My Interests

I love music, the study (left brain) and the feeling (right brain). Or is it the other way around? I'm endlessly compelled with storytelling of all sorts. Dramatic form is an obsession of mine. Discovering the "monomyth," or one story within all stories, never loses its interest to me. Not only is it in fiction but in everyday as the episodes of our lives unfold. One ending is another crossing into a new world.

Music:

Film scores! John Williams (of course): Star Wars, Saving Private Ryan, Harry Potter 1-3, tons more /James Newton Howard: King Kong, Signs, The Village, Atlantis, tons more /Patrick Doyle: Harry Potter 4, Frankenstein (one of the first CDs I ever owned), Carlito's Way /Others: Lost, Lord of the Rings, Willow, Braveheart /Bands: U2, Radiohead, Tori Amos, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, I don't wish to regurgitate my CD collection, it would just be silly.

Movies:

Star Wars (Empire, favorite movie ever), Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (I see a parrallel with my music, coincidence?), King Kong, Kill Bill, Seven Samurai, Life as a House, Cold Mountain, Glengary Glenross, Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Always, Indy, TMNT the original, I love movies!

Television:

Lost, Lost, LOST!

Books:

Hero with a Thousand Faces, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Harry Potter (only read 1-4, I want to see the movies first so I don't get disappointed by them like every other Potterhead), Black Hawk Down, The Poetics of Music by Stravinsky, The Screenwriter's Bible

Heroes:

Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine, Magneto, Oprah
