Music, Movies, and Books

So many movies. All kinds. I'm a cinephile and mentally organize Film and TV chronologically by year of release. You can give me a year and I'll tell you my top movies of that year. I can go on and on, but I wont.

So much music. All kinds.

Favorite Books/Plays:
The Stranger, Albert Camus
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Junot Diaz
The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger
The Color Purple, Alice Walker
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Edward Albee
Stephen King

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove cross country USA, from Los Angeles to New York City, with all my wordly possessions packed into my Saturn. It took me 60 days. I made friends and worked odd jobs along the way. It was so amazing.

Also, I went sand boarding in Namibia and it was scary for a few minutes before I jumped off that sand dune on a piece of cardboard

Teach, Learn, Share

“I wanted to be a part of it any way I could, and so I knew I could do this. I think I could do it well. In order to do it well, it’s gonna be very difficult. But if I do this and I can do it well, then I will be a part of this thing that I know is probably one of the greatest things that exists…Which is that moment when a quorum of people on the planet are in one room and they actually, as a unit, are experiencing life together…And when it actually happens, when it happens to you, you are in search of it the rest of your life. If I can do it well, I want to be a part of what that is, because there’s nothing better than that.” -- Philip Seymour Hoffman
