About Me

“I began to harbor doubts about the path I had chosen; I began feeling the way I imagine an actor or athlete must feel when, after years of commitment to a particular dream, after years of waiting tables between auditions or scratching out hits in the minor leagues, he realizes that he’s gone just about as far as talent and fortune will take him. The dream will not happen, and he now faces the choice of accepting this fact like a grownup and moving on to more sensible pursuits, or refusing the truth and ending up bitter, quarrelsome, and slightly pathetic.”Barack Obama The Audacity of Hope ____________________________________________________________ __________________________ Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dreams become impossible: the fear of failure. Never forget your Personal Legend. Never forget your dreams. You silent heart will guide you. Be silent now. It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting. You can choose between being a victim of destiny or and adventurer who is fighting for something important. - Paulo Coelho ____________________________________________________________ __________________________MARCH=SHYNESS Fun to be with.

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
You scored as Angel. Yep you are the cute dark and oh so mysterious one. It takes people awhile before they know you. You have a scary past that you try to make amends for. Good luck with that!

My Interests

Acting is my major interest. I've been doing it since I was 15. Other interets are painting (watercolor), writing, and all types of sports.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to sit down and talk to Jon Favreau. I think we have a lot in common. Also I think I could learn everything I ever needed to know about screen acting from Vince Vaughn. Of course there are hundreds of famous actors, historical figures, and deceased relatives I'd love to meet, but who doesn't want to meet those type of people.

Music:

I don't have a favorite type of music. I just like what sounds good to me. Hootie and the Blowfish are a fav of mine because of the combination of Darius Rucker's soulful voice and the band's r and r music. Also Social Distortion is a fav, especially Mike Ness's solo stuff. I love so much music, Tiger Army, Blue October, the Beatles, he Stones, Dylan, the Dixie Chicks, Tupac, Biggie, I even love opera.

Movies:

I'm an old movie fan. Rebel Without a Cause (Dean), On the Waterfront and Streetcar Named Desire (Brando), The Misfits (Monroe, Clift), Lets's Make Love (Monroe), A Place in the Sun (Clift), I also like modern things like The Godfather, Swingers, Made, The Bondocks Saints, Diner, Rocky most 1 and 5, and countless others

Television:

Angel is the only TV show worth mentioning. I love the idea of the show. A man can spend a short time of his life doing evil, but must spend eternity making up for it.

Books:

I don't read for pleasure too often. I mainly enjoy books on acting technique and theory, bios about people of interest, plays, photography, and painting.
