The Ego Is Kind Of

I Am A Little Suspicious Of Industry Paradigms. I Feel Like So Many Movies And Tv Shows Feel So Familiar Because Of Over-reliance On These Paradigms.

The Idea Of Celibate Vampires Is Ridiculous. To Me, Vampires Are Sex. I Don't Get A Vampire Story About Abstinence. I Don't Care About High School Students. I Find Them Irritating And Uninformed.

Vampires Are Total Sexual Metaphors; There's Just No Way Around That.

And As I Stumbled Onto Eastern Philosophy And Buddhism, It Was The First Time I Had Ever Read Any Sort Of Philosophy That Really Made A Tremendous Amount Of Sense. What I Liked That Was Missing From My Experience Of Christianity Growing Up Was A Sort Of Acceptance, A Sort Of Being Ok With Being Imperfect And Not Focusing On The Sin.

It's Easy To Look At The Vampires As A Metaphor For Any Feared Or Misunderstood Group. It's Also Easy To Look At Them As A Metaphor For A Shadow Organization That Says One Thing And Has A Completely Different Agenda On Their Mind, And Anybody Who Gets In Their Way, They Just Get Rid Of Them. Does That Sound Familiar?
