Who the Hell are you?

First, the name is "Lobo Aru". Read the poem of same name to understand more. Bear in mind that "Lobo" is Spanish for "wolf". I shall always be known to my darkest fans as "Lu Cypher" (just "Lu" thanks). My irrelevant human name shall remain in the shadows.

My inspiration doesn't come from individual people. Truly, it comes from deep within me on my dark side. I find writing to be immensely cathartic and cleansing. I always feel better after writing, even if what I wrote borders on abysmal depression (or just plain sucks). I am creating rather than being destroyed. However, I am not all about the dark and I think those who dwell there excessively are fools. If you bother to read more than a couple of my pieces, you'll find I'm a little more complex than at first glance. The façade helps ward off the weak and irrelevant.

I was raised by extremely religious parents who did their loving best to indoctrinate me. I was utterly rebellious until I went to college, where I became completely outrageous (note criminalistic poetry). I have mellowed substantially since then, though I will always revel in the memories of those crazy days.

I also studied other religions -- not their validity like a pious puta, but the similarities between them all that demonstrate unequivocally that they're all stupid relics of sheep herding days millennia ago, followed by cowards afraid of death. I urge you to study philosophy and comparative religion. Then find your own path. Satanism is just another religion worshipping something ELSE that doesn't exist. Ridiculous. Satan as a concept is wonderful, but as an actual being? No. Silly fables not meriting an intelligent person's time. The closest thing to Truth is the Zen "religion". The Truth is bigger than our silly little minds can fathom. If you really want to gain an understanding of honest spirituality, try "The Power Of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. Now there's a genius.

Time truly mellows a person, as we begin to gain sufficient perspective, and can smile knowingly rather than naively. Having a child enter my life shifted my viewpoint immeasurably, and was a pivotal moment in my life to date. While I cathartically release my angst into the written words within and without this website, I find my thoughts drawn less to the dark unhappiness and more to the potential future. While that is a good thing for me and my general mood, it also marks a turning point in the kind of writing I'm doing. If you read enough of my stuff, you can get a gist of the emotional path my life has taken. It's a bumpy ride, my friend, a very bumpy ride. But WHAT A TRIP.

That's enough disclosure for now. Read Message to the Reader or read all my postings on the Message Board for more.
