About Me


i'm a badass. i live off the fat of the land. i hunt animals w/ my bare hands and eat shit like leaves and twigs. i'm essentially ted nugent minus the heavy metal and the AIDS. what's that? he doesn't have AIDS? oh... well, shit...actually, all that stuff I wrote above is not true. i don't do those things; i can barely tie my own shoes.what's not bullshit:i moved from LA to NY in 2004. thought it would be cool, but apparently i was somewhat misinformed. i quit a high paying day job in culver city to starve to death in the streets of a city that is significantly colder and more expensive.i'm working as a bartender and musician, which really just means i work as a bartender and sometimes get to drink for free while nursing my ringing ears and dodging the occasional tumbler glass. i also find work as a writer from time to time - mostly for film and television (e.g. white men in seminole flats, mtv's jackass) - and as a freelance producer. i have a lot of projects in the works, but few that pay. universal just optioned one of my feature length specs though, so maybe it'll get made and i can buy a pair of shoes or something. i tell myself i'm laying the ground work - that soon, it will all pay off - but i think i may in fact be lying to myself. i play bass in a band called the velocet. we play what some might consider rock and roll and old people just call a damned racket. i've bitten off far more than i could ever chew.in conclusion, i'm 28 years old. i took a job i should have had when i was 21. i'm de-evolving as a human being. and yes, i am in fact exaggerating - though, i really don't dig on the cold weather. i could use a trust fund.oh and if you want to want to help support this starving artist, come out to a show on occasion (and don't ask me to put you on the guest list): www.thevelocet.com, www.myspace.com/thevelocet.ORDER THE VELOCET'S NEW ALBUM, "A QUICK AND DIRTY GUIDE TO WAR," BY CLICKING HERE NOW:or here, if you prefer:
