the wedding wasn't much to speak of, but the reception was excellent.
They went to a site where rumor states a rare dinosaur bone was there
So the man said to his wife.. "I've got a bone to pick, with you~"
(Correction: they are not archaeologists they are paleontologist!)
So my spouse leaned in close and whispered..."Syrup."
I posted in an earlier thread that Kiss the Go-Goat was one of my favourite Ghost songs and one of my favourite songs by any artist. This is definitely true. I have since thought about why this is the case and I wanted to share my conclusions. I am also procrastinating from uni work, lol.
TL;DR. Kiss the Go-Goat distills down a lot of the musical features I associate with Ghost’s career over time into one song. The lyrics express a progressive, feminist, sex-positive message that I personally agree with and want to see more mainstream rock and metal bands communicate.
The musical reasons why
Firstly, the retro vibes that Ghost give off is what initially put me off them, but now it’s what I adore. Not only have we seen strong 70’s and 80’s influences in Ghost, but now we also see a late 60’s influence throughout the Seven Inches of Satanic Panic EP. I tend to regard Ghost as a loving homage to the popular culture of the past, whether that be horror movies or the advancements in hard rock and heavy metal music. I feel like I learn something about previous decades cultural and creative landscapes by listening to Ghost’s personal blend of these. The melody is great, the synth/organ is catchy and fun. The length of the song is perfect and keeps its momentum, which makes me want to replay it over and over.
Secondly, the vocals. Tobias’ vocals really shone on this EP, much better than his performance on Prequelle. While Ghost seems have been designed around higher and thinner vocals, I love his lower register and how parts of the chorus repeat Satanic names in this manner. If you haven’t yet, listen to the live acoustic version of He Is and tell me he doesn’t nail that. This vocal performance reminds me of Year Zero. It’s both an approximation of a solemn ritualistic way of repeating the names while keeping it humorous and therefore congruent with the overall tone of the song (and Ghost’s tone in general).
The ideological reasons why
First, some background. I tend to argue that Tobias isn’t a Satanist based on the limited information he gives about his own beliefs. He doesn’t believe in gods, but believes in loosely defined energies that can be interpreted as magical. He has “a good relationship with Satan” but doesn’t elaborate. Because of this I can’t say that his pattern of belief fits in with either theistic or rationalist Satanism. This is of course a limited and binary definition of the term, but it is my understanding that very little

The above is fitting in so many ways, as are many other famous quotes from a long time ago... We may be in a modernized digital world, but the fundamentals remain the same.
This is a long post, and I apologize but rather than just join the echo chamber, and shout 💎🤲🚀 etc.. Let's take a minute and really assess where we're at and where we've come from. This IS NOT telling ANYONE to 📄🤲 .. Quite the opposite in fact.
As it stands I bought at $325, the night shit really turned pear shaped (on paper) and I watched the initial investment jump up to just short of $500.. I was grinning about it, thinking I'd timed it just right..
Moments later, the market was halted, share buying restricted, prices began to plunge.
And continue to plunge.. day after day.
I have then watched the shit storm unfold between then and now, but I've learnt a BUNCH and become almost addicted to wanting to know more.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
We have all heard this a MILLION times in our lives, but it's true. And the more you educate yourself about this current situation, regardless of how it resolves, the more it will help us all in the future. This is just the beginning.
The market will not be the same after this, the SEC investigators, super autistic apes, politicians, billionaires, people from ALL walks of life, and levels of varying smooth brains will look further into this and explain clearly how it all went down. Lap the knowledge up. It will help you in the future as part of WSB or solo.. it WILL help.
I mean fuck. Netflix is already making a movie. People will be talking about this for a long time yet as the trade that changed how Wall Street does business. (I agree with all the others too.. give them a happy ending! 💎🤲)
What I'm getting at is this kind of fuckery with the ladder attacks, the blatant FUD campaigns on the media, the bots, the busted brokers, trolls and everything else that has been thrown against you is you learned.
You learned what Wall Street is capable of, what they will stoop to, what to expect next time, how they are doing this, the tactics they use.. And just for a second, place yourself in their shoes.
The big guys have the lifestyle that many of you can only dream about, and if you have that.. you will do *ANYTHING* to protect it. The rich don't get

This didn't really happen today, more like over the course of the past 4 years. This is a throwaway because I'm very embarrassed. Sorry about formatting, I'm typing this on mobile. My girlfriend of 3 years passed away in a car accident about 4 years ago. It was a horrible event and I still haven't been able to get back into the game since. I was and still am very much in love with her. Now to the fuck up.
My favorite possession of all time is her pillow. It smells like her, and I usually sleep with it every night. I haven't washed it out of fear of losing the smell (I know, gross but I don't think straight anymore). I hold it and hug it and it makes me feel warm inside. But this morning when I went for a particularly long morning run I started smelling the smell. Really strong. It confused me but I wasn't going to start complaining.
This morning, about 20 minutes ago I arrived back home and went to change out of my workout clothes. And the smell grew more pungent. This was the moment I realized that after 4 years of sleeping with her pillow, I got it all dirty and smelly and that was the smell my brain now associates with her. I'm embarrassed and distraught that the smell I thought was hers has transformed into my sleep sweat.
TL;DR- Slept with my passed away girlfriends pillow for 4 years, and have fallen in love with my man sweat.
Edit: I would reply to all of you if I could, but today has been very emotionally taxing. Thanks for all your kind words.
Everyone left very sweet and well meaning comments telling me to be careful and to relax a little before jumping into something. I honestly appreciate it. But I deleted the post when I realized I sounded like a twelve year old and maybe was moving too fast.
Luckily we were all wrong. We just celebrated one year and I’ve never been happier.
We have a home together. Today’s his one day off and like he does every Sunday, he woke me up with a hot latte in bed from our favorite place. I’ll go make him his fav Sunday breakfast in a second. We’ve never fought - we schedule time to talk about things we wanna talk about lol.
I don’t necessarily recommend moving as fast as we did but I knew that he was special and that we were special together. Thanks to everyone who tried to get my head on right!
ETA:
Omg thank you guys!! I was just feeling sappy and in love with my coffee in bed.
Thank you sooooo much to everyone sharing similar stories. I’ve loved reading all of them.
I met my friend Mikaela when I started college, and I was 17 and she was 21. She became like my best friend/big sister almost immediately. Her brother, Charlie, was 24 at the time. When we met, I immediately had a huge crush on him. (Duh, who wouldn’t he’s gorgeous and an extremely talented musician.) obviously, nothing could happen, as I was underage. And I’m sure he probably just saw me as a kid/ little sister. As soon as I met Mikaela and her family, I immediately clicked with them and I’ve literally spent every holiday and vacation with them in some shape or form (including both Charlie and their other brother Stephen). Charlie and I have actually become quite close to each other, as we have a lot in common and I’ve actually helped him with a lot of music. He says I’m “funny” and “special” and “so important” a lot. I honestly don’t know if that is just friend zone/ little sister terms or if maybe that’s a hint at something else. I’ve always really struggled with self esteem and self worth, and he knows that, so I think he tries to make me feel better. He’s also been quite protective with me, but I can’t tell if it’s like just big brotherly? Or if maybe he could like me? Which makes my situation even worse because I’m spending all this fine with him and he’s been so sweet and I don’t want to make a fool out of myself by accidentally blurting out I’m in love with him. Sometimes I feel like I can’t hold it in anymore, though. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose him over it, and I don’t want to lose Mikaela or her family from awkwardness. Advice? Sorry for rambling.
The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
