Profile Information

Hometown:: Detroit

About Me:: Art Aficionado/Step-dad/Social Butterfly/RN/Lover of good toasts to friends new and old

All Time Favorite Movies:: Mad Dog and Glory: Directed by John McNaughton (Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer). Beyond a funny performance by DeNiro who plays a wuss, this is about a lonely man who is a civil servant but wishes he could express himself. I loved the conversation between Murray and DeNiro about Civil servants v. artists. DeNiro admires them for their courage to take the risks he's afraid to make. Murray considers them spineless socialites who create their own world so they don't have to face reality. I loved this film because its been a reflection of my career and my ambitions.

The Half Nelson: A powerful film about how we get stuck in the cross roads in life. Ryan Gosling brings it as a public school teacher/aspiring idealist who nurses a crack habit. He befriends a student who weighs selling crack v. sticking it out after her brother went to jail. I loved this film because life never resolves itself. It's one day after another in a monotonous cycle. The soundtrack is awesome...the Broken Social Scene is one of my favorite bands and completely captures the mood of the film.

The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner: Before Chariots of Fire made sure that fuckin song annoyed the shit out of use, this was the film that inspired it's conception and cinematography. The story revolves around a kid who finds himself in Juvenile Delinquent correctional facility. When the warden finds out this kid has a talent, he milks the publicity for all its worth. In the end, this is a film about a man alone with his thoughts, his demons, his regrets, and his sole desire to finish the race. This is a film about finishing what you started.

I am doing pretty shitty actually. The crazy bitch I rent from, is a liar and is having her house foreclosed thus, I have to move out, by the end of the month. Right now we have no place to go and it kinda blows. On top of that, I have so much grad work to do as the end of the quarter is coming up. I Hate California I cannot say that enough.

omg gossip girl is sooo annoying.

At 9:40am on November 11, 2009, JugseyMalone said…: I'll defenately look up those photographers, it's always good to have a wide range of artists (images) to work form. As for the movies, i think Men who stare at Goats look well silly, i think the funniest scene will be the bit where the goat falls over from the trailer. And 2012 looks like a movie based on how much special effects you can get into one film, if the storyline/characters are good it could be pretty alright, but from the trailer it looked a bit pants.
I hope you and the crew have a great time, have a drink for me :) xxxxx

I still haven't seen 5movies that want to watch, its mounting up :S i might have to get the DVDs when they come out. ah well. But i tell u what, me n friends can't wait for New Moon to come out, its gunna be a rite laugh! if it's as bad as twilight was then it'll be money well spent, we pretty much laughed the whole way through. (we're hardcore twilight sage fans; the books only).

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I put my glove back on and walked out I realized I had left it in there. So I waited for that person to come out and it was gone. I was so sad. I had to paint a ring green for then next night.

Sorry it took a while to respond, I've been recuperating from the party, and been thinking bout taking a break from all this online socializing. I need to go outside more. Happy belated Birthday, you know I always celebrate John Lennon's birthday, always do something special, play his songs, now I have another reason for opening that bottle of wine. ;-)
How was your Halloween!! My Halloween was fun, a girl got arrested, because she keyed an exBF car because he was staring at my boobs, now how was yours?

At 10:02pm on November 1, 2009, Stephanie said…: hahaha, thanks.

I worked hard on making it good. I was taking photos of the process and I didn't really like it at first. I just needed to add more blood. hahha.

Dripping blood on your face is a must for everyone.

My halloween was awesome! besides being a sick I turned into a real zombie by the end of the night.

How was yours?
