When I was younger, starting during my high school years through most of my Military Academy period, I kept a journal. Not sure if you can call it a journal per se (no not a diary, you jerk) as I did not write about my day, but I wrote anything that would get my attention, or thoughts, fantasies, songs, pictures ... I doodle a lot in it ... a little of everything. More a notebook, I guess, a compendium of my thought processes. Unfortunately that notebook was lost during a train ride from Naples (the Academy is located in Pozzuoli, close to Naples) to my hometown. 

I am not ashamed to say that it was pretty ... dark. No, not dark in the sense of sad or depressing ... dark in the sense of heavy metal dark-like. And I read a lot of books related to black magic. No, not the stupid crap you find everywhere today. I am referring to works like "Il Grimorio di Papa Onorio", "La Chiave di Re Salomone" and derivates.
Interesting reading.
I have always been interested in Celtic and Etruscan civilization myths, Incas, Aztec and Maya related stories ... you get the drift.They were interesting readings as any similar mystery shrouded in history and the Mists of Avalon  <-- see what I did there? ...  Mists of Avalon ... admitted, that was a good way to loop back to Celtic myths.

Now I lost my train of thought and why I started this entry in the blog today. Talking about random thoughts :-)
