Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a
poor black
child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my
family, singin' and dancin' down in
Mississippi.
My name is Jonathan. I'm a
self-replicating
strand of DNA run amok. I'm an
amateur filmmaker, but no, I
don't make
porn. Not
that I'm against it. I just haven't had the opportunity. I make
comedies, mostly,
and write funny
screenplays.
Ethnicity-wise, I'm
Italian,
Scottish, and
Polish. Which apparently means I make
people offers they don't understand, and I hold grudges for long
periods of time. Actually, that's not me at all. Though I do like
saying things people don't understand.
Now for a list of random things nobody really cares about:
My favorite color is
green. My favorite number is
27. My favorite word is
obsequious. My
favorite
genre of
movie is
Comedy. I love eating and
drinking things that make other people uncomfortable, like
lemons and
tequila. I can
take any
scribble
and make a
picture
out of it (haven't been stumped once). My
shoe size is 12. I prefer
digital watches to
analog watches. I can
Photoshop like nobody's
business.
I'm an
existentialist, but not in that
dreary "God is dead" sort of way. Although, I do believe
Science has killed Him. I
think we give our lives our own meaning. It's up to me and me alone
to decide what I want out of life, and then do what needs to be
done.
I've always wanted to entertain people. Back when kids dreamed of
being Firemen or Astronauts, I wanted to be a
Cartoonist. Then, as I got
older, probably because of
Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles or
Animaniacs, I wanted to be an
Animator. Then, I
went to a vocational high school for
Computer Animation, and
realized that movies were using CGI more and more (this was 1997,
btw) that what I really wanted to do was make movies!

I graduated
UNLV with
a
Bachelor's of Fine
Arts in
Film Studies. Currently working
as a
projectionist at a movie theater
while I'm looking for a job doing graphics.
I want to make a great
independent film and submit it
to film festivals. I don't mind the idea of being a
starving artist,
but if I had a choice, I'd rather be a
well-fed artist.
I'm getting pretty good at the
guitar!
creative, artsy things, like
photography,
creative writing,
painting,
filmmaking,
drawing,
song writing,
poetry (song writing without music),
telling
jokes.
Well, I'm like an amazing gift wrapped in brown paper bags from
your cool, slacker uncle. At first, you don't know what to expect,
so your expectations are low. Then, once you open it, you realize
he got you a bunch of horror comics from the 50s! Best. Birthday.
Ever!
... yeah, so the first thing people notice about me is that I'm as
ordinary as a present wrapped in brown paper bags. But all they
gotta do is open me up to find the amazingness inside.
I see A LOT of movies. I probably see 5 a week... new, old, ones
I've seen, some I've always wanted to see... So this is a tough
question. I guess I'll have to answer this:
Book:
Time's
Arrow by
Martin Amis or
Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy by
Douglas Adams
Movie:
There Will Be Blood or
Anchorman:
The Story of Ron Burgundy
Music:
They Might Be Giants or
The
Decemberists
Food:
Mexican or
Indian (anything
spicy).
Let me just say that it was very difficult to choose only two in
each category (a stipulation I forced onto myself), but if I would
have listed EVERY one of my "favorites", it would have taken up the
whole page. If you want a comprehensive list of my likes, check out
my MySpace profile: myspace.com/morondude
how we're on a planet right now, being hurled around a ball of fire
that's being hurled around the universe. Every time I start to get
frustrated or annoyed, I remember how insignificant my problems are
in the grand scheme of things. And how we only have maybe 80 years
on this here tilt-o-whirl, so we'd better make the most of it and
get the most pleasure out of our existence as we can.
... well that and how cute
penguin babies are.
if not working, I'll try and set something up with friends. Maybe a
movie, or drinking, or just relaxing at my place with
Lost or
Heroes or
The Office or
Flight of the Conchords
or
Arrested Development.
I own a porno called Hannibal Lickter. It's dumb, even for an 80's
era porn flick. I just like puns.
