Women are tough… I don’t pretend to understand women- Cormac McCarthy

About Me

My name is Bill Wetzel. Ok, I am mainly a writer nowadays. I had a book out a few years ago called "The Acorn Gathering: Writers Uniting Against Cancer." http://acorngathering.gq.nu/ I have also written for Red Ink Magazine and the Arizona Daily Wildcat. I do have an essay on Blackfeet Indian author James Welch currently out in the Studies in American Indian Literatures series. I also have a video degree. Here is my imdb profile. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1168436/ I have directed a music video and worked on a few other projects here and there. I think video and film wise I'm just looking to write some screenplays and dabble around like that. Back in the old days I used to ride bulls and was a wrestler. I have competed overseas and was pretty serious about wrestling. I also spent a few years as a high school coach before I decided to go to college and do something artistic.

My Interests

Brian Griffin - Never gonna give you upPolitics, reading, writing. Sports. Pro Wrestling. I'm a big MMA fan. Solitaire. Gorgeous, intelligent women. :)"Sundown" by the incomparable Gordon Lightfoot.

I like old school 70s stuff a lot. I like anything good in all honesty. I'm well rounded. I think the state of songwriting nowadays is pure shit for the most part.
