There are 30,000 days in your life. When I was 24, I realized I'm almost 9,000 days down. There are no warm-ups, no practice rounds, no reset buttons. Your biggest risk isn't failing, it's getting too comfortable. Every day, we're writing a few more words of a story. I wanted my story to be an adventure and that's made all the difference. | | | | Li'l Zé becomes a gangster in "City of God." 2002.

| In the spring of 1979, a small-budget movie with a somewhat corny-sounding name was released in just a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles, only to be pulled a few days later due to concerns that audiences would riot. Based (loosely) on a true story about suburban youth gone wild in the suburbs of San Francisco in the early 70s, "Over the Edge" would never receive wide distribution. | | |

| From the 1950s through the 90s, Fairfield County, Connecticut, was home to many of America’s best cartoonists and illustrators—the men responsible for “Beetle Bailey,” “Little Orphan Annie,” “Hägar the Horrible,” and countless other comic strips.

| Is the world more easily "outraged" than it used to be? I don't think so, but then again, there's no real way to tell. I think maybe the media is just getting better at making us all feel like the world is little more than a collection of 7 billion whining people-organism-things. | | |
