Many of you out there are up in arms about "The Secret." Well, it's never been a mystery to me. "The Secret" basically boils down to a writing called The Emerald Tablet, attributed to Hermes Trismegustus. Some people doubt he ever really existed and say that the translations of The Emerald Tablet are false, made up, writings of a medieval occultist. The point it all comes to is this:

"Like attracts like. As above, so below."
-Hermes Trismegustus, The Emerald Tablet.

Whether it existed or not, truth remains true. The hardest part is accepting that truth is based on perspective. We make our own truths. And then we have to live our lives with them.

Developmental Theology 089 - 3/28/07

Today's religion is Buddhism.

"All formations are "transient"; all formations are "subject to suffering"; all things are "without an Ego-entity." Corporeality is transient, feeling is transient, perception is transient, mental formations are transient, consciousness is transient."

-- ((The Eightfold Path), Buddha, the Word (The Eightfold Path))

Saint Patrick's Day(in retrospect)

Saint Patrick's Day. A holy high holiday in my circle of friends.

Where was I? Why, how nice of you to ask.

The wife and I headed over to The Local Performance Hall to celebrate with a lot of friends. My great friends, The Molly Maguires, were playing the party that night.

This was sort of a big deal for the Mollys, it marked the release of their second EP, A Quick Pint. What follows is a review of first the EP, and then the concert.

Rating : A-

Excellent work by the Molly Maguires. Their 2nd EP also features many traditional songs. Including crowd favorites "Johnny Go Easy" and "The Molly Maguires." Both songs are very true to the live performances. Michael Walters' mandolin style is truly an inspiration. Marc Michael's vocals are haunting on the song "Paddy's Excuse." Marc Michael informs me that my idea of "Paddy's Excuse" being haunting is hardly what it really is. He emphasizes the humor of the song. It may be that I am a little jaded. The content is definitely comedy, but the vocals offer an eerie juxtaposition. It's worth your time, no doubt about that. Drop by the site, and order a copy, or come to a show, get a CD, a t-shirt, and hear the real Mollys' experience.

Venue : The Local Performance Hall, Chattanooga, TN
Live Show
Rating : A+

This show was excellent. This was everything a Mollys' show should be. All of the crowd favorites, a lot of the band's favorites, Guiness and whiskey abound. The true Mollys' experience is the live show. This is where they really shine. I've been going to their shows for around a year now, and have never been dissatisfied. Live. That's the Molly Way.

In summation, new EP and Saint Patrick's Day performance both scored A's in my book. The Mollys' always make sure to put on their best, and this past Saturday was no exception.

Check them out. You won't regret it.

Holy Frickin' Hell (Boots Roots!)

I was going to post an article about my Saint Patrick's Day, or a video game review, or an article about recently discovered evidence that Shakespeare smoked cannabis and cocaine. But instead, I saw this on myspace. I cannot tell you how happy I am right now. This man is a legend in my mind.


That's Right! A CD release!!! I don't know how exciting the rest of you are, but I'm fucking ecstatic! I can't count how many days I've sat on a sidewalk listening to this man play. Boots is blues as good as it gets.
