I am the Siren

A man is often secretly oppressed by the role he has to play - by always having to be responsible, in control, and rational. The Siren is the ultimate male fantasy figure because she offers a total release form the limitations of his life. In her presence, which is always heightened and sexually charged, the male feels transported to a realm of pure pleasure. In a world where women are often too timid to project such an image, learn to take control of the male libido by embodying his fantasy.

Symbol: Water. The song of the Siren is liquid and enticing, and the Siren herself is fluid and ungraspable. Like the sea, the Siren lures you with the promise of infinite adventure and pleasure. Forgetting past and future, men follow her far out to sea, where they drown.

You are naturally born with a gift, whether it be
poetry, writing or song. You love beauty and
creativity, and usually are highly intelligent.
Others view you as mysterious and dreamy, yet
also bold since you hold firm in your beliefs.

What Type of Soul Do You Have ?

Your soul is bound to the Rose Petals: The
Wronged.

"'ve come undone and all hopes of mending
me are gone because the pain took my soul.
Can't you see? The only one who can put me
back together again is me."

The Rose Petals are associated with sorrow,
reflection, and wisdom. They are governed by
the goddess Persephone and their sign is The
Teardrop, or Broken Love.

As a Rose Petal, you are always self-reflective and
may be hard on yourself. You probably have
been hurt in the past by other people and can
sometimes distance yourself, as a result. You
don't usually let other get too close to you,
but you are very good at mending your spirits
back together by yourself.

I didn't write this, but I agree with it and know exactly what it describes... [13 Apr 2004|11:23am]

I get that alot of people say they don't like the "techno music" because it's "too repetitive" or, "it doesn't speak to us". On the other side of the page, they listen to a handful of cd's over and over again day in and day out, where the singer has the vocal range of a cat on a hot tin roof, the guitarist strums the same 3 power chords for the duration of every song, suffocating the bass in its near-inaudible pattern of strums that seems to be fighting for control of the song from the drums, which sound nice admittedly, but could be easily reproduced with a machine. I mean, who usually cares about the drummer, anyway, we all know they get the least amount of ass in the band unless the circumstance is very rare indeed. Granted, give me a good hook, and I'll sing along. That's what they're made for. That, or knocking somebody out in a round of boxing. Still, not to take anything away from the rock, or the rap, or even country, because I listen to all. It's probably because of this that I try to have an open pallette, an ear for the neux, an excitement only satiated by the depth of verse or production of composure.

THe techno, in the fine print, the subtle part of the page that most people gloss over, is the whispered melodies that one has to explore a bit to find. The deep susseration of bass, the phantom of a female voice singing of love or the loss of, the shadow of a rhytm that changes from a 164 bpm drum snare boom chink that switches its tempo subtley to a 328 bpm cascade of percussion that hypnotizes with its primitive cadance not unlike those used for mating rituals of the hunter gatherer tribes of mankind's infancy. Or maybe, tired of being outdone for so many years by it's cousin the guitar, bass decides to have a day of itself and comes in deep and hard like a stag film from the 60's, sweaty chest covered in hair, pounding mercilessly and assaulting our auditory orafice, leaving us dizzy headed and swooning from the feral ,savage, intransigent murmur turned roar that explodes inside of us. Mayhaps there's a projection of strings not unlike those of a symphony orchestra that pluck those of our heart, spellbinding us with every vibration that hums to us their hummingbird flights and bumblebee wings over snares of an ocean beating itself over an stand-firm landmass.

That's not to say that all the "techno muxique" is good. But, it's like every variety out there under the sun. In the right hands, molded with a perspicacitous creative inginuity and a vigorous passion, something can be made that is not unlike a warm hug with someone not yours that is uncomfortably familiar with no sign of either of you letting go for want of the other in your all-encompassing embrace. Music, even the techno, can envelope you in such ways. And of course, as i write this, I'm not listening to any but that of my rhythmic keystrokes and the lazy yawn of my computer's mechanics speaking to the not-so-appearent-unless - you - listen - for - it ringing in my ears that's always there for fear that I may one day actually hear silence only on the day death takes me from this earth.
-John M.
