Bio
I'm a 22 year old, singer/songwriter/actor/author/waiter/radio personality/student (whatever I decide to be this week) ;) I enjoy anything and everything creative. I love conversation and despise mindgames. I'm a very straight forward person, what you see is what you get. I'd love to do some traveling in the next couple months; see the world and all that stuff. I enjoy reading any of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles Books; all Stephen King Books; all Micheal Crichton books as well as any Writing Reference book. I blew over a grand on Fiction writing books, and books on New York and the NYPD etc. I just finished writing a psychological thriller about an abusive alcoholic NYPD Detective and a mentally unstable ex-Forensic Psychologist. It's really two parallel stories about the lives of the two characters and then there's also the main plot where there's a serial killer ritualistically murdering people in the exact same way a convicted, (and executed) murderer had. So now the question becomes, "is the serial killer just a copycat? or did they execute the wrong man for the murders." (The novel is so much more than that, but that's the basic jist). Right now I'm working on revisions and looking for a literary agent. But yeah, I'm really into movies. 3 years ago me and a bunch of friends made a independant film based on a novel I'd written, and hopefully this fall we'll shoot the sequel to it. My favourite movies include (but aren't limited to) Se7en, The Game, Vanilla Sky, Usual Suspects, Out of Time, Face/Off, Imposter, 12 Monkeys, Boondock Saints, Runaway Jury, Labyrinth, Memento, Fight Club, etc. I'm big into survival horror games, such as all the games in the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series but also enjoy platform and RPGs. I play the guitar and write my own songs, but I also play a lot of covers. I listen to a lot of Dashboard Confessional, Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, Marylin Manson, David Bowie, Pilate, Third Eye Blind, Jimmi Hendrix, The Who, Rachmaninov, Mussorski, Prokofiev and other Russian Composers, David Usher, Lifehouse, etc. (You can tell I love music). I'm also a big lover of TV shows like Smallville, CSI:NY, House, CSI, Family Guy, 24, That 70s Show, The Simpsons, etc. In fact, I've also blown a lot of money on TV Seasons on DVD. I have all of the CSIs, all the Family Guy, all the 24, all the That 70s Show, and all the Smallville. ;) And I have a couple Fraggle Rock DVDs too. But yeah, that's a condensed version of who I am. If you wanna learn more just read my posts.
