JD

Though my flesh perishes in time, I will reach the shore on the other side.

About Me

I've published four novels that I've written and am working toward publishing more. My third novel, Tainted, was first runner up in the best fiction novels for the state of Indiana awards so check it out:http://www.authorj-dphillips.com

My Interests

Writing, photography, music, tattoos, movies, singing, Little Apple dolls, the dead pool, love, death, playing PS2... boring normal things in strange and unnatural circumstances....

London



Helsinki



Kyoto

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that happens to want to meet me... Ville Valo - because his words inspire me (again) Oscar Wilde - because he is my all time favorite writer; may prove difficult since he's dead.... HYDE - just because his work has also inspired my own. Eddie Izzard - because he is the only man I know that makes me feel better every time I watch one of his shows. Last but not least my soul, reflected in mirror eyes - in no particular order.

Music:

HIM, HYDE, The Tea Party, Marilyn Manson, Dir en grey, some L'arc En Ceil, Janis Joplin, John 5, Iggy Pop, Rob Zombie, The Cure, Nate Mott, Apocalyptica, Silent Hill soundtracks (1-4), Godspeed You Black Emperor... tons of things in between....

Movies:

Memento, Stay, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Trainspotting, Asian Horror flicks, Secret Window, Shaun of the Dead, Velvet Goldmine, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, The Descent, 28 Days Later, Vital, Corpse Bride, Bubba Ho-Tep (anything with Bruce Campbell), Hot Fuzz, Premonition, The Taste of Tea, Eddie Izzard DVDs.... Do the Strindberg and Helium shorts count as movies?

Television:

I never get to watch much to tell the truth.... Conan O'Brien when I'm home to watch it. Pinky and the Brain. Reruns of Frasier. Bones. Ghost Hunters (TAPS). That one show with what's their face on it....

Books:

The Prophet and other works by Gibran, The Picture of Dorian Gray - anything by Oscar Wilde, The Other, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Actor, Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, the works of E. A. Poe, Clive Barker, Kate Chopin, Lisey's Story by Stephen King, Hunter S. Thompson, Tainted. :p

Heroes:

There are no heroes, just normal people that have some extraordinary traits that deserve to be admired.... JD --
[noun]:

A poltergeist sent back in time to change the course of history forever

Burning Within (old poem just dug up)

I look for you in everyone I meet hoping that if I can find some piece of you in them to embrace, I'll be able to forget.   But you're not there and however much I'm reminded of you through th...

For A Friend (Poem: Dark Waters)

"The thing once surrounding has moved within," he'd said, "a steady stream both angry and so vile. The levy which served to deter it has abandoned me, compromised by my own hand, and now I feel the be...

Beautiful

I woke to find heaven in the bed beside me Angel tears still tangled in the strands of your hair Well aware we'll part by dawn and much too elated by my grief to care. Eternity whispered between the ...
