About Me

I grew up in a small town in Michigan, but have since moved out to Los Angeles. I'm just like half the people in this crazy, messed up, beautiful, splendiforous city - trying to make my way through the concrete jungle to get that big piece of cheese at the end of the maze. I just hope it's provolone...Storyteller

My Interests

Life. Karaoke. Friends and Family, and those for whom the line between the two are blurred. Music, movies, and books. Rain.

I'd like to meet:

People with a sense of fun about life, especially those who enjoy partaking in the karaoke. And Judd Apatow, I think he'd be able to give me some good advice... Baby Mama Insurance on FunnyOrDie.com ..

Music:

"Reluctantly crouched at the starting line engines pumping and thumping in time the green light flashes the flags go up churning and burning they yearn for the cup they deftly maneuver and muscle for rank fuel burning fast on an empty tank reckless and wild they pour through the turns their prowess is potent and secretly stern as they speed through the finish the flags go down the fans get up and they get out of town the arena is empty except for one man still driving and striving as fast as he can the sun has gone down and the moon has come up and long ago somebody left with the cup but he's driving and striving and hugging the turns and thinking of someone for whom he still burnshe's going the distance he's going for speed she's all alone all alone in her time of need because he's racing and pacing and plotting a course he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse he's going the distanceno trophy no flowers no flashbulbs no line he's haunted by something he cannot define bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse assail him impale him with monster truck force in his mind he's still driving still making the grade she's hoping in time that her memories will fade cause he's racing and pacing and plotting a course he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse the sun has gone down and the moon has come up and long ago somebody left with the cup but he's striving and driving and hugging the turns and thinking of someone for whom he still burnshe's going the distance he's going for speed she's all alone all alone in her time of need because he's racing and pacing and plotting a course he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse he's racing and pacing and plotting a course he's fighting and guiding and riding on his horse he's going the distance he's going for speed he's going the distance"-Cake, "The Distance"

Movies:

Here is a smattering of the films that tickle my fancy: Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, From Dusk Till Dawn, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 (moreso 2), Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Fight Club, Sin City, X-men, X2, Spiderman, The Hulk, Fantastic Four (yes, I liked The Hulk and Fantastic Four), Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Things to Do in Denver when You're Dead, A Night at the Roxbury, Zoolander, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, American Beauty, 2 Days in the Valley, The Usual Suspects, The Way of the Gun, American History X, Garden State, The Wedding Crashers, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

Television:

I enjoy quality tv shows, mostly the kind that have a continuing storyline throughout. My favorite shows include: Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Family Guy, My Name Is Earl, The Sopranos, Big Love, Lost, How I Met Your Mother, Boston Legal, The Office, Scrubs and Heroes.

Books:

The best novel I ever read was "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk. I'm a huge fan of him and Kurt Vonnegut.

Heroes:

Jim Leyland
