I'm college educated & have worked in several industries. However, I don't believe that means much in regards to a person's intellect or ability. I constantly look for ways to learn. I enjoy thinking about many viewpoints and evaluating them, comparing them and considering them. I am fascinated by the passage of time, the change of meaning and societal trending over time, and the recognition of cause & effect which is existent in everything that happens in the world.

Head On (1998)
I've watched it over and over again thru the years..
Sexy, gripping, gritty! Loved it. A realistic portrayal of the club scene at the time! What I felt throughout the film was a dull inner pain in AD and PK, but not from self-loathing, instead from what we all find incredibly painful, the notion of disappointing our parents. What's so cool about Dimitriades and PK's characters is that they still knew they were doing the right thing in the way they lived their lives, they understood the hypocrisy & knew ultimately that to be happy, they had to be true to themselves. AD says it at the end. AD is the most beautiful man i've EVER seen, to this very day. I have yet to see I'm more beautiful face than Dimitriades. No other celebrity or person I've seen in the street, from school, from work will ever be as beautiful and sexy as that man. It kills me watching him in this movie sometimes cuz I want to kiss him through the TV!!.. So this makes the movie EVEN MORE entertaining and exciting to watch! #ALEXDIMITRIADES - You are THE MOST beautiful man I've ever set eyes on, & that's just the truth.
Not Carol (2019)
Excellent documentary about something not discussed enough
I do not blame Carol, of course I don't. I am not one to ever write negatively about anybody. I am from Los Angeles originally myself, and my father is Mexican, from East LA. I just need to say this: Rudy, the father of these three little girls, clearly meant well as a provider, etc... But I couldn't stand listening to him talk because he just spoke in slogans/idioms/expressions? What was he even talking about? I'm not sure if he's just repeating these figures of speech because he had heard them used by other people, or if he truly understands what he's articulating..The reason this bothers me is that it seems he feels that he is all knowing and has all the answers. Not helpful for Carol! I just found him to be repulsively self centered. He seemed completely removed from the reality of what was going on and reality in general. He is overly simplistic & not a very big thinker. And why does he have to talk with that wannabe cholo accent? I can't stand hearing that! It's one thing to speak in a certain way because of language difference. I am not being racially insensitive in any way. As I said, I spent my whole entire first 24 years of life in LA, and my community was mostly Mexican American. I am familiar with many East LA dialects and lingos, and by no means am I suggesting that any way of speaking is superior or inferior to another. And I understand that all communities have their own slang and that's fine! But I'm not referring to his language or speech, it's all the forced intonation he creates around his speaking for absolutely no reason. It's fake. It's completely fabricated in an attempt to sound like he's TOUGH. But it just makes him sound like a wannabe gangster, and like he has no original ideas, even if perhaps he may indeed. Something about this intonation these wannabe cholos use, I do remember being a kid and at one time I thought it was so cool and tough sounding, but it's like think for yourself! Be who you are! Have some original thoughts and express them! Because he clearly speaks perfect English! It's not like I'm picking on someone who doesn't have a full grasp of the language. I would never do that. I do feel for him, he seems so lost, but I think he could prevent this if he opened his eyes a little bit. He's not a kid anymore! CLEARLY from what everyone said about Carol, she was not someone to start an argument, she was quiet & reserved... she wasn't going to say "hey help me out Rudy!" And what is it they said that he was mad if the babies would wake him up? What the heck? Because it was going to make him tired for his big day at the swap meet selling his auto parts supplies? It's just annoying that he was not more helpful to Carol and I think that this would not have happened if he had been a bit more supportive and a bit deeper of a person, with more of a realization about the state of being that other people are in, especially his own wife.! All in all I do feel terrible for the entire family and these things are so horrible of course. I feel for Carol the most. I can say at least that Rudy doesn't seem to be blaming her, nor does he seem like he is mean/angry toward her. So that's a positive thing. But he's not sharing in this punishment. I don't know Carol but I would have been very frustrated if I were her, with a husband that just spoke in slogans that he repeated from hearing them elsewhere, without sounding like he had any understanding of what he was saying! Lord! Aside from postpartum psychosis, a man like that would make you feel lonely and like you didn't have any support very quickly! Of course this is just my opinion.
