A glimpse into my happy thoughts.

Mercenary

2. Prologue
A wise sage told me that
people don’t hire resumes, they
hire people.
Another wise man taught me
that true creativity comes from
being vulnerable.
I feel that a person is a
collection of their experiences,
interests and fears.
Here are mine.

3. Art
I’m a strategist/
planner that likes
to draw. Sue me.

4. Music
MTV’s the devil.
First they killed
rock-n -roll, then they
strangled hip-hop. It
amazes me how willing
people are to accept
the orders given to
them.
Talent has been
redefined as: gimmick,
look and niche.
Music is in a recession. My Ipod Right Now:
Wale
The Rat Pack
Thelonius London
Mr.Hudson
The Doors
Charles Hamilton
James Brown

5. Cinema
Movies are my escape.
I prefer films that force
me to close out reality.
Give me a story.
Surprise me. Intrigue
me. Make me wonder
what I missed the first
time I watched.
My Favorites:
There Will Be Blood
Snatch
Boondock Saints
Delirious
The Count of Monte Cristo
Wicker Park
Harlem Nights
Kung Fu Panda
Casino
The Man in the Iron Mask
