I read and watched the same things in elementary school. And I always scanned the skies for UFOs. :)
I guess the great "opening of mind" in the 60's fueled it. There was a lot of spiritual expansion and people were becoming interested in the paranormal, magic, altered states of reality, ghosts and psychic powers, semi-mythical creatures like the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot, UFOs, etc. Fantasy and Science Fiction were big as well because of the resurgence in the 60s. It was a really interesting/trippy/groovy decade
Close Encounters came about because of that interest. There was a great show called In Search Of narrated by Leonard Nimoy which examined these kinds of things. :D
well, if somebody with a username that pays homage to 7 Eleven is gonna comment to somebody who's username pays homage to the MP3 file format, you know that is a reminder that singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega was born on FREE SLURPEE DAY! She's gonna turn 60 this year, so don't forget to celebrate.
Plus, I don't even know what the new design would be.
Melonking's site design is pretty good I feel.
No need for tearing yourself. The best idea will eventually push through all the other ideas and make itself known. ;) I like Melonking's site too. It has a smooth feel to it.
as long as it isnt some CORPORATE BS. im all about the punk rock pizza rolls lifestyle. also +1 for liking melonking
people might like the sliver of personal already there? expanding it could be just what's right for you and yr audience at the same time
