btw...you are completely right with your comment on "Corpus Christi"...but let me point you to the title. (IE: Corpus Christi = "Body of Christ" ...something for your mind to chew on. I am a Religion/Philosophy major

Wow I didnt notice that. I think I need to brush up on my latin. Very true though now that I look at it. Im still stuck in highschool forced to take really watered down english classes and thats my fix of philosiphy. If any thing I plan on taking sociology in Uni. But for now Im having fun writing what comes to my uneducated mind. Any way if you like religious literature, I incorperate alot of catholasism in my writing. I suppose I listen to a little too much Bruce Cockburn. I think you would like my poems Our Lady and Crimson. Well when you have the time tell me what you think.

Thanks for coming by my gallery, more than that, though, thanks for leaving such in-depth comments - I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Hopefully, I can salvage time enough in the near future to return the favor.
Since you asked...yes, I was making an allusion to the recent blackouts and the hysteria that I saw on the news (I live in Texas, so I wasn't really close to the action..lol) in my piece "Chitin in the Night"...genius? I wouldn't say so...just some good old fashioned attention to detail.
Thanks again.

Well Chris, I must say, once again you prove that you are nothing but a mouthy know-it-all. Blind Guardian and Hammerfall both fall under the "power metal" genre, along with Iced Earth, Jag Panzer, God Forbid, and other bands with a similar sound. They are absolutely nothing like or do to with " death metal" which would include Morbid Angel, Deicide, Monstrosity and other related groups. Also, the "standard issue clothing" mentioned in my poem has nothing to do with a dumb little high school fad, if you either read the the description or had a brain at all you would know this. Just to ease your overassuming mind, it has to do with the standard issue of clothing one is given when they are committed to an institution. On the subject of my religious beliefs... Who would waste a life following a "god" when there is only proof of evolutionary science? I'm not simple-minded enough to conform to any sort of "faith" just because my parents want me to or the fact that everybody else is doing it.As I said, you have again made a fool of yourself by challenging me. Please, spend this thought and contempt trying to write something that's actually good.

Look man, we both have completely different views on everything and despite my strong passion for what I belive, the differences between us are what make the world the world. So, I am going to just have to say each one to thier own oppinion. If we where to volley arguments at each other, each thinking that the other party has made fool about what they said, we would get no where. Look I thank you for a decent argument and every thing. So at this note I bid you peace. Keep writing.

First of all, Chris, you needn't comment on my work with words of pure ignorance to subjects you learn about only through MTV. If you think Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan hold a candle to guitar greats like James Murphy, then you clearly know about as much about metal as you do about me. Secondly you're 16 and you think snowboarding is cool? Go listen to some Burzum kid. Become a real man. The entire reason I put the icon is to blantantly disrespect and insult your obviously overwhelming misinformed, close-minded, stupid Christian beliefs. You probably actually expect Jesus Christ to come down off his little made up throne and take you away like you're special. I'm glad that you find it self-flattering to learn about all these little details of religion, and if you pay close attention and/or open up your beady little eyes to reality, you'll see there is nothing on my page to indicate Satanism. Lastly, you made the worst mistake of all when you mixed punk with metal in one of your angst filled statements as if they are even similar. Any remotely intelligent human being interested in good music instead of typical VH1/MTV trash would know and appreciate musicians like Varg Vikernes, Samoth, Fenriz, Erus Inferni, and others. Your advice to me is to mature, correct? It's good advice, perhaps you should consider taking it. I don't want your dramatic high school/teenager "I despise everything" words of complete and total angst on my stuff, it's clearly worth more than your worthless opinion. Cease to exist on deviantArt, child. Your kind of attitude and language don't belong here.

The only thing close minded that is expressed is your accusation of Christian belifes being stupid, maybe you dont have the same belifes as me, but I have the heart to respect it. Frankly even if your belifes where of an unignorant nature you would be wise enough to put down an over distorted guitar and read, perhaps, about why belifes like your benefit niegh to the state of society. Self expression is valued, but frankly it is prefered that there be a little variety in your emotion. Do you only feal hate or anger or disrespect for others. I personally find that those truely gifted in writing are those who actually influence people to think better of them selves and others. Music is supposed to be liberating, not close minding. I do admit that metal guitar is very talented, but it is in the like of death metal bands such as blind guardian and hammerfall where I can see some kind of creativity in lyrical content. Also do not insult bob dylan nor Hendrix, the inspiration that these guitarists have had on your guitarists listed are probably great. One would think that you have never heard Hendrix. I have been privilaged to see the world and I have seen both great ignorance and great hospitality, of the likes of which I have seen both sufferable poverty and amazing richness. The poverty I have seen far surpasses that of a new york street bum. Have you ever seen a dead man? The streats of Marakesh see many a deseased and decrepid. If you where to journey through the souks of Ciro you would only but be greatful to be your spiteful self and realise that you fealings of hate and anger and incredibly selfish. Ive heard a half dead man ask me for an american dollar just so that he can fead his child. Indeed I am both naive and immature (that was sarcasm). Look weather you like it or not you have no worldly right to call me ignorant and to try and compare me to television is quite stupid seeing as I dont pollute my mind with television, or more that I have had no time to watch it being the son on of a family that travels alot. And also I snowboard simply for the pleasure of self liberation, when you are on a mountain side away from everything and all you see is the valley preceding, it is the most peaceful fealing on earth. I am not succuming to the snow park happy punks that drink thier eyes out all day and wear huleys. Oh and also thanks for being so contraversial, most writers of pointlessly hateful things simply dont respond probably becasue they are cryng in thier rooms watching candles. Oh and lastly I am not afraid to conform to a crowd or any fad that I find interesting, becasue I do what ever the fuck I want and I am happy that way.
-Chris
PS Catholasism is not closminded when you educate your self on the history and the current events surrounding it. Leading charities mostly flow through the vatican and then are distributed to others that prvide for the casues. Go spend your money buying little trinkits that have spikes on it and maybe you can realise how ignorant you really are.

I completely agree with you on your opinion about society and how smaller businesses would mostly benefit us. But what I was focusing on, was not only corporate society, but also how much the people depend on the government, and believe almost everything that they are told, I have very strong views about many things that the government is doing, unfortunately I was not able to put that in words. Many people are not aware of how controling the government has become, and I have always been interested in politics so I have many ideas, but politics just stress me out too much. Maybe I will go into politics as my future career, but I am not one of those teenagers who only complain, I want to do something, and I wil not hesitate at any chance to do it.

It didn't bother me at all, so it's ok. And I didn't write the Hulk story, that's an actual article from The Sun. Here's another fairly interesting thingymadoodad about the oldest planet yet detected. Almost 13 billion years old and over twice the size of Jupiter. Neat?!

I found your comment on ~ryou 's poem interesting, especially considering she made no mention of those topics in her poem. Have a bit of a chip on our shoulder do we?
Anyway I'll be sure to reserve any scathing remarks until I've taken a look at your gallery.
By the way-it is refreshing to see someone, especially a newer deviant with the balls to put in a dislike vote.

Hawanagila rule's ?! You think so I think that my land belongs to me, not to emigrantam which buy up the ground of my ancestors and usesing like they wont. Agression is bad, I agree with you but obedience it's even worse. And i think that you are a typical representative of "next Generation" culture, that drink's pepsi-cola or coca-cola and think's that live is so cool and beatifull, and also watching Mtv pop hits with 25 fram, that say what to do... Stupid , but that live..
