• Movies:
Heavy Metal is my all time favorite movie. "The climax of our love eclipses the moon bringing great peace to my restless body and could bring peace to this land." All the Kevin Smith movies RULE!!! All of them, especially Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back & Clerks. The closest thing I have to a thing called religion is based on the force. Thank you George Lucas for Star Wars the Empire Strikes back. "I love you" " I know you do" " Luke, I am you father" "NO your not my father. Obi wan said you killed my father."" Luke search your feelings, join me and together you and I shall rule the universe." "No, no , noooo!!!" Frank Miller's Sin City is dope. After seeing this movie I went and bought the entire graphic novel collection. They are some of the darkest stories ever. She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree. I let her hear my footsteps. She only goes stiff for a moment. "Care for a smoke?" "Sure, I'll take one. Are you as bored by that crowd in there as I am?" "I didn't come here for the party. I came here for you. I've watched you for days. Your everything a man could ever want. It's not just your face, your figure or your voice. It's your eyes, all the things I see in your eyes." "What is it that you see in my eyes?" "I see a crazy calm. Your sick of running. Your ready to face what you have to face, but you don't want to face it alone." "No, I don't want to face it alone." The wind rises electric. She's soft and warm and almost weightless. Her perfume is a sweet promise that almost brings tears to my eyes. I tell her that everything will be alright. I'll save her from whatever she's running from. I tell her, I love her. The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Music is part of everything and was present at creation. I'm working on some covers and always working on improvising, original jams, etc. See you at an Open Mic somewhere. It's exciting to be here online where I can find and talk to all you freaky people. What you hear, is me learning how to use Ableton Live 7 recording software and discovering strange, wonderful noises with the Line 6 Variax 600 guitar and PODxt Live effects pedal I have. Basically I yanked one out, stacked it & then edited it down for all the stuff I have up. Where's the heavy stuff you ask? Soon. Very soon. All styles of music fascinate me. Hence the bluesy and pop sounding stuff. I had a more polished version of Falling to Pieces then my motherboard broke & I lost it. It's ok, 'cause now I'm writing songs in a more organic way, working on lyrics and hope to soon be happy enough with my sound to record it. Then I'll be on to performing it. I'm doing some session work for a couple of artist's who's styles range from Alternative to Hip Hop. It's been a lot of fun a a great learning experience. If you stay right where you are and practice, practice, practice, music will come to you and you will get better. The key is practice. As with anything in life, "Your focus determines your reality." Music is life. My religion is music. May music and life forever be in constant change that we may experience, change, grow and reveal our TRUE selves. Now, from A Ghost in the Shell: "Diversionary entertainment is transitory. It just comes and goes at the viewer’s whim. Dreams are meaningful when you work toward them in the real world. If you merely live within the dreams of other people it’s no different from being dead." A few of you have asked if I accept gifts- HELL YES I DO!! I LOVE GIFTS!!(and no- you don’t have to buy me anything... but... if ya wanna. I DEFINITELY, FOR SURE, want to make it easy for you!!! HAHA-) I love presents. Here is my amazon.com wishlist. LOVE TO YOU!!! Soon it will be October 7th. ;o)
