It is necessary to see death. It is necessary to see death, stark naked, lurid and wild, Death as it pisses in the dark alleyways drunk and ecstatic on the jumps of drugs that are hard to name and harder to pronounce, it is still necessary to see death face to face. In a breach of society sanctioned lucidity hardwired in our brain, It is still very necessary to see death, To see the violent vandalism of civilization, Of ashes and nuclear death of atoms and atom bombs, Billions of flashlights burning up the sky, Smell of rotten carcass evaporating in sterile perfume of laboratory engineered poisons, Gases and liquids and solid whites of the eyes of the dead and the suffering of millions upon millions of innocence of ruthless greed of narcissist wankers. It is necessary to see death as it is, for the spring of flowers is nearly over and now we make war. 02/09/2013 ©asamvav111

Xue-Qi is what the vamipres take from the living which can be loosely translated as "Blood and Breath". So, I think you can consider blood as one of the sources. However, Xue is not entirely just blood and Qi is Prana. What I meant by anachromism, is that Sun Wukong travelled to India with SanZeng to retrieve Asta-Sahasrika-Prajnaparamita Sutra and Budhha's bowl and other texts & relics, as described in "Journey to the West". In the end, he recieves Bodhisatvahood from Buddha as grace; So, they can not be one another's past life (unless you follow Kalachakrayana theory, then they can... by creation of Kayabyuha... hmm... problems). Pig recieves protector deity status. You are correct regarding the reincarnation cycle. What I meant was, when the gods die at the end of their punishment, they do not go down to lower planes of existence. They return back to their Pure-lands. Their merital position remains unturnished till such merits are burned off or they achieve a higher Pure-land. However, they can not go beyond Kama-Dhatu. And for this clear restraint, Taoist Immortals and Buddhist Arhats avoid Deva-hood (another mix of theology that originally wasn't a part of Tao). Anyways, enough theology crap for now. Do as thou would. But, as a request, I would ask you to not to go completely against accepted traditions and always discuss (in forum) the logical support behind any eclectic esoteric idea that you introduce.

The five elements as transfered by Sanskrit Buddhist Traditions from India to rest of SE Asia, are Void, Air, Fire, Water, Earth (in order of appearance). The order of dissolution will be exact opposite. Chinese philosophy introduces Metal and Wood concept in Feng Shui and it is their own original invention which they later taught to Japanese. Each element has a particular attribute plus the attributes of the preceeding element. Void - Sound Air - Sound + Touch Fire - Sound + Touch + Form Water - Sound + Touch + Form + Rasa (no exact translation possible, life giving fluid entity, emotions) Earth - Sound + Touch + Form + Rasa + Smell Void and Air as you mentioned are replaced in chinese philosophy by Metal and Wood respectively. I like your interpretation of the elements, but I think the Water group should be more in tune with Biology and Time. Anyways, you are the king of this universe. So, type away. Will be waiting.

If I'm not too wrong, Chinese vampires do not drink blood, but life force Qi. Making Monkey King into Shakyamuni Buddha's past incarnation is kinda anachromic if you follow "Journey to the West". Putting Kitsune in the center does make the story quite interesting. This is afterall a dynasty altering demon which means political plays and it also has a less mentioned benevolent side. Gods as Taoist Immortals are bound to their pure-lands. They are more like managers in a big company. They have significant power and knowledge but can also be fired. Their power comes from their cultivation of Tao and their knowledge is incomplete. While it is correct that they are mortal in human realm and can not interfere directly, it is also true that after death (transmigration of soul), they don't fall from their high position and merely take rebirth in their pure-land. These are all traditional views. You as author have full right to alter them as you see fit for the sake of your universe. Will be waiting to read the final product. You have my attention.

I would like to play. I've never done anything like this and I have very scanty idea about RPG. Therefore, I would need guidance. I would submit my player bio later on.

hugs and prayers

I was just reading an article about lung cancer and how it is affecting american population especially teenagers. I hope he recuperates soon and gets back to normal life. Unless they get the biopsy results back, it is hard to say anything; but, I hope, since he is so young and the disease seems early in its track, he may just make a full recovery. Lets pray for that. And JoAnn, you can never replace anyone. You just learn to live with the loss. Hugs MamaCroc.

I'm sorry but really you roam around in work and post no pics here, why you...

Celethiel Sama is adorable but also so scary sometimes.*shudders*

Beautiful poetry, amazing rendition.

*Body parts that act on their own* I know a couple! lol! Excellently done. I would keep this in mind.

What do you have against the poor llamas?

Thank you JoAnn! I don't get much time to devote to my literary endeavors these days. I try sometime. Hugs and Chocolates!

So long it has been since I have touched those soft lashes of delicate yield So long it has been since I kissed those smooth curves of apple So long it has been since I glorified those abyss of passion, dark and deep So long it has been since I adorned your transcendent frame, your mask of deceit ©asamvav111

I rewrite other people's writing like my favourite author's obscure work for eg. It's like rephrasing the same sentences in your own way. It helps me concentrate. Also I do lots of reading and listening to music. Don't try to force the words out, that never works out right. Try to get your serenity of mind back and for that do whatever that works for you. Sleep is a good option, as you have found out first hand. Oh! Sex does wonders for an overworked brain. Endorphines relax your nerves. So you are, as the Chinese put it, renewed in the coupling. Hugs and chocolates.

Yeah, I always thought he was gay. In fact, youtube suggested me his channel because I was trying to find gay comedians. So think they figured it out earlier. LOL! Anyways, he is good looking, has a good sense of humor, a good comedian. Damn he is the whole package. He must be swamped with date requests.

Congratulations, Sasha! Embarking on a journey to an unknown treasure land, may seem terrifying in the beginning, but soon, you both will ease into it. I pray that you reach your destination smoothly. God bless you two. Hugs and Chocolates.

Our prayers are with you. The choices are not gonna get easier from here on but, you must learn to make peace with it. Wishing your grandmother recovery in whatever form it may come in. Hugs.

Happy Birthday James! May the coming year be full of love, happiness and prosperity. God bless. Have a grand party! Hugs and Chocolates!

RIP Gareth. Hugs. Only reason I never wanted a pet is that they make you so damn sad when they leave you prematurely or otherwise. I think it is like loosing a friend or sibling. That can never feel good. Bear with it and let time do its trick.

Happy Belated Birthday Mann! God bless.

"Doggie is sitting on her haunches looking at me like I am a nut case." The truest words ever said!

What MamaCroc said. Take care and stick to your meds. Hugs.

Happy Birthday! God bless. Have a great day, the biggest blast & party hard. May the coming year be full of love, laughter and happiness. Hugs and Chocolates.

What! um... RIP! Just so shocked.
