About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

"The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself."---Sir Richard Francis Burton British explorer & orientalist (1821 - 1890)

I'd like to meet:

All of you. That's why I'm here.

Music:

Music is for losers. Beautiful, beautiful losers.

Movies:

An old dark house, a mad scientist, some mysterious and dubious characters, a murder (or two), an ancient legend, a curse, some secret passageways, and Myrna Loy. There - the perfect movie.

Books:

I read a lot. It would be impossible to list all my favorite authors so I'm just going to list all the books I can see from my desk. Keep in mind this is just from my desk - I have many more that I can't see because of walls and the rules of optics. Authors noted where applicable:Night Fear (Frank Belknap Long), A Ticket to the Boneyard (Lawrence Block), The Good Luck Book, The Asian Grocery Store Demystified, Amok Journal, Crone's Book of Charms & Spells, Murder Plus, Sex and Rockets, Old Fears, The Devil Knows you're Dead (Block again), Encyclopedia Cthuliana, How Not to Write a Screenplay, The Screenwriter's Survival Guide, Fate's Strangest Mysteries, Dark Ladies (Fritz Leiber), Edgar A. Poe (biography), 100 Ghastly Little Ghost Stories, Elektra (Frank Miller), The Mask of Cthulhu, Housekeeping in Old Virginia, Knots and How to Tie Them,The Holographic Universe, Why UFOs, Bad Chili (Joe Lansdale), The Mystic and Occult Arts (Walter Gibson) a whole stack of paperbacks--Okay, I'm tired now. I can also see a bunch of old pulp magazines and about 3000 comic books that I inherited when a friend died.
