About
My name is Jarl and I'm a Goth, I like to think I am a proper Goth, and by that I mean naturally darkly inclined... unlike many of these scene kids who would recoil in horror at the very sight of some of the things I find interesting and perhaps even beautiful. This does not mean I am a mopey doom cookie either, I am often happy depending on my situation... and right now I'm in love with a girl who is interested, so I'm rather upbeat but I'm not going to be listening to the radio or going to the beach anytime soon so don't worry
wink I do consider my self an intellectual, or at least above average intelligence for my age, considering I am 16 I haven't experienced much yet therefore I have no right to be stuck up about what I do know. So I can pretty much talk to anyone as long as they don't kill my brain with internet slang x_x
I'm also a poet, and I know when you see "Gothic poet" you want to cringe, but don't worry too much. I am confident that my poems are at least better than any emo poem you'll see around MySpace. I always try to be creative with the themes of my poems which often reflect the human condition, creating images of suffering, decadence, doom, longing, loss with passionate and/or intelligent but sharp words, but not limited to that, I do sometimes write about love and perhaps even some philosophical poems.
I consider my self somewhat of a "Gothic Music Encyclopedia" because I have a lot of knowledge about genres like Industrial, Goth rock, metal and such, but that's not all I know, I do know quite a bit about other genres most would consider alternative to the norm. I'm nearing 14gig worth of music, with so many bands it makes my head spin to figure out what I want to listen to. What I do listen to changes every day or so, at any given time I can be blown away by and obsessed with a band. But over all my favorites are Opeth, Marilyn Manson (everything before Mechanical Animals including pre-Portrait Of An American Family recordings/bootlegs) and Nine Inch Nails (everything before With Teeth).
I spend most of my time listening to music, reading, watching movies and going out with this girl I really like. So I don't work or go to school, which is awesome - and for as long as I have or have the possibility of a "girlfriend" then it does not get boring. Why am I not at school still? I was expelled from skipping classes to much as well as other offenses that built up over the three years I spent there. But I find their lessons to be quite useless as all they create are opportunities to fit into a working world of conformity... which I have no interest in, I'd much rather be a starving writer with way too much time on his hands. since I "left" school I have learned more within the two years since then than the 10 years I spent in there. Thanks to Nietzsche and other assorted philosophers also not to forget the many fiction writers who offer a glance into the worlds, minds and hearts of human beings.
I don't much care for religion, though I used to be a LaVeyan Satanist (which is a philosophical atheist religion, not spiritual, devil worship is Luciferianism or Traditional Satanism) but soon after joining that bland culture I realized that a Satanist is a myth, I swear almost every Satanist is stupid, in the aspect that they are Satanic Sheep who parrot the Satanic Bible and bash Christians because it's cool. In short, a bunch of nerds acting like jocks. They totally go against everything LaVey wrote about (though he mostly ripped off already existent concepts and philosophers like Ayn Rand and Nietzsche), they are just Christians... the same delusion of elitism and the same ignorance and dualism, but just a little darker and reder. Every religion has the same flaw, the flaw of being a religion. So yeah I am an atheist, nothing else.
