I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm an actor/writer/comedian living in Orlando, FL. However, the philosophy of Gnosticism dictates that I'm ALSO an eternal luminous being of spirit observing the life-dream, forever connected to the great good, the eternal oneness from which we all spring, thus supporting the idea of logos (often translated as "word" in the bible,) that separateness is an illusion. We are all one. I prefer this and/with thinking to the soul-depleting either/or malady many call life. And now, here's some jokes.....Check out my website: http://www.arnieellis.net

My Interests

All of the visual and performing arts, literature, music, movies, comic books, gaming and food. I started out pretty much a geeky avid reader, into fantasy/sci-fi, role playing games, etc., and now..... I'm the same, but with mileage.

I'd like to meet:

People, but if you're not a person, that's cool... I won't take it personally.

Music:

Everything, but especially metal, prog, jazz, new age, classical, and blues.

Movies:

Too many, but I will mention that "Somewhere In Time" was the first movie to make me weep like a baby.

Television:

Too many, but I will mention that "Jack Frost" was the first Rankin/Bass holiday special to make me weep like a baby.

Books:

Too many, but I will mention that the Yale Shakespeare was the first book to make me weep like a baby.... because I dropped it on my foot. Read "The Laughing Jesus" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.

Heroes:

Gene Kelly, Bill Hicks, Simon Magus, Morihei Ueshiba, Miyamoto Musashi, the Dalai Lama, Steve Vai, Joseph Campbell, Plato, King Arthur, Captain Ettiene Navarre, and Green Lantern.
