Love and lust are two different things that often go hand in hand. Lust can still be followed by respect and responsibility. There can be love without lust and lust without love. But at least some level of care for the other party/ies will always be present. Well, in most cases. 
 
Edit: there are many levels of romantic love. It isn't just do or die, black or white. After recognising that, maybe the separation of love and lust might make more sense. It is unrealistic to think sex will have no consequences (emotional, physical, spiritual, moral etc.). Some people can manage that, but for the majority? It just ain't like that and you're not faulty if you can't handle casual encounters, you're just human. We're messy like that. 
 

Haha yeah! I've got a ton of weird and vivid dreams I keep in a dream journal. Been trying to lucid dream for years now to no avail.

@Gesu you dream a ton!
 
I dreamed that I was a contestant in some new Gordan Ramsay cooking show. I was ecstatic. But for whatever reason, I didn't go to the first challenge. I still showed up for the judging though. My group was sat at a clothed round table in a large dining hall next to a set of double doors. There were windows all along the walls with curtains over them and soft light shining in. Everyone was dressed in a white shirt and slacks, and the men also had red vests on. Gordon Ramsay went around the table judging everyone's dish one-by-one.
 
Angela from the Office was also a contestant on the show and when he ate her food, he told her, in his typical manner, how terrible it was. She snapped back saying he knows nothing about cooking and then he fired back with a classic Gordan Ramsay rant. His roast was so bad (no pun intended)  it sent her away flustered and brimming to tears. I was next. I didn't even want to hear what he had to say so I pretended like I had a phone call and left.
 
I escaped to the room next door which was all of a sudden the living room at my parent's house. There was a little mini-poodle dog there and it was really sick. It gave birth to like 7 pups and then proceeded to eat them one by one. It then died and then came back to life rabbid with slime dripping from its mouth and its eyes filled with rage. I tried to calm it before waking up.

Aight, so all you FFXIV players will know that ounces, pounds and tonnes are referred to as onzes, ponzes and tonzes respectively. Well, last night, I dreamt that I was walking down the street with my psychology class and someone mentioned "conzes". Which, in my dream, meant "cocks". This girl in my class exclaimed "awwww, I love conzes!" so I just covered my face in embarrassment and that... was that.
I then dreamt that I was going around sampling fruit juices and chocolates but my alarm woke me up right after I bit into the corner of a chocolatey slab thing.

MORRIE has changed over the years especially since Hardcore Reverie and his latest album and speaking of Kyo; Kyo from D'erlanger's voice has changed over time, I guess you could say MORRIE and Kyo's voices get better with age. Ruki's vocal style has changed and HYDE's been refining his vocals since he started VAMPS. 
 
On the non-Japanese front I'd definitely have to say Marilyn Manson.

Welcome back to Copy/Paste, the series where the Official Reviewers team analyzes recurring ideas, trends, and even melodies across the scene to figure out what inspires our artists and what makes the scene tick. Like always, we separate things into Homages (tributes) or Copies ("inspiration"), and in the rare cases even Plagiarism and Beyond. It's been some time since our last installment, so we have plenty of interesting comparisons scheduled for today. Is your favorite band in the list?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The titles should be read from left to right, so generally the song on the left is the newer song (copy) and the song on the right is the older song (original).

EDITOR'S SECOND NOTE: This is all in good fun and isn't meant to be taken super seriously.

For me I've found that the best way to deal with being single is just accepting it and finding other ways to fill that void. I've spend my free time learning new things or building on my hobbies. And in between, spending time with friends and family. And if all else fails, I find that music is the one thing I can always go back to in any number of circumstances.

Dating apps are fun from time to time, but there's just this ambiguous wall that I have a hard time getting past when I match with people. I try to just have fun with it and use it as a platform to meet interesting people, even if we don't meet irl. 

You figure with a population of over 5 billion people and a large number of those people seeking a relationship, finding a potential mate would be somewhat within the realm of possibility 😂

The label Temporary Residence is doing a remastered re-issue of Mono's Hymn to the Immortal Wind and it's apparently remastered from the original analog master tapes. Available formats are a deluxe CD edition and a deluxe 2xLP edition (with 1,000 copies on colored vinyl).
 
Ships around mid June.
 
The packaging for the vinyl sounds amazing. The cover is die-cut with gold foil and exchangeable cover inserts. Can't wait to hear it too as I've always thought the original master sounded a bit flat and lacking dynamics.

While not my number 1 pick, I think Satsuki from Rentrer en Soi is a favorite of mine.  His growls have this agitated quality that makes him sound freaking pissed. But it's also kind of nasaly/high pitched so he sounds like a really nettled cat.
