Other

Let me know if I have missed a substance and I will add it. Check first that it's not a street name for one of the others.

tao te ching

The Tao Te Ching (pron. daodeching) is upwards of 2,500 years old and the identity of the author has never been established with any veracity. As much an eternal mystery as an eternal font of humour, good sense, wisdom and sustenance the way we get the book is as interesting as the book itself in many ways and reflects on western interpretation of eastern thought.

Plumbing the Depths of Wellness #2

Like the irresponsible fool I seem so adept at emulating I always saw an easy solution to the inevitably of a carefree and all too often careless life in the lyric to that iconic song by The Who which went; "Things they do look awful cold, I hope I die before I get old." Repeated over and again to the accompaniment of friends and loud guitars it took up residence in an adolescent mind and failed to dislodge after post adolescence had set in.

Requiem for a Dream

"Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connelly. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Hubert Selby, Jr., with whom Aronofsky wrote the screenplay. Burstyn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. The film was screened out of competition at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival." (Wikipedia)

Dead Ringers

From Wiki; "Dead Ringers is a 1988 psychological drama film starring Jeremy Irons in a dual role as identical twin gynecologists. Director David Cronenberg co-wrote the screenplay with Norman Snider; their script was based on the novel Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland. The film is very loosely based on the lives of Stewart and Cyril Marcus."
