Lyric Laceile, People Are Either Charming Or Tedious

Love this place.....Keeping in mind that if you ask me for a review I will be honest and forthright, I adore to read others' works very much. I am by trade, a music biographer and music journalist (for a fab magazine in Staffordshire, England). One of the neat things about that gig is the chance to interview interesting musicians who have been off the grid for awhile, like bassist Pete Jones from PIL with Johnny Rotten and the great English artist and author of "How Not To Make It In The Pop World', John Barrow.They are still great artists and deserve attention too. I'm based in Los Feliz, the Bay Area and Texas, working on a screenplay with several talented writers for a tribute film to the great underground iconic club, Starck, as well as being interviewed for the DVD featurette as I dated one of its investors along with Grace Jones and Stevie Nicks, and the possiblity of director Gus Van Zandt ("GOOD WILL HUNTING) directing the film. I'm also in consultation with the music supervisor of the tribute film, recommending as many musician pals as possible for the soundtrack. I'm still toiling away on a love project , a biography on local musicians in Deep Ellum where I worked as booking agent; manager; tour manager; hostess to international acts after-parties often in my home and in the many clubs friends owned, we'd shut downt the club to a few and party for days into nights into days ; I also act as a liason for musicians and labels/major promoters/international venues(booking)as well as acquiring press for artists lacking such by featuring them either on my UK Artists "LIVE" site on myspace and/or writing them up in the British music publication I write for.

I am in process of completing a series of adorable Childrens' fiction about my 'almost human' gecko, Greta Garbo Gecko. (three to finish now!) I really do love life, and feel like the eternal optimist. It helps me too, as someone who deals with chronic pain disorders, to laugh more and to see a brighter side to things. I adore people in doses these days, and am a bit of a self-admitted hermit when immersed in projects. I don't take life too seriously because I know that it was given to us to enjoy. Wreckless living did offer me a myriad of subjects to write about, nearly cost me my health completely and was laced with enough tragedy to be valid-so I neither condone nor judge others actions~ my own glass house is way too roomy for that!

I've always worked in some element of the music/film industry. With friends all over the world, and having been a happy traveler prior to 911, I'm thankful I can venture out in my most imaginative mind....the hell with those security lines.

My sons are a tremendous blessing to me, gifted artists and writers, and I love them both so dearly-wanting only beautiful things for them in their lives, and a life rich in happiness and peace, the kind you can't get from people or things.

I surround myself with upbeat people as sullen people only suck the life right out of you! Mental vampires, as it were. Go suck up another life, rob them of their oxygen, not mine. I can write all about the darkness as a cathartic thing, once immersed in it without even realizing it, now I'm all about light and love and unselfishness. The world thrives on "ME"< "ME"<"ME", not what we can do to make a difference in others' lives. That is my prayer, to make a difference every day in some small way.
