General
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)...
