Take the World On Full Force & Never Hold Back!

About Me



I am all about being able to accomplish anything that I set my mind on. I refuse to give up. That's just me.
First off... I'm a Jersey Boy @ heart, But I'm a Floridian now. I love living here in FL, but my nature is to Travel. I want to try to visit as many places as I can before my time here is up.
And NOW...:
As I take a look back on the years, I wonder how I ended up here? It's interesting, and I find everyday that I learn something new about the world and even more so, about myself.
I took some time to revamp my thinking and now I believe that things are falling more in line for me.
I try to stay positive about many things that I do and I want every venture to be successful. Some are & some are not, but such is the way of Life.
Take a moment: Everyone should do this every so often : Just sit back, think about all the things you want and then think about the things you can do right now to make it begin to become Reality.
Okay.. Now I'll Move On:
I'm an Actor and I've been a performer all my life. I really couldn't tell you anything else that I would want to be doing with my life.
I love film, music, stage, art. I am a true Bohemian.
Any spare time I have, I spend it writing. Scripts, song lyrics or just in a journal I'm keeping.
The Journal is for when I get so old that I am wearing Depends and only eating Jello. At least I'll have an exact recount of my life written by my hand. (even if I can't read it)
But anyway, with age comes wisdom and I am not fearful of Age. No one should be. With Time comes Wrinkles & with Wrinkles comes the ability to scare small children without Consequence!

Heroes:

The Dalai Lama
-
He is amazing.
I had the pleasure of meeting His Holiness in September of '03, in NYC. He is just a powerful presence and I am greatful for that moment.

My Grandmother

After an abusive Husband, 3 daughters of her own and many hard hours of work in her life, she takes on the challenge of another child at an age when most retire. That's something most mothers wouldn't do for a daughter that treated them like shit.
My Grandmother raised me well.
Looking back, we really didn't have much...but she never let on. I really wish I could make up for all that time, but she passed away in Dec. '03 from a combination of Alzheimer/Dementia & Nursing Home Neglect.
Now I just have to make her proud by doing what I love and letting her be there every step of the way.
