344: Max Webster // A Million Vacations
Tumblr media
A Million Vacations Max Webster 1979, Anthem
When you think of the classic rock heroes of the Midwest, guys like Bob Seger and John Mellencamp are usually first to mind on account of their representing “working-class authenticity.” But realistically, if you spend the 1970s and ‘80s lifting car chassis it’s likely you’ll want to spend some of your nights dreaming of another world, which might account for the region’s enduring love affair with the gay-looking straight man star children of the AOR movement. For its part, English Canada between the coasts (which is, for all intents and purposes, a continent-wide addendum to Minnesota) was right there growing out its mullets with the best of ‘em (see Trooper, Triumph, Loverboy, and so on). The best of our local product though had a distinctly Canadian quirkiness to it that made them stand out from the Yanks—a quality that could swing between subversively weird and plain corny from one song to the next.
youtube
Both Max Webster, and their longtime touring mates Rush, had this quality in spades, and you’d’ve been hard pressed to find two sorrier looking groups of chicken men on any stage anywhere. (It would not be very nice to describe Webster guitarist-vocalist Kim Mitchell as “David Lee Meth” so I simply won’t.) But despite their looks, propensity for geeky mythos-building, eccentric vocals, and a whole host of other characteristics that made them unlike, say, Journey, both bands were reliable arena draws in this country. Rush were obviously much, much bigger, but on sheer enjoyability I’d probably side with Max Webster myself, an infinitely more peculiar, less Ayn Rand-affiliated project that sort of answers the question, “What if Frank Zappa had been born in Toronto and wasn’t a snide prick?”
A Million Vacations was their commercial highwater mark in Canada (it moved about seven copies Stateside), spinning off three charting singles amid its Mothersy gags (“Research”) and more explicitly prog wanderings—no songs break the five-minute mark, but “Sun Voices” / “Moon Voices” is effectively a cosmic eight-minute suite, and the forbidden name of Kansas may rise unbidden into your mind from time to time. The musicianship is stellar throughout, and they grind out some genuinely rocking pomp riffs, but the album’s highlight is “Let Go the Line,” an iridescent, opiated ballad both uncharacteristic of the band and one I can’t really imagine any other making.
youtube
“Let Go the Line” seems to take place in a suspended moment, stoned or just dissociated, sitting on the couch at a party, drifting off into a vivid and private world:
Come drown your thoughts if they bite you Turn off the world if it makes you hurt I'm just a clown but I like you I see you there in your satin shirt Unfocused eyes on the ceiling A trace of smile on a frozen face I think you know what you're stealing Life has been likened to a poker deal Or a poor brief candle, or a karmic wheel But all I know is that tonight I might Let go the line, let go the line…
I think that’s a really lovely set of lyrics, but what the text doesn’t get across is the shy, almost naïve way keyboardist Terry Watkinson sings them, as though reaching uncertainly across the band’s lush, cocktail-party-at-the-end-of-the-universe music to offer a comforting hand. It’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever heard.

What are the criticisms of Das Kapital by Karl Marx? Why should we avoid reading it?
COMMENTARY:
You should read it. Marxism is a fairy tale, but it is intellectually superior to the basis of Supply-Side economics. Do not avoid reading Marx. It’s a study in fallacy. 
Marx held an intellectual enchantment over Marxist that was as entrancing as Ayn Rand’s emotional enchantment over Objectivists and her Atlas Shrugged demographic.
The difference between Marxists and Objectivist is that Marxist arrived at the same conclusion regarding Marxism being untenable during the 70s that Brezhnev and Mao realized after Apollo 11 and had the moral clarity and intellectual honesty to abandon his dictates, while Objectivists basically doubled down with the Reagan/Trump cult of personality and January 6.
The primary fallacy of Marxism is that he violates the 4th Law of Logic by proposing to eliminating all the contradictions in the Tory Capitalism of the Industrial revolution. Marx basically made the same mistake that Thomas Jefferson made when he edited God out of his version of the Bible. The contradictions Marx sought to eliminate were generally the paradox in any social system that makes the system dynamical.
Marx was trying to create a social system that operated with the same mechanical principles as the steam engine, which was the engine of the dominant economic paradigm. The Scientific Management of the Harvard Business School employs the same metaphor, Ray Dalio has substituted the T Model Ford for the steam engine and improved the metaphor (because the spark plug represents the entrepreneurial impulse made possible by life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) but it’s still a mechanical paradigm. It’s why Dilbert is Scott Adam’s archetype for the Harvard MBA program’s performance  based on  Rosabeth Moss Kantor’s HR paradigm.
The key to the organic characteristic of the Starship Capitalism described by Werner von Braun and Robert Heinlein is the dynamical modeling of Paul Krugman’s _Peddling Prosperity”. If you replace the water in Krugman’s model with the physical infrastructure of the Federal Reserve and the internet and the flame of the candle with the Federal Reserve, Wall Street and the SEC, and assume the surface of the water is the grass foots strata of American constitutional capitalism, you have a working model of why Keynesian policies are four or 5 limens more effective than the static austerity policies of the Austrian economics of Ayn Rand and the John Birch Society conceits of the William F. Buckley’s Sophist Fascism of the National Review and Yale University.
As Putin observed, Marxism is a fairy tale, but it is a very intellectually rigorous fairy tale. If you read Marx, the soaring intellectual superstructures of the construct in contrast to the emotional slop of Reaganomics and Objectivism will become stark. Both schools violate the 4th Law of Logic, which dictates that paradox cannot be reduced,
Like Marxism, the 18th Amendment and the current War on Drugs violates the 4th Law of Logic.

Hey!!! Hope you're well. It's very cold and wet here at the moment, so I though a Warm Tea, Chai Latte and Scented Candles would be fitting. :) <3
MY FRIEND!!!!! I am all right! A little headache-y but doing ok otherwise and at my friend's new cafe and vibing on this fine sunday!!! I hope you warm up dude you have my deepest sympathies it's about to rain all week here (and I am low-key looking forward to it all hail moody weather that makes it easier to write)
warm tea: what’s your favourite tea? if you don’t like tea, what’s your favourite drink?
Fave tea is Valerian tea. Have it daily lmao. But also I have vanilla lattes on the DAILY and I think I favor those more tbh
chai latte: your starbucks/coffee order?
Depends on the season and the energy, but I'm particularly fond of their Peppermint Mochas when they're in season, and in the spring/ summer I believe in Black/green tea lemonade supremacy. But the tried and true Starbucks standby for me is Iced Caramel Macchiato. My old friend from College. (oh also their cheese danishes and double smoked bacon sandwiches are the bomb I literally had one today)
And of course, other than my usual Vanilla Latte, when I'm at a REAL coffee place I usually get a Maple Latte (I think they're better iced but that's just me), or my new fave- Raspberry Mocha.
scented candles: do you enjoy reading? if so what’s your favourite book?
I do... sometimes. TBH I read more fanfic and screenplays and graphic novels and "Art Of" books and poetry than actual "books" but I'll run off some of my fave physical copies of things that I own:
Works Of Edgar Allan Poe: Fave Author Compendium. What can I say I'm a Gothic/romantic Lit Slut
Tolkien Reader: Fave Ref book- because god his essays are fascinating. And his translations of old poetry are really something else. Highly recommend the Tale of Welleran
Asterious Polyp- Favorite Graphic Novel of all time 100%
I Am The Messenger - Favorite book from High School
The Fountainhead - Favorite problematic book (bc lmao Ayn Rand was an awful person but oh my god I cannot get over her style and prose. Also the main character of this book is fucking hilarious to me he's so fucking faded I literally CRACK UP laughing reading this guy's dialogue)
Joker - Favorite Screenplay.
The Art of Tangled- Favorite Art Book. Look I love Encanto too and I just got my physical copy of the art book this week and I have yet to properly pour over it. But Glen Keane's sketches of all the main characters have yet to be topped for me personally. The concept art for this movie has inspired me so much the last 10 years and idk where I'd be as an artist without it.
The Art of Horror: The Making of Midnight Mass- Fave BTS book (obviously. It's got a lot of process points and industry stuff in it that really tickles me as a hopeful future filmmaker. And I get to salivate over Hamish Linklater to boot. Win-win.)
AESTHETIC ASKS

omg do you have any ideas for the gaang + room decor (in a modern au ?? perhaps ??)
ok so aang wouldn’t really have that many material possessions, especially nothing flashy (though he probably has some art and assorted knickknacks) but his spaces would always have really warm vibes. like i picture his childhood bedroom walls being painted a kind of friendly, mustard yellow, and there being candles and blankets and pillows everywhere like when you’re in aang’s abode you just feel welcome and cozy and at peace
and then coupled with katara’s vibes, when they move in together as adults, it’s just extra warm and lovely and the walls are painted a light beige and there’s lots of indigenous art on the walls and seashells they’ve collected over the years on the mantle and on the coffee table and they’re both obsessed with candles which sokka claims is a fire hazard
katara’s childhood bedroom is entirely blue and purple because those are her favorite colors and she refuses to display anything in her rooms that does not match her particular colorscheme. she has lots of posters hanging on her walls, like she has a karl marx quote next to a picture of some boyband she’s obsessed with next to a poster of sea turtles she got at a climate change rally. also she would have one of those cutesy little landlines that is also purple and she twirls the cord around her finger while telling aang about her day, even though he was with her the whole time they still call each other every night just so she can twirl her phone cord around her finger
sokka’s room is extremely clean, like freakishly so, except for his desk which is an absolute fucking mess. he wouldn’t even know how to begin organizing it so he never bothers. half his closet space is dedicated to katara’s clothes (even tho she has her own closet) which he’s fine with because he only wears like three shirts, or just wears suki’s clothes anyway. he has a bunch of posters with science puns, and a periodic table poster, and a poster of uranus which is his favorite planet (everyone thinks it’s his favorite planet because he thinks the name is funny but it’s because he thinks it’s cool that it has a 98 degree axial tilt! she’s so unique.... so mysterious...) and also he has a really fluffy bright blue rug in the middle of his room that yue always insisted on lying down on even though the bed would have been objectively more comfortable. she liked sitting on the floor and getting lint all over her white sweaters, which her mother couldn’t stand. sokka gives the rug to katara after she dies because it reminds him too much of her looks kind of childish. katara had been eyeing that rug all her life (it’s fluffy and blue??? sign her tf up!!) so it actually worked out pretty well... all things considered. 
the only things toph wants in her room is things that her friends have given her that remind her of them. otherwise she hates material possessions of any kind (reminds her too much of her evil bougie family) and thinks furniture should exist to be comfortable, and that’s it. if she couldn’t fit everything she owned into a small backpack, then she wouldn’t be toph. 
zuko keeps everything because he gets sentimental over literally any object. no azula you can’t throw out that old leaf!!!!! he found that leaf in the park and it had a little caterpillar bite taken out of the side and don’t you see that leaf symbolizes him???? if he threw out that leaf it would be like parting with a piece of his soul!!!!! sokka’s like “oh so you’re a hoarder” which makes zuko even angrier because how is HOARDING if every object MEANS something even marie kondo would claim that if it sparks joy then it must be kept!!! and sokka’s like “....this empty sprite can sparks joy??” and zuko, deadpan, is just like. “IMMENSE joy.” katara hung out in his room one time and the clutter was so stressful for her that she just invited him back to her house every single time after that day. at one point mai just straight up says to zuko “maybe your weird little trash collection isn’t the problem, you just like feeling like you have some semblance of control over yourself and your life” and zuko immediately bristled at such a ridiculous, unfounded accusation and then refused to speak to her for three days, yknow, for no particular reason. 
no one knows where suki lives (though the most popular theory is that she was actually raised by wolves) so no one, including sokka, has actually seen the inside of her bedroom. they’ve seen the inside of her pickup truck, though, which is basically the same thing. it’s filled with empty chip packets and loose joints and underwear that is not hers and sports gear that is mostly hers. it smells distinctly of girl sweat, and the same playlist of indie rock angry sad girl bangers is always on in the background. she knows the words to every single song that comes on when in her car, and she isn’t afraid to sing along to them, which most people find endearing, but katara absolutely cannot stand. she enjoys driving with no destination in particular in mind, and she and sokka like going to secluded areas and lying in the back of her truck and getting high and stargazing, an activity which might resemble a date to the untrained eye, but is in fact, totally not a date, because that would mean they’re dating and they’re definitely not, okay??? 
azula, naturally, is all about the minimalist rich bitch aesthetic. her apartment as an adult is so cold and uninviting sleek and modern that people are amazed that she’s not depressed just living there (and honestly. isn’t she?). there just is so much empty space and modernist architecture, not even a single carpet or piece of art on the walls. normally people who are into modernism would at least have some modern art, or something, but azula doesn’t actually understand modern art because it’s too abstract and mystical, and all art, really, is some froufrou nonsense for people like zuzu who gaze into wells all day instead of knowing how to get ahead and make bank. most of her bookshelf is just books that look good on a bookshelf, her old law textbooks, the art of war, and of course, ayn rand. lots and lots of ayn rand. 
ty lee shares a living space with so many other girls that attempting to carve out her own distinct space for herself would be a fruitless endeavor. instead she makes a bunch of interior decor dreamboards for herself that comprise an inexplicable mix of gothic cathedrals, iconic 80s/90s teen girl bedrooms, cottagecore, and french rococo. yes, she knows it’s not aesthetically cohesive; sue her. 
mai really really hates her parents’ style of mcmansion with just enough diluted japanese influences that it somehow makes them seem more assimilated. she wishes her room had yellow wallpaper just so she could peel it. as an adult, she makes sure to hang art she actually likes on her walls, but her taste in art is strange and offputting to pretty much everyone. she’s like grunkle stan in that one scene. whatever. everyone is a bunch of filthy aesthetes; they can’t handle the real shit that actually says something. also she has a giant terrarium for her lizards that takes up like a quarter of her living room. what i’m basically saying is that she is the coolest girl in the world and also fundamentally undateable. 
when mai and ty lee ultimately move in together all of their stylistic interests clash with one another but they don’t care because their home is just filled with things they like, so it doesn’t matter. ty lee thinks that mai’s offputting art is amusing (mai’s like no it’s supposed to be DEEP but ty lee has a really twisted sense of humor so it’s just funny, the same way that horror movies are funny) and mai likes how eclectic ty lee’s tastes are. anyone who walks into their home only need to look around for 3 seconds maximum to be like “ah yes........... lesbians live here”

the feminine urge.
the feminine urge to drink iced coffee everyday. to sleep in a bed filled with stuffed animals. to wear pencil skirts. to wear red lipstick. to ignore your phone. to run away. to cry on his shoulder. to be scared of reptiles. to play hard-to-get. to want adventure. to watch cartoons. to babysit. to sacrifice sleep for someone. to take pictures of the moon. to take pictures of everything. to wear the same necklace everyday. to hold emotional value in jewelry. to be independent. to explain Ayn Rand. to want your fathers validation. to make your mother happy. to fulfill your parents wishes. to have a large wedding. to read to no one. to over share. to keep secrets. to wear beige. to put strawberries in water. to hide in blankets. to love the wronged. to ask for less. to laugh. to cry. to get angry. to forgive. to be early. to accept. to grow plants. to study english literature. to write poetry. to have a muse. to relate. to exist. to side with bucky. to make eye contact. to keep your hair open. to empathise with loki. to keep everyone around you safe. to call peopl. to want nothing. to save the best candles. to guilt-eat the chocolate. to stare at the sun. to find meaning in the stars. to talk to the stars. to feel bad for the passed. to remember at unconventional times. to long for love. to write what you feel. to write whatever. to hide. to contemplate life. to find answers in the sky. to find beauty in leaves. to find meaning in roots. to welcome the extraordinary. to find meaning in the ordinary. to be dramatic. to write the letter. to lick the stamp. to provide reassurance. to ask for reassurance. to study niche topics. to ask deep questions. to grieve for others. to wear anklets. to put scrunchies around your wrist. to change men. to journal. to sketch. to draw. to understand the meaning of art. to make art. to be art.

i worked a lil bit on ayn rand's chapter but that was it for studying today.
i read about 40 more pages of One Dimensional Man by Marcuse on the train to my therapy session, and it was the art related chapter which I found much more interesting. also i got more candles, let's go!!
btw i found out fuzzi asmr on youtube and i guess i found someone else i like besides cal lol. i really just needed some pillowtalk to fall asleep or take naps. i love cal's voice bc it's so much like charlie cox's matt murdock, but fuzzi also kinda reminds me of him as daredevil?? like, when he lowers his voice with the mask on. idk. i'll take whatever reminds me of charlie. it helps a lot with my anxiety. </3

the worst part of being home
The food. The softness of the bed. The endless day of knowing that I have a house that contains a person who will be perfectly happy to kill me for no reason. The softness of the food. The softness of the bedsprings, the softness of the sheets, the softness of the pillow. There is a softness, a lightness which I embody, which can never be truly attained here, and which I will probably never truly attain anywhere. This softness is not loss, but familiarity. This softness is navigation, and to feel it is to know no freedom. Above me on the ceiling, lit by softly glowing candles, there is a wall of shields, which my hand, extended, can touch. If I were to release my hold, the ringing of bells, soft as candle wires, would not cease for a single moment.
-Ayn Rand, Anthem

candles, pages and leather for the asks!
Candles: Oh this is a hard one! Quotes always have been my favorite things other than music but my favorite one would probably be by Sylvia Plath, who wrote, "What horrifies me is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age." Or Virginia Woolf's, "My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness." Pages: YES and anyone who borrows my books HATES it because I write in pen, I highlight, I write in the margins, any available room there's notes. Red, blue, black, rainbow, there's notes EVERYWHERE, you should see my copy of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury or Anthem by Ayn Rand, it's FILLED. Leather: Tough trickster, you are. Looking For Alaska by John Green, because I lost someone the year I read it so it's very close to my heart...I try not to put stereotypical books on here like The Hunger Games/Harry Potter because everyone loves those but Pride and Prejudice (and 2005 movie) because who doesn't love Darcy am I right? Ummm and The Importance Of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, if you like plays. I usually don't but this play is BONKERS and I love it. I was sick with the flu when I read but it has my kind of sarcasm and it's short so it's a great read if you have a lack of attention span and/or don't like reading.
I know this is a lot and I'm sorry but thank you for asking!
Bougies: Oh, c'est difficile! Les citations ont toujours été mes choses préférées autres que la musique, mais ma préférée serait probablement de Sylvia Plath, qui a écrit: "Ce qui me fait horreur, c'est l'idée d'être inutile: bien éduquée, brillamment prometteuse et en train de disparaître dans un âge moyen indifférent . " Ou de Virginia Woolf, "Mon cerveau bourdonne de bribes de poésie et de folie."
Pages: OUI et quiconque emprunte mes livres déteste parce que j'écris à la plume, je surligne, j'écris dans les marges, toute pièce disponible il y a des notes. Rouge, bleu, noir, arc-en-ciel, il y a des notes PARTOUT, vous devriez voir mon exemplaire de Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury ou Anthem d'Ayn Rand, c'est REMPLI.
Cuir: Truqueur dur, vous l'êtes. Looking For Alaska de John Green, parce que j'ai perdu quelqu'un l'année où je l'ai lu, donc cela me tient à cœur ... J'essaie de ne pas mettre de livres stéréotypés ici comme The Hunger Games / Harry Potter parce que tout le monde aime ceux-là sauf Pride and Prejudice (et film de 2005) parce que qui n'aime pas Darcy, ai-je raison? Ummm et The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, si vous aimez les jeux. Je n'ai pas l'habitude mais cette pièce est BONKERS et j'adore ça. J'étais malade de la grippe quand j'ai lu mais il a mon genre de sarcasme et c'est court donc c'est une bonne lecture si vous manquez d'attention et / ou n'aimez pas lire.
Je sais que c'est beaucoup et je suis désolé mais merci de demander!
Velas: ¡Oh, esta es una pregunta difícil! Las citas siempre han sido mis cosas favoritas además de la música, pero mi favorita probablemente sería de Sylvia Plath, quien escribió: "Lo que me horroriza es la idea de ser inútil: bien educado, brillantemente prometedor y desvaneciéndose en una indiferente edad media ". O Virginia Woolf, "Mi cerebro zumba con trozos de poesía y locura".
Páginas: SÍ y cualquiera que pida prestados mis libros lo ODIA porque escribo con bolígrafo, destaco, escribo en los márgenes, en cualquier habitación disponible hay notas. Rojo, azul, negro, arcoiris, hay notas POR TODAS PARTES, deberías ver mi copia de Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury o Anthem de Ayn Rand, está LLENO.
Cuero: Tramposo duro, lo eres. Buscando a Alaska por John Green, porque perdí a alguien el año que lo leí, así que está muy cerca de mi corazón ... Trato de no poner libros estereotipados aquí como Los juegos del hambre / Harry Potter porque todos aman a ellos, excepto Orgullo y prejuicio (y la película de 2005) porque ¿a quién no le gusta Darcy, tengo razón? Ummm y La importancia de ser sincero por Oscar Wilde, si te gustan las obras de teatro. Usualmente no, pero esta obra es BONKERS y me encanta. Estaba enfermo de gripe cuando leí, pero tiene mi tipo de sarcasmo y es corto, por lo que es una excelente lectura si tienes poca capacidad de atención y / o no te gusta leer.
Sé que esto es mucho y lo siento, ¡pero gracias por preguntar!

Almost a books worth of love quotes
I love love quotes. They are so romantic and soul crushing when you don’t believe in the concept of love. It’s such bittersweet bliss. I have so many. Without further ado, lets dive in!

I love thee with a passion put to use in my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

You have to work out whether your roots are to become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No … don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But it is!” ~ Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Louis de Bernieres

45.) “You are sunlight through a window, which I stand in, warmed. My darling.” ~The Miniaturist, Jessie Burton
46.) “Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.” ~Hamlet, William Shakespeare
47.) “I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has knees at all.” ~Love Language, Chasers of the Light, Tyler Knott Gregson

71.)  “There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” ~The Truth About Forever, Sarah Dessen

79.)  “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” ~Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
80.)  “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.” ~Bob Marley
81.)  “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” ~William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

84.)  “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.” ~Alfred Tennyson
85.)  “When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.” ~Jess C. Scott, The Intern
86.)  “ But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.” ~John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
87.)  “And now I’m looking at you,and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.” ~Cassandra Clare, City of Glass
88.)  “A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever” ~Dave Matthews Band
89.)  “They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” ~Tom Bodett
90.)  “The very essence of romance is uncertainty.” ~Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

What you think of CoS? I think they just a bunch of closet Randroids.
Church of Satan is Ayn Rand with robes and candles.Anything of value in LaVeyan Satanism was just stolen from Thelema.

The Truth About Generating Income From Your Writing
The title "Anthem" implies a hymn of praise, beliefs, loyalty, devotion, pride and identity. The author Ayn Rand selected it since the book reflects her beliefs, which are concepts versus totalitarianism and collectivism. The story is also about the victory and pride of the individual's independent spirit, the triumph of those who decline the ethics of collectivism.
The truth of the matter is, you can never ever say what is the finest way to release a book. Both traditional and self publishing methods need hard work , decision, and perseverance in order to enjoy benefits in the end. It may sound as though self publishing will fast - track your writing profession but then who understands about what the future may bring?
writing is the same method. In the beginning - heck, throughout your profession - attempt out originalities, new categories, brand-new audiences, brand-new topics, and as they state, if it sticks, choose it.
I'm an author, not a professional photographer. But when I take a trip, I'm constantly taking photos of my adventures, and as an author I are accountable for getting the finest shots possible to assist illustrate my short articles. I did a lot of research study before deciding to buy this SLR and I have actually liked every minute we have actually invested together. It's not too expensive, not too big, it's simple to use and there are still loads of settings I have not totally made use of. Plus, it catches great pictures without needing to modify them later on. I love the HD movie recording - helpful for taking short videos of efficiencies and carrying out interviews with residents - and the reality that its battery lasts a week-long trek without a recharge.
Crochet Pattern Central, for instance, has an entire page with almost 200 links to pick from. Not all of them are for teapots. Some are for mugs, for coffee pots, particular fruit, candle lights and even a laptop computer. Also if you're looking for a cover for your kindle, Nook or Kobo you can find it here! Still the majority are the ones we are looking for. They have very unique ones, like Sugar 'n Cream - Chicken Tea Cozy and usually the instructions how to make them are great.
Review your regular monthly declarations right away as they get here. Think about using companies that allow online account access. In this manner you can monitor your account activity daily. Know when your bills are due, and report missing ones promptly (you are responsible for paying your bills even if you didn't receive the declaration).
For more read IPad or Kindle: Which Screen Injures Your Eyes the A lot of?, Kindle Reacts to iPad: Provides Multiouch, Color and Wi-Fi, and Will the Apple IPad Ruin the Kindle and Sony Reader.

“Don’t let assholes have satanism”
I mean given that it’s Ayn Rand with candles I think we might be a bit late on that one
