About me: *******************************************************
***************************************************************
I am a writer and director living in Des Moines, Iowa.
I moved my movie "The Tale of the Toe" to the Gonzeaux Films site, so you can see it there.
This is the trailer for "Brutality", a film I wrote and produced for the 48 Hour Film Project. My best friend David Jayne directed.
The film will have its World Premiere at the Fleur Cinema and Cafe Thursday August 2 at 7pm. I strongly suggest everyone attend.
Deluxe DVD release will follow.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine...It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
--Marriane Williamson

I am a devotee of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (aka "Amma") "The Divine is present in everyone, in all beings, in everything. Like space it is everywhere, all pervading, all powerful, all knowing. The Divine is the principle of Life, the inner light of consciousness, and pure bliss. It is our very own Self."--Amma

Did I mention I have my own All Girl Kung Fu Army?
Who I'd like to meet: I am 100% in love with Megumi Yabushita. She is a Japanese MMA fighter and Pro Wrestler (she's the one in the black.)
Everyone else that used to be in this space has moved WAY DOWN on the list. (Sorry Maya.)
Hey man, I still have the bass but I've been using it a lot lately for original stuff so I doubt I'll be letting it go anytime soon!
That's right; Fender Ampeg Boobies
That's a pretty perfect trio if you ask me! I probably could replace the Ampeg with beer though and it would be equally as good! LOL! Good to have you aboard my friend. Talk to you soon!
listen to anyone, call me. I promise to be there for you but also promise to remain quiet. But one day if you call and there is no answer, come fast to see me. Perhaps I need you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk or how close you are and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. Did you know... There are 20 angels in the world, 10 are sleeping, 9 are playing, and 1 is reading this. Send this to 10 friends including me. If you get more than 5 back then your truly loved
And the pic you took of me from Halloween isnt on your page because...? Wait. Don't tell me. You're keeping THAT one just for you hmm? Thanks for making the night so fun. Hope to see you again soon. *SMOOCH!*
