About Me


...but not any longer!! I realize just how much I do have to say these days. However speaking about myself STILL remains an interesting concept. Being a journalist, I am usually the one asking the questions, it’s strange territory having the tables reversed! ;^)

What can be said about me? Asides from being an aficionado of music, well METAL and now hardcore, co-running a website called FourteenG or www.fourteeng.net did I mention I too am the webmistress? Back in the day, attempts were made to write a book on baseball from a woman's point of view where I ran across some pretty cool baseball players, through interviews. By the way, the Cubs and Padres are still two if my all time favorite teams!! Another point of interest, I am learning to speak a third language...by this time, you should have figured it out! ;^) Well I think that's about it for now. If you want to know more, you will need to ask. Realizing how many crazy snap judgements have already been made but all I can say is that you may want to ask first. OKAY!


If you have any interest in being showcased on the FourteenG Up N' Coming Bands page, where new bands - signed and unsigned are highlighted for the world to see! We strive to expose the talent of the untapped. In essence, we will whore you out if you let us! Drop me a quick line. If you are a band and are looking at this profile, please join the FourteenG My Space page ONLY unless I asked to be your friend first or if we have formally met prior to our My Space encounter!! BTW, please do not loiter my profile with your announcements of band business, again, please respect this is my PERSONAL profile!! Tack så mycket! Thanks for stopping by!!!
