I'm back, sort of. I never really left, but at the same time haven't really contributed to this blog. I can't make any promises that I will contribute on a regular basis, but I will contribute when I really have something to say, such as today.
I have been, for as long as I can remember, a fan of the dark, mysterious and enigmatic side of life. As such, one of the biggest draws for me is the lore of the Vampires. I say "LORE" because realistically speaking, I have yet to come across any concrete and reasonable evidence to suggest that a Vampire is nothing more than lore. Sure there are people out there that state they are vampires, and even go to the extent of drinking real human blood from donors, but believe it or not, that does not make you a Vampire. At least not in the Hollywood depicted sense, and especially not in the traditional sense.
So why am I writing this you may ask? Simple, I wanted to get some things off my chest. Much like my other interest (paranormal), I grow tired of all the bullshit that I read about and hear about when it comes to Vampires. What I grow more tired of, however, is the fact that people cannot, and will not, come to grips with reality. You are all human, period. Whether you drink human blood or otherwise!
I watched a couple of videos on YouTube about people who call themselves Vampires and say that they have a need to drink blood..a NEED to drink blood. The psychology of the human brain is a wonder isn't it? Don't get me wrong, to each their own, but keep it to yourself and stop trying to make others believe what isn't true. It's one thing if you believe it, it's totally another thing if you try to impose what you personally believe about yourself onto other people. It's like the never ending saga that is religion, same concept. People are free to believe what they want here in North America and they do, however, problems begin when one tries to impose his/her belief onto someone else (for the most part, and this is excluding areas where bigotry and other backward thinking exists).
Speaking for myself, I would love to be a "Hollywood" vampire. Sure, I admit it, I would love it I were to be a Vampire that is immortal and lives the lifestyle of the vampires you see on the big screen, but, that's not really what the word Vampire really is. A real Vampire, a true Vampire is an undead creature, a corpse reanimated who's sole purpose is to feed off the living. Not so glamorous is it?
In any case, I'm done. I needed to vent and I've vented so I should be good for a while.
If you have any comments, you know what to do, if not, oh well.
