Brad

Life is far too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

About Me

The loves of my life are my daughter, Taylor and my fiancee Marcia. Taylor lives with her mother (and stepfather, baby sister and a new baby brother and her dog Lizzie) in Atlanta. I try to get up there and see her every other weekend. I get to see Marcia every day 'cause we live together. She loves and supports me so much, and I love her for it. I am an aspiring screenwriter. I'm close to the screenwriter part because I've actually written a screenplay and entered it in a contest. I also paint murals on the side. Hopefully, I can begin to eke out a living doing those things and move closer to Taylor.

How very slacker, indeed!

I posted how I was going to do a better job of staying on top of this blog...in the middle of April! Go me! It's May 30th. I have been busy, though. I've mainly been working on my screenplays. That's...

How very slacker of me!

I have been a bit of a slacker when it comes to this blog as of late. And, as you can probably imagine, my tax forms are sitting next to me as I type. They are filled out, which is quite an accomplish...

It's coffee dammit!

Starbucks should have an express lane. Not an "espresso" lane, because that would be gay, but an express lane for those of us who know what we want before we walk in the door. They could issue a card ...

LaFave -n- Dick

So, Debra LaFave got off. I mean in court. I hope she got off while she was fucking her little boy toy. It would seem a shame to flush your career, not to mention your marriage, down the toilet and...

Burnt.

Sebring. Wow am I worn out. Twelve hours of racing, seven or eight hours of sun and a solid fifteen hours of being fucked up. I still feel like my head's in a bowl of Jell-O. And, I am sunburned. I...

Mayday...mayday...

Comedy can be a humbling experience. More precisely, forgetting what you are going to talk about and missing most, if not all, of your punchlines makes it doubly so. Oh well...I've got until tomorrow ...

Exciting!

Very exciting indeed. I'm getting ready to ship a couple of copies of my screenplay to a friend in California who is doing coverage of it as part of an interview to get a job with a fledgling producti...
