I took this picture
I am a huge movie buff. Anything from comedies to horror flicks that have you at the edge of your seat.
I am also an aspiring writer, spanning from poetry and short stories to screenplays.
I am into creating abstract art pieces as well as trying my hand at photography.
I go to art galleries and museums as much as I can. Just want to get lost in all the culture.
I am up for learning and trying new things. Just started to learn how to shoot pool, give me some time and then watch out for me!!!
The things that make me happy:
Dr Pepper (yummy), my sister singing 80's pop songs when I am down and blue, my cat chasing her toys, my brother Mike's standup comedy shows, watching a music cd collection infommercial at 2am, walking around the Art Institute of Chicago, buying a new cd, book or dvd!
Poetry Written by My Favorite Poets
Nicole Blackman......
GONE
When I am gone your pillow will smell like me.
When I am gone the ice cubes in your glass and the sway of your curtains will sound like me.
When I am gone your toothbrush and milk carton will taste like me.
When I am gone everyone who passes by your window and everyone on your television will look like me.
When I am gone the curve of your telephone,
the blade of your razor,
and the fur of your cat will feel like me.
When I am gone you will tell your landlady that you're leaving at the end of the month.
You will swear your apartment is haunted.

PHANTOM WINGS
On damp foggy days it's the worst.
I can feel the twitching itching pain in my back where they took my wings.
On bright sunny days my instincts can kill me.
I just naturally want to jump out the window,
but they took my wings.
When I'm angry, I want to whip up a wind,
But....
I can remember being sent home from school with a note from the principal:
"We are sorry, but wings are not appropriate school atire. Please rectify this situation or we will be forced to burn your child in assembly."
My parents debated over the effects of excommunication and had my wings amputated for my own good,
So I'd fit in,
So I'd be like the others.
It didn't work.
I carry my phantom wings around me like a curse.
I know they're there even though they're not.
It really fucks up relationships.
"I love you. See if you can guess what's wrong with me."
They tell me plenty,
all of it true,
but they never notice my wings.
On cold winter days
the severed muscles get so stiff
that I grit my teeth and the sweet rolls off in sheets.
No position is comfortable and no drug will help.
It's not fair.
I could have been a minor Hindu deity
or a Major Demon.
I mean somebody's got to do it.
And now the Creation is unbalanced
and I don't want to be standing on ground zero
when it evens itself out.
So I spend my days doing what little evil I can,
partly to help rectify the balance,
partly for personal revenge,
and partly because if you can't fly,
you wallow.

LOVE
In the night,
When I am cold inside,
I think of you.
When my voice gives out,
Tears grow stale,
And the concrete is warm with my need,
I think of you.
When I spin the chamber,
Pull the trigger,
And hear only a hollow click,
I think of you.
After killing a year with the bottle,
Fucking the faceless,
And fleeing across the continent,
I'm thinking of you and always will.

Anton Newcombe
First and foremost, I have to mention one of the most brilliant and talented musicians, Anton Newcombe, founding member of the Brian Jonestown Massacre. He is like the mad scientist of the music world, capable of so many different feats and innovations in the music world. In addition to music, he has a passion for what is going on in the world around us, freely speaking his opinions and trying to make others aware.
