About Me

Striking (in all senses of the word) Writer in Los Angeles. Hard working, sure it's all worth it. ALL! My smile is progressively growing more crooked (in the lips, not the teeth) as time passes - I guess it means it's relaxed. Maybe. Birthday book is pretty accurate about me if you want to look it up - Sept 10 - The day of private goals. I truly do wanna get to the four corners or the world, and will make this struggle a priority to overcome - travel is expensive after all. I'm in the wave now in my writing where I'm more likely to write about the recent past than the distant past - and I'll add some cockamaney thing like telekinesis to the mix - ya' know - for realism. As such, I'm churning good product and I'm relieved that new ideas spring daily. Bless our respective saints. I'm never boring - and that means what it means - never. The internet is starting to run in the ink for me a little I think. People and gossip and news sort of bleed together to one long black stream of conciousness - much like this rambling (if you've rewarded me by getting this far.) Oh, but the perks - they are there in spades. The day is always got through with aplomb. Join me. Good hearts all.

So Bad it’s Magic - Alpha Dog

ALPHA DOGThe through line to most so-bad-they're-magic films is the air of ambition and quality. It's not much fun to sit around and bag on awfulness like Dane Cook and Chipmunks because their aspira...
