I've recently started taking trips to the outdoors. And hidden among the towering trees and unobstructed stars is a balance you can't find anywhere else.
"Stand in front of a mountain when you feel big and powerful, you will be humbled. Stand before a mountain in a time of need, when you crave direction and guidance, the spirit and force of that same omnipotent rock will open her arms and hold you close..."
This past May, I visited the Sequoia National Park. It was my first time seeing the giant redwoods. It's nice to know that there are still places in the world where such untamed beauty can still survive.
"HEAVY MISTS SOFTEN,
BUT CANNOT DIMINISH THE ASTONISHING STATURE OF THE SEQUOIAS.
YET IT IS NOT THEIR SIZE THAT INSPIRES AWE.
TREMENDOUS IN AGE AS WELL,
THEIR LONGEVITY LEADS US TO CONSIDER A PAST
WHEN TITANS REIGNED UNMOLESTED,
AND A FUTURE THAT REACHES FAR BEYOND OUR OWN SHORT LIFETIMES."
I don't know if I'm ready yet, but I'd love to work (OR DRINK)with my heroes.
Lost in a helpless whirl,
Smoke fills the sky,
Dark clouds rain upon the sanity of my own mind.
A direction left untraveled,
A choice made,
So unclear, indefinable in its simplicity.
Love and learn,
Live and die it seems.
Unable to go back,
And grab the hand that could have been saved.
So instead, deceit chases the sad memories
That huddle together against the storm of time.
Lying to ourselves,
The greatest feeling we ever had never took place.
We can never raise the curtain
And see the life that could have been,
So we are left to wonder if there can ever be better.
Tormented by the fantasy of perfection,
A heart free of shattered shards,
Eyes with no traces of dried tears,
Whole smiles,
And untroubled minds.
The answer of course can never be found.
Certainty, an untamed beast,
Lost in the wilderness of triumph and regret.
In times when strength is not admirable, but necessary,
In worlds where love is lost to lust,
Where art and beauty surrender their breath,
Afraid to be bold,
And man has become predictable,
Shout to the dying light,
Hold tight the sunset sky,
And break the boundaries set to break our souls.
AEROSMITH has been my favorite rock group since I was in diapers...

NEW AND UPCOMING FILMS...
THE DARK KNIGHT Batman battles his nemesis the Joker as Heath Ledger (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN/I'M NOT THERE) joins the cast. Christopher Nolan has re-booted the franchise in a bold, but perfect way, and I honestly can't wait to see what he does with Batman's greatest villain. Christian Bale and Michael Caine return as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Alfred. Aaron Eckhart (THE BLACK DAHLIA/THANK YOU FOR SMOKING) taking on the role of Harvey Dent, returning in the rumored third in the series as his alter ego Two Face. Katie Holmes will not be returning to the franchise, however Maggie Gyllenhaal (SECRETARY/STRANGER THAN FICTION) will replace her as Gotham DA Rachel Dawes. Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman will return to their roles as well.
