About Me

I'm not the familiar, but not famous, sitcom star I thought I'd be, but I'm happy.

TRAILER OF THE WEEK

Movie Quote of the Week: "I don't know a lot about everything, but I do know a lot about the part of everything that I know..." - Elizabethtown (2005)

"I never fully understood that expression, but no, I am not "shitting" you." - Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

(in a Kevin Kline French Accent) "When someone tells me they are happy...my ass begins to twitch." - French Kiss (1995)

"'Course a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay." - Bull Durham (1988)

"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" - Transformers (2007)

"It's beyond my control." - Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is...what you share with someone else when you're uncool." - Almost Famous (2000)

"I just want something beautiful." - Beautiful Girls (1996)

"You see, drinking is a matter of algebraic ratio. How drunk you get is caused by the amount of alcohol you consume in relation to your total body weight. You see my point? It's not that you had too much to drink. You're just too skinny." - Splash (1984) John Candy

"There's a really big gap between getting your ass kicked, and having a dancing, singing sprite fool you with trickery, and then strike your throat before you know that you're even in the fight." - The Break Up (2006)

"If I had a dick, this is where I'd tell you to suck it." - Betty White in Lake Placid (timeless)

And you won't find any pics of my daughter here -- my best friend will yell at me.

My Interests

My daughter's soccer games, Angels baseball, film and theatre, winning the lottery -- I don't need the big jackpot -- I'd settle for the 7 million dollar starter kit.

I'd like to meet:

Ben Affleck. Cameron Crowe. Matt Damon. Colin Farrell. That guy I saw that one time at that place. Bob and Harvey Weinstein. Al Pacino. Robert DeNiro. I'd like to meet a news anchorperson to see how they look in person - if you look (not even that closely) there is always something slightly off about them. Troy Glaus. Adam Kennedy. David Eckstein. John Lackey. A Rod. Derek Jeter. Eric Chavez. Muhammed Ali. Angelina Jolie - for philanthropic reasons. A guy that will change my oil (even though I can do it myself now). Oh, and Jack Nicholson.

And now...THE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS...

Music:

Everything except for things like Pantera and whoever sings that "Honky Tonk Ba-donky-donk" song.
