I grew up in a house filled with Classical music, and Jazz. Here's a little music video I made for the Ding Dong Show, that combines these two loves.
Jazz, Classical Music, 60s Acid Rock, Blues, and New Age
I really do enjoy all forms of music, and I would never listen to just one kind all of the time.
Stan Getz & John Coltrane are my favorite Jazz musicians, but I also love the Big Band sound, Latin Jazz, and anything straight ahead;)
Of Classical Music composers, it seems that I have always loved the Russians best.
As a Hippie from San Francisco, I got to know Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, the Grateful Dead, and Carlos Santana. I will always love these people.
Movies
As a lifelong film buff with around 4000 movies in my collection, this list could easily become impossibly long. My collection contains what I consider to be the best movies made since we began making movies. So I have many Silents, old Black & White films, and great movies up to current times.
Now should I list ALL of my favorite movies (besides Forbidden Planet, Casablanca, Spartacus, Elmer Gantry, A Night at the Opera, Seven Chances, The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, A Connecticutt Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Roshoman, The Man Who Would Be King, the Harry Potter series & LOTR), or do you get the idea? hehehe
I've mentioned elsewhere that I love Science Fiction & Fantasy. In the early 1990s I began videotaping my favorite programs, editing out the commercials, and then began creating my permanent collection. At the moment the collection is approaching some 800 six hour videotapes, and contains practically every episode of practically every Science Fiction/Fantasy show that has ever aired.
It's something that I usually work on while I'm also busy in the online world. I love to multi-task, and figure that if you are going to be fanatical about something, it's good if it is harmless. hehehe
Books
I like all kinds of books, but have always held a special love for Science Fiction & Fantasy. Some of my favorite authors are Anne McCaffrey, CJ Cherryh, Isaac Asimov, Robert A Heinlein, Philip Jose Famer, Roger Zelazny, HG Wells, Jules Verne, Alan Dean Foster, Andre Norton, Fred Saberhagen, Larry Niven, Frederik Pohl, Timothy Zahn, Poul Anderson, Orson Scott Card, L Frank Baum, JRR Tolkien, & JK Rowling.
I also love Westerns, especially Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, and Max Brand
Heroes
I think it is more important to find the Hero within yourself, than to look up to another person. In all of the history of the world, there has only been one Hero, and he has 1000 Faces. Some people I do hold in great regard are Lao Tse, King Wen & Prince Chi, Quan Yin, Lord Khrisna, Lord Buddha, Avolokitesvara, Green Tara, Lady Isis, & her son Horus, Thoth the Atlantean, Freyr, Jesus the Christ, Manly P Hall, & Gandi.
When you find the Hero within yourself, you will be able to see the Hero within other people. Let us all be brave, and face the world with Courage!

Significance New Month beginning in the Gaian Dragon I Ching Calendar : Deliverance! Posted at 4:36 PM Nov 20 view more
I began studying Eastern Mysticism, and practicing Western Metaphysics when I was 16 in 1967. Since I lived in Santa Clara at the time, it was easy for me to get up to San Francisco, and so I was there for the Summer of Love. I began studying the I Ching in 1968, discovering the practical side of Taoist Philosophy. In 1970 I went to college in Boston, where I met Karmu, the Holy One. He was a Healer, and a Rootman, and he taught me Massage, and how to love people, which is perhaps the most important thing anybody can know. In 1973 I began studying the Hwa Yu Tai Chi Kung Fu under GrandMaster John Chung Li, a practice that seems to have made me stronger & more agile as the years go by. After a lifetime of study and practice, I am putting up my accumulated knowledge and experience on my website, the Dragon's Den. You'll also find other things of interest there... such as my Moving Mandalas. Enjoy!
I would like you to meet the Divine within yourself.
I would like you to get to know the Earth. It is a sentient being. We get to live here, only because She allows it. If we continue to exploit and destroy the resources of this planet, she just might change her mind about us being here...
Do you really want that?
Listen to the whisperings of the Trees. Pay attention to the Song of Life arising from the All.
The True Gospel will never be found within the pages of any book, but it can readily be seen within the Hearts of all who love the Divine.
We are not saved by seeking God. Let go, and let yourself be found by All that loves you!
You deserve nothing less.
Be the Blessing that all most desire in their inmost Hearts.
Urban deer massacre ("culling"), combined with unadulterated fun-killing (bow-hunting), is a national disgrace. Through my last 6 Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions (CARE-1 - CARE-6, 2003-2008, each covering 25-42 states over 3-7 months), I have worked with activists in no less than 25 states whose by-and-large pro-culling and pro-hunting officials discharge their "deer management" duties by means of bullets and arrows.
The current hottest battle in the "Deer War" is at the Shawnee Mission Park, Kansas City, which local activists have dubbed "Death Park". There were supposedly some 575 deer living in the 3.7 sq.mi. urban park. Local officials estimate the maximum deer population density to be 50 per sq.mi., which produces the maximum allowable total number of 185 in the park. Up to December 9, 313 deer had been culled by "Dr. Death" Anthony DeNicola. This yields a remaining population of about 260, about 75 higher than the limit of 185, and 75 is about what the Park Board has allocated to the bow-hunters, 15 of whom have been granted permits to do the dirty deed, with pleasure of course...

THE MIRACLE WORKER: for those who feel meaningless, powerless and worthless
Legend has it that in the Snows of Kilimanjaro, the carcass of a plains leopard was found; no one knows what the leopard was up there to seek. But when I ascended the great mountain, I knew, for I was there to seek the very same thing.
At pain of extra weight, I packed a gun, not that there anything to hunt up on that altitude, nor was I a hunter in any sense of the word. And in an ice cave amidst the cravasses of the glacier, when the setting sun suffused my chosen tomb with a rosey glow, I shed my last tear on the shoulder of no one who cared, said my final farewell to the cruel and meaningless world, and pointed the gun at my head...
Recently, the Northern Territory government announced plans to kill 3000 camels by means of aerial shooting in the township of Docker River. Thirsty and in search of water, the camels converged on the community of Docker River. Instead of assisting the community by building barriers to keep the camels out of the township and investing in long term solutions such as research into birth control or the construction of a manmade waterhole for the camels to drink from, the government are planning to herd the animals away from the town, shoot them and leave their bodies to rot. Despite the outrage of thousands of concerned people from around the world, the Northern Territory government has given the green light for the cull to go ahead and thousands of scared camels are now being annihilated by marksmen from helicopters.
Anthony Marr will lead a FUNERAL MOTORCADE FOR THE DEER in Kansas City on Dec. 9, Wednesday, at the Shawnee Mission Park - "Death Park" - where 313 deer have been slaughtered in November, and another 70-90 are slated to be killed by bow-hunters as of Dec. 9.
Bear in mind that the non-lethal wounding rate by arrow is close to 50%, meaning: to kill 90, they have to shoot 180. And this is in spite of the Immuno-Contraceptive (IC) technology for deer having already been approved for field implementation by both the FDA and the EPA, plus Anthony's own humane, effective and economical IC-delivery invention known as the Auto Deer Assembler (DAA).
Jason Miller, on left in the following video (Part 1 of 7), one of the hot activists and revolutionary thinkers of our time (www.ThomasPaynesCorner.org), will be the organizer and host of the event.
“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”
