I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a freelance artist ( www.ericmrock.com *plug plug*) obsessed with the Ghostbusters, pop culture, movies, and cartoons, but without that creepy "uncle joey" feel that could tag along with others of that description...Basically i watch/study cartoons tv and movies and draw for long periods of the day, and am actually working on 2 cartoon pitches right now. I'm determined that down the line i will be lucky enough to work on any or all of those mediums in the future. I know it's not as glamerous as an X-treme sports guy, or famous lion tamer, but its what i chose to do. Plus I smell JUST like lion food, i don't know what they put in that stuff, but i'm a dead ringer for it.I spend a lot of time on the internet as a result of what i do, and i still manage to never update my websites, if thats not something to brag about, i dont know WHAT is. And when im not on this socially crippling pornography machine I'm playing with our dog, watching dvds, killing time with friends, the usual riff raff.
