Happy Holidays, Safe Travels!

About Me

JED isn't really a character. Allowing for a bit of smoke & mirrors, it's basically me.In short, I am a misunderstood-loner-genius-superstar, shedding a tear for the broken-hearted. I am also an Actor and a Letch. Fait accompli---
Getting back to the basics of life--Life's too short for drama.---Also, I've realized that you're nothing without family-Keep that in mind.
Like all great renaissance-man,egotistical, wordsworthy motherfuckers-I like to hole-out on the lounge carpet with a vodka-tonic.
Remember---In the words of the Great Tyler Durden----You are not your job. You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your F*%king khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. -----Life's A Garden, DIG-IT!!!!!
Remember America......"Moisture is the Essence of Wetness and Wetness is the Essence of Beauty".
In regard to following fashion trends of the seasons I say,"Cropped Trousers and Fred Astaire shoes!Nail Varnish and bangels! LOUCHE MOI?Fuck Fashion, I'm going bowling.Stay Classy Los Angeles--J-

My Interests

I WASN'T LIKE EVERY OTHER KID, YOU KNOW, WHO DREAMS OF BECOMING AN ASTRONAUT.
I WAS ALWAYS MORE INTETERESTED ON WHAT BARK WAS MADE OUT OF ON A TREE Also....other interests are:
Trying not to, but always dissapointing friends & loved ones with occupational choices- :( Keeping pleasure strictly extra-curricular-
Going to "GOTH-NIGHT" on Tuesdays @ Vine Bar and being Ostracized-- Preparing Drinks @ BLVD 3,-Crooning @ Barney's Beanery on Sunday-Karaoke-Night- Playing the Jazz Flute, Doing Yoga, Keeping up with Current News & Events, Listening to NPR at Top Volume in my Car-Trying to master the noble art of self abuse-
Trying to comprehend World Politics, Reading, Driving in Gridlock, Making Inflatable Furniture, Harassing Solicitors Avoiding Bums on the Street; Cat-Calling & doing "Drive-By-Wedding-Proposals" to the Trannies on Santa Monica Blvd. Eating Peanut Butter & Nutella; Shopping @ Nature Mart. Driving around L.A. for Castings-- Challenging my acting chops with Howard Fine, Margie H. & Lesly Kahn---In short, I'm a pretty acerbic & sarcastic tall drink of water-- But deep down, just a kid at heart-

I'd like to meet:

Someone with fathomless eyes & a luxuriantly foul mouth.

Music:

Getting into 80's New Wave...Don't ask why, it just feels RIGHT!!! Aother fun bands I like are: The Verve, Cathrine Wheel/Rob Dickinson, (All MADCHESTER), Goldfrapp, Decemberists, BRAZILIAN GIRLZ, Ivy-- (Edge of the Ocean is surreal!!!! check it out!!!!!!), Stone Roses, The The, The Cure, Gene, The Moz; (Morrisey), Phil Collins, Interpol, Mazzy Star, Dead Can Dance, Manu Chao, MC SOLAAR, Cause & Effect, Dephece Mode, Stereophonics, Beatles, Led Zepplin, Doors, Beach Boyz, James Taylor, The Roots, Electric Circus, Chabba Ranks, Deep Roots Regga, The Specials, English Beat, Old Blind Dogs, Santana, Ozomatli, Gypsy Kings, The Who, Elton John, Fuel, & Cake.

Movies:

Have to say, LA Vie E Bella, Pulp Fiction, Serpico, All James Bonds, The original Star Wars, Rennt Lola Rennt, Das Geheimis, Metropolis, Amadaeus, A Mighty Wind, Waiting For Guffman, Fellini's 8 1/2, the Night Porter, ah, I quit, too many to really share! Much respect to all the Jean Claude Van Damme films--- He really trained hard to get in that good of shape....no matter how much CHARLIE he consumed....we gotta give him props---But, on a side note--- you gotta respect the German Wiemar Era, they were really ahead of their time, no?? Also, French Cinema is moving up, plus films from Latin and South America have my respect too-I'm really against all the new Disney and Pixar cartoons- These films are too high brow for kids, and instead of focusing on children, these films are trying to rake in the $$$, so really, the compromise is the kids- not cool-

Television:

"24" 3rd season, Because I was on it!!!! Nip/Tuck, yep, cause I was on it too! Murder She Wrote, the Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, (quit your, jibba'jabber!)The Office, Monty Phython, Faulty Towers, Benny Hill, Webster, Family Ties, etc., etc.

Books:

Any Saul Bellow Novel, but Love Bret Easton Ellis & Chuck Palanuck. E. Hemingway, Jack K., And of course, Delillo is the man too! Charles Bukowski is one I'd like to live vicariously through- Ayn Rand knew her shit too- Sometimes I really feel like I'm Peter Keating, and other times I feel like Howard Roark's Doppel-ganger- Know what I mean!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Heroes:

Mom & Dad, Hal & Jane Bernard, Ed & Evelyn Boeger. Love you all so very much----!!!!! My cousin Greg Boeger for establishing BOEGER WINERY in Northern California- Also Gerard Depardieu for saving French Wine and those smaller vineyards-

My Blog

Personal Hygine

Just out of curiousity..... Is it weird that I floss 2 times a day? Do you people floss? Sometimes, I think Personal Hygine is underrated; but then again, what the hell do I know-...
