About Me

Father, husband, writer, film-maker. I enjoy laughing with my children, eating good food, making love to my wife, writing of life, nights at the bar, fishing, and working in the yard. And I have cancer. Born in South Philly, grew up in South Jersey, and now reside near Athens, Georgia. I wrote and directed, and produced with the help of dozens of friends and strangers, the epic ulta-no-budget feature length film 'Spin My Dreidel', which is currently in editing. I have also been blessed to help Sasquatch-B and Primal Trot Trot on some of their excellent short films (inc. The Last Hour, Cold Blooded, Hell Toupe). In addition to film-making, I have written a few really bad novels, and am currently working to add to that list. I have some of the most wonderful friends in the world. In this soujourn of life I feel as though I have lived many lives, and all of them have been spectacular and fun, and I have had the pleasure of forging friendships with an eclectic mix of characters from all walks of life.Spin My Dreidel -- Movie Trailer

Movies:

Never saw one. Seriously. I don't even know what they are. Did I mention that I can't read? Imagine how disappointed I was after I finished Catcher in the Rye to find out that I'm illiterate. It was such a good book, too. Someone should make a movie version of it for all of us illiterates.

On Writing...by me.

If you're not a writer, don't read any further. I am not a published writer. But I have read enough bad writing to know that I am good, and enough great writing to know that I still have a long way to...

Long, rambling, political...but free of underage sodomy.

I'd run for congress as a Republican, but there aren't any sixteen year old boys that find me attractive enough. There's a new episode of Tiki Bar TV. Check it out. www.tikibartv.com. Lala wears a tig...

For Whom the Blog Tolls

One of my best friends in Jersey is this guy named Ted. We met at Rutgers. We dropped out of Rutgers at about the same time. Ted was fun to party with. We both enjoyed drinking too much and talking ab...

Let's not get fooled again...

And so here we are at the five year anniversary. What does it mean? Well, five years have gone by since that Tuesday in September. Other than that, I'm not sure. It still chokes me up to see coverage...

So I underwent my second chemo treatment. It's about 10 times worse than the first one. I want to end it. It's Saturday and I can barely lift myself from the couch. I want to feel normal again. Enough...
