I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Well, let's see. At some point- born. Currently- living. And one day- dead. That is me in a nutshell. LOL...j/k...ok a little more in depth- I could sit here and give you the typical BS "About Me" section, but I won't. That just wouldn't be me. You know, the neatly packaged: I love life, I love my family, I love my friends, I love to laugh, I love to have fun, blah blah blah. Yes, all those things are true, but way too cliche, incredibly vague and overstated, and really tell you nothing. I am me. No, that's not all I could be, but that is all I want to be. So here you go. Have fun.I am an aspiring actor. I have been in 5 movies and one TV show (October Road) thus far. I am also a musician. I was formerly the lead singer in a Christian rock band known as Overdrive. I have two passions in life-music and acting. My philosophy on life is simple: Don't let it pass you by. I refuse to play the conventional game of society that includes going to school, getting a job, and working for 25 years so I can retire and sit on the front porch and wonder how life could have been different. One shot. That's all you get. And when it's gone, its gone. My biggest fear is reaching the end of my time on earth and wondering "what if". I have dreams and aspirations just the same as everyone else that has ever existed. The difference is, I am going after mine. Yah, sure, I may not make it. But even if I don't, at least I won't leave anything on the table. Our dreams are constantly on the forefront of our thoughts for a reason. I plan to make mine a reality.Other than that, I consider myself a fairly laid back guy, quick to argue my point, but slow to anger, unless justified. I'm very easy to get along with, as long as a mutual respect exists on an elementary level. I do what I can to help people, but sometimes feel helpless in certain situations, which is a horrible feeling. Contrary to popular belief, I love conversation, but only when it is constructive and meaningful, and seemingly more so with girls than guys. I have a cynical, sarcastic, sometimes dark sense of humor, and I try to see the "funny" in everything. I tend to more of a "glass half empty" type of person, but only to eliminate setting myself up for dissapointment. After all, life is rarely ever a fairytale!I have a hard time sleeping without a fan blowing in my face, whether its hot or cold outside. I am borderline obsessive compulsive with just the right dash of ADD added for flavor. I tend to allow passion to dictate my decision making process. Im horrible at planning-rarely do I ever have anything etched into stone further than two weeks in advance. I get bored very easily. I actually think I love drama. I'm a sensitive person, although I have built up a deceiving front that portrays otherwise. I suffer from enochlophobia, unless I am the center of attention. I always pull for the underdog. Rags to riches success stories crafted through honesty and hard work inspire me more than anything. I thrive on the doubt of others. Nothing gives me more motivation for accomplishment than for someone to tell me I can't. I've always wanted to hunt for treasure, Indiana Jones style. It would be awesome to find an old map and follow it, like on "The Goonies". I love adventure, although such experiences are few and far between. I would probably trade a million dollars for a big adventure.Oh and I love strawberries. Especially dried. The problem is, you can't find them anywhere. Until now....a friend told me they had them at Publix. I went. Sure enough, they had them. I am that much happier now. See, they are fat-free :)I have a beautiful and wonderful girlfriend, Bennett, whom I love very, very, very, very much! She is exactly the type of girl I have always envisioned myself with....and I am so glad I met her!

My Interests

Acting, music (writing and singing), sports, good conversation, good arguments, laughing, the outdoors, good food (especially Italian), family, adventure....the list could go on, but these are the basics....the essentials if you will.....

I'd like to meet:

Myself in 30 years. Im curious to know what I would look like and how I would act. But more than anything, I am curious to know how I turned out. If only life had fast forward and rewind buttons. Or even if we came complete with an eraser on the tops of our heads.And it seems the majority of people put Jesus here. I would beg to differ. I don't think the majority would actually like to meet Jesus, because they wouldn't like what he had to say, and would probably spontaneously combust from shame.

Books:

Honestly, I have plans to become a bit more well read. But this remains to be a really stupid section, and Since it is....I am changing it......it is now the "quote section"...So here is mine: Life is crazy. But if you are crazier than life, it can't touch you"

Heroes:

My parents. Never have I ever met, nor will I ever meet, two harder working, more dedicated, and more loving people. The sacrifices they have made to make my life easier are awe-inspiring to me. And my future's success is party fueled by the desire to repay them and make them proud. I am completely blessed to have had the parents I have. And I will never forget that.

Read between the lines :)

How insanely releasing and quixotically rejuvenating would it be to be hypnotized "Office Space" style?  Seriously?  How Utopian would it seem to simply be released from all hindering, happy...
