About Me
Anthony Campanella is not only one of seven sons in a large Italian/Catholic family trying to act somewhat normally in the insufferable confines of Los Angeles, traffic-choked and smoggy that is it is, he is also quite thin. Poor boy, I don't think he eats enough. It must have something to do with the vast amounts of toxins he consumes on a nightly basis at the local watering holes. He was born, as stated, in Los Angeles, by an oppressive set of parents, into the dreary existance as the 5th of 7 boys, each nastier than the other. It was from this state of ill-appreciation and abuse that he escaped to the cosy wilderness of Oregon to experience, in all of its forms, rain.He now resides in Portland, Oregon. A poet, a painter, a skilled musician, a mountain climber, and a person who can speak 6 languages fluently all live near him. He shares his home with a real beauty named Marina. I'm not kidding! This girl is gorgeous, and smart as a whip too! It bogles the mind how some guys get so lucky. They have a cat named Buster, who is black and white and has a minor Oedipal complex.Unfortunately for Mr. Campanella, he must leave this earthly paradise five times a week to perform menial tasks for a ridiculous fraternity that calls itself a distribution company. He earns decently enough, but secretly dreams of pursuing the career he has always wished for since childhood -being a pirate.Many people think he is a real nice fellow but, truth be told, he is abominably rude, tiresome, decadent, paranoid, and possibly losing his marbles. He may be the yougest person ever to start going senile. All day long he complains and sticks his tongue out at old people and children. He smells a bit like burnt popcorn and has gigantic hands and a small head. He has a fondness for film, doughnuts, coffee, tea, fancy cheeses, and music performed by drug addicts. He enjoys a good drink with a particular fondness for Irish whiskey and Guinness. In fact, he has spent entirely too much time in bars. He is a Libra which means he can't make up his mind about anything. He loves to sleep, although he doesn't do that quite as often as he should. Mr. Campanella has composed six novels, four plays, and an Oscar-worthy screenplay, none of which he has actually put down on paper. He plays the guitar and the Alpine horn and likes to hide in chimneys. He has a fear of penguins and feels that apes are the greatest comedic actors the world has ever known. He also likes to lie about himself in personal profiles in order to make himself sound more interesting.
