About Me

.. ..I've been in L.A. for 7 years now. All of which have been at "King of the Hill". None of which have been dull. Sweet ass gig here, and it's holding on for just a bit longer. I've been doing screenwriting in the horror genre, started way too young, and I'm dabbling in drama. Usually some twisted mixture of the two. I've got a couple of projects right now that I should be working on instead of this page. I play a lot of video games as you may or may not notice as you make your way around the page. Feel free to browse. If I'm not writing or playing a game chances are I'm out at a movie, I'm hooked like a junkie and I can't stop. Got no plans to change that either. I regard video games as significant to our culture as I do art,literature,music, or any other form of expression. I love Vegas for the lights, shows and drinks, but couldn't care less about the gambling. Autumn is still my favorite season. I still prefer cats over dogs. And even though I went to UNC, I bleed Wolfpack Red. Nothing against ya'll folks, its just hows I was raised. Even if you take great pains to stop me, I will work "Silent Hill" and zombies into a conversation. And at some point late in the party I'll ask the stranger if they've ever played "Guitar Hero" before. It's just the way it is. My former housemate Clarissa has been trained to head for the nearest chainsaw in case of zombie attack. I also want to fall in love, get married, and have kids. How's that for sharing too much? Sorry if you're too emo for all of this.TROGDOR!!!!! .. .. width="425" height="350" ..
You Are Death
You symbolize the end, which can be frightening.
But you also symbolize the immortality of the soul.
You represent transformation, rebirth of a new life.
Sweeping away the past is part of this card, as painful as it may be.
Your fortune:
Don't worry, this card does not predict death itself.
Instead it foreshadows the ending of an era of your life, one that is hard to let go of.
But with the future great new things will come, and it's time to embrace them.
Mourn for a while, but then face the future with humility and courage. What Tarot Card Are You?

My Interests

Writing, horror based forms of expression, video games anything regarding Silent Hill, road trips, Napa Valley, Mulholland, the PCH, North Carolina, R.A.V.E.

Music:

I went to high school right when "Alternative" hit big so those types of bands are the soundtrack to my experiences of studying acting, staying up late on saturday, learning to drive, falling in love, falling out, and sneaking out at 3am to toliet paper somebody's yard.

Movies:

Aliens, Face/Off, Death Race 2000, Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Lord of the Rings movies, Amelie, City of Lost Children, Fight Club, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Pan's Labrynith, The Wizard of Oz, Transformers: The Movie, Ong-bak, Crimson Tide, Die Hard, Return of the Living Dead (the movie that was the genesis of my zombie fascination)

Television:

The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, South Park. The ultimate trifecta. Of the old (after)school G.I. Joe, He-Man, Transformers and Night Court. Man, I used to watch the hell out of Night Court. In college watched nothing but The Simpsons and The X-files. And then there's that little blessed thing called King of the Hill. Wonder Showzen may be the most toxic thing on television and Robot Chicken has wormed it's way in as well.

Books:

All The King's Men, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Damnation of Theron Ware, anything Shakespeare, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, World War Z, House of Leaves, It, Misery, Salem's Lot, a whole lotta H.P. Lovecraft, Watchers, The Four Agreements, Sandman, my stuff, The Bible.

A couple of friends who are the same wonderful people now as they were years ago when I first met them. A couple of friends who are gone. All the family. No zombies.

300 is just a frickin' movie!

I'm a little late to jump on this jackass train, but I'm doing it anyway. This is pretty much just a rant and it goes like this: The movie "300" is just a fucking movie. It is not a allegory of the...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

64 hours and 30 minutes. That's what the clock on the save file told me. Almost the equivalent of 2 and a half straight days. It felt longer than that. It kinda felt shorter too. That's 64 hours ...
