2007 is going to kick major booty!

About Me

Who am I? Hmmm ... a question not easily answered...
I am many people, yet only one.
I coexist in different worlds; comfortable in all...
but not quite at home in any.
My "skin" adapts to suit my current surroundings/circumstances,
yet I remain constant at the core.
I am eternally restless, yet content.
It is the harmonic (and sometimes dissonant) balance of my different facets that brings me peace.
Vocalist, songwriter, poet, artist, software developer, pro techno-geek, eternal student ...
left and right brain vying for control...and working in concert.
In wandering through this MySpace community, I can see that I am not alone in my "divided" nature. Many of you stretch yourselves in different directions.
This is good

"I remember the images,
scenes of a happier time
I will replay them often
in the theater of my mind"
-- LunaFriday 2/3/06 In Memory of Margaret...
We lost an incredibly special lady this week...
Margaret, we love you and will miss you terribly, but you live on in our hearts and our memories...
Goodbye, dear friend....

I saw this on a friends page -- and it spoke to me...
A poet
is an unhappy being
whose heart is torn by
secret sufferings,
but whose lips are so strangely formed
that when the sighs
and the cries escape them,
they sound like beautiful music...
and then people crowd about
the poet and say to him:
"Sing for us soon again;"
that is as much as to say,
"May new sufferings torment your soul."
~ Soren Kierkegaard
One evening, an old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life...
He said, "My son, there is a battle between two "wolves" inside us all.
One wolf is Evil - he is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, competition, and ego.
The other is Good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

** Please read before sending me an add request **
My "main" MySpace profile is my Luna Jade music profile . I've created this page as a "personal space" to maintain private contacts, express a little more about me beyond my music, occasionally post some of my goofy (and sometimes not so goofy) art.
With so many projects, it's challenging to keep it all under control, so I'd like to ask your indulgence:
  • Please make a friends request to one of my music profiles first.
  • If you're a band looking to network, please add one of my project profiles
    instead... They provide a better vehicle for networking. :)
  • If you are a band who is a friend of mine, drop me a line and let me know
    that you'd like to be added.
  • Please send me an email before the friends add ;
    I like to get to know my friends. :)

  • Thanks for being cool and understanding!
    My Music:
    My eclectic nature spills over to my songwriting and vocal style. As the daughter of a jazz trumpet player and an artist, those influences have been with me from an early age.
    My current projects, each different in style and vibe, will give you a taste of that musical multiplicity.
    Visit Toxic Minds on MySpace...
    Visit Vatican of Sorrows on MySpace...
    Visit Sybylline on MySpace...
    or visit my web site, LunaMusika ...

    And for those of you who don't feel like "surfing" to the other pages, here's a taste ....
    Vatican of Sorrows Playlist:
    Toxic Minds Playlist:
    Additional Music:
    You can hear some music from additional projects, such as Sybylline and More Than Mortal , here:
    My Words:
    I Am My Kindred Soul Facing MedusaScreaming into the Wind
    Going Down Alone The Dark Night of the Soul My Confrere
    Verbal Dance Who Are You Really? Mark of Mysery Tangled
    The Reawakening The Truth Inside Ode to the Unique
    Before I Turn Away Can You Hear Me? Become One
    Lead Us Not Into Damnation Let the Demons LieI Know You
    Sleight of Hand The Voice Inside I Realized We Are
    Descent into MadnessDrowning on Dry Land
    As Dusk Descends If You Must Go
    More words here ...
    My Art:
    In the soul of every artist lives the desire, the need to create a tangible object of beauty.
    Another artistic passion and expression of mine is beadwork.
    I design and create mostly jewelry items and adornments, but I also create other beaded objects as well.
    Here are some of my wire-wrapped pendants .
    Each one features a faceted semi-precious stone or Swarovski crystal drop (the one pictured here is Labradorite):
    (click on the pendant for more designs)
    One of my Bead Sculpture necklaces ...
    no two are alike...
    (click on the pendant for full view)
    Another design ...
    (click on the pendant for full view) I'm in the process of getting my new jewelry company, Luna Bijou, off the ground and I hope to start selling these (and other) handmade items in 2007.
    Stay tuned for more info!
    Some of you may have already seen my "greeting cards" - graphics created for different occasions/holidays that featured one of my beaded creations.
    It's my way of leaving a creative holiday greeting comment for my friends...
    New Years
    Valentines Day
    Easter
    Memorial Day
    My Other Art...
    I sometimes like to 'ramble on' in Photoshop...creating what the spirit moves me...
    Sometimes to illustrate my lyrics...sometimes just a random (and frequently ridiculous) thought in my head.
    Here are some of my other creations...
    In Pursuit of My Passion
    Tyme
    Welcome to My Nightmare
    The Burninator
    What the devil is eating you?
    Facing Medusa
    Almost Perfect...
    Craaaccckkkk...

    My Interests

    Music, performing, writing, recording and engineering, dance, beadwork, web design, graphics design, blading, programming (.NET, C ‡‡ , Ajax, Java, VB, ASP, WebLogic Platform, and the sundry web technologies).

    I'd like to meet:


    Those with the grace and confidence in their own light not to be threatened by the glow of another.

    People who:
    - are masters of their own mind.
    - allow themselves to dream... and believe.
    - are responsible for... and can provide for... their own existence.
    - create, think, feel, learn, work, love ... with tangible results.
    - truly are in forward motion, reaching for the next level.

    Teach me something new and I will return the gift.

    I believe in the true spirit of partnership, where each person brings what they have to offer to the table and works hard toward the common goal. "Investing" in a partnership requires giving more than that which doesn't cost you anything.
    The synergy that is possible when each person lives that is amazing...

    Who else I'd like to meet:
    Trent Reznor, Klayton, Dalbello...or their clones....
    &nbsp

    Music:

    Hmmm...where do I start? So many interests/influences, so little space...Here are some (in no particular order):

    Vocalists - Eva Cassidy, Gladys Knight, Nancy Wilson (the jazz diva, not from "Heart"), Ann Wilson (yes, from "Heart"), Dalbello, Joss Stone, Michael McDonald, Pat Benatar, David Pack, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Patti Austin, Kenny Loggins, Annie Lennox, Bill Withers, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Osborne, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Norah Jones, ...

    Bands : Sevendust, Evanescence, NIN, Stereomud, Vatican of Sorrows, Toxic Minds, Sybylline, Dark New Day, Linkin Park, H.I.M., The Doobie Brothers, Journey, Heart, Earth Wind and Fire, Foreigner, Marilyn Manson, The Rolling Stones, Celldweller, The Pretenders, Eurythmics, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Led Zeppelin, U2, ...

    Movies:

    Anything Science Fiction...
    (I think I was born too soon...)

    Television:

    Don't really watch much unless it's with my eyes closed, lying on the couch...lol (it's a great sleep aid).
    Of the stuff that's still current - West Wing and C.S.I. (the original).
    The "good stuff" is now either off the air or in syndication (but luckily most are available on DVD) - Farscape, Dead Zone, Star Trek (the original and Next Gen), Dharma and Greg

    Books:

    When I have time to read... Anything by Anne Rice, Stephen King, William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut, Edgar Allen Poe.

    (Sense a pattern? there are others, just not coming to mind...I'll add them as they are remembered)

    Something for the perpetually curious... (like me :)
