Description A career? I've thought about this quite a bit sir and I would have to say considering what's waiting out there for me, I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I dont want to sell anything bought or processed or buy anything sold or processed or repair anything sold, bought or processed as a career. I dont want to do that. My father's in the army. He wants me to join, but I can't work for that corporation, so what I've been doing lately is kick-boxing, which is a new sport...as far as career longevity, I dont really know. I cant figure it all out tonight, sir, so I'm just gonna hang with your daughter.

I saw "Say Anything..." when it came out on video...and I don't want to say it changed my life, but it sure does seem that it influenced me. The star of that movie, of course, is John Cusack. A cool guy because a) he's just a kick ass actor..and b) he's from CHICAGO!!!!

So I've been trying over and over to finish this picture, and well...here it is. FINALLY!!! (right)

So please enjoy, thank you for all the faves when they come (I know I should get at least 2...) but those pile up, and I don't always get around to saying thank you.

Wow, this is so great. I love John C. he is great. Still trying to figure out my favorite one. The one with him in the hotel is really good. He is the perpetual hottie from next door.

My favorite is, and will always be, "Say Anything...." I really think I based the kind of person I am on his character in that movie. (you know, the whole don't be a guy, be a man thing....) Followed closely by Hi Fidelity, Better off Dead goes here, One Crazy Summer here, then American Sweethearts, then Sixteen Candles...(he was in it, not the star, but it counts...) I could go on and on here, but then you'd never comment back to me again, afraid that I would babble like this again....lol.

Thanks by the way, always appriciated...

Sorry I got sick and had to wait a while before I could come back. I think I am probably closer to Hi fidelity as a person however I am trying to work on that. The thing about his roles he portrays is they are so honest. You really believe he is whatever. That takes so much strength to do something like that.

no worries, takes me forever to get back sometimes...(i'm lazy) Strange how movies can do that to a person. (Don't get me started on ones like Big Fish....cried like a baby there)

Lol. I went to one a couple of years ago that did it without crunching any bones. Amazing stuff. I felt so much better. I know what you mean about pain. Sometimes doing things makes you forget for a a while.

I admire your style. It's very artistically loose, yet very accurate and detailed. Nice work (on basically everything you do)!

And it helps that John Cusack is so cool.
