Aloha Myspace! Off to Kaui...be back on 5/31...Peace out!

About Me

Southern gentleman. Nice guy. Hopeless romantic. Film geek. Moderate liberal. Paying the bills with acting gigs while seeking screenwriting glory. I write left-handed but do everything else with my right. Youngest of three. Last male in my family. Slight OCD. I hate odd numbers. And clowns! Not to mention the state of today's youth. I also hate it when hot girls call themselves "a dork"! Often the comic relief but deeper than one might think. I value friendship and loyalty. Currently living in LA but will most definitely move back to BAMA to raise a family. In the meantime, life is a journey and I'm visiting all of the tourist attractions. Even the crappy ones! Anything else, just ask!

My Interests

Movies...writing screenplays...my family...my friends...feeding my brain...meeting new and exciting people...Entertaining those new and exciting people(along with everyone else)...eating good food...booking acting gigs...and generally living life.I also look forward to adding "regular exercise" to my list of interests.

I'd like to meet:

My soul's counterpoint in another...with a fantastic rack! J/K-physical beauty is what draws one in but its the inner beauty, the spirit, the passion that keeps 'em interested. Flesh is fleeting, the soul is eternal.But I do request that any females be at least 18. I don't want to pop up on some "DATELINE" special. And as for the fellas, well, if I don't know you already, I probably won't add you. I didn't sign on for the sausage. Sorry.But feel free to leave me a message anyways. Everybody's got something to say, a story to tell and I want to hear yours. Peace be with you in the meantime."Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." ~Gerta

Music:

Depends on my mood. My top three favorites are: Crystal Method, Beastie Boys and Coldplay...and no, I'm not gay! Others I enjoy range from the Cure & the Pixies to hip-hop and classic rock. I try to keep an open mind about music, but I seriously can't stomach country. I don't know what it is, but the sounds of country music make me nauseous.

Movies:

My top 5 movies are: "Last of the Mohicans", "Shawshank Redemption", "Predator", "Aliens" and "Saving Private Ryan". These are my top 5 for mostly personal reasons. These are the ones that I could watch over and over and never grow tired of them.I enjoy finding new films to watch. Like "Bubba Ho-Tep", "Dog Soldiers" and "Layer Cake". I find foreign films tough to enjoy. Learning to appreciate silent flicks.Since I'm in the business of writing movies, I try to keep an open mind about films. I hope to one day write something that will become someone else's personal favorite.

Television:

I don't own a tv but when I can, I catch the following: "Entourage", "Brotherhood", "Simpsons", "Dateline", "Hannity&Colmes", anything on History Channel or Discovery Channel...NFL football...I HATE reality tv with a white-hot passion. It caters to the lowest common denominator, highlighting the worst qualities of human nature. People who get on reality tv shows are nothing more than desperate attention whores!

Books:

I just cashed in my Barnes&Noble Gift card from Xmas and have the following to read: Dan Simmons' "The Terror", Capote's "In Cold Blood", "Running With Scissors", "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay".This is after I finish the Bartimaeus Trilogy.Don't let the titles fool you. I'm still cool. Or so my mom keeps telling me.

Heroes:

My pops-Big Bruno Baggio...other than that, I think anyone who distinguishes him/herself by trying to make this world a better place is a hero. People who create rather than destroy-these are heroes.

My Blog

Strawberry-flavored brain freeze...

So I'm chillin' in my room on April 16th, watching "Justice League Unlimited" or some other dvd that the unclean masses would deem "uncool" to watch when I get a strange phonecall. The fella on the o...

My latest gig was a beast...

Boy, that title sucked even harder than I thought! But I'm exhausted and sore, thus, only running on half-cylinders today. I have been on something of a streak lately (knock on wood). I shot a print j...

Excuse me while I vent just a tad...

Okay, before I get into this, I know I have very little to complain about. In my side job as a character actor, I make nice chunks of cash for doing very little. That I admit. Its a fact I bring up re...

Screenwriting Blues...

I wrote the following on my personal blog which has since been abandoned. But I realized I needed more blogs on my myspace so that it looks like I'm doing more than just oogling pretty girls. This one...

This Whole Immigration Rights Situation

Okay, I'm probably going to catch a busload of shit for writing this and that's okay. I only ask that any critics read the entire article before coming at me with both barrels. Let me first just say t...

SHORT,PALE&QUIRKY=The new Tall,Dark&Handsome

I've decided to make an Ali-like return to blog-posting in light of a rash of angry rants by women against not only their wayward exes, but against men in general. It is for that reason that I post th...
