Oh MySpace...you kinda suck

About Me

I want to learn as much as I can about the world and myself as I can. I love food and I love comedy! Give me a some great sushi, pad thai, mac and cheese(I'm easy) and a good dark comedy and I'm happy (having my cat around would make me even happier). I generally love people, unless they're being stupid...which happens way too much sadly. Animals are much more reliable in my experience- and can experience unconditional love in a way we never will.I think having faith in something is beautiful, but any person who claims to have the answer scares me. I have a love-hate relationship with Manhattan, but usually have a hard time imagining living any place else. I'm happy we're in an era that people (at least in my bubble in NYC) are looking at marriage and family a little different and yet I'm bummed that romance and dating is in a really sad state. I guess you can say I'm an open book that rarely gets offended or feels out of place. I try to spread the love, cause man it's way too easy to spread the hate.

My Interests

Directing,writing, acting, yoga, travelling, cooking, dancing, trying to mix up with the best drinks possible, rescuing animals, wasting time on the internet. I saw a commercial for the news that said "you may be addicted to the internet if you spend too much time checking blogs, email, news, etc.". All I could think was who do I know who's not addicted to the internet?

I'd like to meet:

Your mom...and your dad. Oh and anyone who wants to fund my films...that would be cool too.

Music:

I like many different kinds of music... always depending on my mood. I love folk, funk, jazz, classic rock...even classical sometimes. I think my favorite artists are those whose lyrics get to me - Sarah, Cat, Tori, Joni, Marvin, Frank, Nina, etc. Then there are just some bands and musicians that get to me for whatever reason- The Cure, Beck, Al Green, The Shins, Nick Drake, Bjork, Radiohead, U2, Coldplay, Cake, The Postal Service, and of course Air Supply.

Movies:

Oh there are so many I almost don't want to even attempt to put them all down... but to name a few - Tootsie, Shawshank Redemption, Annie Hall, Say Anything, Godfather, Nine Lives, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Grosse Point Blank, Rushmore, Waiting for Guffman, Kill Bill, Being John Malkovich, Secretary, Edward Scissorhands, Real Genuis, The Never Ending Story, Groundhogs Day, Better Off Dead, The Big Lebowski, Election, You can Count on Me, We Don't Live Here Anymore, Sideways, Superman, Sex, Lies, and Videotape etc., etc., etc.

Television:

All the classics - Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Facts of Life, The Wonder Years... and a few from this decade like Scrubs, Six Feet Under, Sex in The City, Dave Chappelle Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Daily Show, etc. I definitely went through a serious obsession with The Kids in The Hall, and feel that my love for men in drag really began with them...or maybe Boy George, either way they're amazing. Lately I've been enjoying the best cheesy soap opera to come along in a while - Grey's Anatomy, what overdramatic, wonderful crap.

Books:

Oh so many books...so many lame books. I read a lot of non-fiction and plays and I'm not exactly bragging about it. I've read some good books too. Why is listing them so hard? Oh so hard!

Heroes:

Batgirl and every other girl who kicks ass

My little Walt

I had one of the saddest shocks in my life today when I was told my kitten had died. He was at the vet to get neutered...something I've been trying to do for a while, but because he was a feral cat i...

Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime

I know it's cliche, but I watched part of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' again tonight, after not seeing it for a while. That film still fucking gets me. I cry every single time I see it at...

So many suck

I feel like there are a few people close to me that have hermit tendencies and when they're not in the "mood" they think they can just totally pull away from everyone or worst be curt and just downrig...

Can I just say?

When you're ready and available it's amazing how much the world seems to not want you. Take the Nintendo Wi versus Playstation 3. A few months ago they were both in demand and running out at stores....
