The practical matters of being a hero or a villain are always fascinating. Think about it. Imagine your Superman and your over your girlfriend’s parents house for the first time. You're of course a bit nervous, and so you have to poo. What do you do? If you drop one in the parents' toilet, you know your indestructible excrement is going to crack through the bowl like an egg on concrete. And

You may see life as one two-headed monster and want to run. But don't judge too quickly, you may find out that things are better than they seem.Last week I spoke at The 2008 Art Institute of California - Los Angles Graduation as the commencement speaker. It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of talented students and teachers there.Often, parents ask me about their kids that are interested about the

There is something special that happens on Christmas morning that only happens once a year. Simultaneously everyone pauses for a moment. Now for some that moment is for faith, others it’s for family, and yet other its just because everything is closed and there is no where to go. But take a drive in LA Christmas morning and it becomes clear by the lack of traffic; People are still and with

I have only been bowling about 8 times in my life. Its fun, but its not one of those activities that occurs to me to do out of the blue. But for 95 million people in the world, the art of rolling a ball and knocking down pins, is a regular hobby. Its strange, but understandable. It takes skill, it's social, and people have been doing it for around 2400 years. That's right! Its been around a

Back in the pre-internet age, the big department stores would send out huge meaty picture catalogs. I would awkwardly flip through the gobs of pages and find the treasure map I was looking for: The toy section. There were only about a dozen pages dedicated to toys and games and so I would carefully strategize as to which toy would be the best to request. Most years I wanted G.I.Joe's. Not the old

Sometimes the simplest forms humor can make you laugh through the most complex of situations..

Up until I was in the seventh grade, the majority of my wardrobe consisted of hand-me-downs from my older brother, Frank. My little brother Peter, would in turn get my out grown or unwanted clothing.Every once in a blue moon, Frank would let me borrow a shirt he still liked and for that day I would be styling! At the end of the day, no matter how careful I was, he would be upset that his shirt

Whenever I listen to Graffiti 61, my mind goes on a trip and I'm always surprised with where creativity takes me. Dominic Massaro is the orchestrator and one of my good friends. You can check out his music here:

Well we have sunk to the lowest depths of humor this morning. But you have to admit the title, "Just Plane Farts" is rather clever. When I was in elementary school, I had to find a poem in the library, memorize it, and recite it in front of the class. This would have been perfect..

I think everyone should have a belly-button chin with a bug inside of it! Maybe I'll make some chin-stickers so we can pretend we have one.

When I was a kid there were certain foods I dreaded. Black Licoorice (which I just learned to spell), canned tuna, and stew were a few of the culprits. But Cauliflower is different. It does not bad, or good. Its just like biting into a big bushy stick of nothing. I never understood why so many people serve it. Next time you go to a party, look at the vegetable platter. The cauliflower is always

What are Technical Directors? HistoryThe earliest Technical Directors are in the world of stage theatre. As theatre productions got more complex, things like lights, mechanical props, and sound became a growing part of the stage experience. The directors of these shows could not focus all of their time on these new technical aspects or they wouldn’t have time to direct the performance of the
