Recent stories by and about James Mathias

Why I want to meet Neil Young

His words find me.

Why I want to meet Conan O'Brien

He’s the real deal. A true entertainer. I never fail to laugh my ass off while watching his show. I would love the opportunity to be in a position to turn down Letterman and Leno, to be on O’Brien’s show instead.

Why I want to meet John Lennon

Unfortunately, any chance to meet this man passed long ago.

However, if I were given a chance to have met him, I would have thanked him for changing my life. His song “Watching the Wheels” made such a huge difference in my life.

I owe John a beer and a thank you. Maybe I’ll see you in the next life.

Why I want to meet John Cleese

I just want to thank him for “Faulty Towers”, and his small—but brilliant—part in “Time Bandits”.

Comedic Gem.

Why I want to meet Johnny Depp

Mostly because he’s the only dude I openly find attractive, and he’s crazy talented, I’ll watch anything he does, and I’ve yet to be dissapointed.

Why I want to meet Joss Whedon

Cause I’d like to kick him in his head and yell “Shazaaam bitches!!” and then further explain “That was for f-ing up season 7 of Buffy and dropping Angel on it’s ass without finishing it up properly.”

I would not actually kick him, but damn Joss, what’s the deal with f-ing up your own projects, you got a real love/hate thing going with yourself.

Why I want to meet Quentin Tarantino

I’m not 100% sure I actually want to meet him, I mean he is a cinematic genius for sure, and he’s got an amazing imagination and great follow through on those thoughts, but on the flip side he seems very annoying, almost like I’d end up telling him “Get the fuck outta my house.” He just gives off that “never leaves on his own accord” vibe, not unlike Jon Bowers.

Why I want to meet Oprah Winfrey

Because I believe she is a robot or at least half robot, and I’d like to reprogram her to give me her favorite things.

Why I want to meet Terry Pratchett

I’d ask him to please put chapters in his next book. Seriously, it’s quite annoying to have no clear stopping points.

Why I want to meet Christopher Walken

Cause he’s a true talent, and he makes me smile.
