I'd like to meet:

a time machine. scene selection. "we are who we are, we do what we do, its time to enjoy the process"

Music:

... the list is far too long to present to you here. Take my iPod one day... it ranges from lots of Radiohead to Dilla to Dixie Chicks to Bad Brains to Johnny Cash to Autolux to Outkast... and on & on.

Movies:

...old movies when guys dressed hot...anything Tim Burton did/does/will do....documentaries and science movies...cheesy teen movies & Anchorman win everytime. And of course Dirty Dancing....Dear Johnny~I am disappointed in you because:1- you are like 37 years old and all up on my 18 year old va-jay-jay2- you are WAY too protective of your dance space.3- anyone who takes dance lessons from Arthur Murray is a FAG4- your pants are so tight that I think your sperm count may be too low for us to ever have kids.5- You fucked that old lady Vivian Pressman. ew.Love~Babyps- you were WAY hotter in Roadhouse.

Television:

Food Network, History Channel, Discovery Channel. In Treatment, ROME. I hate reality shows, I see enough dumbasses in my everyday life, I don't need to watch them on tv.

Books:

Spiritual books, historical books, classic books, a good love story and any book Muggs buys for me. Just read Catcher In The Rye (again) and am working on Invisible Monsters (by the same guy that wrote Fight Club)

Heroes:

My mom, my grandparents. People who make me realize I have it good, people who inspire me, anyone who has the balls to do their own thing and fight the BS. My son is my hero. He loves everyone and sees no bad in the worst people. RIP XL... RIP DILLA... RIP LIL CHRIS BAKER.

My Blog

Live life harder.... RIP Lil Chris Baker.

It was exactly one week ago today, almost to the hour, that I got one of the saddest phone call of the year. "Travis has been a plane crash, he is alive, but Lil Chris is dead" It has a ll been a litt...

"This is the best day EVER"

I wake up every morning with the Oldies station blasting from my alarm clock. There is something much, much nicer about waking up at the crack of dawn to The Beatles instead of Soulja Boy. Anyway-  th...

Thoughts of XL....

On July 4, 2003 I lost one of my best friends. The 4th of July has been a bittersweet day ever since. It has taken almost 4 years for me to really have it sink in that Pete, aka XL, is gone. I still f...

Banksy Photo Blog

  If you lived in LA (or any place near LA) and you were not at the Banksy show this weekend, you apparently live under a rock or were in traction in a hospital. Judging by the lines on Sunday, E...
