Capricorn

My name is Josh. I do not like to be tickled. I have a love of garden gnomes and fridge magnets.

I believe that Art is a verb - a private action that happens to a performer or audience. I believe everyone should own a pet, unless allergic. I believe Crash is the worst, overhyped fick in film history next to Titanic; trite and embarrasing. Life is too short to argue over stupid things. For instance, "Crash" winning Best Picture. Expectations are the main reason most relationships fail. Wake up with wonder and prepare to work. American Life in the 70's, 80's and 90's were the greatest decades in American history - 'cause I had so much fun!! I cried during the ending of "Independance Day". I make good cd "mixes". Listen to a guy named "Bright Eyes/Conor Oberest" he's incredible. I like the name "origami" better than I like origami itself. My lives goal is to make the world a better place in little ways everyday I can. I wish there was another Shakespeare. I want to know your secret, but I'll never ask. I finally "got" Madonna. Nicole Kidman's accent in The Interpreter is flawess. Someone I know really loves Lindsay Lohan, but I could care less. I believe in Magic Realism. I've had a secret obsession with a 40 minute yoga rountine for 5 years that I got from a DVD. I kiss my cats aprrox. 500 times a day. I need new jeans. Judi Dench is my favorite actress - for consistency. My favorite male performance remains a tie - James Dean in East of Eden and Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day.

Catching up with old buddies and making friends with new ones. You know, Pals. Sitting under the stars with a bottle of wine soaking in a moon tan wasting time talking about existence.
