Culpa , Oct 27, Visconti said something about how the room had a dark corner that sort of sucked the light out of it, and how that corner was noticeably colder than the rest of the room.
Bowie himself took one look and refused to sleep there. Eno reluctantly took the room, only to be woken most mornings by a hand shaking his shoulder, though there was no-one else in the room.

This is edited down from the Wiki entry. The mansion is rumored to be haunted. Artists such as the Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler Zavala have reported doors opening when they are known to have been previously closed. Zavala also cited one room, the bell tower, that the band chose to avoid while living there. Though it is rumored that the house has been haunted since , when the son of a furniture store owner pushed his lover from the balcony, the present mansion is actually built on the grounds of the old mansion, which burned down in the late s and wasn't rebuilt until years later to be used as a recording arts studio.
Nevertheless, during the recording of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's: Blood Sugar Sex Magik, more unusual things occurred. Consequently, drummer Chad Smith chose to not live in the house during the recording.

In this way it is a unique observation, and from this observation, one may pursue ideas as strange as the glow itself: And what to do with this? Here is where we arrive at the point where we either abandon fancy or meditate further on the idea.
The Ramshackle Beard
To what end do we meditate, if somehow, we find the time between obelisks of physical tasks and responsibilities? Are there things we can do with our most profound thought - the result of pointed meditation - that can rival the sense of accomplishment indigenous to sending emails, taking pictures, and writing down appointments in calendars, parceling out our time thus in lists and accomplishments? If you're an artist, the answer is of course, yes.
But to one who seeks a balance between fiscal responsibilities and the spiritual satisfaction involved in contemplating the cycle of creation while staring at treetops there is, at best, the option to keep record of our thoughts. Perhaps this is enough; the timeless art of journaling is timeless for a reason indeed.
Volumes of ruminations and sketches and ideas may not amount to anything other than occupied shelf space, but were one to make his profession of an action that affords fame, those volumes become testament to genius. But for those of us who will most likely never be famous for the things we do day to day, we can at best, be aware of our observations, pursue the secrets hidden between them in thought, and write it all down in a journal; perhaps then, our next email can end with an appropriately worded, thought-provoking insight, culled from the depths of our beings.

In recent memory, the "greaser" image of the s has seen little use, perhaps except in niche cultures that remain unchanging, and thus, could never be a part of the hipster endeavor, much less the mainstream. Existing as alternatives to what is mainstream, both of these entities implicate deeper thought or creativity, if for no other reason than for the fact that since a mainstream exists, so too thereby does a foundation upon which to build reflections or further considerations and therefore, the inspiration to create something one step ahead - in thought and in originality - of the mainstream; whereas many are content to consume what is instantaneously available and accessible, many are content to question what is instantaneously available and accessible and WHY such is instantaneously available and accessible, and what therefore would be a more satisfying alternative to this content. Fortunately, he was unafraid of ghosts. I've also read that Hookend Manor was haunted.
The holidays, for me, have always been a welcome reprieve from superfluous accountability - a break from exhaustive maintenance of a machine that works overtime in the interest of profit, expediency, statistics, and other such results yielding numerical values. To be accountable is to be a part of a machinery built of human parts, functioning as a whole to produce a desired result; accountability can reach the extent of superfluity when a part is no longer recognized as separate from the sum, and thus forced to work not to its individual capacity but to the machine's.
The work environment fosters conditions for the validity of the adage 'for every action there is a consequence' in hyper fashion, for in this environment, one's actions are inherently scrutinized, and are thus amplified in magnitude. Outside of the work environment, reflections and emotions are of a more flexible nature. They are formed with influence from an environment with less urgency. Of course, during the work week, one's reflections and emotions can continue to be influenced by the work environment, but if given an extended break from work, one's reflections and emotions are of a more personal nature, and thus, less pointed, perhaps more profound Personally, if my reflections and emotions are at any time, influenced more by work, my actions tend to be less forgiving towards others; I tend to become colder towards the concerns of others for it seems to me, there is somehow less time available for me to concern myself with the concerns of others, and thus, I think more of how others concern me.
Due to this hyper-human functionality, actions are amplified in magnitude and consequences follow in commensurate fashion.

It's humanity with the volume turned up. Now, without the urgent conditions of the work environment to directly influence one's reflections and emotions, one is more able to relax assuming of course, one's environment outside of work isn't violent, impoverished, etc. Perhaps in the process, one's thoughts become philosophical; perhaps one's thoughts become imaginative; perhaps one's thoughts give way to pure emotion, and pure emotion in its most human manifestation is characterized by compassion. I personally become aware of my sense of compassion and simultaneously, more compassionate, when I have the luxury to allow my thoughts to meander - when I don't have to focus them towards an objective.
It is for this reason that I posit that compassion - a deeply human potentiality - is often repressed when in an artificial environment, that is to say, the work environment.
