About Me

Read an article about what I have been working on
It seems like going out a lot is like losing track of yourself, kinda like watching movies in trailers, or reading romance novels on your shift at the convenience store, or smoking pot on your lunch break, or taking a lot of ectasy and playing video games, or soma, or becoming a PR person, or marrying a billionaire or becoming addicted to reality TV. So I guess going out is the least dangerous option. I used to be an actor, now I'm a filmmaker, and writing fiction has become my addiction. Sometimes I use too many commas. ,,, I'm still working on "manners". I'm a nerd with bravado, kinda like the kid from Rushmore. Read my articles
