"If the doors of perception were cleansed,
everything would appear as it is,
infinite."
William Blake
A sanctuary is a place of refuge and protection, a safe haven. This is for everyone out there seeking shelter from the outside world. No one is discriminated against here. All are looked upon as equals in every way. This is a sanctum where people can ease their tired and restless minds, find some peace and quiet, and relax. As some people I know would say, get cold chillin'. So now, just sit back and chill. Welcome....to Sully's Santuary.
Always put others before yourself.

Now a little about myself. Name's Sullivan, Dennis Joseph Sullivan. I'm the third. Some of my friends call me Sully. I'm Irish and damn proud of it. I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Kill Devil Hills to be exact. I'm a city boy though, born and raised in Jersey. Moved here ten years ago when I was seven. I love doing anything having to do with chillin' with my friends, whether it be sitting back listening to music, watching the tube or a movie, cruising the open road, or just hanging out. I'm a music, movie, and book fiend. I love music. It lets you forget about anything that's bothering you, and just chill. Music gives you mental clarity. Right now, I'm into the classic and psychedelic stuff. The Doors, Pink Floyd, Santana, and Jimi Hendrix are just a few of the many. Soundtracks are great too. Instrumental and classical music are very powerful; they let make you "feel" the music. I also love movies and books. They let you expand your mind, sometimes allowing you to leave reality for a while, which is never bad at all.
Some of my thoughts on life:
Trust is a bond.
Friends and family come before anything else in life.
They will always be there for you, material things won't.
Money is money. It's just another thing to have.
No one should live and die by it.
Live every second of your life to its fullest.
You never know what could happen tomorrow.
The seven deadly sins truly are the cardinal sins. Live by them.
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Pride
Lust
Envy
Wrath
The ten commandments were written in stone for a reason also.
Tripping away
Blind to the fact that it's just another day
I walk on more
Images fade to black
Future, the past
The past, future
I have seen it all
Can I open these closed doors?
Awake I sleep
Thoughts fly as I do
I follow like no other
Alone I wait
Wait for time to come
Time that will begin and end the wait
Fading away
As the light swallows the darkness
It is dark and damp
The cold crawls up my arm and makes it numb
For that, I am grateful
It deadens the pain
Water bleeds from broken pipes
Blood from broken skin
Cold against the wall
Hot inside my hearbeat
Getting louder like the footsteps coming closer now
I try to move...I can't
I dread the thought of battle
All I can think of is running away
What am I afraid of?
Artwork. I love it. It allows to you "see" other worlds through other people's eyes. Art lets you explore the realm of fantasy and the outskirts of your own imagination. Check the pic at the end of the page. Call me immature.
Check out these links to some of the following artists' work:
Sir Justin, the wanderer
Sir Chip, the alchemist
Sir Rowan, the mercenary
Sir Levi, the cleric
Sir Chris, the bard
"Brother to brother
Yours in life and death"
I see a lot of truth in song lyrics, poetry, and book excerpts.
Much of what they say can be related to real life.
Therefore:
"Into each life, a little rain must fall."
"Memory, prophecy, and fantasy-
the past, the future and
the dreaming moment between-
are all one country,
living one immortal day.
To know that is Wisdom.
To use it is the Art."
Clive Barker
"There is light enough
For those who wish to see
And darkness enough
For those of the opposite disposition"
Blaise Pascal
"Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,
Let insipid figures of light pass by,
The mighty light of ten thousand suns,
Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
Night time, to some brief interlude,
To others the fear of solitude.
Brave Helios wake up your steeds,
Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which one is right.
And which is an illusion???"
The Moody Blues
"Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car"
"Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Too much tripping and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride
It leaves today, her name is what it means
Too much walking, shoes worn thin"
Stone Temple Pilots
"Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul"
"Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky"
"Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me"
"Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?"
Jimi Hendrix
"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my wine,
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"
"No reason to get excited,"
the thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"
Bob Dylan
"Time is on my side, yes it is"
"War, children, it's just a shot away"
"Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste"
"Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts,
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black"
"Love, sister, it's just a kiss away."
The Rolling Stones
"Once it seemed there would always be
A time for everything
Ages passed I knew at last
My life had never been
I'd been missing what time could bring"
"Jump up, look around,
Find yourself some fun,
No sense in sitting there hating everyone
No man's an island and his castle isn't home,
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown"
"I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
What I was looking for, got something on my mind"
Jethro Tull
"All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall"
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way"
"Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"
"We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone"
"Come in here dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far
You're gonna fly high
You're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try
They're gonna love you"
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
"I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb"
"Hey you!
Don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight"
Pink Floyd
"There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings sometimes
All of our thoughts are misgiven"
"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May-queen.
Yes there are two paths you can go by,
But in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on."
Led Zeppelin
"You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side"
"Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm"
"This is the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
