THINGS I LIKE: The process of making movies, television shows, and commercials (and by this I mean directing, writing and editing), spending time with my family, music and the discovery of my next favorite song, album or artist, the separation of church and state, poetry, hiking, photography, coastal drives, coastal cities, people watching, fireflies, catching a gig at Largo, great restaurants with friends, mellow cafes by myself, my Mac, quick-witted motherfuckers, frosty bitches, laughing so hard I'm dizzy and cryin', speakin in rhymes without even tryin'...THINGS I DON'T LIKE: Self absorbed conversation hogs, fast food, religious zealots, Republicans, scenesters, that frozen fauxgurt all the scenesters love, the Fox News channel.
Whoever's callin' can't be as cool as you.
