About Me

Hello - I am Mike.
Uh...hi.
I'm working on my first independent feature in addition to working as the morning Technical Director for WILX-TV 10. Movie coming Fall 2008, people! I like to play flip cup and enjoy a rum and coke whenever possible. I play XBox 360. When I can afford it I read comic books. I have two cats. I like to cook. Yes, a drinking, comic book reading, cat lover.Come and get it ladies.
I had a public access show for a few years a while back. That was a good time. I have a job that people tell me sounds really cool. Until a recent change I wasn't exactly agreeing with that. But, I dig my job a lot. I get to hit colored buttons for a living and make bad jokes. Eff'n A! Of course, I wish I wasn't doing it at 3 am....but you win some, you lose some.
Although, I am burnt out by a constant influx of new co-workers who just suck at the job, and spending the majority of my days in a room so dark I'm waiting for the guy sitting next to me to cop a feel and tell me "He didn't see me there."
