About Me

We are all alike, we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him. Our landlady and the delicatessen man are our mourners, and we leave nothing behind us but a frock-coat and a fiddle, or an easel, or a typewriter, or whatever tool we got our living by. All we have ever managed to do is pay our rent, the exorbitant rent that one has to pay for a few square feet of space near the heart of things. We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theaters. We sit in the restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder. - Willa CatherI MAKE THE MOVING PICTURES.

My Interests

It doesn't matter. It won't interest me for long. I'll toss it aside just shy of completion only to come back to it after the boat of my ambition has sailed. I just rotate through all the things I like doing, doomed to never achieve greatness at any one of them.

I'd like to meet:

Modern Cinema "the job" directed/shot/cut by yours truly with additional camera work by Mr. Brandon Vedder. I know it's a bit boring, but we only had a day to shoot.....Me and Aubs Debauch...

Music:


Movies:

...The Max, Reservoir Dogs, Jesus' Son, Happiness, everything from Stanly Kubric, Wes Anderson, Jean Pierre Jeunet or anything with my two favorite Pauls, Newman and Giamatti. ))<>(( LET IT BE HEARD the Collective Sound Documentary!!!

Television:

I don't have, or want, cable but I have been known to rent the occasional episode or two of Six Feet Under, Arrested Development or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but above all else the original Twilight Zone.

Books:

Ishmel, Scepticism Inc, The Giver, Lafcadio, The Giving Tree and Synthesis is a magazine not a book, but I write in it so you should read it.

Heroes:

you might think that this means that Sean, Jimmy and John are my heroes, but no. My hero is the ninja who cut Sean's head in half.

Last night I dreamt I was at a sperm bank donating my seed, which I would never do. The nurse helping me was really hot. In the same vein as the bag boy in a checkout line asking if you'd like help o...

Sometimes I wonder if Zach Smith ever takes the time to sit back and observe his opus. No I don't mean the army of fuze creations defending my home, the internet, at 72 dots per inch. I'm not even tal...

top 40 or an alarm clock?

Lately I've found the worst songs are latching onto my thoughts. For the longest time I couldn't figure it out, but I seriously had the fucking Goo Goo Dolls stuck in my head. It was insane. Anyway I ...

The road that leaves this place, but always brings me back...(or about a girl)

On a day unreserved for my self inflicted monotony I might stop and stand before my troops to witness at a stand still their uniform beauty. On that day I would join them in their flawlessly symmetri...

I can't sit still, I can't sleep and I can't stop laughing at what my life is becoming. You who finds stability in others, I am happy for. You who finds stability in yourself, I envy. Those who find s...
