.
Please feel free to inquire about whatever you wish. And be ready for the next journal i write will probably not be so serious.

Lo Beast! Do you hear what beckons ye hither! Is it a knell?

Ive been too New York before (chinatown :w000t so i have been around the sky scraper labyrinths, the homeless peddlers, the crammed shops and even more crammed parking. But I guess since i had never been to Chicago before and now I have to think about living there...i got kinda skiddish. Im pretty sure I can take care of myself, that im not worried aboot (Church can get mean! HWAH!), but the overall state of things in city life im not sure about. None of my beautiful green trees, no chance to hit a deer, I cant bring my dog with me, no stars or clear nights, none of the kind people i grew up with (city people r grouchy and dont hold open the door for others...). And in exchange I get cramped living, prostitutes.....I like my girls...but not like that, short walks to everywhere, .....uh big stuff in general (Im small), set aside places wear grass and one or two trees grow (ugh...fake nature), No dog but maybe sea monkeys?, much bigger possibility for crime (nobody does anything in my town).

back to wut i had mentioned earlier....the poverty man. It kinda beats me up to see all these homeless people...and even more so that most of the time...i dont want to look at them. There were beggars of all ages and races and i kinda felt for em all ya mean? Now dont get me wrong...too an extent I pity them...but when i walk under an overpass and a black man is like "White boy passing through my home....get out of here cracka!" I was a lil harsher on his case...and between u and me i stopped turned around and said "HEY....Im yellow aight?....please dont eat me" heh im kidding about the last part but u get the point.

Overall my trip was pretty cool and who knows? I might not be as against city life as I might have originally thought.

oh and check dis out... it's the background story i wrote. tell me wut u think

I can’t remember how long it’s been exactly since I was banished from heaven. But I could vividly describe every waking second I’ve spent in this city. My name is Church, yeah I know it’s an odd name but it serves its purpose, to conceal my true name. My true name is known only to two people, myself and the ever present one. My name is all I have left to cling to, all that’s left of a time long past. Let me tell you a little about myself. In case you haven’t guessed yet, I’m not really human. I am a dragon, the first noble race. At one time we were the ones left in charge of the world. We created the balance and sculpted the untouched Eden. Every new life that was created, respected our power and reign; Dragons,
the kings of animals.

But then a new creature was made, one that was uncontrollable, master of his own mind. He was given the gift of choice, the ability to sin; something that had only been gifted to our race. On that day, when man walked the earth, our time was already beginning to end. God’s favored people flourished and took dominion over all lands. Some of my brethren tried to argue, but He would not hear of it. We became angry and made our war against man, thus losing our grace, becoming nothing more than great beasts. Those that remained were left in two groups, those who remembered who we were and those who did not. They faded and became other things, plain things and foul things. Nothing could bring them back, they were forever lost. But myself and a few others preserved and obediently left the world we had forged, the new world of men.

We left our bodies behind but our spirits entered into the holy realm where god dressed us with new bodies and removed our sacred gift, the gift of choice, we became nothing more than plain Followers. It was intended for us to forget and some of our pitiful few did, they forgot themselves and our numbers waned even further. But then something happened that was not anticipated. The Light Giver and his tainted Followers were cast from heaven. A great war ensued on their departure and many followers were destroyed, yet we did not. No Follower has ever been greater than we and even in this body I felt the true me echo inside, and I cast aside my shell and waged God’s war with the Banished. In the aftermath, my sin was apparent, my failure to follow, to forget. As such I was then banished from the Kingdom of heaven with a single command, a single chance to redeem myself.

My last order “Purge the world of evil, in whatever form it may reside in...then the gates will open for you again and your people restored” So now I reside in this shell, encased in the flesh of the people I resent so greatly. Ironic isn’t it? It was bad enough being cast as a lowly Follower but this was truly insulting. Regardless this is why I fight, why I have lasted through the ages. This is why…I live in this damn city. ]]> ~Dragonemperor000 http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/6591762/ http://Dragonemperor000.deviantart.com/journal/6591762/ Sat, 24 Sep 2005 16:35:19 PDT not face-concealing ones.

2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept
anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the
Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons
of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to
the object which is my one weakness.

6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill
me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say,
"No." and shoot him. On second thought I'll shoot him then say
"No."

8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately
in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks'
time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.

9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely
necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button
labeled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do
Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough
to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be
labeled as such.

10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a
small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no
need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving
my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any
flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before
implementation.

13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several
rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the
bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any
accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the
aforementioned disposal.

14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or
any other form of last request.

15. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I
find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to
activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting
his plan into operation.

16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's
just one thing I want to know."

17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to
their advice.

18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned
attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal
distraction at a crucial point in time.

19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she
was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd
betray her own father.

20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge
in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss
unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust
to accordingly.
