Lorsqu’il publie ses Carnets, en 1949, Somerset Maugham est au sommet de sa carrière d’écrivain. Durant plus d’un demi-siècle, de 1892 à 1944, il a consigné dans ces pages les analyses les plus lucides et les plus féroces sur la société post-victorienne, sur lui-même et sur son oeuvre. Ce livre n’est pas seulement un répertoire fortuit de rencontres, ou un catalogue de remarques critiques inspirées par ses lectures. Il nous guide à travers sa vie, avec un mélange de tendresse et de causticité, comme si le lecteur était l’un de ses amis écoutant ses bonnes histoires au coin du feu, et l’on découvre avec étonnement et bonheur la personnalité ardente d’un homme dont la curiosité pour les hommes, les pays, les destinées des humbles comme des puissants, s’avéra insatiable.

Somerset Maugham - Et mon fantôme en rit encore. Carnet d’un écrivain

Conversation intime avec un des plus grands esprits du XXe siècle, les Mémoires de Somerset Maugham sont l’occasion pour celui que l’on surnomma le Maupassant anglais de faire le point, à 64 ans, sur sa riche carrière d’écrivain et de décrire par le menu l’apprentissage de ce métier si ardu qui s’apparente, le plus souvent, à une course de fond sans lignée d’arrivée. Cette exploration sans vanité ni fausse pudeur de la trajectoire intellectuelle, philosophique et politique de cet orphelin devenue une légende vivante de la littérature est, à chaque page, un régal que son humour si british rend irrésistible.

Rencontre avec Jacques Rancière, à propos de Tchekhov


- 1611 bible had 80 books with apocrypha. Now 66. Works like Enoch have direct warnings for today.
- Ritual of Mollech and ritual of Lucifer- Eating animals sacrificed to idols. Symbols on food products. Gives Lucifer power.
-Obey for answer to prayer. All is purposed, even injury. Purpose yourself in servitude regardless.
- Method of living- without exposure that man have. Must have sight of the Lord to escape. We will hide for a time. Things are becoming random and un-trackable.
-Do you belong to Christ? Choice, not obligation. Fright pride/ego. Can look like we have no consequences. Prosperity, Satan's tool is ahead for many.
AI- Will govern everywhere. "Not a robot" allows perusal of all history. Can tell intent and position with brain waves. We'll be unable to lie. "Agree" suspends all privacy. AI learns and grows and fabricates normalcy.
- Rev. 13- power= strength. Seat=kingship, command of spiritual realm, power center. Great authority= over darkness. 1st beast is a collection of nations. Dragon is Satan. False prophet is AC.

Here is a protest song that I wrote the lyrics for on Christmas Day, 2024, about how those in control want us to be joyous in our servitude, to be willing workers, and not be critical thinkers.  Here is the music video:

And here are the lyrics:

People do not change (they just die off)
Things get rearranged (cosmetic tweaks)
The world goes through the drill (rinse and repeat)
Nothing changes all that much

Call me a fool, if you wish 
It don’t matter all that much
They want us to be willing workers
They don’t want critical thinkers 

Happy in your place
A smile upon your face
Be joyous in your role
And do as told as you grow old

Work hard every day (for some huge enterprise)
Mediocre pay (good luck buying groceries)
One third taxed away (to pay for God knows what)
It costs a lot of money to build bombs and go to Mars, they say

Happy in your place
A smile upon your face 
So joyous in your role
Believe the narrative you are told

Those who disagree ignored or laughed at
Thinking for yourself is not approved
Doing your own thing ends badly, try it if you dare
Future predetermined, and I find it hard to care

Happy in your place
A smile upon your face 
Happy is your place 
A smile you won’t erase

Happy in Your Place

4/20/2025: I updated my profile to accept direct messages only from those that I follow. Most of the direct messsages were from people who heaped overly exaggerated flattery and praise on me, only to ask me to pay them to increase my popularity. And none of them have left similar comments at my songs so that all can see. Which makes me question their sincerity.

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."
