Yes, I do all my styling for photos and performances. How do I do my hair? Well, I can tell you that it took one long afternoon and a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and hairspray.
Who I'd like to meet: This ant:
Chances are, if you actually read my profile and we have stuff in common, I'd probably like to meet you. If you just looked at my pics and thought, "that's a nice ass!" I probably don't want to meet you... but you can be my MySpace friend. : )
In general, being polite will go a long way with me. Please ask before you use my photos or other stuff.... when in doubt, just ask please! (You might find out that I'm pretty nice)! But a word of caution: you really don't want to get on my bad side.
Happy Holidays to you. Be well. I've read that the holidays can be very depressing to some. If you know someone like that, share this with them :)
1 of the most effective "natural cures" ever documented (really) 4 depression...

Look at you...standing there...strong...powerful...nothing is impossible for you...no limitations...you are the earth...you are the sky...and they are you...now, laugh...bigger...one of those gut bursting, side hurting, deep belly laughs...that's it. :)

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."

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world That all can learn to see Within this world exists for us Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness And cannot find their way Because they choose to believe the lies They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours, If you open your mind Discover what you do not know And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light We can all live in harmony, If we increase our sight, Open your heart open your mind, And see your path anew The greatest joy in life will come From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations Take time and you will grow To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure Come know yourself, The universe, And So Much, So Much More...
Here is the link to the author's Myspace page, please visit him and tell him you appreciate this awesome poem!
GLAD TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING DAY. STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE TODAY, YOU'LL FEEL AMAZING AND REAP GREAT BLESSINGS!
