Karaoke ... Improv... who's game?

About Me


Well I was born in Boston, Mass moved 23 times my first 7 yrs of life then moved to Canada (for half a year) and then Austria for six. I lived in this really small town called Feldkirchen, it is in Carinthia, Austria. I went to a "Music Highschool" of sorts there (tho school works differerntly in Austria) Then we decided to head back to the UsA: Mom decided on Salt Lake City (hence the fact that I went to school there). I moved to NYC for half a year after the 2002 Olympics by myself ... totally awesome .... ran out of money back to SLC and then ..... to Scottsdale, Az.No not in any way military related.
If you are still reading this you deserve a bit more I suppose: I am a person that loves to have fun, hang out with friends, and make new friends. I love learning more everyday about everything. The thing is life is to short to sit around and do nothing. So the brain is always working why not have something profound to think about. I love movies and I dream of acting for the rest of my life.
If you still crave more just ask :)
Here are two great Quotes from Ingrid Bergman:
"I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say."
Ingrid Bergman
"It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying."
Ingrid Bergman

Books:

WEBSITE TO GO TO: www.3dbuzz.com (Daily News is awesome)

I recommend highly: Portrait of a Killer - Jack the Ripper Case Closed by Patricia Cornwell.

And if you are thinking of acting or are an actor -- READ (if you have not already) Audition by Michael Shurtleff. It is fantastic.

My favorite book on Animation is: The Illusion of life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston.

I got a book on Napolean for my Birthday that should be a great read. Also received not to long ago The notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinchi that should be awesome as well. From what I have read it is.

I like books on History, Crime, learning a craft (one that I am interrested in of course) and lots more. If you have suggestions let me know.

Heroes:

My Mom and anyone that stands up and fights for what they believe in or for their dreams.

Why

Why are the words so hard to say? What makes someone just walk away? Where will our eyes meet again? When will I forget the places we've been? How many nights do I waste dreaming of you? Hours are w...
