Scott P!

Sometimes the universe bends to my will. Those are the fun days.

About Me

..

Who me? I'm Scott P!. Above all else I love stories and arguments. I like to entertain and I like to be entertained. I love games of all sorts. I'm a hopeless romantic and a realist. I like logic and emotion and how they sometimes work together and often don't. I think that we shouldn't be afraid of the dark parts of our psyche. I like the way people interact with each other and how they're different..
I like to talk to people about the Future of everything. Where it's going, what it's doing. I can be dark and cynical at times, but I'd like to think there's alot of people trying to make everything a little better a little at a time. I like people to make comments on my blogs. I like it when people tell me I'm wrong so I can come back a few days latter and have a better argument for why I'm right. Of course, I'm not always right, but then again neither are you.
I do work in the film industry as well. Ranging from electrical/grip work, PA work, to casting, writing, and Directing. I like to be a jack of all trades when it comes to film because... really, it is the coolest job ever. My dream job. Making MOVIES People! How is that not the coolest job in the world? Tell me and I'll make a film about it.
I say we all strive for the things we love to do, to be the people we're supposed to be, and to not take the bullshit unless it's a trial for something of greater personal importance.
I heard about the Meyers-Briggs Personality types and I tend to agree with alot of them. I'm a ENFP (Also a Champion Idealist) which explains alot of my blogging. check is out: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html.
I'm on MySpace to meet people who want to work with me, everyone else on my friends list are people I know and have met in person. If you seriously want to be my friend, meet me in the real world, for I'm much more likely to be a responsive friend and coworker.
A fish trap is for catching fish. Once you've caught the fish, you can forget about the trap. A rabbit snare is for catching rabbits. Once you've caught the rabbit you can forget about the trap. Words are for catching ideas. Once you've caught the idea, you can forget about the words. Where can I find the person who knows how to forget about words so that I can have a few words with him? -Chuang Tzu
