From my upcumming commentary (gay sex joke)...
Shakespeare says in his sonnets that “procreation” and “poetry” are the means to immortality so the same thing could be said by foundations, by plays, and other sources of literature and entertainment and news sources. Think about it. Matthew Shepard died in exactly the same manner as his fictional counterparts, and while taken from the world, he really isn’t dead because he lives on through...

From my upcumming commentary (gay sex joke)...
Ya know, there’s something wrong with a culture whose most prevalent, adored, idolized icons are pornstars. I’m not lessening pornstars as much as you think I am because in the gay community they mean so much more than just sex right?

Romeo + Juliet
So Life’s been fairly strict with me lately but I did get a chance to read Shakespeare’s Boy Actors and it was good (snarky in places too, loved that) so now I have a completely different perspective after reading that and watching - for the first time - the Baz Luhrman version of Romeo an Juliet. My new perspective is actually just back to my original, simple idea: keep everything in...

The Bodyguard Drama: When Women Protect Men →
There’s very little in this world that can make you feel as safe as a bodyguard can. Their sole purpose is to protect you, to ward off potentially harmful vagrants, and to take a bullet for you if the moment calls for it. And while one can imagine what a stereotypical bodyguard looks like, in

What's in a Name? (sticking with the Romeo and...
That I’d want to change mine? I’ll tell ya what, a history of not-so-great men/fathers. This being my last name. So in lieu of that I decided this year I was going to look into changing it to my middle but one yahoo answers search later I found this…this…I can’t explain it. But it’s this accidentally(?)/surprisingly(?)/shockingly surreal and poignant response....

A very nice article on boy actors who played women →
This is for my anon I pleasantly talked to on my Romeo and Juliet post. It occurred to me that after responding, people might think I’m talking out of my ass if I continue to not deliver sources for my information. Life lesson right? Anyway the article is fantastic. Here’s just one of my favorite parts.
Shakespeare seems to have enjoyed this complication, as he makes the boy playing...

How I'd Do Romeo and Juliet (on a bed, in the...
Since love’s in the air, why NOT talk about my goal to modernize Romeo and Juliet!
SO I WANT TO MODERNIZE ROMEO AND JULIET!
The plan is to stay absolutely truthful to Shakespeare’s poetry because I’m not nearly arrogant enough to think I can remaster the work of a literary genius at my age - except I can since this play proves, as my friend Kelly so eloquently puts it:

Jan 29 - Feb 4
While not being of the written variety, this past weekend I took on the added project of recording a program a very sweet woman I know does to teach kids about the original Country Mardi Gras. So why don’t I SHARE THE LOVE!
Oh God. I am in fact Reed Richards.
I’m not…I’m not even going to give this TIME right now, I have so much to do but God, when I get my next moment to be breathless and just…concentrate on re-analyzing myself I swear I’ll have found a deeper level to my current life.

James McAvoy Quotes
Daily Telegraph
“Michael Fassbender is incredible, and really strong—and sexy.” McAvoy added that he and Fassbender decided to work out the textures of their on-screen relationship to give the film heart and make it “more than an action movie.”
