The World According to Jung

About Me

I dig art, film, sports, and life out of the ordinary....not too mention an ADRENALINE RUSH. I have experienced and/or experiencing class VI rapids, sky diving, a boxing gym in Watts, a marathon, two triathlons, two screenplays, acting gigs, writing & directing 2 short films with one being accepted into a film festival, being on team that competed in the 48 Hour Film Festival, Native American sweat lodge, DC punk scene, rock climbing, driving across America 2 times, living in Venice Beach, Corporate America, being a father of four, Africa, acrobatic flying and God. At work, they call me the ORACLE because of the supposed wisdom that comes out of my one liners. I have a great wife and great kids. In the words of Tony Compolo: "You are what you are committed to."

You Define Impossible

Movies

I just got back from watching the "Superman Returns". The action scenes were good but overall the movie was okay. There were some scenes where they really tried too hard to make it really emotional. T...

Goings on

I saw the movie The Constant Gardner on Saturday night. I reminded me of Africa, and I began missing it. Africa has been dismissed by the western world for so long. I don't know if the drug companies ...
