I am sincere, honest, and a writer.
My Self-Summary
This profile will be a work in progress which will change evey now
and then since I'm currently a work in progress that changes every
now and then as well.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a
Front Desk
Clerk/Night Auditor at a hotel. It is not the end all and be
all, but it is a nice way to make a living and pay the bills for
the time being.
In another life I used to work in the world of professional theatre
as a stage and company manager (with a little bit of performance on
the side). The theatre was my first love and I consider myself very
fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to work in such an unique
field. Will I ever go back? I don't know, but it did allow me to
meet my second love...
...which is writing. When I'm not working, or even sometimes when I
am, I'm
writing.
I've written songs, poems, theatrical plays, and screenplays. My
(tentative) plan is to go back and get my MFA, in Play and/or
Screen Writing, within the next year or so.
I’m really good at
I'm
a good
listener.
Having ridiculously weird, yet highly symbolic, dreams.
Being charmingly awkward.
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably my size. I'm a big guy. 6'3'' and 300lbs. I've been called
a big teddy bear and that's pretty accurate.
After that, my
red
hair.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I'm not much of a reader, but do enjoy some of the classics:
To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men. The Five People You Meet
in Heaven is also fantastic. I'm a bit of a geek and love the Star
Trek New Frontier series.
Movies: Ghostbusters, Garden State, Star Trek, (500) Days of
Summer, District 9, Rounders, The Dark Knight, The Shawshank
Redemption, Away We Go, Good Will Hunting, Swingers, and Serenity
are some of my favorites.
Television: The Office, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, How I Met
Your Mother, Lost, Firefly, Chuck, The West Wing, Eli Stone, Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Family Guy to name a few.
Music: I've found that I enjoy specific songs more than I like
bands overall. Bands with songs that I like include, but are not
limited to: Barenaked Ladies, Something Corporate, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Killers, Guster, Jimmy Eat World,
Incubus, Third Eye Blind, and Matchbox Twenty. I really listen to
just about anything except hardcore rap and country.
Food: I love to grill. Hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, steak... you
name it, I'll grill it. I'm also a big fan of breakfast foods:
pancakes, sausage, eggs, and French toast.
The six things I could never do without
1) The ability to be creative.
2) A good camp/bonfire on a warm summer night.
3) The ability to be both pragmatic and an idealist when the mood
strikes.
4) The ability to laugh at myself and the world in which I
live.
5) A computer.
6) The internet.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Tomorrow. Figuring out what I want and how to make that
happen.
About what I'll say if I ever win an award for something that I
write.
I wonder if we'll ever live in a world where everyone is truly
tolerate of those around them.
What I would do if I ever won the lottery.
On a typical Friday night I am
If I'm not working, or doing something specific, then I'm probably
doing some combination of writing and/or relaxing.
I like playing games (
video: anything sports related, Rock Band,
and Mario Kart.
board: Risk, Monopoly, and Settlers of
Cattan.
card: No
Limit Texas Hold 'Em and Pitch.)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I
sucked my
thumb until I was
18. It's a touch more embarrassing than
private, but there it is.
You should message me if
I don't think the matching questions are very accurate because
they're based on so many conditions and what-ifs. I mean, of course
I
might possibly consider
driving a moose from Mexico to Canada if my partner asked me, but
it doesn't mean I'd
necessarily actually do
it, you know?
You should message me
if you want to.
Or if you have an
Australian accent.
