Ancient cultures, museums, the dark and macabre, the strange and obscure, live music, musty hard-bound books, fantasy and sci-fi fiction, accessories, costuming, pin-ups, painting and sculpture, rocketeering, British comedies, film noir.
Those whom the educated elite deem creative or intelligent -- so many fools claim the title 'genius' and proclaim it loudly from their trailer-park rooftops. Those whom have not only set lofty goals for themselves but also have the drive and determination to succeed in the here and now.

My musical tastes are eclectic in nature; there is always music playing in the studio -- classical and instrumental, Le'rue Delashay, classic hits from the 20's - 40's, Voltaire, Rasputina, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rammstein, Type O Negative, Rob Zombie, Danzig, My Dying Bride, and I also harbor a bizarre appreciation for Dr. Demento. I am always on the hunt for new and intriguing musical selections and would be pleased to receive any recommendations one might have to offer.
An avid fan of foreign films -- The Magdalene Sisters, Happy Times, House of Fools, The Road Home, The Sea is Watching, Together, The Way Home, The King of Masks, Breaking the Waves. I was raised on the enchanting films of yesteryear -– a more sophisticated time. One of the best: The Women. (The fairer sex at its worst). A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Tumbleweeds, Clockwatchers... the list is endless.
