I'm Nick Kelly, one of many Nick Kellys out there in the world wild web, but I'm the only ME that you'll ever know, and most folx are thankful for that. I'm a musician, a writer, an artist, a motorcycle rider, a hockey fanatic, a horror movie lover, a father, a husband, a son, and an overall lunatic. I've got some good stories so far on this wild ride I've called life and more comin' seemingly everyday, so hang out, pour yourself one up to the brim, and buckle up for safety.
It's going to be a fun ride.

For those who visit this blog regularly, first of all, thanks. Second, it's no surprise to many that I'm a big fan of the legendary Vincent Price. I was searching for a good quote for BNI a few weeks ago and ran into a great one which I think sums Vince up pretty well. His words: "He who limits his interests, limits his life." Gotta love it. Especially from a guy who was a stage actor, movie actor, radio talent, chef and art collector (among other things).I've learned a lot from Sybir in our time together and thankfully, I'm still learning. This week has been focus through meditation and concentration, with lessons from Bruce Frantzis and Dr. Andrew Weil. Before this, I would stumble sometimes into the periods where I gave myself information overload and largely lost sight of the identity I was trying to synchronize with through the white noise...that I created!Now that I have the pathway to keep my head above it all, I'm working on prioritizing things and making sure that the most important things get to the forefront. For instance, it's more important to make sure Pup gets to school on time than it is to stay up writing interview questions for the star of "Return to Sleepaway Camp." (Crap, I have to get those done this week...)As everyone is making resolutions, try to use these two different but complimentary ideas in place. Research and expand your interests. At the same time, focus on who you are and who you strive to become. Very often, you'll find the two ideas aren't so far apart after all.Thoughts?One love,nKLabels: Andrew Weil, BNI, Bruce Frantzis, Catwalk, Division, JWP, nK, pup, Sybir
This afternoon and evening, Sybir, Pup and I trekked up to Hunt Valley, MD to check in on the semi-annual HorrorFind Weekend. This was not the first time Sybir and I have been to that location, having attended a few sci-fi conventions in the past to help sell some of our old works. Thi was, however, Pup's first time at a horror con.For the adults wondering why anyone would take a toddler to a horror convention, save it. He was prepped with a few week's guidance that skulls and brains and fake blood were all just rubber and latex. They weren't any scarier than the punching dummy at Karate class. How did he do? The only time he even looked twice at a "scary" person was when he questioned the Toxic Avenger for wearing a tutu.I got a chance to meet a number of people and drop some Division CD's in the hands of folks who I think we'll partner with in the future. As for the talent there, Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, Congo, The Crow, Oz) was absolutely drawn to Pup and embraced him like they'd know one another forever. The local crew filming Women's Studies was very kind. The guys behind the upcoming film, Hatchet, were very engaging, and there were several other actors and actresses who were very sweet to Pup as well.There was a ton of stuff there to help promote the film I've been raving about, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.In the near future, the results will be engaging a lot of these folks either with Division or through Horrorview.com so keep your eyes peeled on results!After that, we hung with my buds Andrew and MB and attended an art exhibition opening down at the Ottobar in Baltimore. The artist is a talented young lady named Erin. If you get a chance to hit Ottobar this week, head upstairs for a sneak peek.One Love!nKLabels: Division, horrorfind, Horrorview, hyperplex, nK, pup, Sybir
