I recently moved from Tampa Bay, FL out to L.A. When I'm not scrounging around, looking for a writing gig, I'm surfing around myspace, trying not to spend entire days at a time looking for friends. "Try" is the imperative word there. I've been writing articles for a few local newspapers, entertainment magazine and webpages in my down time when I'm not planning the next lindy hop dance exchange to attend. My webpage, which has basically become my online writing resume can be found here:

Following trends in pop culture is one of my favorite hobbies and used to be one my job as well, when I worked as a Movie Critic for Turner Network Television in Atlanta, GA. Since then, I have continued writing, looking to improve a couple of incomplete screenplays I've been kicking around for WAY too long, eventually looking to break into the biz, one way or another.
If you happen to be in the L.A. entertainment loop, shoot me a message.
Who I'd like to meet: There's a TON of people I'd like to meet, in no specific preference:
Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Michael Curtiz, Frank Sinatra, Alfred Hitchcock, Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, John Huston, John Wesley, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, Frankie Manning, John Knox, Steven Soderbergh, Steven Spielberg, David Fincher, Terry Gilliam, Shaun Cassidy, Tom Jones, Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Bob Kane, Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, Martin Luther, Martin Luther King Jr. Muddy Waters, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, William Gibson and more.
Happy Birthday Fargus! I'll be in Knoxville this upcoming week, so I'll say hey to our old stomping grounds. Hope you're having a great birthday weekend!!!
