Acting, art, dance, flute, guitar, karaoke, manifestation, movies, music, my friends, reading, self-realization, singing, sleeping, songs in 3/4 time, the law of attraction, theatre, writing... and Disneyland (check out the pix)!
The missing link and YOU at one of my shows! (dates/times/locations are posted below)
Gary Lightbody.
Zach Braff... he should like my music.
People with something smart/interesting/different to say.
People who like to laugh.
People who can make me laugh.
And I wouldn't mind meeting myself five years from now.
Anyway, whomever you are, drop me a line sometime!

"It's not fatalism to say that if it's meant to be, then it can't be stopped. This is having faith in the power of intention... within you."
-from "The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
I've also enjoyed reading:
All "Harry Potter" books, "The DaVinci Code," "Angels & Demons," "Girl, Interrupted," "Behind Everyman," "Ishmael," "Songmaster," "Syrup," "Company," Dr. Seuss' stories, "Alice in Wonderland," "Lord of the Flies," "Of Mice and Men," and "Le Petit Prince."
And plays like Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Much Ado About Nothing," and "As You Like It," Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia," and "The Real Thing," anything by David Mamet, especially "True and False" (not a play, but a great book about acting that every actor should read), Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues," Sam Shepard's "Curse of the Starving Class," and "Fool for Love" and more.
Susan Egan! Whom I met at Sardo's on a random Friday night:
Other than that, I'd have to say that I gotta be my own hero in this story. And you be your own. Let others inspire you, allow them to affect you and allow them to make you a better person, but be your own everything. Make the world a better place by making yourself a better part of it. Then share that with others and see what happens... cuz you never know!
Ok, sorry for the rant! You can be on your way now! :o)
