Dennis Hopper: homeboy is a fricken legend






I was ranting some time earlier about how I went to the Dennis Hopper expo and it rocked my socks off. I love how many different mediums of work he's into: film, photography, sculpture, mural, writing, sheesh... think he'd turn to mosaics and cave enscriping if he had the time. Even got into the graf scene in L.A.
It's all stuff I related to: love his photo's, love his paintings- some of them are GIANT portraits it blew my mind, and he can really paint.
I read he lived in Taos, New Mexico for a long time which made me like him even more. I went there about 10 years ago and never stopped thinking about the place. I want to move there for awhile someday and sleep outside with the stars, it's that kind of place. Sigh. I'm a dreamer. Thank god I still am.
Jeez I munched him, sounds like I wanna marry the guy!

I might just get up and....move to CHINA



In 4 days I'm moving my sorry ass self to China! That's right...it sounds like a joke, like it's the end of the earth or the furtherest place I could escape to. I guess it is in a metaphoric kinda way.
I'm gonna teach some english, eat some rice, master chopsticks, play some mahjong, smile at a little Chinese kid, ride a bike on a rugged road and make a new Chinese friend.
Oh and eat me some hot mumma chilli! yum yum.
A totally crazy adventure I am sure...definetely the polar opposite of my normal life's realities. Which is not such a bad thing- sometimes we need to yank ourselves out of the comfort seat and remember it's a big, wide world out there! This radical change of scene is an exciting prospect. Yeeeyaaa for adventures.
Time for some life-to-the-CORE moments...here goes.
Watch me, I'm falling...
