Think about this, it's almost 2012 and what if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about?

Lester Bangs: "The only true currency in this bankrupt world... is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."
(from "Almost Famous")

"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported." - David St. Hubbins
("This is Spinal Tap")

Andy Dufresne: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. "

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
- John Lennon

"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the Stars..."
- Sinatra

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
- Albert Einstein

I think it's important to be very curious. Curious about the world, the environment and other cultures. It makes the world a more interesting place when we open up to people, ideas that are different from ourselves. Life is so short..let's mix it up and laugh out loud together. I like to meet new people and explore new ideas.
...and it's cool to be silly too.

I'm very proud to say that as a single Dad, my 2 kids, one is in college the other attending University of Minnesota. High Five!

In the last few years I have traveled to The Bahamas and Belize, the most beautiful places to scuba dive and explore. Belize was the first place I scuba dived, it was awesome....especially the nurse sharks. I would love to dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia next.

One of my favorite music videos (I really like the lady playing drums):P

That's where I got the line, "That Boy needs Therapy" from.

Hardworking, talented, creative professional, looking for someone who loves to laugh and enjoys music, art shows, parties, and singing (even if it's just in the shower).

Open to someone who also works in entertainment field (networking).

One of my favorite movies is "Contact", with Jodie Foster. It makes me think of my time as an amateur astronomer and all time looking at stars in the night sky.

Jazz/Blues, Reggae, Latin/Salsa, Classic Rock or Funk/Hip-Hop/Soul, solo guitar - anything that feels good and makes my head nod. I really like the theme song for the show "Mad Men" by Rjd2 -

Sam & Dave - "I'm a Soul Man, Jimi Hendrix - "Foxy Lady", Toto - "Africa" - "Rosanna". James Brown (anything by J.B.), Massive Attack - "Mezzanine", John Legend - "Green Light" (great video too), Suzanne Vega "Tom's Diner" - DNA Version (great song to groove to in your office), Marilyn Manson - "Beautiful People", Dave Matthews Band - "Crash Into Me", The Police - "Roxanne", U2 - "One", John Mayer - "Belief", Sting - "Brand New Day", Adele- " Right as Rain", Massive Attack-"Mezzanine", Talib Kweli- "Get By", Incubus "Drive", Gary Jules- "Mad World", Pixes- "Where is my Mind", The Avalanches- "Frontier Psychiatrist", Fiona Apple - "Criminal", Marvin Gaye- "What's Going On" - (any song that James Jamerson is playing Bass on, Bob Marley- "Redemption Song", Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: are just some of my favorite songs on my iPhone 3GS -

Playing drums is my first love and now I'm learning to play the bass and guitar. I was inspired by Sting, James Jamerson and "Flea" to play bass. I love the show Seinfeld for the "funny" and the funky bass lines.

I have a challenging and creative job for successful television shows and I never want to stop learning to be better at my craft. It's a blast working on some of the funniest shows on television. I'm very good at what I do.

I'm passionate about my job, life and learning new things. I always find a way to win...that's why I love Sports - (Go Lakers!) and NFL - Brett Favre - Minnesota Vikings


Message in a Bottle - (Lyrics by Sting)

"Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah".


Favorite inner quotes:

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage." - Maya Angelou

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change" - Michael Jackson (RIP)

"Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?"

"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo" - Eminem

Have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, and start with some Avocado Eggrolls
(I will try to share them, no guarantees):p

Drive down PCH to Malibu or check out The Farmer's Market (The Grove), great places - a view, good food and a glass of wine or sake.

Roller coasters can really get your blood pumping (and bring you closer together)

Hiking trails in Griffith Park or visit the Observatory

The Grammy Museum - L.A. Live

The Improv or Comedy Store
