About me:
I am a disturbed yet very happy story teller, in numerous mediums of the written word. I have written plays, and more..other projects would include Literary readings in the SF bay area, and in Boston.
I have been published randomly here and there in the following: LA Weekly, Cherry Bleeds (the Sf Bay Area's), some hip La literary rags and other spots.
I also have been a tattooed freaky model featured in Photography shows in Boston, Los Angeles & San Francisco. I won a screenwriting competition, and I have also acted in tv/film...but who hasn't in La?
Google me if you really care.
I always have something to say in my blog.
And no, I don't look like a writer....I look more like the guy you hired to beat up the bullies bothering you in highschool....and chances are I was that guy.

The latest news & Big Project:
My Big project is that I am currently wrapping up my book. My book is a memoir about the 1990s, falling in love, grunge, falling out of love, death, life, suburbia, drugs, Harvard Square, relationships, rock and roll, punk rock, hell and more.
It happened here and there and Harvard square.
You might just have to wait and spend that $24.95 to hear my latest story.

Secondly;
If you don't like mypage oh well, as it is "myspace".
ps. i rotate my top people every week, as i feel it is elitist.
And nope I do not approve "Advertising Comments" on my page for your latest new record out, or book or dvd. Just try to be a person not spam.
Thanks-
Management.
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone, positive and negative people, the devil, Robert Johnson, George Carlin's spirit, Charlie Rose, the homeless, and the Dali Lama.
Plus:
People who write, "you" as opposed to "U" and so on. People who don't use ALL CAPS and know how to communicate.
Here are some stills of me wrapping up/writing my book!
I support the 2008 ban on this years Summer Olympics on behalf of the great people of Tibet and Darfur.
There have been growing calls for boycotts of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing in protest of China's poor human rights record and response to the recent disturbances in Tibet, Darfur, and Taiwan. There are also campaigns calling for Chinese goods to be boycotted.
The number countries that are banning the Olympics would be; Austria, Mexico, and Iraq believe it or not.
The list of celebrities would be Mia Farrow, Richard Gere, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone (almost chuckle here) , and many too many to name.
Now when you do a goggle search of "Olympic Bans" and the search results are fewer and fewer…..thanks to people and giant mega corps like McDonalds, and the other fascist sponsors that are supporting the Olympics. If you really think about these corporations they all resemble the Communist business model as opposed to the American business model.
China has in effect banned much and many of the websites or has tried to with all their might.
So just take a few minutes to think about what is going on around the world around you.
China has also already in effect banned many many magazines that have taken a stance against their policies in Tibet, Darfur, and the many other countries listed.
One of the major magazines would be Time-Out (London)
Here are just a few web sites to help you on your way to helping the bans:
