When inquiring about the meaning behind the 70s-rock-meets-space-age band name 'OFM', the anonymous member that I contacted succinctly replied that it stands for "Oui Fromage Moi". Quite literally, this translates to "Yes, Cheese Me." It was then that I realized that OFM is both the question and the answer.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

I thought of you all the other day. I was cleaning the hostel under the radiators and found a broken Christmas bulb... and I remembered how I was amazed that some of you were upside down on the couch, under the tree, and no bulbs fell... maybe one did... or maybe it happened at another time. I don't know, but I'm still amazed:-)
hi my name is tim. how are you? shmoooooooooooooovy groooooooooooooooooooooooooooovy ! saw kennels over the 4th... got the cd of the 4 jams... nice love ya kid!.. peace
To the dearest Gavin Elder, OR To whom it may concern, in any way shape or form, or possibly in ways shapes or forms in which are not designated by conventional means: I have no concrete proof of God, in the conventional, biblical sense. I do feel him though. He's not necessarily in a book of rules designated as "the Bible" or any other scripture. I DO want you to know, however, that even if a conventional, widely known and or assumed God does not exist, that there is a presence watching over us. There is a guiding hand taking care of us, and who does have interest in our ways and means. I've seen him (or her, or even it, if you prefer) many times. Loving, caring, keeping watch and or guard over us. I saw his presence again tonight, in you Gavin, mirroring your disbelief in yourself as I do so often disbelieve in myself. I want you to know Gavin (and all the other members of OFM) That your guys are awesome. Don't do as I have done and discredit your worth just because you feel you're not good enough. You guys are awesome. I want you to continue to produce, to expand and grow. Don't stop because you don't feel you aren't good enough. Don't skimp because you feel that what you contribute does not measure up to the best of the best. You can, nay, you HAVE achieved, and you can continue to do so as long as you believe. I leave you this message not as self help only for you, but for me as well, because I saw you (or at least Gavin, tonight) in my position. To see a man that I both love (in the most platonic sense) and respect fighting himself in doubts over his own work as I do is bizarrely comforting. I thank you, Gavin, and God, for showing me that I should believe in myself, for if someone as talented as you has doubts as I do, It certainly gives weight to the notion that my doubts in myself are unfounded. Guys: Live, grow, continue to produce great music. You deserve as much. Shitty myspace cuts me off here, Sorry.
