About Me


I am an ex-computer tech that has been pursuing a professional writer career for four years. Why change professions? To know the answer to that question, you must know that I am very passionate about intellectual TV, Film, and books. In other words, something that provokes thought or teaches morals. This was before TV reality shows flooded the airwaves. Back then, it was easy to escape from reality. Now, I and many others like me must turn off the TV to escape and that is sad. Upset about this fact, I decided to do something about it, rather than complaining about it. After all, I do live in the United States of America; therefore, I have the opportunity to bring the TV, film, and book industry not only a profit, but also a positive impact, which will hopefully place a little art back into the industry.

Since I’m a writer who is striving to turn professional, I’ve tried working full time while writing in my spare time, but it didn’t work out; I needed more time. I tried working part time, but again I needed more time. Therefore, frustrated from my lack of progress, I begin writing full time by exhausting my savings and sacrificing my credit. Then, knowing that I was about to lose my house, I gave it up by signing it over to my cousin. Thereafter, I sold all of my furniture in a garage sale along with my car.
Now, having stated that, you must think that I have lost everything. That maybe true from your point of view but not from mine. No one forced me to quit my job, sell my house, furniture, or car. I made the decision to give it up myself, and I don’t blame the president or government for my mishaps nor do I regret any of my past decisions. And I do not need or want your pity.
Although I've sacrificed material objects, I haven't sacrificed my honor or respect for others and frankly, I would rather die than do so. Sometimes a person must give up material things in order to receive blessings from God. Therefore, I know I'm going to succeed; I just don't know when.
I created this site not only to meet friends, contacts, and agents but also to advertise my writing or talent. So, if time permits, I would like for you to read twenty pages of my action animated movie script "Birds of May:Daring Days" or some other literature that I've written.

My Interests

Snow Sking, Swimming, Biking, Bowling, Roller Skating, Pool, Movies, Soccer and, of course, VIDEO GAMES!

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent people that I can trust!

Visual Effects Geniuses:

1. Douglas Trumbull - special effects genius number one.

2. Dennis Muren - Sorry Dennis, but Douglas has more experience because of movies "2001", "The Andromeda Strain", and "Silent Running."

Directors:

Michael Mann , Tim Story (I) , Joss Whedon , and although I know this is impossible because of his work schedule, I would also like to meet Steven Spielberg . Yeah right, like that is going to happen.

There was a time when I wanted to meet George Lucas , but the Star Wars prequels changed that.

Actors:

The actors that I would like to meet in person are Harrison Ford , Kurt Russell , Jon Voight , Val Kilmer , and Bruce Willis .

Also if any Hollywood actor or actress publically supports our military, as far as I'm concerned, they are a friend of mine.

Below is a Warner Bros. “Looney Tunes” script that I created using the character “Foghorn Leghorn”.

Synopsis:
Foghorn Leghorn creates Chaos at an old McDonald’s drive-thru as he orders a hamburger.

Below is a Warner Bros. “Looney Tunes” script that I created using the characters “Daffy”, “Sylvester”, and “Elmer Fudd”.

Synopsis:
Daffy and Sylvester (used car salesmen) try to sell Elmer Fudd an environmental friendly car.

In memory of:

Dave Donnely, Jim Justise, Walter Wade, Juanita Wade, Jerry Goldsmith, Lori Chauvers, Billy Frank, and Nathan.

Here are some Lightwave 8.0 models that I constructed.



The "E.A. Battleship" textures were created by "Pagrin" -- my artistic partner. Other works of Pagrin can be seen on his webpage at www.renderosity.com

Textures for the "E.A. Carrier" model were created by "CaptainMarlowe" -- my tutor. More of his work can be found at his website http://web.mac.com/captainmarlowe or his renderosity website: http://www.renderosity.com/homepage.php?page=3&userid=32 6167.

My goal is to create some space battles using my 3D models. The following video clips will provide you with an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.

I've been doing some audio and music editing. Although they are not perfect these mp3s, which are list below, should give someone an idea of what I'm trying to do. Check them out if you dare, LOL.

I was a brief baseball fan at one time. It was way back when Nolan Ryan was pitching for the Texas Rangers. Yes, at that time, I actually had an American baseball player to cheer for. This was when I had the luxury of attending a Ranger baseball game. Now, after several union strikes as well as several interesting observations, I look at attending baseball games differently.

I don't get it any more. First, the fans drive to the game, which costs money. Second, they buy tickets, more money. Third, they buy food and sometimes programs, money. Then finally, they sit in a seat and do nothing for two to three hours.

If they're lucky, they won't have drunk fans above them spewing their foul language or fighting with one another while purposely farting, burping, or vomiting near their kids. If they're lucky, it won't rain. If they're lucky, their team will win. If they're lucky, they might get out of the parking lot without getting side swiped by a baseball fan who is driving drunk.

Yes, I just don't understand why people attend baseball games anymore, especially now days when sport fanatics are so rude and cude. Now, image your baseball team losing and sports fans burping, farting, sneezing, booing, vomiting, cussing, along with stormy weather and a jammed parkinglot full of drunken fools, and you will understand this following mp3 file, LOL.

I am currently learning the art of video editing. If you dare, check out my one minute version of Star Trek 2. You could say that Khan's wrath is too much for his ship, LOL.
