A Wild Action Ride!

When you’re ready for a wild film experience, Wonderland, starring Val Kilmer is a must see!  I personally own this film on DVD and I consider it one of the best action flicks in my collection!  This film has everything:  Action, Drama, and the amazing TRUE story of legendary “Porn King” John Holmes!  Click the Amazon link below to order your own copy of this insane movie.  Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed!  Is this Val Kilmer's best work??? You decide!

Are You Broken???

I just finished watching the film Broken, starring Heather Graham, Jeremy Sisto, and Michael Goorjian.  I think the film is excellent because it provides a look at a person who is truly struggling with a drug addiction. Hollywood can be intensely interesting when they are offering you a glimpse at TRUTH.  The final scene in the film offers a vision of peace and serenity for anyone who has experienced the mental exhaustion an addiction causes.  The final words of the film should be listened to, memorized, and cherished!  Kudos to Heather Graham, Jeremy Sisto, and Michael Goorjian for their fantastic performances.  Click the amazon link below if you are interested in ordering Broken for yourself.

Is Scientology a Fraud???

I recently read Tom Cruise An Unauthorized Biography, and I was surprised to find how much information was included about the inner workings of Scientology.  If the book is true, then Scientology is definitely a cult.  I read in horror and amusement of the silly crap that goes on inside of Scientology and their cult like structure.  I also read about their pathetic creationist myth and their ridiculous way of exorcising the body of bad spirits.  The whole mess seems like a good way to get money from celebrities.  I guess celebrities really do live in LALALAND if they believe in this crap! 

I highly recommend Tom Cruise An Unauthorized Biography.  The book is not just about Tom Cruise but about the inner workings of Scientology and it provides an amusing and horrifying look at the cult group.  Author Andrew Morton has done an excellent job of shedding some light on the controversial subject of Scientology.  Click the Amazon link below to order your own copy of this bizarre book!

An Intense Crime/Drama Action Film!

As an Action/Crime/Drama, Kiss of Death starring David Caruso & Nick Cage is excellent!  Maybe one reason why this film is so good is that it is based off a 1947 film noir classic.  David Caruso plays a very serious and sometimes humorous role as Jimmy Kilmartin and deserves a lot of credit for an all-consuming performance.  Nick Cage serves up a hilarious & gorilla like performance as Little Junior Brown!  This is a gritty New York crime drama with great performances from Ving Rhames and Michael Rapaport as well.  I own this film on VHS and have watched it several times over the years.   For any fans of crime movies, this is one you definitely want to check out!  I have included a link to the Amazon DVD if you are interested in purchasing this wild film noir update.   

The Essential Primer for starting an Information Age Business!

I personally own The 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss and I have pored over the book for several years.  What you must know about this book is that its crowning achievement lies with the CONCEPTS discussed and not the actual way that you are going to apply these CONCEPTS.  The book originally was released in 2007 and was updated in 2009.  There is a lot of information on Google Adwords that I tried to apply and could not make it work for my situation. 

In any case, the book is revolutionary and one of the first of its kind because it can give you a new viewpoint on creating an Information Age business.  Information Age businesses are different from Industrial Age businesses and can be started by one person sitting in their underwear at their computer.  Millions can be made! 

Again, this book is vitally important for the CONCEPTS discussed.  You will have to go through the hard work of figuring out how you will apply these concepts to your situation.  Trial and error will be involved.  The book provides the conceptual framework to get you thinking in an Information Age mindset.  Read this book now or be stuck in the economic Stone Age forever!  Click the link below to purchase the book on Amazon.

The Amazing life of rapper Tupac Shakur!

For a detailed look at the astonishing life of rapper Tupac Shakur, the film Tupac Resurrection is a must see!  His life is hard to believe, but the truth was more incredible than the fiction!  For a Visual Artist like myself this film offers an incredible & inspirational look at a revolutionary rapper.  If you are interested in purchasing Tupac Resurrection, I have included the Amazon DVD link below.  I own the film on VHS, and I treasure it! 

 

Filling In Those Pesky Resume Gaps!

As a Visual Artist, I've had more than my fair share of problems with employment and jobs.  In fact, there have been times when I have been unemployed for multiple years at a time!  So what did I do???  I chose to FIGHT THE POWER, and you can too!  If you've got a creative bent, you can easily start a website selling your artwork like me.  What this does is provide an employer with PROOF that you have been doing something useful with your time.  There are many websites now that offer print on demand services where they will pay you a royalty for your artwork and designs.  I personally have used www.cafepress.com since 2008.  Another great place to start would be www.zazzle.com.  Both these websites can get you up and running quick with a website featuring your artwork on a variety of products.  Then you can tell an employer to shove it up their ass if they even think about questioning your work history, because you can provide them with that all important thing called PROOF!!!  If you would like to get some ideas for your own cafepress shop check out my newest website, Jazzy Home Decor & Accessories. 

Another idea I have for you is to create your own blog.  The best thing you can do with a blog is provide information that would be helpful to people searching on the internet.  On my blog, which you are reading right now, I provide book reviews, movie reviews, information about my artwork, and anything else interesting and fun that hopefully can provide value to readers.

Let's face facts, the job market has been in the toilet since Obama took office in 2008.  The job market sucks because we are in the Information Age and employers, corporations, politicians and the general population are stuck in the fucking STONE AGE!  The internet is providing vast opportunities every day for you to FIGHT THE POWER!  Let me know how you are using the internet to create your own Information Age business.  Let's FIGHT THE POWER together! 

Great Non-Fiction Reading!

One of my favorite non-fiction books of all time is Travels by Michael Crichton.  Probably nearly everyone knows that Michael Crichton wrote Jurassic Park, but Travels is not nearly as well known.  Crichton went to medical school before he became a writer, and the first part of the book deals with his medical school training.  I found this part fascinating because you get to go behind the scenes of what it would be like to be in medical school, as well as what it would be like to be a doctor. 

The book also deals with Crichton's journey of self development.  He talks about many of his trips to remote destinations all over the world.  Some of these stories are filled with excitement, while some of them offer life lessons.  He also discusses his experiences with psychics, meditation, psychology, and other forms of inner travel. 

On the whole, I found the book to be fantastic.  It's very interesting, as well as educational.  If you're a reader, this one is definitely worth checking out!  Click the link below if you are interested in purchasing Travels on Amazon.

The Fierce Warrior Lizard King!

     I designed my Lizard King Art Coaster to honor the fierce warrior Lizard King!  Lizard King was actually born in El Salvador.  His father was a great hunter and he would hunt for fish, insects and mice.  Unfortunately, Lizard King's father died when he was just a baby.  Lizard King's mother was called Mama Lizard.  One dark night Mama Lizard had a strange dream just a few weeks after Lizard King's father died.  In the dream, a Spirit Lizard told Mama Lizard that her son was going to be a great warrior and the king of all lizards!  She was told to bring her son to the South American Rain Jungle immediately, so Lizard King and Mama Lizard hid in the basement of a large ship and were transported to South America.  In the South American Rain Jungle, Lizard King and Mama Lizard stayed with a fierce tribe of warriors deep in the Amazon.  They taught Lizard King how to make a spear and they taught him how to hunt for mice, insects, fish, and other creatures.  Lizard King became a great hunter, he was very swift and had an incredible amount of natural ability!  The tribal warriors soon knew that Lizard King was very special!
     One night the Amazon tribe and Mama Lizard were roasting some game around the fire.  They experienced a tribal vision inside of the fire!  The Spirit Lizard was back and he told the tribe that Lizard King and Mama Lizard must go to the African Jungle immediately!  There was a group of lizards in grave danger and only Lizard King could save them!  The Amazon tribe built Mama Lizard and Lizard King a small boat and sent them on their way to the African Jungle.  When they arrived in the African Jungle, Lizard King fought valiantly to save the group of lizards from an attack of rats, mice, insects, and other creatures.  He saved the group of lizards and was named worldwide Lizard King for his bravery and fierce combat skills! He lives deep in the heart of the African Jungle to this day, along with Mama Lizard, and he rules a fierce tribe of combat lizards committed to protecting their land!  He is a fierce and brave warrior, and he is honored by all lizards worldwide! Commemorate the bravery and hunting skill of the Lizard King with my colorful & unique Lizard King Art Coaster! 
   

The Perfect Wall Street Gift!

As a Visual Artist, I love film and one of my favorite filmmakers is Oliver Stone.  I really admire Stone because of the fantastic films he has made over the years.  In 2010 Wall Street 2 came out and I was blown away!  The film gets into the dark side of greed, human nature, and the stock market crash of 2008.  The part of the film when the mayhem of the crash takes place truly got me pumped up!  Both the original Wall Street and Wall Street 2 are great films and I have decided to commemorate these films with my wacky Greed Is Good Tile Coaster!  This is the perfect Wall Street gift and is  great for anyone who loved the Wall Street movies!  It is also a great gift for Wall Street traders!  Remember to show your love for Gordon Gekko with my silly Greed Is Good Tile Coaster, and don't forget to check out Wall Street 2! 

A Gift for Preppies & Yuppies!

What the hell was the thinking behind my White Bread Funny Coaster???  To tell you the truth, I really don't know!  This coaster would be perfect for a preppy, somebody like Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell.  If you know a preppy, give them this tile coaster to tease them!  Also, this coaster would be perfect for a yuppie that is anal & obsessive compulsive!  Give them this coaster so they won't be so anal & uptight!  This is the perfect coaster for getting boozed up & loaded!  Smoke a large spliff & enjoy some heavy vodka with my White Bread Funny Coaster!  Sometimes the best thing you can do in this life is throw your hands up in the air and GET NUTS! 

Macaw Snake Tile Coaster

Here's what went on behind the scenes of my latest design I call the Macaw Snake!  I am a lover of National Geographic magazine and I have an issue in my room featuring macaws in a South American national park!  I drew a couple of macaws, but one of them had the body of a snake!  OMG!!!!  So I decided to call this strange creature a Macaw Snake! The macaw snake is a mythical bird spirit that protects all the birds and snakes on the planet X! (Insert your own special planet name here!)  Support the mythical macaw snake with my Macaw Snake Tile Coaster!
