Music:

Not enough room to list all. My mood dictates the genre at any given point in time. I can honestly say I like a little something of everything from heavy rock to classical. As I write this I'm listening to The Damned - no, wait, that just finished and it's now The Sisters of Mercy. Also on the same playlist is Alison Moyet, Gregorian Chant and Native American drums. Go figure! MyGen Profile Generator

Movies:

I like to watch a good movie now and then. Not interested so much in the 'fast car chase, ending in an explosion' movie. Not really keen on romantic movies. I like something that grips my mind from the beginning. Let's see, I enjoyed Silence of the Lambs. The Shawshank Redemption. Constantine. Scarface. The Godfather. Oh, lots of stuff.

Television:

Not a huge TV fan but when I do watch it I usually select either comedy or crime, depending on how I'm feeling. Can't stand soaps! MyGen Profile Generator

Books:

Any/all poetry. The occasional biography. The Delivery Guy, by Mikel K. Any true crime/forensic. Thrillers. I love books, love them. Love and want them all. MyGen Profile Generator

Heroes:

ramblings

I watched a documentary the other day about a man lost at sea.  He was alone on a raft, now and then having to fight off curious and, no doubt, hungry sharks.  It struck me that, i...

The Yellow Dress

Where did she go and when exactly did she leave? It's not very clear to me, The time flowed by, you see, like water over pebbles.   There was once a woman in a yellow dress, She looked like ...

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Dear Diary,   At some point in time I guess many mother's have had, or will have, a conversation with their teenage son about the way he keeps his hair.  My time has come.&nbs...
