Desert Rose

Don't wanna be an American Idiot... One nation controlled by the media..

About Me

I'm unusual and odd. I'm obsessed with weird things like brainwashing, cults, the effect of drugs on the brain in mind control, secret societies, conspiracies, dead celebrities, the minds of serial killers and hired killers, and all sorts of strange things. I believe in God but not religion. I sell books. I am obsessed with books! I love to connect people with the special book they are looking for. A good book is an intimate experience between your mind and the mind of the author. I believe each book has a soul and belongs with the right person, and I am the middle person that sometimes guides the book to its proper owner. I especially love finding books that have little things tucked into them from former owners like tickets, bookmarks, notes and other ephemera; it gives you an idea of the journey the book has made.Apart from the normal family stuff, my life revolves around acquiring, repairing, cleaning, reading, researching and selling books! If there is a book you are looking for, let me know! http://www.amazon.com/shops/desert_rose_books

I'd like to meet:

People who have an open mind and are awake to the truth of what is going on in the world today.

Music:

Ruby James (check out her myspace). Doors, Counting Crows, Evanescence, Ray Charles, Old Motown, 60s rock, 70s funk, 80s new wave, 90s grunge, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Ramones, Green Day, Pinhead Gunpowder, Jewel, Sarah MacLachlan, some new stuff, some punk, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac with Stevie singing lead, too many musical interests to name, I have eclectic taste..
I took this picture of Billie Joe Armstrong at the Troubadour 2/4/08, he was playing with Pinhead Gunpowder and we got closer to him than you ever would at a Green Day concert. It was a completely unobstructed stage, and we held onto the amps for dear life, right in front!

Movies:

Tyler Perry's Plays on DVD, The Lost Boys, Raising Arizona, ED WOOD, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Somewhere in Time, The Illusionist, Titanic, Frequency, Fight Club, all types of documentaries on various subjects that interest me, like Supersize Me, Sweet Misery, Endgame, Zeitgeist, etc. Movies about Punk Rock, biopics.

Television:

Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Will & Grace. Most tv I hate.

Books:

There are so many. I miss Hunter S. Thompson. He was one of the few who knew what is really going on in politics. Richard Matheson, W. Somerset Maugham, Anne Rice first 3 vampire Chronicles, Stephen King. Some of my favorite books are Hell's Angels, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Bid Time Return, I am Legend, Fight Club, Forest Gump, The Notebook, 1984. I like biographies, books about the global elite, true crime, horror and any subject I am interested in that I can learn about. Reading is an important tool for everyone. Knowledge is power. The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder ..

Heroes:

MADEA!!!
