About Me

this is my most recent video project... enjoy!

My Interests

this pic was taken by my buddy Will check him out at www.willbyingtonphotography.com. this is the greatest place on earth. I love it...Plus, I enjoy cinematic adventures, Tellum Productions, Rock Pile Films, DMOB Productions, Subversive Vids, snowboarding, skateboarding, Chicago Cubs, stand-up comedy, roller derby, photobooths and Todd Hollandsworth!

I'd like to meet:

...meh

Music:

Stuff that doesn't suck! STRUNG OUT, Lagwagon, Wilco, Elliott Smith, Social Distortion, Buddy Holly, The Replacements, Billy Joel, A Wilhelm Scream, Jimmy Eat World, Mae, Johnny Cash, Ben Folds, Alkaline Trio, Jeff Buckley, Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, Jinxpack, Nightmare of you, Elvis Costello. I can rock out to my fair share of 80's tunes...

Movies:

Just about the hardest question in the world. Hmmm...well some are: anything Coen brothers, the brilliance of Alfred Hitchcock (top o' the list being Strangers on a Train), anything Wes Anderson, Amelie, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, Almost Famous--or anything Cameron Crowe for that matter, excluding Vanilla Sky(everyone is allowed one mistake), Swingers, Waking Life, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, American Movie, True Romance, Beautiful Girls, City Lights, The General, This is Spinal Tap, Cinema Paradiso, Seven, Shaun of the Dead, Wet Hot American Summer, The Baxter, High Fidelity, Good Will Hunting, Battle Royale, Kurasawa's 'Dreams', Closer, anything written by Charlie Kaufman, The Graduate, L'Auberge Espagnole, Mulholland Dr., Donnie Darko, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Dead Poet's Society, Dr. Strangelove, Catch the Fever, The Yiddish Adventures of Menorah Man, Oh, and I HATE M. Night Shamylan--he's a complete disgrace to filmmaking, and I don't understand how people can even tolerate a single piece of shit he has put out. C'mon 'Signs'... easily the worst film ever made!

Television:

some...Simpsons of course, 24, Entourage, The Office(UK), Stella, Reno 911, TWIN PEAKS, SNL Digital Shorts (the rest of the show pretty much sucks now) Extras...and obviously, the cubs!

Books:

About to read a couple of books soon, as I will have lots of time on my hands in the near future.

Heroes:

My Grandpa(buddy boy),

Lloyd Dobler, Ryne Sandberg, Todd Hollandsworth, and of course all of the forementioned film directors. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Burnt out...

As the subject line says, I am just that... burnt out. On what? I’m not sure. Is it work? Life? Money? I don’t know. Is there something missing? Am I just frustrated? I find myself a lot m...

The Cubs and I may need to spend some time apart...

This is starting to get re-god-damn-diculous! How can so much talent blow so many goats?  Nobody is getting it done, except maybe Lee and Theriot. Now the team is even picking fights with ea...

FOB tour postponed...

The Fall Out Boy tour we are shooting video for is delayed. Which is a good thing. It gives me more Grace time, which is certainly a great thing. It can be my "Grace period." Get it? Grace period...ha...
