I'm an Actor, creative thinker and hopeless romantic. As an actor I love to explore why people behave the way they do, say the things that they say, and in many cases, examine the unthinkable behavior that actors must explore. Emotionally dangerous territory is where I seem to excel, at least that's what I have been told by the people that keep hiring me. There's an old saying that says "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". I'll leave it at that. You see, most folks don't want others to see their emotional baggage, or at best, they share their scars in the privacy of a therapists office. It's safe that way. I've chosen to share mine with the lens of a camera for public display, not out of need for notoriety, but out of a need to release my own personal demons. There is no safety net in front of a camera. No one there to comfort you and say "It's OK". It's horrifying, thrilling, frightening and liberating all in one terrifying moment. It's crazy when you think about it. Everyday people hide their scars, but are fascinated to view others peoples drama. In one way or another, we can all relate to pain, be it emotional or physical. It's the nature of humanity to be curious. We are voyeurs of the highest degree. Most people will work like the devil to keep their demons in the closet, but will pay money to read or watch stories that hit close to home. And as far as I'm concerned, the closer the better. But even then when you give them what they've paid for, and things get a bit too close for comfort, people seem to rebel, shut down or deny their feelings. It's crazy. What's even more interesting, is that I get paid to help tell these stories from time to time. Hopefully by sharing my pains I can bring others pleasure. At least Acting good for something... Here's some thoughts off the top for those who may be interested… I enjoy spending time with cool people that don't talk nonsense. Creative intellectual conversation that's insightful and funny, not pompous self absorbed babel..... Success breeds Success... Optimism is not a struggle, it’s a mind set........ Don't tell me about what you just did for your self; tell me about what you just did for someone else. It’s far more interesting and says so much more about you........ Conditional relationships are a death trap. It’s amazing what you can learn from people when they don't feel as though you’re trying to get something from them....... Don't crap in your own bed. And if you do, don't bitch about the smell and mess. You craped in it Einstein...deal with it!!..........Is God in my life? If you mean GOD as in the pagan white dude that Western Civilization has identified as "GOD", you know, the blue eyed blond haired carpenter that was conceived immaculately, then born in a barn, I'm not so sure. Stories are stories. Some are good, some not so good. It's a fantastic story and the overall message is positive. I know a cool cat named Siddhartha G. that has some pretty enlightening ideas and stories too. It’s absolutely the most naive and ludicrous notion that people will kill, fight, manipulate & maim other human beings under the premise of defending a Fictional story book as "The Only Book That Is Correct". They all wash out the same; Christianity, Roman Catholic, Buddha, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Jehovah, Mormon, whatever. Be honest, be good, and treat the world and all its creatures with love. If that's God in my life, then yes….. The problem that we now face as a World Society, is the blurring lines between the institutions of “Church & State”. As the “Separation of Powers” narrows, religious fanaticism begins to permeate the process of Neutral Cognitive Thinking. The world is Not Black or White. True knowledge lies in ones ability to seek the neutrality of Grey tones, the Balance of Life. Our Country is now mired in ignorant partisan politics with a greedy power hungry little Christian man from Texas leading us into the gutter. As proud as I am to be an American, I’m equally ashamed to be associated with the economic and ethical/ humanitarian policies that we appear to impose on to the rest of the world. And they hate us for it as well. And PLEASE do not misconstrue or interpret this statement to extend to the young Men & Women currently fighting in conflicts around the globe on behalf of the fore mentioned ignorant little man from Texas. Our Brightest & Bravest friends, relatives and love ones who put their lives on the line each and every day deserve clarity, sanity, and ethical responsibility from those that make the decisions to put their lives in harms way. And frankly, they have been let down horribly. This White House is embarrassing and disgraceful from the Top to Bottom. I prey that they pull their heads out of their collective asses soon. There is no excuse acceptable to justify lying to waste our nation’s most precious resources, the lives of our solders, based on such a naive and elementary concept as “Good vs. Evil”…But then again, we are still talking about the ignorant little man from Texas aren’t we…I'm a native Californian born in Long Beach, raised in the (805). But the more I meet Real folks from out of state I'm beginning to wonder if that's necessarily something to be proud of........ I used to have dreams of Fame & Fortune. Had a little of each. Both are fleeting, and neither lives up to the expectations. When it’s all said and done, there's just you baby!!... A little Therapy can go along way.......Scared?? Learn to love yourself. I try like hell every day! Today’s been tough. Screw it!! At least I'm honest...........Try giving a smile and a pleasant word to a total stranger. You might be surprised by their response. If it’s not positive, and you expected more, then you did it for the wrong reasons. Keep learning Grasshopper, the path is long...
