Type O Negative: Love you to Death Lyrics

3. Love You To Death

In her place one hundred candles burning
as salty sweat drips from her breast
her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya,get...

Black lipstick stains her class of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

I beg to serve, your wish is my law
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death
Shall I prove I mean what i'm saying, begging
I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get..

Let me love you too
Let me love you to death

Hey am I good enough for you?
Hey am i good enough for you?
Am I?
Am I?
Am I good enough
for you?

  • The Business of Terror: Conceptualizing Terrorist Organizations
    as Cellular Businesses





  • A Formal Characterization of Cellular Networks


  • "A cell is a distinct subgroup of actors within a larger cellular network. The presence of at least one cell is fundamental to a network’s distinction of being cellular—without at least one cell, a network is not cellular. Empirically, a cell often consists of relatively few actors and has a distinct topology that is effortless to identify visually. The actors in a cell can be partitioned into two distinct but intertwined subgroups, namely the cell-core and the cell-periphery."


  • The Complexity of Terrorist Networks






  • QUANTIFYING INSURANCE TERRORISM RISK



  • "If the ideas of swarm intelligence are applicable to any group of human beings, it would be to zealous and fanatical terrorists, bound together as one by the Islamic bond of brotherhood; as absolute as that shared by blood relatives. Such a terrorist group could not be adequately represented simply as a set of single-minded individuals, espousing a common cause. Much of their special strength resides in the unusual qualities of their collective swarm intelligence, which govern the group’s fearsome capability of executing extreme acts of terror and escaping prior detection.

    Jericho 941

    I like the 941 for it's clean lines and the simple, yet robust modernization of the CZ-75 which is itself a robust copy of the venerable Browning High Power.

    Wiki had this to say about the 941,

    "A modified version of the Jericho 941 was the weapon of choice for Spike Spiegel, protagonist of the anime TV show Cowboy Bebop."

    On matters relating to intellectual honesty

    It has been said that this blog practices revisionism. This is nonesense. All loyal blog readers should do well to denounce the petty agitation efforts of anti-blog subversives.

    Only the petty diletantism of a revisionist would him or herself stoop to such base accusations. IN the interest of good taste, all claims to the contrary will not be tolerated. Now close ranks and get back in line. There will be no defection from the status qou. This band marches on.



    In _The Poverty of Philosophy_, Marx wrote:

    "The working class, in the course of development, will substitute for the old bourgeois society an association which will preclude classes and their antagonism, and there will be no more political power groups, since the political power is precisely the official expression of class antagonism in bourgeois society." (p.182, German edition, 1885)

    " The state is a special organization of force: it is an organization of violence for the suppression of some class. What class must the proletariat suppress? Naturally, only the exploiting class, i.e., the bourgeoisie. The working people need the state only to suppress the resistance of the exploiters, and only the proletariat can direct this suppression, can carry it out. For the proletariat is the only class that is consistently revolutionary, the only class that can unite all the working and exploited people in the struggle against the bourgeoisie, in completely removing it."

    Aldous Huxley

    "Thought is the brain's three milliards
    Of cells from the inside out.
    Billions of games of billiards
    Marked up as Faith and Doubt.

    "My faith, but their collisions;
    My logic, their enzymes;
    Their pink epinephrine, my visions;
    Their white epinephrine, my crimes.

    "Since I am the felt arrangement
    Of ten to the ninth times three,
    Each atom in its estrangement
    Must yet be prophetic of me."

    Buckminster Fuller

    The support of life on our planet consists of two kinds__metaphysical and physical. Both cosmic and terrestrial energetic regeneration, organic and inorganic, are physical; while the know-what of pure science and the know-how of applied science are both metaphysical. The know-what of science’s experimental evidence informs technology’s know-how to employ efficiently the substantive resources and synergetic metaphysical patterns progressively found to be operative in Universe. These are essential to the maintenance of life on board our planet as well as in mounting local-Universe exploring excursions from our mother-spaceship Earth.
