Insomnia. Wearin' my life right out on my sleeve, but keepin' my hand close so ya can't see the cards I got at the moment, then playin nothin like I had a pair of kings. Wakin' up in new places. Lettin' people I don't know sleep on my couch. The sound of ambient noise after dark. Thunderstorms so beautiful ya gotta shut up and just watch. Film. Photography. Music. Poetry. Art. Wonderin' where the fuck the art category is on the myspace page. Cookin gourmet shit outta stuff I get from the dollar store. Watchin God paint a sunset across the sky every evenin'. Rough and tumble girls with lots o' spunk and cool cats who like ta laugh and enjoy the times. Trying to redefine words to mean more to me than simple dictionary definitions. Being the dreams I want to be rather than just dreamin' 'em. Maverick Gunslingers, Lone Samurais. Rock-n-Roll Superheroes. Private Gumshoes. Tattoos. Laughin' Dancin' and Singin' cause it don't even matter.
My Muse. And then I'd tell her we have work to do. Much, much more work to do...!

Best thing in the Theaters right now:__________________________________________________It's a mad house fun fest meant to throw you back into the old glory days of grindhouse cinema where true independent arose. Go see it while they're still playing them together.___________________________________________________ ___________________________________ A classic I finally got to see. I love Vincente Minnelli and this is one of his absolute best. The 1950s where one of the most interesting and dark areas in American Cinema, and this film captures those undertones with a true grace a beauty, even if it does remain a happy Judy Garland vehicle.
I turned it off.It tends to distract me with stupidity.Right now I need to make things.
Just finished up "HARDCORE ZEN: Punk Rock, Monster Movies, and the Ttuth About Reality" by Brad Warner. Wow. What a treat. Come on, with a title like that, you have to at least be interested. Well, this is certainly one of the best books on eastern philosophy I've read to date and a funny insightful look into the process of pushing past all the bullshit of life and diggin right into the important part. LIFE. If you dig on eastern philosophy or wan t a fun insightful book on buddhaism, check it.
My pops told me you could tell almost anything ya need to know about a man based on who he aspired to be. Well I'd go with a bit of these two -- the characters, not the actors, although I dig 'em too. ..
