Movies
There isn’t enough room on this site for me to truly pay homage to my all time favorite films. So this is just a "off the top of my head" list of films that I watch pretty regularly. Shawshank Redemption ~ Imposters ~ Big Night ~ Batman Begins ~ Superman ~ Rebel Without a Cause ~ The Exorcist ~ The Hustler ~ Se7en ~ Citizen Kane ~ Young Frankenstein ~ The Sting ~ Vertigo ~ Casablanca ~ Duck Soup ~ Taxi Driver ~ anything involving James Bond or Indiana Jones ~ and of course anything with the words "Star" and "Wars" in the title
Television
Too Many To List - thank god for DVR
Books
It would be impossible to list all the books that I love or that inspire me or are simply great fun to read. So... what follows (in no particualr order) are the last 14 books that I've read: The Magician and the Cardsharp - by Karl Johnson ~ The book of Secrets - by John Carney ~ Secrets of the Sideshow - by Joe Nickell ~ Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception - by Eoin Colfer ~ Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - by JK Rowling ~ Invisable Monsters - by Chuck Palahniuk ~ Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell - by Susanna Clark ~ Rumi: The Book of Love - translated by Coleman Barks ~ Fortune's Bastard - by Robert Chalmers ~ I, the Jury / My Gun is Quick / Vengence is Mine! - by Mickey Spillane ~ Anansi Boys - by Neil Gaiman ~ Positively Fifth Street - by James McManus ~ (not to mention several hundred comic books and graphic novels
Heroes
My Sister: because she's the strongest and most compassionate women I know ~ My Dad: because he will leave this world a little better than when he came into it ~ Mickey Spillane: because nobody can write a story like he can ~ and of course… Batman: because he can and always will be able to kick Superman’s ass
About me:
..
Hi my name is Nelson and, first and foremost, I am a man in love. It's funny what you can find when you're not looking for it. Rubie Fizz is her name and burlesque is her game and she is perfect for me in every way that counts. But don't take my word for it... go to www.rubiefizz.com to see for yourself. In fact, we just got - for more on that bit-o-news go to www.kellieandnelson.com As for me... I am an actor/magician and the blood of the world flows through my veins. I love being a magician I am truly living my bliss. I read (voraciously), I write (cathartically), I watch television (religiously). I can dance, I can cook and I can play pool with the best of them. I'm smart enough to know that I don't know every thing and dumb enough to think that one voice can change the world. Sometimes I'm silly, sometimes I'm not - sometimes I'm serious, sometimes I'm not. I have a blog but it's not here... you can go to www.nelsonlugo.com to read all about magic, me, Rubie and life in general...
Who I'd like to meet: People who are "in the know", "with it", "savvy", "hep to the jive". Those who "get the joke", "are really in step", "see with eyes wide", "walk with open and bruised hearts". Dreamers who get things done. Movers that know the power of stillness. Crazy people... but NOT the bad kind of crazy like: Manson or Hitler... but the GOOD kind of crazy like Picasso or Einstein. I'm looking for idealists and romantics in a bitter and jadded world.
