Writing novels, screenplays, stageplays, short stories, poetry, essays, columns, etc., painting, drawing, playing guitar, kickboxing (sport of the future), producing films and theater, playing with my dogs, writing songs, skinny skiing, going to bullfights on acid, nature communes with the zen philosopher Basho, utilizing my license to kill gophers by the government of the united nations (but only bad gophers; not Fred Grandy), crashing corn boils, high-impact ninja training, actually playing guitar for the rolling stones while Keith Richards just mimes it on stage and lives a cruel, whiskey-marinated lie, writing scripts for R. Kelly videos involving midgets hiding under beds, dispelling rumors in the tabloid media that the midgets hiding under the beds scripts are in any way autobiographical, fending off the repeated and increasingly lascivious advances of Bea Arthur (while obviously secretly loving them), keepin' it real-ish, being "down wit da clown,'' ghost writing the biography of Lenny, the Giant Pork Tenderloin, counseling Britney and K-Fed in their reconciliation and eventual Sonny and Cher-like musical tent revival and travelin' salvation show, making myself look far more interesting than i actually am in Internet profiles (except for this one, of course)...

Heroes
Mostly friends, family and loved ones who have influenced me and helped me along the way. Oh, and Mayor McCheese. He kicks ass.
About me: The best surfer in Rock Island, Illinois. Favorite film of all time? ....Repo Man.'' A Winter Olympic quarterfinalist in Paper/Scissors/Rock, or as they called it in Reyjkavik, ....Pkkrr/Ssokkrz/Yriak.'' Once guest-starred on a Very Special Episode of ....Full House'' as a teenage runaway hooked on meth who was cured through the rockin' music of Jesse and the Rippers (which makes the whole Jodie Sweetin thing extremely ironic and sad for me, although I'm happy to see she's conquered her addiction and hosting ....Dance Off/Pants Off.'') I like to take strong stands on important social issues (e.g. recently went out on a limb by stating ON THE RECORD that I thought nuclear war would be a reaaaaally bad idea. No letters, please!) Oh, and one more thing: No, my brother, you cannot borrow a copy of my ....Hey Soul Classics.'' You will have to buy your own.

Good to meet you, dude. Congrats on the baby. Mine only's six and he's ten handfuls. Or is that hands' full? I hope not. The world is full of too many plural possessive apostrophes the way it is. Writing, music, movies...I'll bet you've got some favorite recipes for a New Dad Cookbook, too, eh? :-) Think I'll put you on my top 40, just to keep it interesting. Cheers.
Thanks for the add! If you haven’t already, please check out my novel and hear the band on my page or at www. rogertrott. com. GETTING IN TUNE is about an angst-ridden guitarist who drags his band onto the road in search of the redemptive promise of Pete Townshend’s Universal Chord. It’s a fast, wild romp through the world of ‘70s rock & roll.
