For anyone who has ever thought back to times when the future was just an inescapable inevitability of accomplishment, only to find that it is in fact only what you make of it, here is what I have learned.  Destiny is ever-changing and in order to meet it, you must also be adaptable to be able to thrive, yet even survival can be filled with pain and sorrow as you forge ahead.  Never forget, this is life and there is no tomorrow, yesterday is only a memory and today is slipping away with each breath.  But…Read more

I know it has been a long time and it pains me to think about it when I can't avoid it.  I think there are times in everyone's life when their dreams take a backseat to their reality.  It isn't pleasant and often feels quite depressing, but it is an inevitability we cannot ignore.  We have to fight for our dreams, they will not just rest on our shoulders and make themselves obvious when we have dreamed long enough.  I had to come to this realization once again as I break out of this 2+ year slumber.  There…Read more

Interestingly enough, punks apparently take on various forms and functions depending on the time and space you refer to. There are even those that exist in alternate realities in parallel universes. Steam Punks and Cyber Punks are some of my brethren, yet I tend to be more of an amalgamation, a bastardization of the intertwined souls of these Punks having gone beyond beyond and found OverHorde at the end of darkness just before Oblivion's Abyss. These things pour out of my mouth and gush out of my pores…Read more

Every few years or so there is another prediction that is to come to pass and end the world as we know it. This year however, is the big one, the really big one. That is one reason I live life as if there will never be a tomorrow because yesterday is gone. Today is all you have, so live like it and you won't have to worry about when the world ends. Truthfully, it really only matters when you end if you want to be technical. Even if you believe in an afterlife, other than being delusional, you are also…Read more

People all over the world believe in some sort of afterlife, some sort of existence beyond this one in one way, shape, form or another. The possibilities are endless, and although it is fascinating to think about, we must not loose sight of the life we have, the only life we have that is beyond conjecture and theory. It is the practice of life that one should focus on in order to find fulfillment. Your purpose is to live, for better or worse, to make something out of yours that will not go unnoticed even…Read more

I will speak my mind and show you those of us who cherish free thought will not just sit back and let the sheep continue to drag us down. Just because some view something as sacred doesn't make it so, it too shall stand up to scrutiny or fall under the pressure of dissection from within. For far too long the loud voice of faith has drowned out the unimpressed and indifferent muttering of the voice of reason. If this continues soon it will be to late for us to fight back as we will be engulfed in the…Read more

You assume that rhyme and reason are defined by god and heaven. Nature and science are based in rhyme and reason, not fantasy and fable. No one knows what happens after death and to proclaim to is nothing more then speculation based on superstition and fear. The mind is more powerful then you give it credit for and just as people see jesus in a piece of toast there are those conditioned to see "heaven's gates" in a moment of massive trauma. I have heard this explained by both religion and science in various…Read more

A mutant and a medical marvel:  Acute Sinusitis at 11 - 2 emergency surgeries to remove infectious pus from my brain through a hole in my eye. Totaled 2 cars in high school. Lived a very fast life, soaked it all up with experiences you could not possibly imagine with things and people you probably could not conceive. Unknowingly poisoned by a friend with enough liquid acid at a party to go on an infinite trip. I jumped out of a moving car and ran under a bridge to hide from aliens. Got hit by a car in a…Read more

There is nothing more beautiful then clouds on fire in the sunset. Even a mushroom cloud is an exquisite thing to behold given the right setting, that being minimum safe distance or better yet in high definition 3D. They hang in the air burning in all of their glory, yet with no pain, no suffering at all. They are not like us, we seek a purpose for existence, while they simply exist. There is no alternative or thought process and some days they do not exist, at least not in our plane. Mother Nature…Read more

What is your truth? Who are you really when the doors close and the lights go out? We all have parts to play, but are you always acting? I would like to think that more often than not, people are real. However, I have experienced far too much to the contrary to say that there is any validity to that thought. I have actually known more people that have no idea who they are inside their own skin. How could this be? I thought to myself and occasionally inappropriately outspoken, yet nonetheless…Read more

If you are listening to today's pop music, you are probably a romantic comedy or a dance movie, maybe with a little hood movie on the side.  There are plenty of ganster flicks and even some underdog, drama, horror, and so on.  I am war, horror, science fiction, epic, fantasy, espionage in a whirlwind of tragedy and desaster of apocalyptic purportions.  These are the things that stimulate me beyond the everyday, for that is where I live and yet underneath the surface there is a story that could not possibly…Read more

These have been strange months this year that have taken me away from The Chronicles as I have ventured into new endeavors. It is long overdue and I will now continue to carryon that which will pull you ever so close to the UnderWorld of OverHorde. You are invited to embrace yourself in the ethereal aura as the words attempt to captivate while the music seeps into your subconscious. Absorb the fullest of the dark arts and walk with the Magnificent Mutant sentence to life on Earth. Here we will begin…Read more

Interesting how those who have no faith in man, have complete faith in books written by men, translated by men, amended by men, edited by men, hidden by men then given and sold by men. I too have little faith in mankind, but I do have faith in a few humans to whom I can believe in should I have need. There are many who do not have this and for this and a multitude of other prime motivations they choose to "believe" they have someone or something watching over them, enlightening and inviting them to better…Read more

The Darkest Hip Hop Album Ever Recorded?

I don't know and I really don't care, that is not the point and the darkness is a product of me through no fault of my own. These are just the words I have heard from critics, friends, listeners and fans. It is what it is and that's just how it's supposed to be, what is meant to be. This is no attempt to "be" anything. I am morbid by nature and my heart has become blackened over time. This album chronicles the horrid visions that over came my existence in all…Read more

It is as if some moments were captured from another day, another period for which I have never really known, yet each sunset brings alive another memory of this. I look around in the present and it is as if time has passed me by, like I am out of place, living within the skin of another. I am wandering about aimlessly when suddenly the cause strikes me. Before I have a moment to think I have reacted without hesitation or the skip of a single beat. I wonder what song in my head will provide the…Read more

This just in, Chicago rapper Etare Neged has defied death yet again, this time surviving an extremely rare form of cancer: nasopharyngeal (the demon) carcinoma. Diagnosed during Thanksgiving of 2002 after a multitude of tests and examinations, he underwent 4 months of rigorous treatment culminating in 8 weeks of intense radiation therapy to the head, neck and face. At several points treatment became so intense that his flesh began to melt away, causing a number of complications, which left him clinging to…Read more
