Sir Charles Chaplin...no one else, ever...although Robert Smith, Peter Murphy and Tilo Wolff will always be close behind. :)
Foolish sickness, as bred through woes
As recourse breeds betwixt my toes,
And yet - oh yet! - it ne'er is parted,
Keeps such source from which we started.
Luxurious movement - monumental,
Trepidatious, incidental.
Movement said shines hearty sips,
Past savoring tongues and meager lips.
Old I am and old I stay,
And oh! how treasured 'tis this way!
I grow from such, I grow from past
To structure time's impassioned mast.
- Channyn E. Holvey-Bates, 2003

Steven Wilson, I love you. I love you so much. OH MY GOD, I am so freaking in love with you.
I find my mind necessitates spontaneity and developmental growth. This may be acquired through moving phrases and wintry sunlight. I seek it not for luxury but for visionary truth, a somewhat judicial frame of imagery. I become weary from that uncomfortably commonplace process grinding at such a sermon ecstatic in indescribable fear, impatient in its exclamation, anxious for its search of a fresh theme to fabricate so that perhaps, with such finesse, I may be loved. "Treat this weariness," I spoke through grace. "Mend with a screaming shawl cautiously woven with the sweetest and most docile embedded within its boundless memory. Love shall then persist to find thee through an enamorous veil of extraordinary shade and rhythmic fashion. Cease to express, you shall regretfully bear the gorgeous remorse of lightless constancy. Nay, lick thy flame with second breath and find me there and love me as I you."
Who I'd like to meet: Any individual who has somehow obtained or has always possessed an admirable respect and purely healthy obsession with those which are greatest: wisdom, nature, faith, art, love. I also often seem to gravitate to people who have a unique and strong sense of humour, and I do tend to flock to those who have strong souls.
Hey whats going on? Hope you don't mind us whoring ourselves on your page, we're a new band from Akron trying to get the word out about our 1 year aniversary show, our biggest show yet, you should come out. Support local music.
THE KENT STAGE PRESENTS ^♠^ GOD'S BLACK.45 ^♠^ HALLOWEEN PARTY 1 YEAR ANIVERSARY SHOW
We are a taking break from recording, for our aniversary which is featuring other great acts such as: Skel Riffton, Catera, Snuff Film, Not This Body, and Born Empty.
Tickets are $5.00 dollars, Get them now, we WILL sell out. Just hit us up on here, leave us a comment or a message if you want a ticket. We can mail them, you can pick them up, or we even have a person that goes out once a week and drops them off. they are going fast!
Its all ages! doors open at 7:00pm they sell fairly cheap beer and wine there, but security's loose, and i'm sure their drinks aren't as cheap as stuffing a 5th of 110 vodka into your girlfiends purse, Just a heads up. I don't like our fans being discuraged to come see good music by bar prices.
