Well... just moved to L.A from Dallas. Loving it. Isn't it 75 and sunny where you are? Ok, ya know what? Fuck this rain! 5 days in a row? Come on! I've done Seattle already! Ok then, not necessarily in this order... movies, music, reading, writing, sleeping, dreaming, loving, learning and laughing at it all. Whole Foods, hiking at Runyon Canyon, Manhattan Beach, playing bass and guitar and writing bad songs, drinking coffee, the Interwebs, science, technology, alternative medicine, social dynamics, human potential, self-actualization, spirituality and healing, quality in all things, experimenting in the kitchen, drinking the good stuff when I can, hanging with family, close friends and the elusive Zoom kitty, trying to find more moments of Zen... "takin' her easy for all us sinners."
“ Beings is an intense, roller-coaster of a ride.
It must be stressed that this movie is not for the
faint-hearted. A well-made, thoughtful production
that isn’t afraid to take chances and take the
abduction puzzle down a seldom traveled road.â€

So many great films. I'm such a fan - and it's my work. Lately it's been anything that makes me laugh. For your consideration... WALK HARD - "You don't want no part of this shit!" BORAT! Just see it. Then see it again. The Big Lebowski - probably my all time favorite comedy. Anything with Will Ferrell - Talladega Nights, Old School, Wedding Crashers, Austin Powers, Zoolander, Anchorman - currently my most quoted film, seriously. See it or I will fight you! I love just about everything from the Frat Pack, Woody Allen, Monty Python, Mel Brooks, the Farrelly's, anything with Bill Murray, anything written by Charlie Kaufman... What the Bleep? Quantum Edition - some great info here. I recommend this for anyone searching for answers beyond all the dogma. Also watch The Secret, then quit pretending you're a victim of life. Of course, all the great directors - Kubrick, Coppola, Scorsese, Welles, Hitchcock, Fellini, Godard, Polanski, Bertolucci, Speilberg, Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, David Lynch, Michael Mann, Tarantino, Rodriguez, Linklater, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Guy Ritchie, Spike Jonez, Ang Lee, Sam Mendes, Danny Boyle, Michel Gondry, Gaspar Noe, Fernando Meirelles, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu... Special props to the editors - Walter Murch, Michael Kahn, Pietro Scalia, Thelma Schoonmaker, Paul Hirsch, Jill Bilcock, Stephen Mirrione, Dody Dorn, Christian Wagner...
30 Rock, Nip/Tuck, Flight Of The Conchords, House, Deadwood (we pray for your swift return), John From Cincinatti (what? monads? you don't get it?), Entourage, Sopranos (Yes, I'm the one who actually liked the ending), Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rome, Dirt, Las Vegas, 24, The Office, My Name is Earl, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Chappelle, Top Chef, IFC, Sundance, PBS & gotta say FUEL right?
I tend to be drawn more to non-fiction - psychology, philosophy, spirituality - Eckhart Tolle, Ken Wilber, Robert Pirsig, Frank Tipler, Neale Donald Walsh, Deepak Chopra, Lao Tzu, Robert Thurman, Benjamin Hoff, Wayne Dyer, Napoleon Hill, Esther & Jerry Hicks, Ram Dass. I am currently re-reading "Story" by Robert McKee.
