Orson Welle's Mom's Wish for his Birthday

Never stand in the shadows. You are made for the lights. 

Now you must blow out your candles. 

But you must always remember, 

the cake, the light itself is nothing. The flame, the lights that is where your future lies. 

You must have a dream. A great dream worthy of you. 

It's beautiful and this will be my wish for my birthday every year. 

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring" ~ Marilyn Monroe

Break-ups

“Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that. So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.”

Blake Lively

Nella Fantasia...

In my fantasy I see a fair world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of a place to live that is always free,
Like a cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

In my fantasy I see a bright world.
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

The most sensible--or, depending on what you thought of The A-Team movie--most alarming response came from Kyle Buchanan. Writing at New York magazine's Daily Intel blog, he argued the clip was definitive evidence that Cooper--whose other notable roles include playing the bad guy in Wedding Crashers and Jim Carrey's best friend in Yes Man--is our Cary Grant.

"Over the last few months, Cooper has proven his versatility (in Limitless, which was a bona fide sleeper hit that he carried on his shoulders), his smarts (he's writing the script to Hyperion, a sci-fi novel optioned by Graham King), his humility (he's said that as much as he wants to direct Hyperion, he doubts anyone would let him, and he launched a self-effacing bid for the role of Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby through the New York Times), and his charm. He's been a great talk-show guest no matter which language he was speaking, and for his current Esquire cover story, he even prepared a stuffed-squid dinner for the journalist interviewing him. It almost seems too over-the-top — can a male movie star really be so charming and guileless? But why not say oui? After all, George Clooney can't do it all by himself."
