I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a fairly decent sort who's about to start writing my fourth screenplay. I pretty much am able to get along with anyone, except for that same fat, sweaty, smelly guy who always crowds my seat on airplanes and public transportation. If I have a fault in myself, I would say that it's my tendency to find fault in myself. My personal motto is, "Never put off 'til tomorrow the task you can pass on to someone else."

My Interests

I love monkeys. Making movies is hard work (especially with no money), but it's also fun and very gratifying, from a creative point of view. I live in a house with five cats, four of which are hairless. I love them all, except for Beetle. He's an asshole. I have a sister and niece who are both police officers, and I have a brother and nephew who are both drug addicts, so I guess it evens itself out. I also find myself having some short term memory loss from time to time. Did I mention that I love monkeys?

I'd like to meet:

Cool, quality people who won't turn out to be psychopaths apt to do me in with a chainsaw and/or tree shredder.NO MORE FRIEND REQUESTS FROM PORN SITES, PLEASE! WHAT PART OF "NO" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, IS IT THE "N", OR IS IT THE "O"?

Music:

I greatly enjoy it, except for anything that appears on MTV and all the obnoxous rap and grunge on MySpace.com, bunch of noise-hawking no-talents. My faves are jazz (Pat Metheny to Antonio Carlos Jobim), rock (I'll always love The Beatles), classic r&b (Marvin, 'nuff said), Sinatra, classical, etc.

Movies:

Love old horror and sci-fi movies. Actually, I love old movies, period. So many new movies now days are just wa-a-a-a-a-y-y-y over-the-top for me.

Television:

I"ll stay up for some Conan. Other than that, it's a cesspool. Feh! (Okay, I do have the first five seasons of THE SIMPSONS on dvd).

Books:

With my busy schedule, I'm lucky if I have time to read "See Spot Run."

Heroes:

Jordan (My pal and co-producer), anyone who defies the sorry current state of our culture, the great comedians who could always make me laugh, the man who invented the nose hair clipper. Also, my mom, who showed me what true bravery is while fighting her losing battle with cancer.
