Mercy!

For those about to Barack, We Salute You!

About Me


FYI Upfront: I do NOT accept friend requests without an accompanying message. Even if you think I know who you are. It's the equivalent of knocking on my front door, and when I open it, staring at me silently without a greeting or an introduction. Rude. Anyway.....
Right now I am shooting a feature film that I wrote. Yes, kids, you too can do it! In fact, do it right now! Get out there and Do It, I say!
And in general.....
When everyone's sitting around Talking about doing something, I'm the one who actually makes it Happen. You wanna get shit done, I'm That girl~ ;)
"It is never 'too much'; it is only 'not enough'! Bite your teeth into the ass of life, and drag it to you!!" - Big Night... "What do you do for work? Bite things?" - the Indonesian mountain guides. Yes. As a matter of fact, yes I do. "The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous." -Margaret Fontey... "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." -Lao Tzu... "You can do and have and be things that people once told you were impossible for you to do and have and be." -Morris Goodman... "Keep those feet movin' or somebody might steal your shoes" -William =) ... "If you're really sexy, you're allowed to annoy people." -Guatamalan guy on ecstasy at the Dresden (please picture him saying this whilst Marty and Elaine provide soundtrack... priceless!)... "We like to call you The Gentle Dominatrix" -girl who takes my yoga class, speaking on behalf of a few of the regulars. I'll own that! =) ... "Everything melts, and then you get flowers." -old Russian saying (according to my Russian facialist)... "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." -Q(tm)... "Keep them guessing, and keep them gagging on your individuality. LIVE, BITCHES!!!! There's only one you." -LimpWristed... So true... "You try too hard, is that the answer to the riddle? Instead of doin' so much, why don't you do just a little?" -Tribe Called Quest... And my new favorite quote: "I, like God, do not play with dice, and I don't believe in coincidences." -V For Vendetta
I am endlessly fascinated by people in general! Drunk people or stoned people, however, I find pretty tedious. They're hilarious for about ten minutes (witness the Guatamalan above), but then I get Really Bored. I love Originality, kindness, humor, and Courage!
For some reason, I seem to attract monkeys and midgets, no one knows why. For you astrological types, Aries rising, moon in Scorpio, so it's fire on a lake, kids, fire on a lake. I benefit hugely from some Earth to ground me.....
And deep in the core of my being, I believe that Music. Makes the People. Come Together...
Oh, and one more Very Important Thing:
You Are a Night Person
For you, there's nothing worse than having to get up and moving early.
In fact, you probably don't hit your peak until well after the sun has set.
So if your struggling to make it on a normal schedule, realize it's not your fault.
You just weren't meant to do anything during the day! Are You a Morning Person or Night Person?

My Interests

Speaking truth to power. Through humor ;)

Trenches Studio Trailer
..

My new series! Watch:
And check out the trailer for this pilot I shot in May! I'm eeeeevil ;)
TRENCHES TEASER TRAILERLaughter. Dancing. Shocking people. Costume parties. Creating stuff. Crazy crazy yoga. Seeing and hearing things I've never encountered before. Moose, reptiles, Great Danes, benevolent sea cratures, furry land creatures, laser hair removal, and Mae West (the woman AND the snake). The kicking of ass and the taking of names (in a peaceful, loving way...). Courting infamy, avoiding ignominy, and shedding ignobility. All forms of spirituality that don't require exclusivity. Burning socks with my brother. And speaking of ass kicking:

Mercy encounters Ken
