Walk until the joints refuse to move and the blisters have grandchildren, play the drums until they sound decent...a very long measure of time and tolerance, play guitar until it sounds like something... even longer, travel somewhere to see if they'll let us back in when we get home, how close can we get to the baboons/gorillas/lions/polar bears/seals before they eat us...do you have enough film to capture it when it happens? To someday be paid for doing something I enjoy...scribbling perhaps.
"For all of you C students out there, I say you too, can become President of the United States." Now that, is terror.

THINK ABOUT YOUR DOLLARS AND YOUR PURCHASES. US$100, the cost of a single pair of jeans, maybe two. That is the cost of high school TUITION -- yes you have to pay -- in Zambia. It is a crushing amount too many families cannot afford. MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE.

Movies:
You will never see a movie quite like The Girl Next Door, and you will probably never be the same after, Blythe Auffarth sets a bar for humanity and courage in her portrayal few will touch; Water, Fire, The Syrian Bride, Salaam Bombay, Thirteen, Hannibal, Oceans 11, Death In Gaza, The Tunnel, Loving Annabelle...you could sit with Brook's characters and never get bored. Erin Kelly and Laura Breckenridge possess the rare talent of capturing you with their characters; most documentaries, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Good Will Hunting, Pink Panther (NOT THE NEW ONE!!!), White Men Can't Jump, Colors, Blow, Less Than Zero, Boyz In The Hood, Apocalypse Now, Killing Fields, Resevoir Dogs, Throw Mama, Natural Born Killers, Fahrenheit 911, Sometimes In April, Blame It On Rio, St. Elmo's Fire, Kalifornia, Being There, Mississippi Masala, Philadelphia, Romancing The Stone, Good Morning Vietnam, Lord Of The Flies, Rancid Aluminum, Wild Orchid, Gorillas In The Mist, Dying Young, Dead Calm, Malcom X, New Jack City, Mississippi Burning, Summer Of Sam, Higher Learning, 8 MM, 8 Mile, Running Scared, Silence Of The Lambs, a heap I have forgotten.
