Jack Argyle Interview

This month, Guitar Conqueror had the chance to sit down with the greatest guitarist born, Jack Argyle of "Jack Argyle and the Mysterious Dancing Band" and "Jack Argyle's Magic Railroad", for his first interview since "The Book of Cats" album and since his return from rehab three months ago, to talk about his new album "If It's a Black Star, How Can You Tell, Because I Can't See It at Night." Guitar Conqueror: How are you doing since rehab, Jack? Jack Argyle: It's been rough going, you know, but the support of all of my fans have helped me get back on my feet. GC: Good, good. So, you've been secretive about your rehabilitation. What caused

A Letter to my Muse by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

A Letter to my Muse

My hand shivers as I write this letter to my muse. It's cold, but the uncertainty I carry in my heart, that she might not be touched by these words, makes it feel colder. I can only find the courage in the baby blue eyes of a Siamese cat, who stares at me in curiosity, wondering what could bother me so. In his gaze, I see a youthful energy -- a free spirit, eagerness and excitement. It's as if he could bound up a couch or onto some windowsill and begin to trot or play. His gaze reminds me of her: carefree and happy, ready to dance at any moment, or run and sing. It's not as if I'm at a loss for words; my muse has seen to prevent that. It's ju

My Dying Voice by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

My Dying Voice

Let my voice be heard. Let someone hear it before it drowns in darkness. Let me touch your heart. Let me leave something before I die. Hear me sing in my final hour. Don't let me be all alone. I'm afraid of how cruel life can be, But what I fear most is to be forgotten. Let me understand my flaws, So I can better communicate them to you. I know I'm not perfect, But does that mean I can't enjoy life? Please learn from me. Learn how stupid and incapable of learning I am. Become better than me. Learn the things I can't learn. Am I not even allowed my small, simple pleasures? Are my simple pleasures enough to kill me? Learn to e

Timeless Dance by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Timeless Dance

He saw her once, as the waters drifted calmly with the gentle heartbeat of one heart, one mind, one consciousness. Standing by the gates of a great palace in Paris. Dressed in white and gold, with hair the brightest red. He saw her from afar, in black and gray and the red of his bleeding heart. A heart that bled for her. He had seen her once before, in some faraway time. In Rome, when Caesar marched back as champion. In Alexandria, when one of the world's greatest empires rose. In times before men could speak, and their songs heard. And forever the fate was the same. He did not know her name. He never needed it. And she never aske

Incantation for Unholy Power by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Incantation for Unholy Power

Star of darkness, star of light, Give to me celestial might. Make my enemies take flight; Make them lose the will to fight. In my anger, give me power -- Demon's strength to make fools cower. Give those fools a blood rain shower: Let that blood grow poison flowers. Make me a killing machine With powers that you've never seen. I'll turn their kids and livestock mean, And turn their drinking water green. Give me blood as hot as fire And I'll create a magic pyre. I'll spread the flames out wider, higher, Until they bow and call me "sire". Let me turn their light to dark, And my soul will, the same, embark Upon that path until I

I Don't Want Candy by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

I Don't Want Candy

I don't want candy. Give me something sour. I don't want to live my life thinking I'm always right. The more I know, the more I think I know, And the more I think I know, the farther I think I've come. Show me that I'm wrong. The haughtier I become and the more that I'm right, I forget how little I truly know -- And one day I will come to learn how far I haven't come yet. Or I will learn that this world is simpler than I thought, And I will not be happy. I do not believe I know even a drop of "everything". I don't want sunshine. Give me a rainy day. Remind me that there is more than happiness in this world. But remind me that l

Requiem of Constitution

Should it chance upon You some lazy, careless evening, Sitting alone while the sun rests Warm upon your back, Slowly falling, nearly spent, Then know horror, and never Doubt again -- That within peace's disguising veil, Malice and darkness hide. For it was I, who Happened upon it as I made to retire, A day's success and warm thoughts To walk with me, my only companions. It was through familiar streets And bustling life, did I Perceive the shadow, The beastly visage. Under veil of the light that guides Humans, and teaches them kindness. A king! What sort of Evil should dare dwell In the man who rules by Heaven's mandate?

Sonnet for a Virtuous Man by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Sonnet for a Virtuous Man

We remember the ancient stories' days: Of men who, brave and strong, great battles won. Great tigers, dragons, giants (who don't run). And slaughter men who live unholy ways. But juggernauts, the only heroes, they? Are they the only that glow like the sun? What of the legends of great kindness done? Such as the kind, virtuous Liu Bei? Are we so quick forget the peasant's plight? "Unwise to keep them safe while you must flee." But your life, though in danger, mattered not. You wept for them, stayed with them, in their flight. No strength of arm, so we abandon thee? So boring is the virtuous man's plot!

The Time-Lost Vassal by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

The Time-Lost Vassal

My lord of Echigo, where are you now? You leave behind no echoes of your mind. I walked Kawanakajima to find, Some scattered remnants left behind by thou. I walked up to the hill where, silent, found, Where Daijo Masanobu left behind. The cover of the night and found the bind, That comes with frigid water's hunting hounds. I marched, just like I did that fateful day, Back to the Hojo's lands so I may search. Tedorigawa did not hold you there. Where are your scales to direct my way? Where did your wisdom and your spirit perch? Your vassal, born too late, can barely fare.

Sonnet for the Vagabond Heart

Sweet lady, just a moment, if I may! I ask for just a little of your time. And please forgive me for these eyes of mine. You see, your radiance directs their way. And rare should I to see such in a day: A maiden with such soft a face as thine. And eyes that even the sun can't outshine. And I've walked "many miles", as they say. Yet honeyed skin and hair, I've oft beheld. Though none compare to yours; this much is true. And Venus turns green when she sees your smile. In jealous rage, a million stars she felled! Forgive me, dear, if I've offended you. But if not, may I walk with you a while?

Sonnet for the Scorpion by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Sonnet for the Scorpion

Who is that man that speaks with fevered tongue? Or speaks in very few words at a glance? You cannot help but join him in a dance; With charisma as bait, his trap is sprung. His eyes and soul seem old; his face is young, He's like a fire, making its advance, Though do you really think you stand a chance? Obey him or your sorrows will be sung. In love and life alike, he's as a flame. No truer friend you'll find; his friendship's fierce. But many liken him to Huang Zhong's bow: With lightest touch, a headstone reads your name. You'll never see or feel his stinger pierce. His name's loyal, deceptive Scorpio.

Apocalyptic Disaster by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Apocalyptic Disaster

When comes the son of God to walk upon the mortal plain again, the signs of the end of days shall be known to all who live. He will appear when great evil walks your domain; when the good and holy and just are persecuted by the demons and shadows, He will appear, and He will throw open the seals that mark the end. For those who are truly righteous and pure, the hunt for their lives and souls shall grow even greater. But if they persist, and remain true to the way of God, they will find deliverance, and live eternal. The persecutions shall be short, for they mark God's judgment upon those who do not see Him as their Lord and Salvation. When t

Literature

Wisdom Number 1

I was once told a story, Sometime ago, back during one of my lazy days. One day, sitting at some coffee shop or some other place. I truly don't remember. But it was in this story that I was reminded Of a lesson I've learned in life. And it was rather interesting. He was knee-deep in debt. Had no gilfriend, had no real job. Had no real age, no real experience. I think he may have said something about family problems... But who doesn't have family problems? After all, won't brothers quarrel every now and then? And isn't it the role of the child to fight and resisit their parents when they get old enough, So that they may be able t

Cthulhu Dreams Part I by MightyLuBu, literature

Literature

Cthulhu Dreams Part I

The world was a quiet and lonely place from the top of Mount Pythes. The summit wasn't a very tall one, but few mortals ever dared to climb it. They claimed it was haunted, possessed of something beyond their world, and perhaps their comprehension. They claimed that to inhabit it was to disturb that which dwelled within its demesne. So the cliffs were undisturbed by any except the few who had ever climbed it -- those few who were not mortal. So for them, it was a quiet and lonely place. The superstition served well enough. Perhaps part of it was true, as Mount Pythes had only one type of regular climber. And those regular climbers stood upon

This is a placeholder for when I can properly write this journal, and also a test of headers and footers. Mr. Fair updates and Neverwinter stuff coming soon. Here's a spoiler in the meantime: http://my.mmosite.com/2165757/blog/item/mmosites_neverwinter_livestream_early_access.html

What happened to your boy?

0 min read

He's still here, believe it or not. :) As a matter of fact, I check deviantART on a daily basis. I know that doesn't mean much, because...holy crap, it's been over two years since I've updated this journal! I'm sure by this point, most of you have forgotten about me, and that's fine. But for those of you who do remember and aren't kin/close to kin (otherwise you'd already be up on my current goings-on), I figured I'd swing by and give you an update and explain just why the hell I've been away -- and where I've gone to! I'm still trucking and trying to make things happen. I originally said that deviantART was going to serve as an informal p

I've finally become victim...

0 min read

...to the red ring of death. For those of you who don't know of the dreaded Red Ring of Death (or "Red Rings of Death"), it's when the X-Box 360 has a hardware error and becomes a $300 (or, in my case, a $500) paper weight. It's a common affliction to the system, typically more so with the older units (it was a downright epidemic with the older units), but considering that I only got mine about half a year ago -- after Microsoft caught the problem and began to rehaul their systems -- and that mama was kind enough to shell out for the Elite model (I needed the HDMI port), I didn't think my system would become victim to the dreaded scourge.
