In 1995 I bought Grace, and now I have a Jeff Buckley website, The Soul Charmer. I made it 6 years ago, and it really has blossomed into something I am so proud of! I have met so many Jeff Buckley fans from all over the world because of it, and have made some wonderful friends. I never thought the music he made that touched me so deeply would make such a lasting impact in my life and heart. I also own A Jeff Buckley Board,which I opened with Carole. I make a new design most every month! It is the largest, and most wonderfully maintained message board on the net devoted to him. Its been something I can release my passion into :) He means the world to me, his music means the world to me and I enjoy keeping his spirit and memory alive, spreading the word and meeting people from all over the world who love his music and admire him like I do. We cant explain why he touched us. Not everyone "gets" him. We are lucky to know about his voice, his sound, his life. If you love Jeff Buckley. If you have no other friends who care for him like you do. Or if you have never even heard of Jeff Buckley or his music. I'd love to share the story with you and to also meet new friends who share this common interest...Jeff !! I didnt know anyone else who even knew who he was for many years after I bought Grace. He somehow captured me from the moment I heard Last Goodbye. I now know he did that to alot of people, I am not alone, I finally have others to cry, laugh, sing and think Jeff with--even if it is through a computer. I wish nothing more than to have Jeff back on this earth-to be singing the songs that made him happy. Laughing with his friends,kissing his love. I know my life has never been the same because of him. The way to keep his memory thriving is to never forget his music, or him.Feel free to e-mail me and maybe we both will gain something because Jeff lived~His life and music will never be in vain if we share, love and always remember this talented,gifted,amazing sweet guy!
SIGH
The boy starts singing. It is his album, "Grace."
As each song unravels, it fills you with
a desperation that sucks at the heart,
and puts sparks in the eyes.
It moves through the blood and makes the veins glow.
It crackles across the skin and leaves scorch marks.
Imagine if you could actually sing the sound of all hope leaving.
Imagine if you knew the syllables of falling in love.
If you had fingers that could coax a guitar
to sound like the sun in your lover's eyes,
the smell of hot skin, the taste of their throat.

Help the Seals
I went to my friend Christa's space today, and saw a pic of a cute little seal. Then I went to Craigslist, and saw a link to the United States Humane Society, and saw this disturbing video. Naturally this was nothing new..its not a new phenomenon, but it's time it ended. I read this too-
"Seal hunting is an off-season activity conducted by fishers from Canada's East Coast. They earn a small fraction of their incomes from sealingprimarily from the sale of seal pelts to European fashion markets. But the vast majority of the sealers' incomes are from commercial fisheries. Canadian seafood exports to the United States contribute $3 billion annually to the Canadian economydwarfing the few million dollars provided by the seal hunt. The connection between the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt in Canada gives consumers all over the world the power to end this cruel and brutal slaughter. Click here to learn more.
"
Also 350,000 of these animals are killed a season. Usually they are shot, but pelts with bullet holes are less valuable, so if it takes more than one shot, they are most often just left to die,like they are damaged goods. How pathetic!! Here are a couple more links, Protect Seals,
Boycott Canadian Seafood.

Don't fuck with Grace
To me it is perfect..Mojo Pin starts, Dream Brother ends.. its how Jeff made it, he died thinking it was how he made it..dont let them make more of these...
Jeff didnt want Forget Her on Grace, to be released or even rerecorded !!!! Why on god's green earth they decided to add it as the 11th track 10 YEARS LATER, is beyond me. if I was Mary I would have done whatever i could have to not let this happen. ok so forget her was leaked, and released..he didn't want it, but it is. But they should at least leave Grace as he wanted it!!
someone made this petition, please go here and lets let them know how wrong it is. Leave Grace Alone
Murder
It says it all doesn't it? It is so senseless, and hurts so many people's lives. I watch Forensic Files, and America's Most Wanted etc..and am always blown away by the countless deaths that occur each day, each second in the world. From robberies gone bad, to home invasions. Child murderer/rapists. Its bad enough they cant control their needs they have to kill the poor innocent victims and leave their families devastated forever. Wouldn't it have been easier to let them go, now chances are they are in prison forver, and would have been had they killed or not! What about spouses who kill their spouses INSTEAD of divorce?? Peterson is a good example, or Susan Smith. I would rather tell my family I got a divorce then tell them I killed my husband! Its a shame so many people have no regard for life.
My Raves
Zelda-Twilight Princess
I couldn't wait for the newest Zelda, it is out now! The Wind Waker was amazing, but this goes back to the old school feel, and link is an older boy. The graphics are amazing!!
Steve-O
I was looking for tattoo stuff and found this interview. I have to admit as a girl I do find him attractive,cute. So I really liked reading about who he is since you really cant tell 100% on Bam or Wild Boys. He has cool tatts, and interesting stories behind them. His huge self portrait is very funny-you cant get away from him..LOL. I always thougt it was curly from the 3 stooges,never saw it close..LOL..anyway its a cool read. Steve-O Interview
Fisher Price
I have always loved Fisher Price, since I can remember. This is one of the toys I have replaced numerous times in my life. I can't seem to live without him!! I am a collector of Fisher Price Little People as well.
Comedy
I just rented this...he is so funny...yeah controversial, but I love his style of comedy.. " I want some Grape Drink!!" LMAO
Jack Black
Frickin HIL-AR-IOUS. I crack up every time I see his movies, or watch an interview, and Tenacious D...pure genius.His delivery is impeccable. Such a creative, and funny guy.
____________
Will Ferrell
He cracks me up too (see my television section). His Bush impression, the 'lovers',Harry Cary..so many. He was so funny on SNL. I have loved all that I have seen him in, I haven't seen it all, but he is funny no matter what it is!!

Daddy's Girl
When I saw this picture I was drawn to it. I cant say why. It's dirty,scary, amazing. It has fluidity and such detail I was blown away. I found it via myspace somewhere. The artists name is Michael Hussar. His work is dark,whimsical,scary, and very very unique. Some call it gross, others beautiful. Here is his space.
He requested my friendship, and after seeing his art I was like heck yeah! LOL. His drawings are amazing. Go check out his pics,HERE. The Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams and Fiona Apple are especially amazing!!
I recently discovered him when Chris Garver did this as a tattoo on Miami Ink. I went to look up more and he is so very talented!! he also does more "light" art like this for example from Red Hot Chili Peppers album.
..and other whimsical things like this..
"I believe in letting imagination thrive in my art. I am not afraid of nostalgia or sentiment. I value taking the time to make a painting 'beautiful.' I want to breath life into my paintings." Mark Ryden. check him out!! ____________
Vargas
I guess you could say i like realism in my art. The detail, and the beauty of how someone sees things in a real light. Its like seeing a photo from their mind!
Norman Rockwell
Classic Americana. Beautiful. His passion is so clear, his talent so strong. He is one of our histories greatest story tellers through his art.
Movies
"Bitch, you don't have a future."
I watch them whenever they are on tv, 1 and 2 that is. Love it. So fucking kick ass.
Gary Oldman
Amazing! When I saw Sid and Nancy in 87, I was blown away and have admired his diversity and his role choices ever since...perfect
Gene Kelly
Dancer,Actor,Singer..I remember very early adoring Gene Kelly. My father took me to see movies like An American in Paris, Singing in the Rain. His dance,smile and charm personify for me a musical genre that is no more. I think he might have something to do with the type of men I adore looking at..lol..I do have a "type" LOL
Shirley MacLaine
Sassy,smart,funny,beautiful, when I was little her movies made me smile, the Geisha is one of my favorites, and The Apartment of course ! She is so classy to me, a legend.
Marlon Brando
Streetcar Named Desire. One of my favorites. I remember bringing the book to my drama class, and my teacher decided to show everyone the movie, it really went over everyone's head, as I knew it would lol. I loved it. and I have loved Brando since I can remember, that role is what made me love his talent, such raw talent. He died on my birthday :(
Robert Deniro
Taxi Driver,Godfather,Casino,Deer Hunter, come on...he's a walking masterpiece! One of my faves.
Sidney Poitier
What a class act! Did you know he taught himself to read from a newspaper? That he taught himself to drive by trial and error while working as a valet? He didnt even see electricity til he was a young lad. He really came from nothing and made himself a man of integrity, talent, intellegence, and Grace. Truly amazing.

Adam Ant Forever
He made more than just albums in HIS
life,he has made a big difference in MY life!
I walked by Fabian Venegas in 1983, he was wearing a t-shirt with a guy I hadn't seen before.
Being 12, I didn't have a musical awareness
for any certain genre,and I asked him--who is that?, he said the words that would change my life,and the way I listened to music for the rest of my life--ADAM ANT. He was my first crush. The first guy to give me tingles.The first guy to make me cry and to sing with passion. His music and him mean so much to me still, 24 years later.He will always be in my heart and soul.
My first concert was in 1984--Adam Ant -The Strip Tour.
It is still the most memorable concert of my life. I screamed I cried and I was amazed. He sang Navel to Neck-"give me your mouth" and I screamed "I wanna kiss you"...he smiled, looked at Marco & with that devilishly sexy grin-- said "I wanna kiss you".I know he heard me!
It wouldn't be the first time I would cross his path!
It was very intense and I knew it was more than just a "faze"--he gave me individuality-he game me ME, in a way!
I have since met him twice. I have kissed his lips,and been
able to tell him what he has done for me. I will never ever forget what he has done for me,and I will always listen to his music, and go to see him in concert as long as I am alive!! Love to you STUART LESLIE GODDARD !
I am a webmaster for a site dedicated to the memory of Jeff Buckley. I love to spread the word about the amazing music he left for us. I also hope to one day pursue web design.
Dawn Yeah, I kinda miss trance radio, and? there were highlights that just shouldnt be forgotten!! view more
It's so cool that you
could be anywhere in the world at this exact moment
and you are here at my lil ol space!! *tears up* lol
Who is Dawn? I am a new waver in my soul, let's be
clear. I lived through the 80's and I can say that
time of my life shaped o lot of who I am and what I
like. Music is huge in my life. I am super passionate.
I believe in love. I like thinking about and
working on goals.I admit it, I enjoy watching t.v.
I was a latch key kid and t.v. was a part of my life
as a child, and I guess still is.I like camping,going
to the beach, or park. BBQ-ing. People watching.
Hanging with my friends. People in general I guess.
Sex and self pleasure are pretty great things too, if you know what I am sayin. I don't mind having 'me' time. Going to the Zoo. Working out/walking. I like multiples of things, collections of things, sets and the like, it makes
me happy to see them lined up. I love to go to record swaps, or flea markets. I paint my nails and toes regularly, not at a salon. I LOVE magazines.
Talking on the phone. Spending time with my kids.
The smell of wet cement. Warm sunny days.
Night time at an amusement park.Being home is fine
with me too. Obviously I like the internet.
Making friends like you...awwwww.
What do I want to be? A personal trainer.I am going to get my certification before my next birthday! I have also thought about being a web/graphic designer, I like making
animations ( I made all the ones here), or web graphics,a make up artist, I have thought about reading books for the blind,or doing voice over work perhaps. When my baby is
older I will have time to pursue something that
makes me happy (I hope)!
I love to laugh.
I can be serious and funny. I am a good, honest
and loyal friend. I don't care for flakes/mean
spirited people. I try to do unto others as
I would want done unto me.Forever the Cancer
Optimist :)Everything happens for a reason ,
I believe that!
Who I'd like to meet:
Nice cool people!! ______________

Hello,
My name is Emily Walker. I am inviting you to participate in a very special project. I am embarking on an artistic journey (so to speak) through the words, photos or artwork from myself and people around the world. I would like to find out the varying views of what love is from people who live all over the world.
My goal of this journey is to show society in general that no matter how many differences we have whether they be religious,
political, cultural, lifestyle or the many other reasons that separate us we all have shared one emotion in one form or another~
Love.
I would also like to raise funds for children’s charity. For further information about the charity please contact me personally via e-mail~ sweet_emmee@yahoo.com
Please join me in making a difference even if it a small one. By sharing your words, artwork or photos of what represents love to you. If you choose to not participate
Please give the book to a family member, friend or a random stranger to keep the love going.
Hey girl just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy new year and all that crap (lol). Dont see you in forums much any more, hope you're doing well. Did you get to take your test yet?
