About Me


Myspace LayoutsI've got a great apartment. I have a reliable car. I live in a good part of a great town. I'm 15 minutes from a fantastic beach and I know where to go where I can sun and swim without many people around. I have a fantastic girlfriend that's made me happier than I can remember being in a long, long, time. I've got the best friends in the world. I write well, I act well, and I've got dreams to use that to my advantage. I have a '71 Dodge Coronet that I'm kind of in love with. My girlfriend thinks it's cute. I'd like to buy an old Beetle. I'd like to buy an all black Triumph Bonneville. I have intentions of charity that never materialize, and I feel bad about that. I'm drawn to the weird, the ignored, and the darker sides of things. I find the idea of laws meant to enforce religious views reprehensible, but I consider myself a spiritually curious person. I memorize the tag numbers of people that cut me off in traffic. I've got a great family that supports me, but I wonder if they'd support me if I made the kinds of movies I want to make. I'm going to take that chance anyway. I think the only thing in life is to make your dreams and your plans the exact same thing. I'm reading and writing constantly. I'm not so good at 'rithmatic. I'm still not sure how to end this, so

My Interests

Music with distortion. Girls that know what they want. Leaders with dreams. Politicians with integrity. People with wild ideas. Cars with big motors. Cops with pleasant attitudes. Religion without prejudice. My freedom. My family. My American Express.
