I LOVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT GETS IN MY BONZ:)
What Kind of Metalhead Are You?
You are a True Metalhead. You dig the classic music and the classic lifestyle. As metalheads go, you're pretty open-minded in terms of music and lyrics; if it rocks, then you'll listen to it. Concerts are the pinnacle of the metal experience, though sometimes they get a little too crazy. You generally respect everybody else, but as far as you're concerned, they all wish they were Priest or Maiden. Take this ..!
I lovit when Penny Lane says, "you are home"....
Blow, Money Talks, Bad Boys, Almost Famous, Cruel Intentions, Dirty Dancing, Enemy of the State, The Program, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, Erin Brokovich, Working Girl, Point of No Return, The Sweetest Thing, Dumb and Dumber, Office Space, Pay It Forward
Television
that's right baby:)
UT Football,Mavericks Basketball, Dallas Stars, Tennis, Music Videos, VH1 Countdowns, the occasional Lifetime movie...anything that makes me laugh or inspires me...
I really don't watch much TV to tell truth...
Books
Cosmo, Metal Edge, In-Style, Guitar Legends, The Dirt, Bang Your Head, Feminine Force....The HARDERBEAT - fucking RIP, The Dallas Observer, LIT, and any other music publication in DFW I can get my hands on....any type of book or magazine that has to do with fashion or the music industry interests me...I haven't purchased The Secret yet, but I plan on it soon...I would like to write a book one day actually.
Heroes
My dad, Sharon Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Harris, Jeri Goldstein, Dave Williams, Erin Brokovich, Peter Grant, Joel Osteen

And...from the Meet & Greet at WIllis Music the day of the show:
The vid has over 2,000 views & 3 pages of fan comments:)
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
You chose green eyes.
You are a very fun person to be around. You appreciate all the little things in life, even if it's something like a soft pillow, or a certain tree. You can also see the good in people too, and like them for it. You have many dreams, and you want to fullfill them all before you die. You are also mysterious, and secretive, and guys/girls are attracted to you for it.

Quote of the year: "Talent does not equal draw. However, if you're the best band in the world and still can't draw then chances are good you are COMPLETELY untalented at promotion. Promotion is a skill just like sweep picking or double bass."

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,,,I know of this chick that is all into promo...maybe she could assist you???????
maybe have more time to focus on your MUSIC?
