About Me

alt="MySpaceI was brought up right and that means that it's not polite to talk all about yourself. I'm an actor and a writer and I live in Toronto Canada. I love Toronto. I sometimes improvise and I am in the middle of writing a book. And if I was stuck on a dessert island with only one or two food selections for the rest of my days i'd take fried chicken and greek salad with tons of feta.

My Interests

Bea Arthur, leprechauns, unicorns, gold.

I'd like to meet:

A real live unicorn. Or a leprechaun. Which one has the gold? Yeah, no the leprechaun. Or Bea Arthur.

Music:

Almost anything, but I have a hard time with country.

Movies:

I love Sofia Coppola, I enjoy Charlie Kaufman's writing like no other, I'd like Martin Scorsese to win a damned Oscar.

Television:

Ug, it's embarrassing, but I'm trying to be honest. I love American Justice, City Confidential and Cold Case Files. There. I said it. But I also love Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood (RIP Deadwood), Rome and The Office.

Books:

Jill Soloway, David Sedaris, Margaret Atwood, Steve Martin, Kazuo Ishiguru, Chuck Klosterman

Heroes:

David Bowie, Bea Arthur and Superman.

Ghost town

Wow. It's quiet around Myspace these days. It took me a while to get around to wandering across the hall to check out Facebook, but over I went and that's where everyone is. For days, my good friend (...

Spring

Destiny?

I can't believe the Bears lost the Superbowl. I'm no football fan, in fact I'm allergic to football. But when a team hasn't made it to the Superbowl in twenty years and they lose it reminds us...somet...

I've been neglectful.It's deep winter now and I'm dying for spring. I have that snowed in feeling that would come with or without snow really. At this time every year I feel like I'm just waiting out ...

Nothing specific

Christmas is closed.

I noticed today how abruptly Christmas shuts down. Walking today, I must have seen nine or ten trees out in the garbage along with pointsettas and wreaths. Now I would like to make it quite clear that...

Down Time

I love the holidays because I consider this time 'enforced relaxation'. I'm eating too much, I'm staying in my pyjamas way longer than usual, I'm watching lots of movies and hbo tv series, I'm writing...

What the season is really about.

Okay, it's getting close to 'Gifty Time', which is my new PC name for 'The Holiday Formerly Known As Christmas', and I've accomplished nothing. Nothing other than to tell everyone else what I would li...
