Spending time with my family, 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)...

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.
Recent and Current Projects: * Enjoying time with my first-born son, Jackson! :-) * Spending time with my gorgeous H. :-) * NEW BOOK OF SHORT STORIES: ....EVERY NUMBER IS LUCKY TO SOMEONE,'' IN STORES NOW. :-) Various book signings, readings and events on www.seanleary.com. Hope to see you there!
* Writing and illustrating a new childrens' book, HERE COMES THE GOOT!
*Writing the romantic road trip novel "Speed Of Sound'' (for current and past chapters, check out my blog.)
* Writing the paranormal romantic comedy literary novel ....Synchronicity.''
* Produced and directed the Midwest independent theater premiere of the Broadway show ....The Pillowman.''
* Setting up screenings for my new film, "Your Favorite Band'' (www.yourfavoritebandthefilm.com)
* In pre-production and writing the screenplay for the independent film "The R-Complex''
* Executive producing the debut CD for the band Mommy's Little Monster, which features a song I wrote, ....Talk Talk.''
* For more info and stuff, see www.seanleary.com... it's got all the goods on various projects, writings, etc.
AND TO CHECK OUT A SCENE FROM MY MOVIE, ....YOUR FAVORITE BAND'' ( MORE DETAILS AT WWW.YOURFAVORITEBANDTHEFILM.COM )... SEE BELOW...
Who I'd like to meet:
I've already met the woman of my dreams. But I would like to meet future me, so he could tell me what people to write down here who would be fun, cool, chatty, interesting, inspirational and intriguing -- and who would be stopping by this site every once in a while to trade great ideas and meaningless but entertaining banter.
I'm also blessed to have met my amazing son, Jackson.
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I am deleting my myspace account.
There are just too many SPAMers, and such so I'm done with it. I've
also been getting stalked & I prefer to keep my life private.
LOL....I'm writing you specifically in hopes you add me on Facebook. IF
you don't have one...GET ONE PLZ!!!! I'm pretty much on anyones friend
list that went to Rocky or family, if you can't find me for some
reason. So hope to see you soon! Thanks for taking the time to read
this!
