If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

About Me

Nothing to say really except I enjoy spending time listening to music, watching movies, hanging out with my friends, going to concerts, and watching sports (especially LSU sports). I work in Movies as a Locations Manager... it pays the bills. Perhaps when I have repaid the government and the banks for my student loans, I may decide to return to academia in search of a Master Degree in Film and/or Business. Until then I wander the earth in search of locations (and a deserted island for myself).

My Interests

Music, Movies, Art, Sports, Politics, Philosophy, Religion, News/Media, Business, the dynamics of the universe, and the capability of the human mind.

I'd like to meet:

Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, Orson Welles, Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Claudette ColbertI edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics

Television:

I'm not big on T.V., so I tend to mostly watch sports when I have time. About the only channels that I watch at home are ESPN, IFC, Discovery Channel, TLC, and the History Channel.

Books:

Between working on different movies and doing research for my screenplays, I don’t find myself reading anything for fun any more.

So I'm making a pilgrammage back to the place where my life first began, back to the story of my past and perhaps a part of my future as well.  It seems no matter where I go or what I do, the gho...

Enjoy the fireworks, grilled food, and adult beverages with perhaps a little bit of debauchery on the side.  Remember that your forefathers would have wanted it that way.   We'll b...
