My family and friends, body art, music, cars, The Crow, yoga, horror and sci-fi movies, pin-ups, Bettie Page, guitars ( I have a 1979 Gretsch BST, an Ibanez JS100 Satriani custom autographed to me from Joe Satriani and an Applause acoustic/electric), dragons, penguins, video games, vampires... Pretty simple, huh? I am generally a pretty quiet person, but I do absolutely love music and taking my daughter to concerts. She is my best buddy and partner in crime. I love muscle cars, classic hot-rods, and VW Bugs. I want a doggie! And I am a hellagood cook (but I hate to do the dishes).
People (friends only) with deep minds, open hearts, vivid dreams, and lots of laughter. Be yourself, that is a lot more impressive than who you may pretend to be. Have the strength and confidence to be who you are and live your dreams. Be passionate about something. Be open-minded. Be adventurous and playful. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. Support your local music scene!!! Check my friend list for awesome local bands and the clubs where you can find them rockin'...

This is my friend Ryan's band. He is a truly amazing person, and I love him lots. The whole lot of them are sweethearts. They will definitely be the ones to make it, especially with Ryan's drive and intensity to push them. Click the links and check them out. There's a few songs on their myspace page. Leave them a comment. You'll be glad you did.

Obviously, anything with vampires. Lost Boys being the fave of those. I also absolutely LOVE The Crow and have a huge collection of Crow stuff. Anything with Jason Statham in it. Mean Machine, Snatch, Lock, Stock... I hate chick flicks. I'd much rather see something with a lot of action or stuff blowing up. Some of my other favorite movies are Fight Club, LOTR, Harry Potter (ok, so I'm a geek, too), Blazing Saddles, Monty Python (anything), Blade, XXX (so sue me), Top Gun, Office Space, Bound, War Party... I have a lot of movies I love and can't remember to list right now. Just don't make me watch some sappy crap that is going to make me cry, 'kay? "Kay. So long and thanks for all the fish! (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy rules, so there!!!) Yes, it is official. I am a sci-fi, gamer geek. Get over it!
Who has time for television in a rock n roll world? lol... But I do love old British comedy, Discovery Channel, cartoons, medical, forensics, tattoo and car shows. When I have time, which is nearly never. I'd rather be doing something with music, exploring haunted places, etc. We usually watch dvds of X-Files and Family Guy when eating between running around to our various stations and bouts of video games. Who needs tv when you have a DS???
History, philosophy, mythology, science fiction/fantasy... Piers Anthony's Xanth series. Deepak Chopra... Whatever catches my fancy at the moment. Basically, I just love to read. I like to have my mind stimulated.
My mother for all she deals with every day of her life and never loses her beautiful heart and smile. And my babies... Arielle (16), Randy (12) and Kaity (10). (that makes me 34 years old)
Linus Torvalds (extra credit for anybody who knows who that is)
And Will for being my best friend, strongest supporter, sunshine on the darkest day, and keeper of my dreams. I love you, beautiful blondie boy.
