I think I saw an Invisible man

My summer roomate just described as the deep country of Wales as the place a place where magic still lingers. It's not confined to wales--though it may contain a greater quantity--all of Europe bleeds with history. Every thing In sight teases with whispers of its history.


In the underground near Baker street shadows danced at the edge of sight and darkness itself was blacker. At night the Thames grew still and stars descended below the horizon.


Maybe I've gone crazy, but I prefer to believe that I've finally started paying attention. 


The magic world wouldn't be magic if it was easy to see, and maybe its only noticeable because I'm out of my comfort zone and if that's the case then I need to never be comfortable again. I understand why so many artist and writers went crazy became addicted to drugs or alcohol; inspiritlation comes from confusion all of literature all of everything comes from trying to understand.


Today, I saw magic--three days ago it takes a while for me to post stuff--the U-bahn doors opened, a crowd entered, took their seats or handholds, the train left the station. It took me a few seconds to notice one of the handholds moving the opposite of the rocking train. Focussing on this hipster of a plastic strap used for stability--do they have names?--I noticed it was pulled taut and bent as if held. for three stops this strap continued to defy physics and rock along opposite of mere gravity, then the doors opened the strap fell limp, people left the train, and the train left the station. 

Three thoughts passed through my head; Where was HG Wells's book set? Should I follow this guy? How do you follow an invisible man?

I am now on the lookout for magic, but unfortunately I think thats when you see the least.

Reasons Im a vampire, or soon will be

This is a scientific look at the reality that vampires are redheads and visa-versa.

Lets look at the facts,

  1. Redheads Have Higher Pain Threshold  
  2. Men and women with naturally red hair can withstand 25 percent more electric shock than non-redheads
  3. A 2002 study found that redhead are harder to sedate than any other people requiring twenty percent more anesthesia     
  4. Redheads don't turn grey. Red hair turned sandy, then white. They are also found to loose their color later in life than people carrying other hair colors
  5. Short temper and sexual fieriness are attributed to them.
  6. The sun is their natural enemy
And of course lets not ignore or ancient greeks who believed when a redhead died they came back as vampires. Of course this means that whenever if ever Chuck Norris dies then the rest of the world is doomed. Vampire Chuck Norris will kill us all...

but if we dont turn into vampires these things above should still be pretty terrifying
