Another Halloween Season Kicks Off!

Hey all -

I really, really thought about just skipping posts this year on this blog. I have a Halloween/horror/Autumn tumblr blog (Hellowe'en Horror) and thought I would just use that. But, I enjoy finding different things to share, even if only a few people read or comment on anything. So, I am back.

I also hope to get my episode by episode recapping of Friday the 13th: The Series back on track. Have to see that through to the end!

To kick of this new season, here is a great Halloween-y/horror song I posted about last year and still love.

C'Thlu Thlu by Caravan.

Lyrics below.

C'Thlu Thlu

by Caravan

From the forest down below

Came a voice that cried "no"

Something seemed nearly dead

Making me feel so cold

Even the trees seemed to fear

There was something unreal

Couldn't see very far

And the sky had gone dark

So we ran, yeah, as fast as we can

Only thought to get away

On and on we didn't know where we'd gone

If it was night or day

"Come back", I can hear a voice call

I can feel it pulling me down

In my head it felt like something had said

You better slow down

But I tried so hard not to make a sound

Feeling better I turned round

And coming up behind me I could see...

Like shadows in the trees

They came creeping unknown

Keeping close through the ground

I can feel them tramp on

Saw the music they knew

We were somewhere close by

They began to crowd us in

Sinkin' deeper in pain

So we ran, yeah, as fast as we can

Only thought to get away

On and on we didn't know where we'd gone

If it was night or day

"Come back", I can hear a voice call

I can feel it pulling me down

In my head it felt like something had said

You better slow down

But I tried so hard not to make a sound

Feeling better I turned round

And coming up behind me I could see...

Like No One is Following...

I reblogged this pic over at my tumblr site (Another Cup of... Caffeinated Joe),
but thought it was worth sharing here, as well:

Obviously made about Twitter, it also works for blogging, whether here or at tumblr.
Do it for yourself, not for the follows or the comments or the reblogs.
Gotta enjoy it yourself or really, what's the point?

About Blogging...

As anyone who visits here may have noticed, there hasn't been anything posted since May 1st, and even that was just an embedded video.

I have been having trouble feeling creative, whether it is just in blogging here or writing in general.

Writing itself is a whole issue, but, in regards to the blog at least, I think I was making this place too ... specific, I guess.

I started this blog back in October of 2008. Here is part of the very first post here:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


(writing about previous blogs)


I wrote a few random things, nothing major, nothing regular. I always thought "why bother" and "what could I post that anyone would want to read?" But, reading a post today from a friend who hit her six-year blog-anniversary, I was shown a reason why I should blog: For myself.

She made a point of saying that she writes to get the stuff out of her head, and that resonated with me. So, I will post what I want, when I want and how I want. I won't ask anyone to read it or comment on it or care about it.

I will at least be getting some flotsam and jetsam out of my head. Maybe I can help my writing, find some ideas for stories, articles - whatever. But it will all be just for me.

Feel free to read, or not. Feel free to share, or not. Enjoy it, or not.

I am going to!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I obviously drifted away from that, a bit. I became sort of fixated on only posting things I was sure that would be of interest to others, especially things relating to horror films. I never intended for this to be a "horror movie only" site. Nor of any one particular subject, at all.


This was supposed to be randomness. Flotsam and jetsam. As it says above: "What I read, write, watch, listen to or do between hot cups of the good stuff." 


Hopefully, I can get back on track and post the weird and wonderful.
Hopefully, I will enjoy it once again.
In turn, I hope you will enjoy visiting here.
