About Me |
|
| Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!I've always been a Rock 'n' Roller..." I've somehow always been able to transform my passions into career paths that are rewarding to me. I'm a music producer and a fossil preparator, despite having no formal background in either. My list of international clients has included Acura, American Express, Anheuser-Busch, AT&T, Cadbury, Carling O'Keefe, Frito-Lay, Kodak, Kellogg's, Marlboro, Procter & Gamble and many more. Among my fossil prep 'projects': SUE the T. rex, JANE the T. rex (hey, I like T.Rex!) giant sauropod dinosaurs, small bird-like dinos, fossil crocs and amphibians, and many, many fossil fish! I'm a Sagittarian, a Centaur with a Scorpio mouth. My aim is true. I value integrity, friendship, intelligence, hard work, passion, creativity, originality, fearlessness, being the best you can be, and following your dreams. And having an absurd sense of humor helps! Click on link here: www.ipetitions.com/petition/ianhunterforhalloffame ....... ..... What Old School Disney Villain Are You? Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) I have two words for you: Bad Ass. You can turn into a dragon! Alright, probably not you, but Maleficent could. You have a brilliant ability to hold a grudge, and you build up small slights into massive wrongs overnight to justify to scary tirades you're prone to. You might want to look into the ancient concept of Forgive and Forget. Just a thought. On the other hand, that whole dragon business is way cool, so I think you're alright. Take The Quiz Now! You are Bettie Page Girl next door with a wild streak You're a famous beauty - with unique look And the people like you are cultish about it What Famous Pinup Are You? Hey, folks, I don't make this stuff up... IT'S SCIENTIFIC! ;-) You are a 1970s Diva Bell bottoms, platform shoes, wide belts, and tons of polyester. You've got a bit of that hippie vibe going on, but you're hip enough to pull it off! What Decade Diva Are You? CURRENT MOON moon phases |

My Interests |
|
| Music, drawing, hiking, nature, travel, fossil prep, hunting down the ultimate pair of divine platform boots, playing and pimpin' my guitars, coaxing a sweet tone outta my Les Paul. I'm passionate about music, and if my music list puts me in a time warp, so be it. Oh yeah, and I love animals, too. |

Movies:Anything by Kubrick or Hitch, film noir, epic David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia, Passage to India) Lean-lite (the English Patient) thought-provoking sci-fi (Metropolis, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys).

Heroes:Jimmy Page, first for his undeniable prodigious talents as composer, musician and producer; but also for his courage in not becoming a tragic statistic. A tenacious survivor and rock 'n'roll animal. Long live Jimmy! Ian Hunter, because Ian ROCKS! Witty, intelligent, perceptive, sardonic, a poet and a true original;and..... Mick Ronson, the Spider with the platinum hair. Without Ronno and his prodigious music and production talents, Ziggy Stardust would have never reached those cosmic heights. My International Heroes, the Brothers Grimtone, for persevering and grooving MASSIVELY. David Bowie, for being fearless, and not afraid of ch-ch-ch-changes. Les Paul and Robert Moog. Greta Garbo and Clara Bow, for their transcendence on the silver screen.... Joan of Arc. Childhood hero. THIS is who I wanted to be when I grew up. My mom, for being transcendental. Leonardo daVinci. Renaissance man, ya know? Anyone who challenges the mind-numbing, brain-atrophying antics and atrocities of this current Administration and who takes a stand against corporate greed, global warming and blatant hypocrisy, I salute you! That means you, AL GORE!!! |
