The written works of Hunter S Thompson, Gonzo Journalists and all the other freaky and wild stuff out there in the known universe.
Music

I LOVE ANYTHING THAT GIVES OTHERS AN ESCAPE FOR A COUPLE HOURS!!!
If the movie pulls me in and keeps me wanting to know what happens next, well then it's some kind of Majic.

It is an EVIL I am forced to work in, but Public Broadcasting stateside and C.B.C. up here in the north.
But, I do like a couple shows now...
Weeds
Paranormal State
The Simpsons
Creepy Canada
A Haunting
Pimp my Ride
Family Jewels (THE KIDS MAKE THE SHOW Mr. Simmons...lol)

About me: Everything passes away - suffering, pain, blood, hunger, pestilence.
The sword will pass away too, but the stars will still remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the earth.
There is no man who does not know that.
Why, then, will we not turn our eyes towards the stars?
Why?
Mikhail Bulgakov, The White Guard

Greetings and Salutations!
I am a GONZO Journalist up here in Kanada.
I am a writer, singer, actress and artist.
I figure that life is too short to waste on boring stories so when I die and am forced to see the film of my life I want it to be R-rated.
Trying to grab life by the short and curlies and french kiss it for all it is worth.
Uhmm yeah thats pretty much it.
This is me trying to sing on a rainy day...Click on below
Another rainy day memory...

THE REAL DEAL HERE FOLKS THE ONE THE ONLY MISS JANIS JOPLIN

Who I'd like to meet: Others of my kind. I know you are out there because I hear you howling still. But if I was to say I would say interesting people who love Music and Freedom.
"...if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
--Atticus Finch, in To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
I'd have a happier 420 Day if I lived without fear of being hauled off to the pokey by men with badges and guns. The prisons are over-crowded, but they always find more room for people who want to partake of nature's goodness. Maybe someday, here in the Land of the Free, they will leave us alone and go after real criminals. One can only hope.
And I hope that you are doing well up there in the Great White North!
Hey I really liked the blues show - you were great! That was interesting about Ellen McIlwaine... didn't really know anything about her, except she's from my part of the woods... anyway, liked the mix of old and new stuff... really, really awesome...
Q: When is an Irish Potato not an Irish Potato?
A. When it’s a French fry!
Q: Why would you never iron a four-leaf clover?
A: Because you shouldn’t press your luck!
Q: Why can’t you borrow money from a leprechaun?
A: Because they’re always a little short
Just finished a triple cheese with garlic sauce... there will be no vampires within a mile of here... and I'm trying not to set the house on fire with my dragon breath... there ARE drawbacks!
