Writing has always been second nature to me. And being a writer seemed cooler than being an accountant or a marketing exec. So, there you go. I've tried to write in a "serious" manner but that usually ends up one of two ways, epically bad or not serious at all. The thing is, no matter what I do, I can't help but throw a bit of humor into the mix. Because what's the point if you're not laughing, right? Which brings me to celebrated non-writer and all-around wit Fran Lebowitz. I don't know much about her to be honest. I haven't read Lebowitz's book of essays "A Metropolitan Life," but after watching the new documentary about her, Martin Scorcese's "Public Speaking," it's next on my list. What I gleaned from this doc is she's a rebellious, outspoken, opinionated, intellectual, at times insufferable, character with a capitol "P" Point-of-View. A real broad. And there's really nothing I like more than a real broad. Besides peanut butter. And Clive Owen. Check out the documentary if you can (it's on HBO). Watching it is like hanging out with the coolest, most original person you've ever met. Truly one-of-a-kind.
