vampire clause

I am sitting at work. It is four in the morning. I find myself pretending in my mind and truly believing that I could one day become a vampire. It would be foolish to deny that you the reader of this blog, have not thought the same, or wished for a similar situation. And if you haven’t, forgive my assumption that you have, and understand that now I have placed such an idea in your head, you will begin to consider. Not , of course that I have such power to do so, to change you I mean. I am still just pretending as well. Though, I must say, there are many conditions to my vampire-ism that would precede any decision or choice in the matter to become one. The following would be my “Clause” if you will. That is assuming I would have allowed time and dialogue to propose my clause to what would be a vampire impatient for my blood.

Ryan: Aside from common curiosity when such instances of expectant pain arise and the question it brings “Does it hurt?”, I would like to ask if I could possibly work out a few details prior to my anticipated and sure reformation?
Vampire: Such as?
Ryan: I do have a list . May I produce it?
( I will shuffle some papers with the notion to look as if I am well thought out , then produce a single paper) the list reads:
1. it would not be necessary for me to include myself in vampire activities, namely, killing and drinking any unlucky victims blood. I would not be looked down upon, or be considered less of a vampire for choosing such things.
2. I would not be unfortunately directed downwards after an untimely or decided departure from this world and life. That heaven could still and hopefully would, open its gates to me and say “ hats off dehaan, good job”.
3. I would not have to wear a full body leather suit all the time ( though I probably still would).
Ryan: That is it.
Vampire: That is it?
Ryan: Yes, that is what I just said, that is it.
Vampire: Okay. Though I am afraid I have no control over your second condition. But good or evil is ultimately up to you- to create, to live by, or to ignore. But mainly to create. I have no need for such things.
He then pauses and looks at me, I nod.
Vampire: Yes, it really hurts , but only for a second. Time to swim….

and then I will be a vampire.

the begining

it seemed like a good idea to begin the chronical of what has thus far been a dandy time being. this is the first day of what i hope will be many where i shall attempt , with all effort and purpose, a blog that will prove to be entertaining and captuating.

although i am afraid that i have already failed myself in the above ambitions , as i sit here trying to remember even the slightest of such.

i suppose i have to begin. i have finished my studies in philosphy and am just happy floating in the non existent happenings of this wonderful thing i call the post modern abstract. but that is for another time. in that floating i am going to find my way to australia once again, this october. october 11 to be precise. until then i am working for social services at a treatment home for aggressive youth. the excitement/fear of death is never lacking. it does however give me ample time to join what i have been resisting for some time ( the blog ) . it has me now, and one more obsessive compulsive routine activity shall be added to my list ( or failed commitment). either way it is not good.

last one in the water it is....
