About Me

Wow, this needed some updating. I am currently an Associate Producer for a production company here in Chicago, LA is on hold for the moment, though still the destination. Let's see, I'm half Puerto Rican, and half American (usual European mix...Irish, English, German, a little Welsh) Having to identify with several cultures led me to develop my own manifesto and philosophy in life. I'm a joker, you will undoubtedly have a good time around me. I will probably make a joke about you at some point, but don't be offended, I'm laughing with you, not at you. I'm a firm believer in Karma, so I try to do just enough not to be struck by lightning, that would suck. I have an unhealthy fear of pianos, I dropped a piano bench on my left big toe when I was 8 and never really got over it. People talking to me while I'm in a public bathroom creeps me out, so do people with mutton chops. I love talking to random elderly people, they rarely hide their true feelings and they are a vast resource of life knowledge. Life is too short to be deceitful. I'm very forward, some people find it accosting, most find it refreshing. I loathe bureaucracy, it slows down my pace. I'm driven to succeed. My ultimate goal though is to stay as true to myself as I do to the films I create. My interests: FILM, FILM, FILM, Did I say Film? Every moment of my day is punctuated by ideas for my next project, and I am always looking for new projects. I have ecclectic music taste, I enjoy everything from Classical to Rap, despite the commercial nature of rap music today, but Country music offends my ears.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting new people, anyone with the same interests, personality defects (if you will), goals in life. People who have a third nipple, people who have first and last names that rhyme, that's always more fun in public, stand-up comedians, dogs with only three legs. The Weinstein Brothers, Steven Spielberg, Jon Favreau, Martin Scorsese, Luc Besson, Stanley Kubrick, GOD. Definitely other artists and filmmakers to collaborate with.

Maybe its just me but I find it shameful that so many people have hidden agendas and poor taste in "art". I attended a gallery opening this evening only to be shocked at the price tags on items that a...

Lousy SMARCH weather.

It's march 5th, why the hell is it snowing? Illinois weather is a fickle bitch. On a lighter note, tuned in for my weekly fix of the ghetto bachelor to find that the surreal life will be back for a 6t...
