Just me. I write the songs, riffs, and lyrics in my head ... or they write ME! (whichever comes first). And I've got over 300 and going so you'd think someone would've $IGNED ME by now to put some major money in their pocket and give the world back some good ballads and interesting piano-pop sounds. Oh well, the best things come to those who wait. But 11 years and 2000 rejections later, I'm still waiting. Though I've been told I'm a patient man. (Wonder why THAT could be?!)
Influences
Wow. Where do I begin? Probably with all the great Piano Men: Scott Joplin, Barry Manilow, Paul McCatney, Nat King Cole, Brian McKnight, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Richard Marx, Lionel Richie, David Foster, Phil Collins, Hall & Oates, Kenny Rogers, Steve Perry, and all the great film composers who taught that "melody was much more imporant than lyric itself": Alan Silvestri, John Barry, John Williams, Christopher Young, Lee Holdridge, Jerry Goldsmith, and more recently ... Clint Eastwood. Then there are those that always were somehow able to take both melody AND lyric, and make them both equally need each other (which is always my wish with MY music): James Taylor, Carole King, Carly Simon, Lindsey Buckingham & Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, The Bee Gees, The Human League, The Eurythmics, The Ink Spots, The Fleetwoods, Mariah Carey, Steve Miller, John Mellencamp, Billy Idol, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Michael McDonald, America, Bread, Sinatra, The Smashing Pumpkins, Air Supply, and again, Hall & Oates and McCartney. And where would I be without Sheena Easton, Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton, Kim Carnes, Juice Newton, Madonna & Tina Turner (my 2 female favorites), and both of the Elvises: Presley & Costello?! And more importantly, KI55! (Their riffs are so simple -- yet complexly lyrical -- that they're brilliant! I think this alone is why they have lasted. They place MELODY above everything and they're never overly-produced!) And on a DIFFERENT 'NOTE', since as a 'writer about my generation' I get asked so many times what I personally think the most influential films on my generation WERE ... I thought I'd simply post that answer HERE: "And the TOP 12 bibles for the THRILLERBABY generation ARE!": (1)"E.T", (2)"The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane" (visit www.JodieFosterHome.com), (3)"The Outsiders", (4)"Fast Times At Ridgemont High", (5)"Stand By Me", (6)"The Goonies", (7)"The Breakfast Club", (8)"The Last American Virgin", (9)"St. Elmo's Fire", (10)"Can't Buy Me Love", (11)"Pretty In Pink" tied with "Some Kind Of Wonderful", & (12)"Over The Edge". (I also personally like any Coppola piece ... especially "Rumblefish"! ... and aside from E.T. and Star Wars, "Blade Runner" is one of the best ahead-of-its-time SciFi films ever made! -- some people still don't know Harrison Ford's character is a Replicant! It's brilliant! Also "Somewhere In Time" is a pioneering classic ... my review for this film is on www.FastRewind.com ... and anything by M. Night Shyamalan is always worth a jillion viewings.) And it's still in debate whether I love "DONNIE DARKO" ? or completely loathe it. But I had my Flintstones vitamins this morning at midnight so for today I'll say I just LIKE it. Did I also mention that I think Marshall Crenshaw is a genius?
Sounds Like
Coldplay, Elvis Costello, Five For Fighting, Jewel, Norah Jones, James Taylor, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Billy Joel, Daryl Hall & John Oates, David Foster, Paul McCartney, Timothy B. Schmit, Michael McDonald, John Denver, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Bread, Maroon 5, Neil Diamond, Madonna, Barry Manilow, Lionel Richie, Richard Marx, The Motels, Spandau Ballet, George Strait, George Benson, Sting, Bob Seger, Steve Perry, Elton John, Ben Folds Five, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Kenny Rogers, Earth Wind and Fire, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., Nielson, Frank Stallone, Usher, Eric Carmen, Supertramp, Mariah Carey, Brian McKnight, James Ingram, Michael W.

BREAKING NEWS !!!
______________________________________________________________
7-16-2009
Dear fellow ThrillerBabies,
In the wake of the recent sad news of the death of our beloved Michael Jackson, the world has not only been affected, but as one can imagine, so have we. It has been painful digesting the everyday day-to-day developments of the story, but nothing has been more painful as losing the man himself; our King of Pop.
The man who wrote the book from which the ThrillerBaby word was first coined, JOSHUA CRAWFORD, has been in mourning, along with the rest of the world, but has also felt compelled to share his obligations to the thrillerbaby generation in a more massive format … to prep the world for what is soon to come. Therefore, an OFFICIAL THRILLERBABY TWITTER page has just been launched in an effort to give up-to-date facts on Crawford’s intentions as to what to do next, given the nature that Twitter seems to be the rage right now in helping to deliver Crawford’s own agenda in a more timely manner than MySpace can currently do.
As one can imagine, Crawford, the singer-songwriter of over 500 unrecorded songs of his own, and the author of SIGNATURE PLACE, the 3-part epic-novel he wrote for his generation in the 1990s, coining the word THRILLERBABY in the process as far back as 1994, has been inundated with emails, phonecalls, and heavy sadness as both he and us, the thrillerbaby team, grieve over the loss of what will perhaps be the most popular and most influential figure of the 20th century, and our generation. So forgive us if we postponed any future updates here on myspace, but rest assure, the time has come to rejoice in the talents of not just Jackson, but what Jackson’s music was able to do for our generation; US; the THRILLERBABIES. And we now encourage with the upmost respect for each and everyone of you, to visit the OFFICIAL THRILLERBABY TWITTER PAGE at the following address.
www.Twitter.com/ThrillerBaby
Though to relieve Crawford’s burden of carrying his entire generation on the weight of his shoulders (along with the weight of his own heart in which so many of you are well aware of) which he has so often done with pride for each and everyone one of you, he has asked us to state that in order to communicate with his generation on a more massive scale as opposed to just email-to-email and person-to-person formats, he has asked us to state to you, the ThrillerBaby generation, that official postings on the ThrillerBaby TWITTER page by both him and US, will not begin until the page reaches at least 1,000 followers, as this will allow Crawford’s intentions for not only his own music and art, but more importantly, his book SIGNATURE PLACE that documents the ThrillerBaby generation in massive detail and was the first to do so, to fully disclose itself to its audiences without having to repeat such intentions on both myspace, and facebook, and other numerous social networking sites. Please take into consideration that any mention of Crawford’s goals is never official, unless it is mentioned on the www.ThrillerBaby.com website; in which the Twitter page now will be, once this email goes out to each and everyone of you at this very moment.
Signature Place, the 900-page 3-part GONE-WITH-THE-WIND-for-KIDS 1980s epic that Crawford painstakingly spent his entire 20s writing throughout the 1990s over the course of 8 years (only to find that no one in the publishing industry wanted to even publish it at the time, as they felt that it would have no target audience, just as the music-industry felt with Crawford’s music!), has, as you can imagine, suddenly received a recent new and almost overwhelming interest. And though we, and Crawford, are extremely sad that this recent high intrigue for the book and Crawford’s music has been suddenly jetfueled by Jackson’s unexpected death, we are more than happy to prepare to be capable to share this much-talked-about book on a more massive scale. Afterall, it not only pays homage to the trials and tribulations that our latchkey generation had to go through with being the 1st generation to have been raised under America’s 1st escalated divorce-rate that was caused by all our BabyBoomer parents, it also pays homage to Jackson’s influence ON our generation, and in return, on the world.
Though as mentioned, due to Jackson’s death, it has been hard to get excited about the book that eventually became THE MOST REJECTED MANUSCRIPT IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE PUBLISHING INDSUTRY once it was completed in 1999 … yet literally COINED the word THRILLERBABY for the entire generation born between 1965-1980. But as the days have progressed since his death, and as our energy levels have begun to rise again in an effort as to figure out what the proper next step for us is to take, we wanted YOU, our followers on myspace, to receive the very first invite to our Twitter page, in respect for you having added us to your friends-list so long ago. And that is all Crawford has allowed us to say for the time being, other than to say that as soon as the Twitter Page reaches the 1,000 Followers mark, Crawford’s intentions with what to do next are sure to follow. We realize that getting the Twitter-page to 1,000 FOLLOWERS is going to take some time, but we also feel responsible to not only the many Jackson fans of the world, but more importantly, to our specific ThrillerBaby generation here in America in which Crawford pre-dated by about 15 years and first coined the word in 1994 way back when he was just barely 20 years old. And we want to be able to communicate in a much more less-complex format than interacting with everybody individually. Though as of right now, we will continue to use MySpace to the best that we can, and of course, will always take emails in the order that they’re received , we realize the massiveness of this most current unexpected news of Jackson’s death, has suddenly put an overnight requirement on our part to be able to communicate in a much more simplistic format. Therefore, we, and Crawford, urge you, our loved ones here on MySpace that have hung with us over the years, to sign up for the Twitter page ASAP, and to extend the invitation with anyone whom you feel will listen! For the quicker the number of the amount of Followers reaches 1,000, the quicker we can announce our next step as to what Crawford’s intentions are; for as you can imagine, many of wondered, and we are well aware of this.
Yet, in light of Crawford being perhaps THE MOST REJECTED ARTIST OF HIS GENERATION in which he literally coined the name THRILLERBABY GENERATION for, we won’t be discouraged if you care to make everybody ELSE wonder along WITH you! The more the word gets out, the better. And THE MOST PASSED AROUND DEMO WITHIN THE MUSIC INDSUTRY is of course on iTunes for those of you who don’t know.
Just enter JOSHUA CRAWFORD and PLAY ME and he pops right up. But knowing you, you probably already knew that.
Again, this letter is being presented here exclusively not on www.ThrillerBaby.com, but here on myspace first, under Crawford’s wishes; as he is very devoted to the many Jackson fans of the world, but he is also very devoted to the many fans of his own who were the first to believe in him, his talents, and his purpose … long before both the music industry and the publishing industry ever did and perhaps ever will. And feels they need to be offered the news of the Twitter page first, before everybody else catches on, but also knows that by doing such, perhaps they will in return get the word out, and thus everything will come into play with what we, as a generation, should do next.
So again, we urge you, ask you, and acknowledge you to spread this news of the Twitter page to all who will listen, and though it may take some time, once we reach the 1,000 mark on our FOLLOWERS numbers, Crawford will then orchestrate us on what to do next.
We thank you, our www.myspace.com/ThrillerBabyGeneration friends and of course the www.myspace.com/JoshuaCrawford and www.myspace.com/SignaturePlace fans for all your support (as does Joshua Crawford), and we sympathize with each and everyone one of you on the many tears that have been shed over Jackson’s death, and concerns for the welfare of his beloved children.
We’d like to think that we are now picking up the torch were Jackson left off.
And we, along with Joshua, are more than honored to do so in an effort to share with everyone what Jackson meant to not only the world and our specific generation in which Crawford foresaw and coined the name for, but for our entire universe.
Afterall. Music is the universal language in which we can all speak.
And both Jackson and Joshua shared, and continue to share, this common gift and interest. For as you know, much of Crawford’s music was inspired by Jackson’s work, as was Crawford’s novel; SIGNATURE PLACE.
Thank you and God bless,
And here’s the web-address again of the official ThrillerBaby TWITTER page.
www.twitter.com/ThrillerBaby
We urge all of you who might be unfamiliar with Crawford, to pay a visit to www.JoshuaCrawford.com, www.SignaturePlace.com, and his beloved www.ThrillerBaby.com to get reacquainted with his work and efforts, and how we, as a generation, can truly … MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE.
PS: for those fans of our popular “THRILL OF THE MONTH” feature that first began here on our ThrillerBaby myspace page, then ended up on the official www.ThrillerBaby.com site once the site got revamped on August 8th of last year, please know that we haven’t forgotten you, and that a current THRILL OF THE MONTH has been up and running on ThrillerBaby.com ever since the news of Jackson’s death first broke.
We think you’ll be pleased with Crawford’s current selection, and in honor of Jackson’s legacy, Crawford has decided to leave it up for a while, beyond its usual 1-month run to for those that might not have had a chance to see it during its initial run. Although in the past, we had featured our Thrill Of The Month here on our ThrillerBaby MySpace page at one time, we are now only featuring the beloved THRILL OF THE MONTH on the www.ThrillerBaby.com website in an effort to detour all of you loved ones beyond just the zoo of myspace and the many other social networking sites that are certain to became zoos as well. We love all those site, just like you, and will continue to embrace them as Crawford sees fit in the days to come, but for the time being, we want to try to gather you all in one place in a more larger format than just myspace. For as you can imagine, our generation represents quite a few more people other than those that are internet friendly. People of all races, creeds, colors, cultures, and disabilities.
Please also be patient with the ThrillerBaby.com website, as due to the recent nature of world events surrounding Jackson, the site has, from time to time, experienced overloads and need for modifications. We will be working on fixing all problems within the next few months, and like each of you, our thoughts and prayers go out to those that had Michael’s welfare and best intentions at HIS best interest, not theirs.
Particularly his children, in which we know, will continued to be prayed for, along with our entire THRILLERBABY generation in which Crawford coined.
Have hope and be encouraged that the revelation of Michael’s influences are surely to come!
Here is the ThrillerBaby TWITTER page address one more time for those that care.
We urge you to feel free to pass the news around!
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

CDBABY LINK for JOSHUA CRAWFORD: Play Me
It ain't easy being me, but someone's gotta do it, and that SOMEONE knew it before I was ever born and they merely chose ME to do it in. So I now feel it's an honor to have survived all the turbulant things that I've survived in my 33 years of life. I was raised in middle-America in the now-famous UFO-Capitol of the World; Roswell, New Mexico. But had a childhood far from NORMAL-America. Middle-kids aren't always important enough to listen to, so I guess I came up with other ways of being heard, never realizing that I would still be trying to accomplish that goal after age 30 as a singer-songwriter, author, and actor. I starting playing the piano by-ear at age 3, was caught trying to break open the family TV-set at age 4 with my playschool screwdriver because even though I knew Jody and Buffy on FAMILY AFFAIR were fake, I thought Cookie-Monster and Burt and Ernie were real and I wanted to take them out of the TV so that I could play with them. I was a bit mature for my age and I was very lonely ... with only the comfort of my baby brother, the local cinema, and my Winnie The Pooh record-player to serve as my friends. At age 7, the fantasy all came together upon seeing a little movie with my parents (who would divorce a month later) called "E.T." and realizing my life's goal from there on out was to go to work for some guy named Steven Spielberg and train under him to direct movies. Age 14 almost side-tracked me a bit from that goal when 12 of the top cardioloigists in the world told me that if I didn't have a heart-transplant, I would die. (Some mysterious virus had attacked my heart, causing it to swell up to 5 times its normal size, all within a 3-week range, causing what they call CARDIOMYOPATHY, aka 'Enlarged Heart'.) So since life was so miserable for me at that age anyway ... having survived the brutal divorce of my parents at age 8, and all the alcoholism and pizza-money and mean and abusive step-parents one could ever hope for while growing up in the ever corporate-but-lonely 1980s (including a hard-to-reach single-parent-dad), I took the NON-transplant route and ended up living anyway ... due to my belief that Steven Spielberg was reason enough for me to live on a little while longer. So at age 18, I flew up to meet the guy, but he was nowhere to be found. So I met his secretary (whom I'd already developed a realationship over the phone with from writing Steven letter after letter following my near-death experience at age 14 with the enlarged heart) and I toured the man's private office to look around a little, then headed back to Texas ... where I sat down at my father's BabyGrand Yamaha piano (where I always sat to fiddle around for some old movie score that my childhood might remember well enough to play a little) ... when out popped my first song; SING ALONG. Followed by another one, CRYIN' PARTY, and then a 3rd one, "PLAY ME" and so forth. I didn't think it was any big deal since I couldn't read music, so I merely thought, "Hmmm? Maybe I'll pe a pianist and novelist in my spare time," (for I started writing a novel that dealt with kids and alcoholism at age 15), "...and be a full-time movie director as my main source of income in life with plans to graduate from the American Film Institute." Then I learned Paul McCartney couldn't read a single note either on Good Morning America one day, so I just kept writing songs and working on screenplays. I've now got 1,000 radio-friendly songs give or take ... yet no money. I live off disability for my heart and merely give many of my 3-track CDs entitled "PLAY ME" away to fans in hope that one will end up in the right place with the right person who knows how to get someone like me signed. (CD is available at www.cdBaby.com and itune.com) I recorded the CD over 15 years ago in the land of Buddy Holly (Lubbock Texas), but to my astonishment, it just now seems to be making a name for itself in certain industry circles (my last concert was a complete sell-out with on one single song played), as does my novel; SIGNATURE PLACE: a real life condominium complex that I once lived at here in Midland Texas when I moved here with my father after the divorce of my parents in the early 80s. The novel is about what life was like for my entire generation who grew up with all the ever-divorcing BabyBoomers as their parents who worked all the time ... leaving their kids home alone to not only play, but cook, clean, and raise all the OTHER neighborhood kids to the best that they could ... even when their parents stayed out all night at the nearby bull-riding bars to PLAY a little themsevles and celebrate how great they were for doubling their income that day in the ever decadent and competitive 1980s! (I'm not so sure my generation even knows what the word PLAY even MEANS? I think we mistake it for the word SURVIVE.) And I refuse to give up my destiny and the belief that my novel could help and inspire other generations, as well as educate parents on thinking twice before expecting kids to raise themselves before they've even reached puberty. My life was spared to not only be an entertainer, but to influence the world. "This much is TRUE!": (a lyric from the 1983 Spandau Ballet song I named my 1st book after; my favorite song of all time.) I'll always be a little sad Spielberg's office coudn't see merit in my efforts, as they once led me down a path of belief that I would ink a record-deal with them and their newly-fromed DreamWorks label in the late 90s ... in which didn't pan out. (They later sold the struggling label to Universal.) But oh well. Look what Ray Charles went through ... and HE couldn't even SEE! Yet he finally found someone who believed his music should be HEARD, no matter WHAT his limitations were! I've been at this game of trying to GET SIGNED for over 15 years now, so I guess ... why stop now? Columbia, Arista, J-Records, they've all passed on me after "careful consideration" several times. Go figure. I'm not sure I'd even know how to live if I wasn't reading Music Connection Magazine every chance I could get, touring anywhere and anytime with my songs and books (my concerts have never NOT been a sell-out), and contacting every A&R and soundtrack-man and woman in the biz ... as well as the entire publishing world from America to London ... and BACK! ... in an attempt to finally get SIGNATURE PLACE published and few of my 1,000 songs recorded. All just to get someone to think that maybe I have just a little more talent than all these one-hit wonders on American Idol and Lenno and Letterman. Maybe I have longevity and an entire career worth of 15 albums, 17 films, and 5 novels. Judd Nelson in 1985's "THE BREAKFAST CLUB" said it the best: "Screws fall out all the time. The world's an imperfect place." Well ... if they're falling out all the time, then SOMEBODY's gotta take their place ... right?!? If we didn't, the walls that hold up our evolution would collapse, and we'd be left without a roof over our heads ... as WELL as protection for our young; the NEXT generation. I never new my old "Play Me" 3-track demo would become notoriously known as "THE MOST PASSED AROUND DEMO IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY"! I really didn't. Nor did I ever expect the word that I invented for my novel "Signature Place' would seem into pop culture; you know the one ... the name that represents all those that were born 1965-1980; "THRILLER-BABY" ... which now of course has that much talked about website of its own; www.ThrillerBaby.com
You can read more about ThrillerBabies, Signature Place, the Play Me recordings, and even my whole life if you want, on www.JoshuaCrawford.com. I pray for the music industry. I really do. Music is our Universal lanuguage by which we communicat with other universses with. It would be a shame if I never got signed in my lifetime, but I imagine I would in the NEXT one. Though I find it hard to believe God would've given me 1,000 songs ... only to have not SHARED them with anyone while I was down here, on planet earth.
______________________________________________________________
WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET:
Couples who thought about getting a divorce and kids who thought about doing drugs or killing themselves and any disabled person that had given up on a career ... until they all read my book "SIGNATURE PLACE" and/or listened to a few of my songs. THAT would be somebody I would weep over if I met them. For THOSE are the world's true rolemodels and icons, not me. I'm just a guy who's trying to make the most out of his life ... and everyone else's. Meeting Spielberg would be a nice touch too, but I don't think I'm interesting enough to be in his presence. We're all only here for 80 years or so, and time moves faster as you get older. Make the years count. As the way you spend them plays a heavy role in the afterlife; trust me. Like NIKEY says, JUST DO IT! And before you know it, you will have climbed not just one or two mountains, but an entire universe. It's not about climbing to the top; as even the sky lies below the stars. And the stars lie below another universe. It's about what you learned and who you touched and which destiny did you alter for the better while you TRIED to climb. And for anybody who tells you, "It's all in timing kid" ... ask them which timezone their in? Earth's? Or Heaven's. 9 times out of 10, they won't even be wearing a watch. But they'll sure know how much money is in their wallet without even looking. It's not all in timing, it's about offering the planet something that no one else can offer except YOU. Earth has enough rappers. So be a Christian or Jewish rapper! The world is blessed with portraits of cactussus. So give the cactus a red ballcap and have him play catch with the stars! There's plenty of T&A music videos, so try wearing your clothes for one and you might just win an award for it! There's a billion and 1 books about divorce, so try writing one about kids who do everything they can while they're still young in order to shape themselves into NOT getting a divorce before they've even married! -- whoops, I already wrote that so write something else. The world is astronomically graced with concertos and speed-metal. Try writing a simple 3-chord love song and it might just be the song that pays the most. Just look at all the great rock bands; it's usually their love songs that get the most airplay -- which means more royalties, and more lovers falling in love and babies being born INTO love. Indeed, a world without lovers is a small world. But a world without loners is an even smaller one. BE that weird loner. And you might just find yourself not only IN line, but in line with a line forming behind YOU as well! Leaders can't be followers, yet who it is that leads the leader, is the loner/dreamer who believes in destiny.
______________________________________________________________
YES IT'S TRUE!
I tend to write parts in my books for real-life celebrities to play when the books get turned into movies, not realizing that those celebrities are near death and will contact me shortly before they die to thank me for writing the part for them that they unfortunately won't have a chance to portray in the film-version becaue they're ... well ... dying. Call it a weird gift, or an accidental phonecall to the Death Angel. Beats me? (R.I.P. Chris Reeve and Jimmy Stewart. I miss you both dearly!) Needless to say, I've taken a break from writing any more novels for a little while!
______________________________________________________________
YES, IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT...: It's on record that The Ejection Fraction of my heart at age 14 really was just 8% ... which has always been my lucky number.
______________________________________________________________
THE QUESTION I GET ASKED THE MOST:
"Are those contacts?"
The answer is a kind, "No." Only 2% of the world's population have green eyes, making it the most uncommon color, and the rarest. (Brown is most common, blue is second in command.) Why my eyes are the mint color they are is beyond me. ("Hazel" is a term used only to represent eyes that change from blue to green and back again and have traces of brown. Mine never change. Go figure! lol) ______________________________________________________________
THE "OTHER" QUESTION I GET ASKED THE MOST:
Yes, iTunes has my tracks. Just enter my name and I'm in your iPod in mintutes.
______________________________________________________________
RECENTLY, he gave the 5-year old website for his generation "ThrillerBaby.com" an entire revamped make-over to much acclaim, as well as a separate myspace page for it; www.myspace.com/thrillerbabygeneration ! Feel free, if you're a thrillerbaby (those born 1965-1980) to stop by and say hi.

Joshua, Shalom. I am thankful to God to have you as a friend & kindred spirit who inspires and encourages me always. I think of your creativity and imagination similar to the "Bridge of Terabitha" movie where we do not think, dream, believe or act like most of our generation. We seek the Hidden Treasures of Truth that include Inward, Outward and Heavenly. How was your Thanksgiving? Anything exciting happening in your area lately? My Thanksgiving was good spent it with a friend in Del Rey, FLORIDA and we had another friend of his over. 3 Single guys and we watched Will Smith's "Hancock". A very different type of SuperHero movie. Also saw "Quantum of Solace" last weekend. So how about you seen any new movies on the big screen or small screen? What are your plans for moving out to California? Will you be there possibly sometime in 2009? By the way today I got up at 3:30 am to do a fun project with my church called "Operation Black Friday". We basically had 12 of us including our Pastor Chris who handed out free waters, donuts and breakfast bars to all the people waiting in line at places like Best Buy(the longest & largest group)and Target. It was about two hours give or take and the reason for this sudden, radical and complete gift is due to www. thegiftrevolution. com In otherwords a new spin on "Pay It Forward" with Biblical Proportions & Praises. Also I wrote a MySpace Blog about it. Forgive me I am still a little tired from this morning even though it is 1:36pm. Also spoke to Ruwanga, Michael Darby and some of my other CA friends yesterday as well as my Grandma and aunt. Pray for Grandma just had heart surgery and had a pacemaker/defibrillator put into her heart. Well I fading off will talk again soon. Drop me a line and know I pray that you will not have to wait another decade for your gifts to be recognized and rewarded by Heavenly Measures!
I know, I know. I suck at keeping in touch sometimes. Ive missed your emails the past few months. But Im still here, so feel free to pick on me all you like!
Thanks Joshua for the Roswell Postcard! Will do my utmost best to get you that "Incredible Hulk" poster before the end of June. I know you will like once you receive it.
So feel free to call me soon and keep me posted on your upcoming Big Leap to California!
Hope to meet you someday and know we are forever kindred spirits and eternal friends because we were meant to meet and encourage each other to change the world into a better tomorrow with our unlimited creativity and imagination and positive attributes and attitudes!!!!!
Been missing you...looks like you're still active here and I hope everything's going well. And regardless of what or how you celebrate, have a Happy Holiday.
This specially compiled 4 CD Box Set from Time Life features the best Folk Rock songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s! Includes 71 Songs That Defined An Era and Influenced Generations... In Stores September 11
Not just another genre, folk rock was born as a statement of purpose, of taste, of superiority the baby boom¹s first imprimatur, a musical mission and a personal battle cry in a divisive time of racial tension and escalating war. For a generation of philosopher dropouts and drug-inspired visionaries, it was also the best way to partake in the era¹s hippest form of artistic expression, in numbers previously unknown to man.
