CHRISTIAN'S CURRENT FAVES!!

As of October 10, 2006

What's in Christian's CD player?

John Boswell ... "Festival of the Heart" ... my absolute favorite instrumental Christmas CDs of all time!  (Yes!  I am starting early this year!  LOL!)  But do you wanna hear something funny?  I love this CD so much that sometimes I play it all year round.  You should see the looks on peoples' faces who ride with me in my car.  (Getting out of 100 degree humid Houston summer weather and then hearing, "Oh come all ye faithful" as the air conditioning is set to frantic!!!)  It is hysterical!

Anyway, I am a huge fan of this man and his work and I hope to work with him one of these days.  And interestingly enough, the same year (2000) that I took home the GLAMA award in New York, John was there getting one himself!

What is in Christian's DVD player?

I love a little known movie that Maggie Smith did for HBO a few years ago called, "A House in Umbria." 

Eat, Drink, Man Woman.  A great foreign film by the awesome Ang Lee, who also directed "Sense and Sensibility" and "Brokeback Mountain."

Song of Bernadette (Old Jennifer Jones movie about Saint Bernadette of Lourdes France.)  Yes! I am STILL watching this movie!

What is in Christian's VCR?

Tapes of old concerts I have done over the years.  We are thinking of making some digital files out of some of them and putting them on YOUTUBE.com for fun.

What's in Christian's cassette player?

Same ole same ole ... an old mix music tape I made 10 years ago.  It always makes me smile to bring one of these things out.  Listening to some of this music is like visiting old friends.

What is Christian's favorite music video?

I am enjoying the video's my friends are making.  I am especially proud of Jason and deMarco's # 1 video (on Logo) "This is Love."

What Book(s) are on Christian's night stand?

I have tons of papers that represent my upcoming book that I am slowly but surely editing.

What magazine and or book is on the coffee table?

Architectural Digest -- As Always~!

What is Christian's watching on TV?

My friend Kitten K. Sera is on the Lifetime TV show, "OFF THE LEASH."  Oh my goodness... that girl never ceases to amaze me or not make me laugh!

What is in Christian's microwave?

I am addicted to Lean Cuisine's Meat Ball Pasta dish!  The big size of course!  LOL!

Which Internet sites is Christian frequenting right now?

I am in Love with www.Rhapsody.com as it has so many of the songs I love on it. 

Who or What is Christian Inspired by right now?

I am inspired by a duo on Curb records, who are a set of identical twins who just happen to be sexually diverse.   Their name is Nemesis. They came out and have a TV show on Logo.  While I have yet to meet them personally, I am privy to hearing all about them from people we mutually know.   Anyway, they have had a long hard journey and I see that they are really trying to break thru.  That is not an easy thing to do in this world ... so I am wishing them all the best.

What is his favorite color(s) right now?

As usual my favorite colors are ever evolving, now I am into ... RED

What or Who is Christian talking about at lunch?

Lunch?  I am on a diet!

Who or What is Christian hoping everyone will remember in their prayers?

  • Please pray for a Spirit of Love to return to our war torn nation.
  • I pray that the war will end soon in Iraq and we can get our people home!!
  • That more people become Love aware and less reactive.
  • That sexually diverse people be treated FAIRLY and given the same HUMAN rights as everyone else!

Where is Christian hanging out?

Since I spent most of last year living at a studio, a friends house, a hotel or on an airplane in the sky ... all I want to do is stay home in Houston.

Who is Christian's NEW favorite discovery as recording artist?

*See what songs I cannot get out of my head*

What is Christian's favorite new movie?

Jamie and I really liked "The Devil Wears Prada."  I think Meryl Streep was just fantastic in this role.  She so could have overplayed the role, but she kept it real and man, oh man ... did she do a great job!  Ain't nobody like Mrs. Streep!

Who is Christian's favorite discovery/re-discovery as an actor?

Sir Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings/GANDALF, X-Men/MAGNETO) just amazes me.  He has the way about him where you just KNOW he really IS the character he is playing.

What song(s) can't Christian get out of his head?

Christopher Dallman - "Dragon Fly" - From his album, "Catch the Light."

Nemesis - "Your # 1 in Heaven"

Jason and deMarco - "Where the Sun Meets the Sea"

Jenna Drey - "I Told You So!"

Joe Hogue - "Dreamer"

George Michael - "Precious Box"

Michael W. Smith - "Breathe" - From his album, "Worship."

What is Christian excited about?

Getting all my entire catalog of music out to the digital market place.  We suspect that most of my official releases will be available Internet-Wide in the spring of 2007.

What project is Christian working on now? 

My book ...

What Christian wants you to know and contemplate: 

These are really difficult times for a lot of people.  There is a spirit of darkness and sadness that I feel that keeps on trying to bring our world down.  Some call it satan, some call it evil ... I think of it as "The Loveless Darkness."  It seems that so many are fighting depression. To that I say this:  PLEASE!!  Don't not lose HOPE!  Keep on Loving with all your Heart!  Bestowing Love (to ourselves and others) builds inner Light and that Light not only heals us ... but shows us the best directions to go in life!  Keep The Faith!  Don't Give Up!  Don't lose hope!   Ever!  And remember ... when in doubt ... LOVE ANYWAY! The dark and loveless energy will move on.  It always does.
