I grew up on the beach, so I often dream about faking my death and dropping out to go to Costa Rica and live on the beach and surf, maybe meet a local ciquita and have a bunch of sandy little kids who never have to wear shoes...ever.

About me: I love the silly messy unsocialized side of life, the part that we laugh and cry from without why or knowing the difference between them sometimes. I like alot of "kooky" new age stuff like meditation and yoga, yet I love old school man-stuff like a shave and a haircut from Bruno the barber i've been going to for 30 years or a pastrami on rye from Katz's Deli (the closest mortals get to eating with God). Speaking of which I'm a spiritually minded guy, with no religious affliation. Although I was baptized Catholic, it's more of a personal relationship, my favorite prayers include "Help!" & "What the FUCK!". Basically i love the simple pleasures in life, but am not afraid to delve into, and in fact find inspiration in the complexities of life. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: In a Friend: Will you call me on my shit but not be a Dick about it? Can you break it down-meaning take an idea concept and tear it apart and put it back together, go to blows for your ideal and them laugh at how serious we got? what about water parks... i dig that shit.
In a Relationship: Will you sing? I don't mean carry a tune, or hit a note, but are you willing to open up your heart and show me what's inside. Physical, mental, and verbal playfulness is a must, I need a high Sass Factor. Someone who's a creature of whimsy (ie an impromtu picnic, or a last minute road trip). Although, I love a good plan, like dressing up to go to the theatre, dinner, and maybe some ball room dancing. But, honestly i'd love to be able to be in the same room, doing separate things, and still feel connected... then cuddle up and watch a movie.
hey there how are you doing? your myspace is looking sweet! anyhow, i just downloaded some awesome new ringers off www.tonetomyphone.info for FREE! they have the tightest selection!

Hey everyone! Check this out and please help me SPREAD THE WORD!!! I've just been informed that there will be a theatrical release of ON BROADWAY in Boston next month. The details so far are a release date of March 14th with a premiere celebrity screening on March 12th at either AMC Loews Boston Common or AMC Regal Fenway.
Taken from www.boston.com:
'Broadway' in Mass
Boston filmmaker Dave McLaughlin's movie "On Broadway" - which stars Joey McIntyre, Eliza Dushku, Will Arnett, and Amy Poehler - is getting a run in local theaters. "After the reception it got at the various film festivals, we thought it deserved an actual shot in theaters," McLaughlin told us yesterday. The film's financial backers are funding a two-week run starting March 14 at five theaters, including West Newton Cinema and the Somerville Theatre. At the March 12 screening to benefit the Joey Fund (http://www.joeyfund.org/), McLaughlin and actor-producer Lance Greene will join the film's leading lady, Jill Flint, and actors Mike O'Malley, Lucas Caleb Rooney, and Bob Wahlberg and his son, Oscar.

Lucas dear!! How are ya? My folks were visiting this past weekend from DC and I took them for a ride on the trollery from Lexington to Concord (Dad's a history buff).....the colonial tour guide told us as we were driving past a tavern that the "Mind your P's & Q's" meant mind your pints & quarts back in revolutionary times. ROCK ON right?! LOL! Take care and big hugs from OB's biggest fan!
