art, photography, filmmaking, kitsch, music, foreign films, all things camp, moo goo gai pan, things that start with the letter R, and Thin Mints.
People filled with passion. If you dream, create, long to change the world (for the better), play with your food, get overwhelmed walking into supermarkets because of all the over-saturated colors; then you're my kinda person. I want to communicate with Visionaries, filmmakers, artists, photographers, cooks, peg-legged individuals afraid of splinters, dark humorists, philanthropic art collectors, writers, singers, songwriters, playwrights, people who can spell better than I ( ok that is too broad), intellectuals, spiritualists. I'm Desperately Seeking Susan, no wait that is Rosana Arquette. Being honest, compassionate, devoted and inspiring are all traits worthy of my friendship. I always offer the same in reverse. If you fall into any or all of these categories, drop me a line, if not there are other tortured souls hungry for misery and mediocrity.

Since this is my life, my love, my American Express Card of a topic, I can’t waste 12 hours listing them all. I love Films By Almodovar, John Waters, Todd Solondz, Ang Lee, Fellini, Bergman, Neil Labute, Jean-Pierre Jennet, Terry George, Terry Guilliem, Tarantino, Christopher Guest, Clint Eastwood, Michel Ghondy, Mark Romanek, Jane Campion, Peter Jackson, to name a miniscule FEW. Shawshank, Waiting For Guffman, Happiness, Ice Storm, 8 ½, Amelie, Hotel Rwanda, Goonies, Red, Dancer in The Dark, Adventures in Baysitting, Pink Flamingoes, Polyester, Walk on Water, Cachurro, House of Yes, Steel Magnolias, All About Eve, Now Voyager, Naked Gun, Airplane, old school comedies before they turned stupid and resorted to Johnny Knocksville getting shoed in the nuts! Chances are if Ashton Kutcher is starring in the film, the storyline revolves around a talking kangaroo, or there is yet another secret plot to hold up a bank, I will probably pass on the film. If Hillary Duff rates it as a 2 thumbs up, I’d suggest she take those 2 thumbs and ram them up her anorexic ass! (That sounded violent, hmmmmm, but you all visualized it. I’m sure there would be a scent attached as well, ewwww) I love foreign films, full bodied films brewing with dark comedy, perhaps an offbeat romance where the main lead is played by a midget (Center Station), a demonic voyage into the tortured soul of an artist (Love is The Devil), a neurotic questioning of self (Kissing Jessica Stein), or even something a lil flaming, a tad spicy and WAT- AY – MAL- EN (Birdcage).
SIMPSONS, SIMPSONS, SIMPSONS, Golden Girls, Family Guy, South Park, Daily Show, Nip Tuck, Adult Swim. Don't watch much TV these days, kicked the habit. Too much art to do.
David Sedaris, Augusten Borroughs, Steinbeck, Catcher in the Rye, She’s Come Undone, Memoirs of A Geisha, Lamb, Wicked, The Giving Tree, The House on Mango Street, Gloria Naylor ( even if she was rude to me for being white and a man), not a huge reader, but big collector of photo and art books: Gregory Crewdson, Irving Penn, Vik Muniz, Mathew Barney, Manray, Dorethea Lange, Mark Seliger, Sandy Skoglund, Mapplethorpe, Frida Khalo, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Pierre et Gilles, David LaChapelle, Andy Warhol, Keith Harring, endless influences.
