About Me

Once upon a time, I was into filmmaking...
Check out my homepage!

My Interests

Studying the bible, writing, reading Shakespeare, watching movies, playing basketball, following football, and listening to music.

I'd like to meet:

My maker.

Music:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Audioslave, QOTSA, The White Stripes, The Doors, Kanye West, and Outkast are my favorites. Plus, I enjoy everything from Bruce Springsteen to Stone Temple Pilots to N.W.A. Otis Redding is underrated, The Grateful Dead is overrated, and I was glad when the Smashing Pumpkins were broken up. Wesley Willis whips 'em all!

Movies:

My favorite movie is The Big Lebowski. The Getaway and Taxi Driver are distant seconds. However, I like a lot of movies including: The Godfather, Goodfellas, A Streetcar Named Desire, Brick, The New World, E.T., Chinatown, On The Waterfront, The Untouchables, Touch of Evil, Citizen Kane, Leatherheads...and on and on.

Television:

Reruns of Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mythbusters, and Ninja Warrior when the tv sucks me in.

Books:

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, any Shakespeare, Horseplayers: Life at the Track by Ted McClelland, and The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs

Heroes:


Rest in peace, brudda!
