ALL Music - sometimes I tend toward some darker styles. Some music I like: Seether, Staind, Pink Floyd, Chopin, Alan Parsons Project, Ambrosia, Bach, Eddie Money, Little River Band (Especially "Cool Change"), Bob Seger, Trisha Yearwood, Finger Eleven, Goo Goo Dolls, Evans Blue, UFO, and, yes, even the crystal crooning of Celine Dion; Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, The Eagles, Don Henely, Matraca Berg, Metallica, Mercy Me, Andrea Bocelli, Li'l Kim, Smoky Robinson, Ray Charles, Martina McBride, Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson, ... [ALL MUSIC!]
Movies
Horror - Vincent Price; Lugosi, Karloff; Spy flicks. Some of my tastes: the 'Bourne' series, The Italian Job, Entrapment, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Abyss, Hanover Street (Harrison Ford's most underrated and least touted, but AMAZINGLY excellent chick flick / spy / romance / action - RENT IT NOW!!!)
Television
Don't own one; it's a waste of time.
Books
Most books about history. Most good poetry books; some horror novels. Some of my tastes: Stephen King, Ken Follett, Robert Ludlum, Jonathan Kellerman, Octavia Butler, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, James A. Michener, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A . Heinlein... too many to mention.
Heroes
E. A. Poe. and those who protect our country - especially fellow Marines.

Gen. Lejeune's order summarized the history, mission, and tradition of the Corps. It further directed that the order be read to all Marines on 10 November of each year to honor the founding of the Marine Corps. Thereafter, 10 November became a unique day for U.S. Marines throughout the world.
Soon, some Marine commands began to not only honor the birthday, but celebrate it. In 1923 the Marine Barracks at Ft. Mifflin, Pennsylvania, staged a formal dance. The Marines at the Washington Navy Yard arranged a mock battle on the parade ground. At Quantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Marine baseball team played a Cuban team and won, 9 to 8.
The first "formal" Birthday Ball took place on Philadelphia in 1925. First class Marine Corps style, all the way! Guests included the Commandant, the Secretary of War (in 1925 the term "politically correct" didn't exist; it was Secretary of War</
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
It's November and my thoughts of thanks are for each one of my friends hang in with me, read my hen scratch, forgiving me for my brain farts and loving me for me. Bitch and all.
There were probably days this year when you wanted to:

Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be
successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….
Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who
produce all genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self
promotion…. Each poet will have the opportunity
to read their work on stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy,
and mingle with the best poets of our generation.
It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM
And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious
enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!
You seriously CAN’T miss this~you HAVE to be there! It is the chance of the lifetime, and the
bigger we make it, the more attention we poets will get.
Poetry is NOT dead~let’s show the world that it is living
and breathing~
