My Latest Read - "Trust No One"

"Trust No One" by Gregg Hurwitz was a great read.  Political conspiracies, murders and corruption at the highest levels create a plot with twists and turns that is enjoyable to read and difficult to put down.

There is a cool tattoo also "Trust No One" in asian characters.......sounds like it could be my one and only tat!

Japanese: 信頼誰も

Chinese: 信任沒人

33rd Portland International Film Festival

OK, the 33rd International Film Festival is here in Portland, OR.  I've never been to one, have no money for such entertainment, nor am I interested in watching films I can't understand either by language or plot. Who the hell likes sub-titles?  Speak English damn it!

But I know there are plenty of new age, tree hugger, yuppie types that go to such things, so I'll mention it here.  Pretend your in Caines or Sundance....here is the link. http://festivals.nwfilm.org/piff33/

Yawn!
