: About Me

I write, and I'm an amateur, so I guess I could presume to call myself an amateur writer.

Right now I do movie reviews, interviews, and the occasional article for BumsCorner.com and a weekly humor piece for Andervision.com. At least I hope it's humor-I write what I think is funny and hope that the people who read it think so, too. Anyway, I attempt to write humor.

Most of the stuff mentioned above ends up in my MySpace blog. Check out "my favorites" for the links if you'd like to see some of it.

If you look at my user image, you'll see a picture of my inner child. I'd love to be James Thurber when I grow up, but I'm still waiting for that to happen.

My passion is ...

movies.

I know too much about ...

movies.

My parents always told me ...

lots of useful things that I should have listened to.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a cartoonist.

My favorite memory ...

...is lost somewhere among all those other memories that I can't remember.

Why I write ...

I write because it's fun.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Right now I'm reading "Under the Wire" by Bill Ash and Brendan Foley.

My first job ...

...was as a sign-painter's helper.

My best moment ...

...hasn't happened yet.

My inspiration ...

...could come from just about anywhere.
