About Me

I grew up around DC, and now I'm hanging out here mostly with friends of mine from growing up. My real goal is to write fiction and screenplays full-time and become a "that guy" author. These days, it seems like you have to write more or less the same novel 154 times to become "famous", so I'd rather be a "wow, he wrote that? It must be good. I'll check it out" author, so movie trailers can say, "From the creator and writer of 'Quigley Down Under 2' and 'Why People from Iowa Smell like Hospitals'".Until that day when I can wake up at noon all the time, I'm always looking to hang out with quality people.

My Interests

Watching sports, being comfortable, playing sports (I'm not really a "runner" unless it's in some sort of game), making fun of people (good-heartedly, of course), basically good people, good fun, and the good stories that come out of it.

I'd like to meet:

Ernest Hemingway, Tom Robbins, Duke Ellington, Art Monk, Pele, Bill Clinton, McCain, Toni Morrison, any writer who's succeeded, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Jessica Alba, Amanda Beard, and anyone that has a good story.

Music:

You know when you see that "Monster Ballads" commercial on TV and wonder "Who in the hell would ever buy that crap?" Yup, that's this guy. I listen to pretty much anything, but I especially like songs where the bands are trying really hard to sound cool. Overall, I listen to pretty much everything.

Movies:

In no particular order: Braveheart, Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine, Shawshank, A Few Good Men, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Higher Learning, The Last Boy Scout, The Godfathers (I personally like 2 a little more than I like 1), all Rockys (even 5, to an extent, and especially 4), Indiana Jones (skipping Temple of Doom), Die Hard, seems like anything that has more than one sequel, Van Wilder, PCU, Can't Hardly Wait, Spaceballs, Kingpin, so stupid comedies and smart stories I guess. And there are more.

Television:

24, Nip/Tuck, Entourage, Lost, Family Guy, football (college and pro), Boondocks (more shows should mean something), March Madness, baseball/basketball playoffs, I watched hockey once, really getting into The Office and How I met your Mother too.

Books:

Faulkner, Hemingway, Tom Robbins, Steinbeck, lots of stuff

Heroes:

Anyone who does more than they should. This happens less often that it should, too.

Shipwreck vs. Trainwreck

Recently, a young lass named Neelaja unfortunately made the mistake of declaring a recent night a "shipwreck" instead of a "trainwreck". Yes, I'm sure that most of you use the word "trainwreck" in you...

Reality TV separates us from reality

Yes, I may be the only person these days that tries to avoid reality TV whenever I can. I know that I'm missing a lot of quality stuff, but there's something that has always bothered me about reality ...
