The trail of the hearse...

About Me

I am the trick in your treat.
My sanctuary: I live with my fiancée, my dog & 2 cats. My dog Lazer is an Aussie. The cats are Ouija, a black Manx cross & Aura, a blue pt. Balinese. I lost my Quarter Horse mare of 24 years in October of '05. I will forever miss her! I also have a mule, although that's purely by accident. My pride & joy is my hearse ...her name is Slumber. She's a black '91 Cadillac S&S Victoria. I enjoy living on 34 acres out in the country, but I'm afraid it won't be country for long because the population growth rate in this area is so high. I hate it! It's really a sore subject with me.
Other than that... I try to keep an open mind and enjoy a wide variety of things, but I am drawn toward the dark, creepy, haunting types of things. I love the unconventional. I am a purple freak! I am sarcastic. My taste in music leans toward metal (I guess...not sure how to determine a genre) but I enjoy all kinds, except polka. I don't think I like polka. I love art and I try my hand at painting as often as I can. I spend way too much time at work! These are my thoughts & rants ...not meant to offend anyone unless specifically noted. Oh yeah & I also like to spend some of my time going out and listening to my fiancée's band, Tongue 'n Groove ...my nephew's band, Those Guys ...and my brother's band WillySteve & the Burn Ban when I have the chance. We always have a great time ...check 'em out!
Me = BPAL addict. Carpe Noctem!
I keep a journal on LJ & that's where I usually can be found spookin' around... either there or somewhere in

Movies:

Horror types, suspense/thriller & weird shit are my faves, but sometimes I like to watch girlie movies too.
Anyway, there are tons that I really like, but I'm so bad with movies! I watch them and in a few weeks I can't remember their names. I have to be reminded. I think the zombies got my brain or something. Eventually I'll get back to this list.

Television:

Six Feet Under
Prison Break. I usually end up watching something like CSI, Medium or Cold Case or check out the learning, history or home & garden channels. I can't wait until TrueBlood starts airing on HBO ...I think I'll love it.

Books:

Same as with movies. I like to read, but I go through stages of reading a lot to not at all. It just depends on my mood and seems like the time of year. I read all kinds of books and a lot of the usual slutty vampire novels. To list a few books & authors: Harry Potter series, House of Leaves, Tim Cockey's hearse series, PZB (old stuff), Dick Francis, Dean Koontz, Kim Harrison, J.R. Ward, Charlaine Harris.
