To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.” --EE Cummings

Artists, Art Lovers, Sincere People, Musicians, Vegetarians/Vegans, People who are grounded & know who they are (ie, no chameleon-esque people who are someone different to everyone they know, please no mirror-ers, be honest or nothing at all), Cat lovers and down to earth people.
Hey Kris, just wanted to thank you again for the moral support you've given me. It means more than you know. Thank you so much for being such a great person. Have a great day!
Main thing happenin' in my world is babies, hubby, band and work. In a nutshell.
All good and happy things. Oh, we are finally finishing the porch...
I keep dibs on how you are through myspace. Isn't it weird to know people you haven't seen in a long time still check up on you...lol! You really need to check out the "ArtLoveMagic" scene. They would ADORE you! They have all sort of art in all genres at their shows; live art, music, poetry, art pieces being painted and created in front of you. It's really great. Plus, Blaming Grace performs there sometimes. It is an artist collective that creates productions around town. So far they have been at The Bath House, Live at Mokah, Saxby's Coffee and several other places. it's fun. Anyway, how are you doing? Has the glow from the vacation worn off yet?
I've got a new song up, it's called "Follow me"... so if you have time
and feel like, please stop by, take a listen and let me know what you
think. Enjoy your weekend! Hei hei,
Kris, Thanks again for the nice comment. Wanted to send you a photo of our cat == Zorak El Gordo!!!! Hope all is well. Zorak will watch over you from know on. No one will mess with Zorak. Billy Bucher
Kris, Coming from you particularly that is a magnificent comment!!! That is one of the photos which I am putting into the portfolio I am putting together. I was hoping you'd be at Anthony's Party the other night, or maybe I missed you, but you may have seen the beginnings of his Tribute Album. He is one of the nicest people I know, along with you. Thanks, mi amiga, Billy Bucher

'Article for the short film "God is an Under Achiever" DJ MONKEY song /video by Dennis Schraub and Joey Alkes'
Schraub and Alkes created two edits of the short film and choosing between them would be as unwelcome a task as choosing between Coltrane’s two edits of 'Ascension'. The comparison is apt. 'God is an Underachiever' is as difficult, moving and inspiring in it’s right as the much written about late Coltrane. - Al Eaker, in Fringe Cinema 4/2009
Chili's is some good stuff too...I'm down for either there or OTB for happy hour! You can drop Callie off whenever it would be more convenient for you and her. She can have the run of my bathroom for the day and Skids will just have to deal. If it's not too much trouble bring her litter box...I may have something in the garage I can use but maybe not.
Wanna do Chili's/OTB next Monday or Tuesday or this week?
Hey my friend! I wish you a great start into the new week! When you
have time and feel like, take a listen to my new cover of Mazzy Star's
"Fade into you" and drop a comment or message to let me know if you
like it or not. ;o) Have a nice day!
so good to find you - again!! i'm in an all girl glam 80s metal band and it is SO much fun! when we have more stuff ironed out, i'd love it if you could come see us!
