About Me

I am an 29 year old child at heart. I enjoy being silly and most of all I enjoy life. I don't let my troubles weigh me down and I am alwasy quick to see the best in every situation and person (except for our President and his band of Merry Men). I am in LA to succeed. I had a childhood filled with terrible pain and immense pleasure. I was treated horribly by my peers when I was younger and as a result I spent many years doubting my existence. Then I went away to school and I met some of the most wonderful people in the world. They showed me a world I'd only imagined and they accepted me into that world. Then I met the most important person in my world, my wife April. She made me into the man I am today. She made me look into the mirror and see beyond the lies that my tormentors had wrapped me in, and together we released me and I am now free to conquer my dreams. I dream all the time...when I sleep and when I'm awake. My world is a visual feast and I want to show my world to all of you. That's why I am going to be a writer. I am filled with stories and soon they will come to life before your eys on the television and the movie screen. I want to make people laugh and cry, but most importantly I want to make people think. We (as a whole) have lost our capacity to think...we leave that up to our TV, newspapers, internet, our President. We hear what they tell us and we say, 'Okay! If they say it is so...it must be so'. Well I say, screw that. Make up your own mind, decide for yourself...if they present "facts"...check em out. If they are true...great...if they are false...even better!

My Interests

I love movies. I want to work on them. I want to write them. I want to direct them. I want to stand on a stage someday and receive an Oscar. I want to make better movies. I want to make cult movies. I want people to watch my movies and quote lines from them. I want to hear my movie has been made into a drinking game. I am interested in talking to people. I want to meet people, so that I can be a better writer. I like books and they way they make me imagine the world. I like driving, but not to any particular desitination. Driving and talking about anything and everything is a wonderful experience...which I highly recommend. I enjoy photography. I love hiking around looking for that perfect shot...I especially like sunsets and clouds. I like helping others and doing nice things for them. I enjoy art, so long as those I'm with don't take it too seriously. I enjoy drawing...I'm not a great artist and often all I do is squiggles, shapes, and eyes, but it make me happy.

I'd like to meet:

People who are free thinkers. People who challenge conventions. People who question authority. People who care about something other then themselves. People who want to make a difference. People who still believe there is goodness in this world. People who believe that the measure of a person is not who they know or who they can throw money at, but who they are. People who recognize Shakespeare for the absolute genius he is, and know that his work is wondefully funny and sexual. People who live today and know that tomorrow will be just as wonderful. People who love the Muppets and understand that there comedy was written for adults. People who know how to sit and have a silent conversation, yet still speak volumes. People who still believe in fantasy. People who know who Bruce Campbell is, recognize his talents, and are not afraid to admit it. People who respect technology, but do not overindulge. People who love animals. People who love debate. People who want to be better.

Music:

I am a classic rock man. There is something about the guitar riffs and instrumental breaks that just touch my soul. The funny thing about me is I love music, but I don't know the names of songs or bands. I know that may seem odd and you may not think I count as a music fan, but I don't care. With me, it's not about the band or which track I'm currently on...it's about the music. Plain and simple.

Movies:

There really is no point in going into my favorite movies. I've tried to think about this in the past and I've been unable to do it. I enjoy so many movies on so many levels for so many reasons...I've come to the conclusion that It is easier to ask me which movies I don't like...the list is shorter and easier to name...If you want to know...ask...

Television:

Hands down my favorite show is LOST. I fot hooked half way through the first season and I've been unable to let go since. I love a good mystery. I'm also a fan of CSI...the original. Family Guy...My Name is Earl...and 24! Gotta find out what the Chinese do with Jack! It's not on anymore, but if it was I'd watch it. The Muppet Show...first season on DVD rocks! No one knows this show...but you soon will "The Dual"

Heroes:

Jim Henson. This was a man who gave so much to this world and he is ofen overlooked. You might say...the guy who did the Muppet Show? And I'd say yes! I urge you to find out about this man. He was an amazing person, who achieved great things in his life and worked with some of the best people in the world. I'm positive you have felt the effect of his work whether you know it or not. Don't forget...the Muppets represent the very best of us. We should try to live up to that legacy.

Getting in touch with friends

For the longest time I was out of touch with everyone from my past who shapped me.  I am not trying to say that I am something created by all my friends...that's not it at all.  I have a cor...
