Music:
I Sang Rock and Roll for years during the 70's 80's "Hollywood Scene" ... Played gigs with Van Halen, Quiet Riot, etc. We were all "Local Guys" then. So ... Rock is the thing. Like the new Alt stuff a lot. Faves:, BONNIE BRAMLETT, !!! (You're listening to "The Queen of Blue-Eyed Soul" right now), Delaney and Bonnie, (Bonnie's band with her Ex), Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Mavis Staples, Alanis Morisette, David Bowie, Ian Hunter, Mott The Hoople, Marc Bolan, T-Rex, ... AND, Randy Rhoades, of course. Shall I go on?
Books:
Ulysses, by, James Joyce. Why? Is there another book? ... Oh, ok ... if I must ..., "Awakening The Buddha Within", by, Lama Surya Das, and, "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying", by, Sogyal Rinpoche, Also, "Bleak House", by Dickens is the funniest damn thing ever written.

Activities:
theatre, directing, acting, writing, singing, meditation, (with the 5 Tibetan monks who live near me ... is that kewl or what?)
Sports:
Movies:
I was an actor for 40 years, so anything with great acting: Any, Ingmar Bergman, (RIP), Angels In America, (Greatest American Play of the 20th Century), Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, The Quiet Man, (Sappy, huh?), Dog Day Afternoon, The Godfather, (2 is actually BETTER than 1), The Other, (only because it's one of Uta Hagen's two movies), and anything with, The Marx Brothers, especially, Duck Soup, ... then, the FUN stuff: Anything by, David Cronenberg, ... LOVE, Scanners, and, A History of Violence, to name just two, Suspiria, (Love Dario Argento), Army of Darkness, (Raimi is a crackup & Bruce Campbell is a hoot), ALL the Corman/Vincent Price movies, especially, Pit and the Pendulum, AND the great, Masque of the Red Death, ... it ain't Poe, but then nothing is. IDK ... I'll die before I list all so I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead ... probably add onto this list.
TV:
I don't have TV. No aerial reception here in Big Bear. I hate the cable. Have a satellite system, but haven't had it hooked up in more than a year. I have a great wide-screen digital sound theatre system ... and all I watch are dvd's.
Heroes:
James Connoly, Thomas More, Judy and Dennis Shepard, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Peter O'Toole, (For being both Irish and dessicated for soooo long), and, Randy Rhoades, (miss you, Bud).

Too funny
Hi, I was reading through the blog entries and your first sentences really made me laugh. I can empathisze as I need to work on procrastination and time management skills. Best of luck!
Good Choice
I LOVE YOUR FACE! and I believe in you
You are a most remarkable man....one who inspires and teaches through his example. Some of us took a little longer but I don't know ANYONE who is taking as long as you. Not an insult, just an observation and yet, I believe that you may just outdo everyone else in this program with your tenacity and drive....you are committed and willing to do what it takes. I am going to look for your blogs and read what you have to say every single day! I am inspired by your honesty and willingness to do what it takes.
You are funny.
You just cracked me right up. Stay w/it. I've been here about 40 days, but have been missing days in between. Hang in there. You can do it. Oh yeah, thanks for the laugh.
It's not about yesterday!
Hi Steve,
You are doing great! You recognize your obstacles in your behavior, you are making a decision to move forward. There is no judgement and it's not about yesterday.
Let's move forward today and make this happen as best as you can. Along the path you may encounter setbacks and more obstacles, just keep getting back on the path and move forward as you can. As you do, you will get past setbacks quicker each time and you will gain strength and get new results.
Congrats for being here.
Cheers!
Devlyn
