BooksA bunch... Just read A Whole New Mind by Daniel H. Pink... pretty interesting. I used to like Stephen King a life ago. Who Killed Hollywood by Peter Bart is a great book to understand why we've been watching so much crap on the silver screen for the last ten years or more.

About me:
..
Online Videos by Veoh.com
MySpace Layouts
After an unusual career as an independent filmmaker that started at the early age of 16, Ricardo Islas left his home country Uruguay, to come to America in June 1997, as he was invited by the Chicago International Latino Film Festival. Soon, he joined the staff of WYCC as a producer/director for the pioneer parenting Spanish TV show Nuestros Niños. Islas brought to the show and to other WYCC productions his technical experience, his story telling abilities, but most important, his human sensibility after growing up in a poor South American small town and going through all the ups and downs of his migratory adventure. Besides his career in TV, Islas has written, produced and directed more than ten length-features and two mini-series. Some of his productions have won international awards that have positioned Islas as a cult director in different parts of the world. ALL THE VIDEOS DISPLAYED IN THIS PROFILE WERE PRODUCED BY US (ALPHA STUDIOS) So if you want to take a look at them, you will pretty much get an idea of what we have been up to lately...

Don't you hate it when lame ass Rock bands from Chicago, whom you
foolishly befriended months ago, randomly appear in comment form to
invite you out to their inane shows as if they believe you're gullible
enough (you know gullible isn't in the dictionary, right?!) and/or
lacking in a social life to actually come hang? Me too. Good thing
we're not much of a band or this would be awkward! Awkward like the
first dance between two hormone raging teens going through puberty,
haha! Alas, it's us, Oui Si Only You, in our most impersonal social
networking form. Sorry to get you all excited to read your new comment
only to be disappointed like a jilted lover on prom night. It's not all bad,
at least we didn't do one of those weird, "Do you like me?" comments,
right? I don't think our fragile hearts could have taken the answer to
that one! Any who, we're rocking (I know, debatable right, but whether
it's master debatable remains the ultimate conundrum!) our last few
shows for the year out at a few splendid, unknown little Chicago
establishments called Double Door (1572 N. Milwaukee Ave; 21+) on Wed.
Nov. 18th at 8pm and Reggie's Rock Club (2109 S. State St.; 17+) on
Sat. Nov. 28th at 7pm. We could all perish happily . . . if that's
possible . . . knowing you came out and mocked our uninspired
/downright ignorant brand of music along with our A.D.D. riddled stage
energy. Peace face.

I hope this comment, aka 'Tankism' finds you well today. Enjoy and stay in touch. :)

When you wake up in the morning be sure to ask yourself, "Am I looking for LIFE to bless me today or to give me a struggle?"

MINDSET: it's the steering wheel to the vehicle that drives our lives. Which way you going today? :) Take care
