Welcome! 
I'm glad you found my little patch in the web. Come on in, my friend. I invite you to get tangled in it. Simply sit back, relax, enjoy a luxurious sip of coffee, sign the guest book, and browse...
Explore some of my hobbies which might be the same as some of yours.
I'm a musician who plays bass and a little
guitar (not a ukelele). No, I'm not that Eric
Johnson or any of these Eric
Johnsons. Styles I like are pop music, techno/industrial,
new wave disco, punk, blues, rockabilly, you name it. Here are
a few links to my favorite new bands and other longstanding artists
who have been influential. Also, check out the Motor City Music
Scene or Harmony Central, excellent sources for musicians and
music lovers alike.

I love figurative drawing and photography. It may be the serpentine curve of the human form or the seductive line of a classic automobile; either way, I find it appealing to the aesthetic senses. Follow these Art, and Photography links to appease your visual and visceral faculties:

If you're like me, you like to use your creative
talents, skills, and expertise to learn something new every day
and pass that knowledge on to others. I help automotive designers
use computers to create some of today's most stunning automobile
body designs.
Here are the links to my 9 to 5 world:

My artistic influences are Dadaism and Surrealism
in poetry and art. These movements also influenced the free verse
style of poetry. Follow these instructions:
The mouse can
touch blue words which permit the rodent to feed on data in mysterious
realms, using only a modem for a spoon.
There is some passionate poetry happening at
the Moondog Cafe on Melrose (1 blk. W. of LaBrea) in Hollywood,
CA.
PL, hosted by Larry Jaffe and Donn Deedon, features award winning
poets each week (Tuesdays) and is a warm, friendly place for new
initiates to explore as well.
So you write journals, eh? So did Jim Carroll,
author of "The Basketball Diaries", when he was a kid.
I wouldn't recommend following his exact path, but at least follow
his story. And here's the creator of Johnny Mnemonic for all you
Cyberpunks out there.
Both authors are available here in association with Amazon.com.
