RIP: JD Salinger

I started reading JD Salinger as a teenager for high school English.

Then, I moved to NY and I realized the Fanny and Zooey typify life as kids and family in New York. I always felt like the movie the Royal Tannenbaums channeled how JD would have seen life as a movie. Kind of quirky, kind of cool, but also very dysfunctional.

Catcher In The Rye was the quintessential book of disassociation, but I highly encourage you to read all of his work.

You will be missed.

I Have A Dream: Hate Still Persists, And The Message Still On Point

In honor of MLK day, which is a day of service where I work, I thought I would remind everyone of the famous "I Have A Dream Speech". Take a moment to think about all the hate that still is in the world, and do something about it today. And everyday. One man or woman can make a difference.

Watch It: Archer On FX At 10pm On Thursdays

What happens when you spoof the work antics of a James Bond like character, but make him more of a drunk, less of a moral character, and he has serious mommy issues? Well, you get Sterling Archer. He is the main character on the new FX series "Archer".

When you take the comedic talents of Aisha Tylor of Talk Soup, Chris Parnell of SNL and 30 rock, Jessica Walter of Arrested Development, and Judy Greer, you have something well worth watching.

Check it out, you can watch episodes here . It only started last week, so you can catch up in the time it takes to make a big sloppy dirty martini!

RIP: Miep Gies - Anne Frank Hider

Miep Gies, the woman who hid the Frank family passed away at 100 today. She risked her life to do what was right. Not many people can say that. She was a hero, and someone whose example we could use more these days.

I challenge everyone to do something selfless over the next week or so to show tribute to such a wonderful woman.

I have had a chance to see the home in Amsterdam, and what is more amazing is how they stayed hidden for so long. Anyone who has strong spacial relations could tell that the top was not accounted for. It is a staggering place, and a reminder of horrible days that could happen again if people choose to ignore the past.
