Your Friendly Neighborhood Punk-@$$ Band Manager

The darkness is your friend. It beckons you. Come inside. Sleep. Sleep, my pretties. Muhahhahaha! So

About Me


My friend Terry painted this one, I call it "Skelady"
Bat-people sex - true freakiness revealed. Hell yeah!!!
I am your guilty conscience in the morning, your dirty little secret at night, a candle in your window when it storms, the drug that keeps you sane. I'm a lover, a fighter, a contradiction always, an addiction you can't refuse, a mother's nightmare and the tug of war that lives inside your heart. Right now, I'm managing for local Orlando band "Blood on the Dance Floor. I also sell used furniture and other home goods. Message me if you need anything for your house!!! Soon, I want to work on getting my book published, "Embers of Angels". After that, maybe another book of all my poetry. Yesterday I was in love with tofu and Marilyn Manson; last week I was reflecting on the existence of the paranormal vs religion and humanity. I do believe, yet I'm also torn. Tomorrow I will spend thinking about where today went. Not sure where I am headed after that, where ever the wind takes me! You could call me an artist and a dreamer, or even a human paradox at best - but I hate labels. So I am just me. The one you will never forget.

Artwork by Paul Stanley - I saw the exhibit last June at Mall of Millenia, Wentworth Gallery. Paul really is as good-looking in person and he actually looks very good for his age, not fake-looking like he's had a bunch of plastic surgery! His shirt sleeve brushed up against my arm that day!!!

Movies:


Halloween I and II are core every October. I like movies about hauntings, posessions, zombies, serial killers. I'm fickle about my movies. There are alot of generic ones out there! The classics like the Exorcist and Amityville are the ones I love. I also like thrill movies like "Angel Heart","The Butterfly Effect" and "The Salton Sea" - all three of those thanks to my friend for introducing me.
Halloween I & II
The original "Night of The Living Dead" by George Romero
Spiderman trilogy
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
The Titanic; the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"*The Exorcist: The Director's Cut*Friday*the Notebook*The Breakfast Club*Ferris Bueller's Day off*Chainsaw Massacre: A new Beginning*Bram Stoker's Dracula*original Amityville Horror*The Lost Boys*Fast Times At Ridgemont High*Friday the 13th I and II*Romeo and Juliet (w/Leo Dicaprio)*Happy Gilmour*Angel Heart*Unfaithful*Edward Scissorhands* original Night of the Living Dead by George Romero*30 Days of Night*28 Days Later*Peggy Sue Got Married (I know what you're thinking...wtf, right??

Television:



TV is retarded! Who gives a shit! Life's too short. If I do watch it, it's either b/c my internet is fukt, my cell's out of juice or the Gene Simmons show is on. He's totally a loveable little bastard!! ;^)

Books:



Besides mine? haha! William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist". There was also a book I read in Jr. Hi called "Walk Through Cold Fire" by....somebody, don't remember. I loaned it out and it never was returned and now it's out of print. It was what I was living at the time. Funny how life imitates art. Or vice-versa.

Heroes:


Gene Simmons. I just bought all three "Kissology" DVDs and Gene's vision, talent and business skills are impeccable. I believe had Kiss NEVER had a manager, including Bill AuCoin, they still would have done just as well with Gene leading the group. His ability to continuously raise the band to a higher plateau with every passing decade is without a doubt, genious. Also my grandma and my aunt who aren't here with me anymore. My aunt pretty much raised me, I think about her almost every day. It is her presence that I miss most at holidays - not food, not expensive gifts. Some souls are simply irreplaceable in our hearts and will live on forever in our memory - a permanent polaroid that we pull out of the archives and reflect on to help us get through this thing called life, which I prefer to call "my so-called existence".
I am a make-up artist I worked for six years with Clinique I LOVE haute couture, punk and glam make-up it is an art form and... a form of self expression and extreme beauty they say the eyes are the windows of our souls what better way to showcase our souls than to dress them up with beautiful makeup?
