. A member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he contributes occasional guest columns for Deadline.. The glitz, the glamor, the unparalleled show of all shows. Getting to experience the majestic beauty of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The stunning cocktail gowns and tuxes. To say I was intimidated would be an understatement as I had never been anywhere this stuffed with important and famous people.
During that meditative/lonely week I tasked myself with two goals: 1. Write a list of goals. 2. Read two “thinker” books. I quickly and confidently chose two titles that were staring at me from the bookshelf:by Khalil Gibran. Writing a list of life goals presented a tougher challenge but I spent the first day successfully brainstorming with no limitations. The result included the outlandish , the aspirational and the achievable — but amusingly, my first one to tackle was to ride a unicycle .
With each day, the readings offered differing philosophies — “And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair,” and “To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world…” — propelling me into each night, where I started to feel my cycle-confidence growing. Then it clicked. I was gliding around like a pro. And as I rode around the roof like a dog unleashed, I noticed my voyeur friend watching again – but this time I wasn’t falling.
