About Me

http://www.tribehollywood.com/Motor_DisplayProfile?id=202954 7891 "The thing that's important to know is you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way."(photographer Diane Arbus). I'm a Graduate student,freelance journalist/writer/researcher and novelist, living in The Horse Capital of the world. My current novel-in-the-works is tale of reincarnation (a ghost story)called SUPERSTAR PASSAGE (and can be read in my BLOG as I complete). The book concerns the "passage" of the greatest female vocalist EVER--the 1970's "Queen of Pop"--Karen Carpenter. The novel reflects extensive research on subjects like the soul, reincarnation, astral projection, life-extension, ghosts, the Maya (year 2012--end of their calendar), Walk-ins, soul-fragmentation, the existence of time (or not), the Pleiades star system, autism, and the paranormal and "psuedo sciences." The first novel, BOMBASTIC GADFLIES (dedicated to Karen Carpenter) takes place in the heart of THE BLUEGRASS--with a thoroughbred-industry back-drop. The novel concerns a U.S. Kentucky Republican congressman who ran for governor--to take (free and clear) $700-thousand in PAC money (more than ANY congressman in history): a story based "loosely" on my life and those around me growing up. "Anorexic politics" reflects the order of the day:

A political menu starving for campaign-finance reform: the congressman's (and others') diet of deceit and greed--serving anorexic politics in Kentucky's governor's race: a primary victory by forking over the most massive helpings of money--the key ingredient. Not fit to consume or eat: how Kentuckians were seeing the politics served to them. (Dishing out negative advertising sickened voters.) Past front-stretch (back-stretch) camera-man for a live horse-racing production (Charlson Broadcast Technologies)--at the city's standardbred track (The Red Mile): simulcast to racetracks throughout the country.

Grew-up working around Keeneland Racetrack barns hotwalking ("cooling hots": horses just exercised). TV producer (and CAPTIONED NEWS Coordinator) at Kentucky Educational Television seven years. Left KET for San Jose California to be with family--unable to attend Graduate school due to lost UK records. After 12 years in college have close to 200 credit hours (50-plus graduate hours). Enrolled: four Graduate programs. Currently, I am a Graduate student at the University of Phoenix working on a Master's Degree in Business Management (27 hours so far). In the mid-1990's I tutored dozens of athletes (a half-dozen sports)--at the U.K. Athletics Association; members of two NCAA basketball championship teams. LISTED: 26th Ed. Marquis Who's Who In The South and Southwest as an Athletics Educator. My latest published article may by found in DAN'S PAPERS (the most read magazine/paper in The Hamptons.) My breadth of study in my Journalism B.A.: photography and film. Enjoy videotaping/editing. Additionally, I have a five-year-old tri-colored Toy Fox Terrier named Gemsy (seven pounds). He looks just like my previous Toy Fox Terrier I lost at age 15 in 2002. (Gemsy is related to my previous TFT--both show quality from Fox Paws in Louisville). Music vibrates at the heart of my soul. I am a classically trained pianist. I like to sing. Recently, I have re-discovered Karen Carpenter--and The Carpenters; and obsessed with Karen. (Basically, I enjoy music, PERIOD--and grew up on the rock'n'roll concert scene.)

My Interests

MySpace

Writing and music. Karen Carpenter is at the center of my music collection. I really dig Aimee Mann's music (her resemblance to Karen Carpenter). ....Also, I like the Mamas and Papas, Michael Buble. Music Video: Secret by (Madonna)

Music Video Code by Video Code Zone

.. I am a vegetarian (except turkey). I live on Pepsi. Chocolate is king. I walk most everywhere.Basically (unless it is country) I can "fit-in" most music scenes (I even went through a Grateful Dead phase in the 1990's--and it was Jerry all the time!) Besides music I really get into ANYTHING related to the supernantural or paranormal.

Television:

Though I don't care much for television anymore, I watch mainly documentary/news-type shows; and programs like NOVA, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, FRONTLINE, NOW,EUROPEAN JOURNAL, McLAUGHLIN GROUP, WIRED SCIENCE, and GLOBE TREKKER (a lot of PBS). Reality TV sucks Right now I like "Friday Night Lights" and "Ghost Whisperer....and just recently started watching "Two and A Half Men" (reruns twice a day)." Plus, I watch Carson Daly every night. (And I have about 80 tapes [around six episodes or more on each] of the old "DARK SHADOWS" 1960's and 1970's TV serial: campy but great!)"That '70s SHOW" was a favorite...as well as "Malcolm In the Middle. "The Simpsons" are still one of my favorites.I think "SOUTH PARK" is hilarious, and use to watch the show religiously. Also, I really enjoyed "Sex And The City" (but not as much the second time around...got kind of tired of Carrie whining about "Big.")
