Back in Beantown!!!!

About Me

Here's a music video I recently produced and directed: ..Here's a clip from Grey's Anatomy. My friend Priscilla's song "Rain" is playing in the background. Enjoy!

My Interests

Creative interests (writing, acting, music, art), cooking, wine tasting, volunteering, rollerblading, hiking, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Funny people. Nice people. New people. And by new I don't mean infants...technically they are the "newest people", but rather "new" as in those I have not yet met at this juncture. Though I grew up in Massachusetts, I've been living in California for the past six years...pretty much my entire adult life. So I'm experiencing Boston now as an out-of-towner, really. It's fun to explore, and I've been meeting great people as I do.

Music:

My friend Priscilla (check out her myspace page under Priscillaahn) Greg Laswell, Cary Brothers, Ray LaMontagne, U2, Coldplay, DMB, Radiohead, Jack Johnson, The Who, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Soundtrack music, The Monkees, STP, Muse, The Killers, Keane, JEM, Death Cab, Imogen, Brandi Carlile, Amos Lee, Joe Purdy, etc.

Movies:

Old School, Ransom, Tommy Boy, Godfather I & II, The Devil's Advocate, Moulin Rouge, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Meet Joe Black, Hunt for Red October, Indiana Jones, Air Force One, American Beauty, Good Will Hunting, Garden State, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Television:

Family Guy, Arrested Development (the funniest and most original show on TV...R.I.P.) House, Grey's Anatomy, Rescue Me, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Yup. I'm a sap.

Books:

Band of Brothers, Tom Clancy books, East of Eden, David Sedaris books, Pillars of the Earth, Angels and Demons, W.B. Yeats.

Heroes:

My parents. One of the most beautiful things in the world is seeing two people still happy and in love after nearly 40 years of marriage. That's my folks. Deep, loving, caring, giving, hilarious...they've got it all.

Finally home...

It takes approximately six hours to fly from Los Angeles to Boston. It's a trip I've made many times these past six years. If you're lucky enough to get a direct flight, that's one thing. Often times,...

I Hate L.A.

            You can't get away with insulting Los Angeles. It's almost impossible. You say the words, "I hate L.A.," and people don't know what t...

Wow...a different opinion in Europe

I thought this was worth sharing because it's always good to look at both sides of an argument. And we tend to get a heavy dose from only one side these days. Enjoy! Here is an opinion on the War in I...

* No spoilers included When I first heard that Universal was making a movie about United Flight 93, the plane that went down in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11, I was pissed. I wanted to know WHY? Why...

Los Angeles, supposedly the epicenter of creative culture, just doesn't appreciate good theatre; one of my many issues with "Tinsletown". It's a town that claims to be at the forefront of social devel...
