Hi and I'm Gonna Catch Up

    Okay so I haven't been around in this blog for what probably seems like ages to some. And I bet some thought that this blog was dead and no longer something to look at. 

    First of all, I assure you, that I'm doing fine and am healthy. I did have a downward spiral of creativity and thoughts for a while and it was hard for me to write anything of good quality and discussion. Now that I'm back up and running again, I've been creating new great content for the past month or so.

    I'm back into writing scripts now after a two-year hiatus doing so. I've been writing songs and posting them on my YouTube channel. I've actually got some new bright ideas brewing for novels, short stories, and even more scripts, and things are looking up. Even in my real life apart from my creative one, things are starting to look for me and my family as we were settling on some rough times (which I'll leave it as that, since I'm not one to reveal private details of my life, especially when they concern hardships).

    So far so good, I'm hoping my ship will sail toward the sunset in a peaceful bliss, where no storms will evade my journey to a fulfilling life, which I hope will be successful and amazing and full of many grand opportunities moving forward. If there are those out there who are having a bad time, always know this, things will look up, no matter how long it will take to get there. That is the test of your patience and your ability to keep optimistic through the darkness that clouds your pathway through whatever hardship you're enduring at the moment. 

To give up, the darkness will slaughter all hopes and dreams. To never give up, the light will always prevail against the butchering knife of that slaughtering darkness.

A quote of my own that I'm not sure will make any sense to anyone but it was worth the shot to help those who needed some words to get through whatever's hindering their way in life.

    So updates in the David Lynch world. 

    We've known for a few years that David Lynch has been diagnosed with emphysema, which is caused by excessive smoking. David has always been known to be a great cigarette smoker and, since his diagnosis, he has put the cigarette smoking behind him. Sadly, the impact of his long-term habit and enjoyment gave him critical stand-backs. He can no longer be on a set to direct a film in person. He can only do so in the comforts of his own home and direct from there. He can only walk 10 minutes before he becomes weak and takes oxygen to recover. 

    Though David Lynch always seems to be a homebody in general, this is no apparent issue for him. In fact, he has always thrived through limitations, especially when it comes to limited budget with his iconic and spectacular films.  

    The 78-year-old cinematic genius has released an album with his long-time collaborator and muse, Chrystabell called Cellophane Memories earlier this month. An album that's quite interesting compared to his other interesting work in music. Almost as if it were guiding us into a very different dimension of music... farther than David has ever gotten with his music. Even Chrystabell's voice seems so out of this dimension.

    Since this blog wasn't created at the time of Chrystabell's re-emergence on social media after over a year of absence, it is nice to point out that this was the time when she was off working with David on a mysterious project everyone was bustling about. Especially with the rumors of Wisteria going about the internet. A project which David has been planning to surface with no luck (and we can not forget Netflix turning the cheek to his Snootworld animation and Unrecorded Night). 

    It was either in June or July of this year (forgive me for my poor memory on this since I've been frazzled for a while with my own world) when Chrystabell, David Lynch, and Sacred Bones announced the release of the album. And upon its release, a very intriguing intro the whole album on David Lynch Theater's YouTube channel along with a Q&A with the man himself and the woman herself as well. A truthfully enlightening day to chill with such icons to our hearts.

    There were other disheartening news with Steven and Gersten's tree breaking down, and the demolishment of Hap's Diner (fortunately, the counter has been saved and preserved by Twin Peaks fans). Despite all of this, we're happy to still have what we have to keep the spirit of Twin Peaks and David Lynch alive. 

    The most saddening news that hit Twin Peaks fans hard was the passing of Katie Edgin, the wife of Matthew Edgin. The community really really bonded and felt connected with this endearing woman. She and Matt were married by Sherilyn Fenn (our beloved Audrey Horne) and from what I've heard of those around me, she was a woman beyond kindness and respect and love. Her battle against cancer was something of a challenge we'll never forget. And her passing made us mourn and become closer as a community in Twin Peaks... From Another Place. 

    Though I never met Katie, I did have a few brief back-and-forths with her in the comments sections of posts in the group. From those memorable little moments, they were big in my heart because I felt how much of a compassionate and endearing person she really was. I felt connected to all the mourning. Katie will always be the Sun to all our days, and the Moon and stars to all our nights. A light eternal.

    I think I might have filled in some of the gaps when I last posted on this blog. Ups and downs and all around. I hope everyone is doing well and we all live on in love, peace, and harmony. Thank you for checking into this blog and article. I might have another one coming up that is an observation I just discovered on my own and not sure if others have discoved it already.

    Always fun to write, and I'm happy to return with an article after so many months inactive. Thank you all so much and keep on dreaming. :)

Now Working on Another Project!!

 Hey ya'll!!

Not Twin Peaks, unfortunately (sorry to disappoint you all if that's the reason why you clicked the article), and I know how some of you readers might have read my Twin Peaks fanfic novels, Twin Peaks: Chasing A Blue Rose want to know what happens next, but I have ADHD so my attention spans vary from project to project. Not a fun thing to deal with, but I eventually return to them, so keep yourselves patient for more literary content in that area of my works.

Lately, I've become highly investing my time with prepping for a Star Wars script that will BLOW MINDS. I'm attempting to work on something that will make Disney fall of their high horses and feel ashamed of the damage they have caused the Star Wars franchise to the point of utter failure and defeat.

So far so good, what I have planned out is going to be incredible. I can't wait finally write the script and share with some fellas who will take into account and maybe make a fan film of it. I know someone who will be the most help and he makes wonderful Star Wars content on YouTube and other social platforms. I will not share his name, but I'm sure he's commonly known among Star Wars fans by the thousands or millions. So... will give updates on this journey. Very excited for this. 

I even made a group on Facebook today called Rescuing Star Wars United, which will serve the purpose of rescuing franchise from creative collapse. Here's the link for ya'll to join, and I hope we can all have a lot of fun there and make it as big as Twin Peaks... From Another Place or bigger.

Love and Peace and See You In The Trees... <3

Rescuing Star Wars United

Very Sorry for my Absence

 Heyyyyy!!

I know. Long time, no post. 

I've been very busy writing for an album I hope to release sometime in the future. I've written 8 songs so far, and it's been quite a ride. Two songs per day. I don't know know how many songs I'm going to write. Lately, it's been a passion I can't turn off. 

The album that I hope to release will be of many many influences. Influences including: TOOL, Pink Floyd, Maroon 5's debut album Songs About Jane, Phil Collins, Stone Temple Pilots, Collective Soul, the song The Downtown Lights by the Blue Nile, and Depeche Mode to name a few. There might be a Julee Cruise-isque influence as well, to add a hint of Lynchian vibes.

What has urged me to write an album is.... I've been touched hard by someone in particular who I thought was someone who I could count on in so many ways. They ditched me, and the friends that I shared with him, and it's not been pretty since. Songwriting about it has kept me cool for the past few days, and I've been trying to find a way to proper recover for almost two months (it's THAT bad). Though not every song is about them on the album, they each touch on a very overwhelming event that has recently went down.

My lyrics have been told to be dark, sometimes cold, and even deep to the point that the pain is so apparent can make an impression on audiences, especially if the music done experimentally with a fresh sound. I have been told by someone who is working with me on music choices, preferences, etc. that I'm advanced on my formatting, breaking the songwriting rules and somehow still making it all work. So I'm very pleased with that, and am looking forward to any further progress.

And to say more, a dear friend by the name of Sheila Victoria Anne (aka professionally Sheilava) has agreed to stand as my main vocalist. She's an amazing singer/songwriter/actress and I feel she'll understand all the feelings that I've written in my songs in a way that is somewhat compatible if we haven't shared the same experience. We've both had our downs and we've certainly have our admirations for each other. 

The album will be released on YouTube, Internet Archives, and maybe other online platforms, and later will be released in CD, vinyl, cassettes, etc. in the future after that. Will be a fun ride worth exploring and learning. 

So, forgive me if I've been MIA with this blog. I actually just recently finished watching The Return and might cook up another article either the end of this week or the next, depending on my writing habits. But I hope and wish everyone who are still checking this blog out healthy and well, and to keep on rockin'!!

Love and Peace, and always give yourself a present everyday. <3 

 

David Lynch ANNOUNCEMENT?!!

BIG NEWS!!

Wait with anticipation for David Lynch to announce something very special for all of us to see and hear. 

Hope everyone is excited about this, especially this being the first time he has posted in over a year on Twitter, now called X.  

Let's rock down the days til the 5th of June!!

Something Is Coming Along on June 5 

Updates and Thank You

     After quite a melancholic article about a week or two ago, I'm coming back with a more positive one. An update, I'd say. Not just of myself but of the Twin Peaks... From Another Place community that keeps on flourishing more and more every day.

    Now, first of all, I'm doing much better. I've made a new friend, converted them to Twin Peaks, and everything has just been very blissful. When one friend left, another one entered through the door of the darkness, anger, and sadness to try and keep me from breaking. 

    I've had great friends consoling my pain. The new friend has made up for the loss I gained from the one who betrayed me with silence, and I can't say that the weight hasn't gotten any lighter. 

    Thank you to all who have been there for me during my disconcerting week of coping, and I'll never forget the safety net, as well as the friendship, that keeps us all moving forward in life. Thank you again. You've all been a blessing in my life and always will be.

    Now for the Twin Peaks... From Another Place community. I'm just as blessed with its ongoing growth and power against negativity and toxicity that most parts of the Twin Peaks/David Lynch community consist of with an iron fist. More and more fans are joining and coming together as one big happy family in the Twin Peaks... From Another Place's Facebook group (and in Discord and Reddit) and it's just so amazing to know that the purpose of making the community 'sunny' is going into full force. 

    For those who don't know the backstory to Twin Peaks... From Another Place of how it came to be, here's the article that will intrigue you: The Dark Side to the Bright Side of the Twin Peaks/David Lynch Community  It's been quite a journey since and I'm so happy to have successfully created a space where everyone feels safe to voice their opinions and thoughts, have fun with memes, share amazing memorabilia, and even have a place to promote their projects concerning Twin Peaks or other David Lynch fandoms, as well as their own personal endeavors as well. 

    Thank you to all who have joined and those who are sharing the group with others to join and participate in the Sunny Side of the Twin Peaks/David Lynch community. It's been a blissful ride. Let's keep on rocking!!

    Love and Peace and wishing you every day to give yourself a present. :)

The one and only David Lynch

David Lynch: His Works Teach Us Something We All Feel & Experience In Our Lifetimes

    G'day fellow Peakers/Lynchians/Pie, Donut, & Coffee Lovers!!

    Today I'd like to say that Twin Peaks and all of Lynch's works revolve around one thing: 

    Happiness is only an illusion.

    As we watch every on-screen chemistry, every life issue, and every character in the Lynchian Universe, they all lead to unhappiness and frustration and horror and crimes. When we all think things will look up for whatever goes down, it never goes as we expect and we are left in awe of the darkness output that is presented. 

    I think Lynch has been telling us this inner wisdom deep down inside within each cinematic masterpiece he has accomplished in his career. That happiness doesn't exist. Though the films Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart would be highly pointed-out films with happiness and a happily ever after at the end, I would say that are the only exceptions of the Lynchian Universe gone wrong. 

    At least in Blue Velvet, we see that there is a light somewhere in the depths of darkness in terms of Dorothy Vallens and that Jeffrey Beaumont might spiral into the darkness only to swim out of it and battle it before it is too late. In Wild At Heart, we see that Sailor is given a second chance at redemption to keep his relationship with Lula, despite all that had happened in the film.

    Those who pursue to be happy only become more and more unhappy with time. They might have it all, but never feel quite satisfied. Like when we thought Cooper would have a shot of being happy with Annie, it all pivoted down when she was captured and led him to his doom in the Black Lodge. When we all assumed that Bobby and Shelly were to be the couple of The Return, we see that they are no longer together. And when we all thought Truman and Josie were to be the couple to root for, Josie's doom ends it all. Crushing it to bits.

    I could go on and on about the other films like Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive, but it's simply this: they pursue happiness or they drown in unhappiness because they've kept failing to do so.

    I've come to the conclusion that we are doomed to the pursuit of happiness, only to be pursuing more unhappiness in our lives than needed. Friends come and go, leaving you with a disappointment burdensome to your heart, and making you think, Why do I even bother when all I'm going to be is disappointed?

    People have come and gone in my life. One just did to make this conclusion and gave me the inspiration to write this article. Someone who I thought cared about me, liked me, and enjoyed my company. Even though I betrayed him over a year ago due to a private matter among others, a few months ago he gave me what I thought was a second chance at reconnection and repairing the bond. Instead, I was only given a kick in the groin for trying to do so, and being left on the side of the road, run over by his car, and abandoned on that road for the ravenous vultures and crows to peck at my carcass (so you know, that was all metaphorically written, not something that had happened personally to me in real life, just in case you were wondering, lol).

    This man, for a while, gave me happiness and we were never at all in a romantic relationship. He was supposedly a close friend to me, and last night he had let me down and became just another disappointing bump on the road. All because of his insecurity about what I was to him. I was basically wanting nothing more from him than a friendship that was nurturing and happy, but he always assumed I wanted more. I will not reveal this man's name or his face, for I will always respect his anonymity. At least that's the only good thing I can give him, for now, I feel the fool forever paying much attention to him and sharing with him things that close friends share in life. 

    He denies having made me a fool, but I know he was playing a mind game with me all the time I thought we were reconnecting. Making me feel more drowned in my guilt for the betrayal I had inflicted on him... as if it was his way of punishing me and guilt-tripping me even more by hanging around but rarely even chatting with me. Even though he gave me all the times I could hit him up, I never got anything from him except for maybe once a month for what is either 15-30 mins if I was ever lucky to have him around that long. 

    I do not know what his intentions ever were with reconnecting with me when he could've just left me alone to drown more on my own. I doubt he'll ever give any straight answer as to why except nothing else to say. As he has simply displayed.

    I can only say that I've always pursued happiness. Thinking that it was a part of life that would always shine. Instead, a dark shadowy eclipse has given me unhappiness for an unspeakable amount of time. I thought he respected me more, understood, and was willing in any way to help, but I don't even know anymore. 

    Life is short. Friends come and go. Our loved ones (family or pets) pass away. 

    Only sadness and even disappointment come with all of it. The only gifts they are meant to bring. Why pursue happiness when all that's going to happen is it gets taken away from you by force? 

    I think Lynch is very explicit about this aspect of life. It's what consists of every aspect of the darkness ever displayed. And it's not just in Lynch's works. I see it in others as well. It's just David Lynch manages to paint a bigger, brighter, and clearer picture of what the darkness is all about and how pure and unavoidable it is. And impossible to overcome as well.

    To those who are close to me in terms of friendship reading this, I know you will be highly concerned for me and my mental health. I assure you, I am fine. I've moved on fairly quickly, considerably when I had spent almost a year knowing this man, guilting for months, and only have him resurface to give me more suffering than I really needed. But now, the guilt is on him, if he even feels it. I am relieved. I have no regrets.

    Everyone feels this pain in one way or another. I'm one of you. And it has made me who I am today. I always walk and continue life with the new scars I've gained with every personal injury I received. Such thing is life.

    And Lynch, as always, has displayed it so beautifully, horrifically, and romantically like no other.

The Mushroom Cloud Was the Opening of Portals Beyond

the Atomic Bomb of Twin Peaks: The Return

Episode 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return is deemed the masterpiece episode of the latest season of our beloved TV series. Among the events that occurred was that of the atomic bomb. As we are moving toward it and soon into the mushroom cloud itself, we are soon revealed the massive impact the bomb had made on not just the world, but the Universe and its many dimensions as well. 

It is so brilliantly filmed as if we're in some sort of aircraft that we're just hoping won't break amid all the explosions within the cloud. So many colors dwelling vibrantly as if nebulas of the Universe, and the sudden shift of scenes into the Universe with the dancing stars almost like that of Cooper's falling at the beginning of the season and having the similar vibes of Eraserhead. But the explosions... the explosions give the answer to the emergence of the entities that have dwelled in the world and Universe ever since. 

Judy vomitting upon release from the Atomic Bomb in Twin Peaks: The Return

BOB birthed from Judy's vomit

It is from this atomic bomb that Judy enters the world and gives birth to another great evil from her vomit, BOB. It if wasn't for the explosive impact of the mushroom cloud itself, there wouldn't be a powerful breach for her to enter, or any other entity for that matter. Each explosion may have released one or more at a time, making the possibility that there is not just Judy, BOB, the Cowboy, the Phantom, the Twinkies, and maybe even the Mystery Man of all the Lynch-verse. Though I'm sure this is common knowledge or observation of most who have seen The Return, I can't help but feel in awe of how Lynch knew how to bring to life the atomic bomb's impact not only cinematically, but as a metaphor how the creation of bomb brought only more evil than good to the world. 

Fantastic how also the atomic bomb served as a part of the Universe by its depiction and the probability of time travel through wormholes, white and black holes, etc. It could've also made the alternative dimensions from the main dimension by shattering it into many many pieces and scattering them to whatever format and formation they resulted. Because of this, we'll never know which reality is the real reality, which makes the world and Universe an even more mysterious and intriguing place. 

A beautiful gem in the entirety of The Return. The origins of everything sinister and mysterious all explained within only a few minutes and without words for the series as a whole, thanks to the genius cinematic vision of the one and only David Lynch. 

Thank you for reading this article. Feel free to write a comment below to share your feelings and thoughts about this topic. All opinions are welcome here. :)

Ben Horne: Confederacy Over the Union?

Audrey Horne with her father, Ben Horne as he plays out the Civil War

I found it very strange that Ben Horne chose to win on the Confederacy side rather than the Union side during the Civil War in Season 2 of Twin Peaks. Many have found these scenes cringeworthy and or perhaps useless, but I think it's some hint as to who Ben Horne really is inside. Or it could've been his way of winning to secede from the Union of Corruption. Whatever it meant, it meant something rather deep, even if it wasn't created by David Lynch himself.

So, my reasoning for it being Ben Horne's soul is that the Confederacy wasn't for the abolishment of slavery, which is an evil mindset to led the way to white supremacy and the KKK. So why would he go for that side of the war during his mental breakdown? Was this his nature in general (not white supremacy, but evil and corrupt deep down inside)? Or does it have something to do with his family's heritage that he keeps close to his heart? It's just so strange that through this victory, he's back to full health again as if he had mastered something that his forebears failed to succeed.

As for the Secession from Corruption theory... perhaps after being outsmarted by Catherine Martell, he knew he needed to outsmart her in some way of mental play even if it didn't involve her one bit. The Civil War was probably a metaphor for his war against Catherine, and also Jean Renault who took over One-Eyed Jacks. After winning this mental battle, he managed to make up for his loss in reality and began taking on the mission of ascending to a better man.  

In a psychological aspect, this could be the internal battle of the self... the ego, the superego, and the ID. The ego is the organized and realistic agent that governs the superego and id. The superego is the agent of morals, knowing right from wrong. The ID is the agent of uncoordinated instinctual wants and desires. I don't know which of the three is the Confederacy, the one that won, but my guess could've been the ID. He wants and desires to win over his rivals, and through this battle of the mind, he manages to do so on his own terms and territory. 

And it would make sense with himself, Catherine Martell, and Jean Renault being the three armies fighting each other with their own purposes for their corruptive doings, and three distinct interactive parts of the mental psyche to combat each other. As to who fits which agent of the psyche... it would seem Catherine is the ego, for herself always finding a way to be a step ahead due to her strong capability of organization and realistic expectations. Jean Renault is the superego, having morals as to how things will work and play. And lastly, Ben Horne is the ID due to his wants and desires and doing what he can to get them without the control of his own superego and ego.

Catherine Martell

Jean Renault

Though Catherine isn't what controls the fate of either Ben Horne or Jean Renault, she still knows how to be supreme in her endeavors if they are against the two men who rival each other. She even outsmarts Thomas Eckhardt, who was supposedly her close rival just like the similar rivalry of that of Sherlock Holmes vs. James Moriarty. Her organized planning and brilliantly cunning mind make her the apex predator of the food chain of everyone else in Twin Peaks, while Jean Renault is the cat and Ben Horne is the mouse. With Ben being on the lowest side of the bar, it would seem he isn't as cunning and somewhat harmful as he portrays himself to be. Instead, he is the Joker in all that happens, where the joke is always on him whenever he is tricked and betrayed. And it's hard to even know whether we should pity him or not due to the reeking of his soul and the corruption of both his strengths and weaknesses. Though he does try to find ways to be a better man, this could only entail his journey to pursue a stronger ego and hopefully an even stronger superego. If he succeeds, he could be more cunning and organized as a businessman (probably even in corruption) at the same time as ascending to become a respectful human being.

It's hard to really know the exact meaning of Ben's mental breakdown. But it could mean something much more than just a filler story arc for Season 2. Though I can't say I wasn't pleased with most of the filler inside the season, I still try to find some value as to what they could possibly mean in some abstract or surreal way as if it were Lynch's creation. It is still fun to watch and wonder at some of the scenes in the season, and without Season 2, there would be no lore. But in a way, I wonder (and I bet others too)... did it really need the lore after all if they had stuck to keeping the killer anonymous? We'll never know, but for now, it's something to somewhat marvel at for some of the strangeness at work in that season. 

Thank you for reading this article. Feel free to comment below to reveal your thoughts on this plot and the possible theories concerning Ben Horne's mental breakdown.

Twin Peaks [the Original Series]: Everyone Is A Slave To Love

Long time, no articles here. I know. It's been a wild few weeks for me, and things might be looking up for my future if I keep to it. I won't get into the details, since this isn't what this article is about and is also filled with personal matters that shouldn't be exposed. I'm a private person, as few of you close to me who read this article know, so hopefully there'll be no hard feelings if I don't share any updates.

And besides, who cares about me when this is a blog specifically for all things Twin Peaks, David Lynch, and his other amazing cinematic masterpieces, whether in film, television, or art? LOL

Slave to Love by Bryan Ferry... A song I've been listening to lately and can't help but think about the original series of Twin Peaks. So many cross-over lovers in the show that give it the soap opera vibes. We have Laura Palmer with her loving/manipulating grasp on most of the men we're acquainted with: Bobby Briggs, James Hurley, Ben Horne, Leo Johnson, and possibly Dr. Jacoby. There could've been more lovers we're not aware of on Laura's part, but we all know she's the one with the most conquests than the women in the show.

We have Ed Hurley with Norma Jennings when he's still married to Nadine Hurley. And when Nadine has memory loss and her brain has reverted to that of a high school girl, Ed takes full advantage of it to get with Norma. Selfish, it does so seem, but this is love in its most powerful way of blinding one or two people to their desires. It ends abruptly when the consequences catch up with them when Nadine has her memories all restored and Ed takes her back.

James Hurley is another victim of being a slave to love as well, including Donna Hayward. James was in love with Laura, but during his time with Laura, he was falling for Donna, and Donna was feeling the same for him. In the middle of something James thought was 'perfect', he finds another love right there in front of him all that time but tries to avoid it... until Laura dies. Seems pretty quickly he went running to Donna to cope with his sorrow, and Donna fell right into it with the same feelings and desires. And when Maddie, the look-alike cousin of Laura, dies, he blames himself and tears himself away from Donna and Twin Peaks as a whole. And when he's at the Marsh residence, he's all high on the love for Evelyn Marsh, the lady of the house. How quickly he is so susceptible to love over and over again, and each time resulting in something that haunts him and also brutally affects the lives of others.

As for Donna... she's just a girl in a dark patch in her life and was susceptible to it from being exposed to Laura's dark side. She probably thought James would keep her in the light after her friend's death. It did help, quite well actually, until Maddie came into town and caused James to almost ruin his relationship with Donna by becoming romantically drawn to Maddie. It was as if a reminder of Laura that caused more harm than good. Especially after she died at the hands of the same killer as her cousin.

Shelly Johnson's weakness in love all started with her relationship with Leo Johnson. As we all know, Leo was a nice and sweet guy before he married her, and afterward, treated her abusively and had her as if she was a maid he didn't have to pay. Shelly was deceived by the nature of a man she thought she loved, which is another thing about love: it can have the power of deception. She falls for Bobby Briggs, but this too starts out like a dream-come-true, the white knight fairy tale, she thinks of him until he starts thinking highly of himself with getting a bigger job by working with Ben Horne. He becomes so self-absorbed in his desire to gain power and begins shooing Shelly to the side as if unimportant to his goals... even though he thinks he's doing all this for her and not thinking of Shelly as more important than seeking a prestigious wealthy image. 

Though Bobby Briggs is only a slave to love when it comes to Laura Palmer, he only becomes a slave to power and higher status. He doesn't qualify much for it, but he's still someone to consider for being involved with the greatest manipulator of the female spirit in the town of Twin Peaks.

We can not forget about Ben Horne. In the beginning, he's this guy we all know is bad business... and a slime-bag when it comes to young beautiful women. Laura was one of his loves and even displayed that love and fondness for her quite well. Even his daughter Audrey couldn't avoid noticing it with Laura's pictures in his office. At the end of the series, he is revealed to be the past lover of Eileen Hayward, who is no other than Donna's mother. The transformation he is willing to study and undertake to be a better self causes him to suddenly desire the woman he loved truly in the past, although she was married. Their relationship resulted in Donna's birth. A secret that was well-kept to the very end, due to Ben's desire to reveal the hardest truth by John Justice Wheeler's advice to ascend to become a better person. But instead of it doing good, it only made things worse. It ruined the relationship of the Hayward Family and might've done the same with the Horne Family. Love wouldn't seem much part of this explosion of events, but deep down inside, it is the seed that brought it all about. Without the birth of Donna, it would not have happened. Without love, Donna wouldn't have ever existed.

Audrey Horne... a girl with unrealistic desires and dreams, yet still captivates the power of love by the horns at its strongest. We'd think it would've been Laura, but really, Audrey is so naive that she is somehow the most susceptible to Love as a whole. And yet, she rises like a phoenix from the ashes after her realization that she could never capture Agent Dale Cooper's love and heart as much as she would like. After so much persistence to do so by helping him with his case, even risking her own life within the walls of One-Eyed Jacks, she ends her falling for a childhood friend John Justice Wheeler, who knew her father and worked for him and her father gave him an open opportunity to exceed in his aspirations of business. Her affair with him is cut short when John has to leave for Brazil to be the replacement for a friend who was murdered. Audrey's love still glows for him, no matter where he is and how long they'll be apart. Unlike the other women in the series, she strongly recovers hopes for the best in life and knows that love never ends when one has to leave, despite knowing when they'll return.

Special F.B.I. Agent Dale Bartholomew Cooper is probably the leading man being the slave to love. In the book My Life, My Tapes, we are revealed his conflict with the powers of love since his school years and college, way before his acquaintance with Caroline Earle, the wife of his agent partner Windom Earle. For those who haven't read the book, it's a must-read. It features all his tapes since Day 1 when he got the tape recorder as a gift from his father. Throughout the book, the loves he pursues are undeniably troublesome on Cooper's part, and we know he's a massive slave to the love he wants so much for a woman... or in fact proof of his lustful desires. When he got with a married woman, Caroline (just like James did with Evelyn Marsh), it was already doomed to the outcome that consequentially emerged. He loved her, indeed, but her death affected him so much that he refused to romantically attach himself to any woman who was attached to the cases he undertook. In his logic gained from this devastating experience, love led to death when they were too close to his profession. When he met Annie Blackburn, it was somewhat of a revelation to love to him... or lust once again. He fell too quickly for it to be love, as he did in the past before Caroline, but that could be just me. As from what was discussed in the book of his tapes, it seemed to me that Cooper was subconsciously revisiting his failures once again with Annie by falling into lust, but only this time leading him to the trap that would have him enclosed from our world for 25 years. Love or its sister Lust snared his heart, mind, and soul, and gave him nothing more than blindness to his passion to save everyone he loves and cares for.

BOB would be a slave to love as well, despite being only a merciless entity of the Black Lodge. His fondness and obsession with Laura Palmer is actually something to marvel at... at the same time being utterly shocking and terrifying. BOB doesn't know how to love, but he knows how it feels. And his love for Laura was so overpowering, that he wanted to be her... like an obsessed stalker in the movies wanting to be their attractive victim by taking their skins and wearing them. It's a sick and gross thought, truly, but Love has its extremes. We could assume that BOB had only lust for Laura's intoxicating prowess, but he had abusively loved her since she was 13 when she became a woman upon receiving her monthly cycle. This would seem strange... her essence of luring men upon puberty... her pubescent scent winning over BOB more than any human man in existence.

Call Out My Name by Charlotte Nightstar

Call Out My Name

My heart aches for you

Don't know where you've gone

I feel lost

Without your gentle touch

You're somewhere

Trapped in a darkened zone

I can feel you

Your beating heart

So cold and dark

Call out my name

Or I'll go insane

Each night kills me

Without you beside me

In the darkness

Call out my name

Dark trees shadow you

Red curtains fading in

I want you

Can't take you away

Where are we

Trapped in this darkened zone?

I need you

My agent of love

So gentle and blue

Warm your heart with my name

Warm my peace with your voice

Feel my lips on yours

If you ever loved me

Let them form your words

Make me hear your voice

Through the darkness

Calling out my name

The darkness won't stop you

Let your love open the doors

Kiss my ear

Kiss my heart

Tell me you'll be back

Call out my name

Call out my name
