Writing- the profession in which you stare at a computer screen, stare out the window, type a few words, then curse repeatedly.
When a show ends, for a few days, my body sizzles with leftover energy, like a tree in the wake of a lightning strike.
There are a few YouTube clips of me singing at The King's Head in Santa Monica, so you can see how bad I am.
As a kid I read Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and a few others. As an adult have admired Leonardo da Vinci's drawings and notebooks.
I'd like to, when it's all said and done, say that I have at least a few stories that I feel proud of.
I try to read a Kindle Single a week, but I'm getting bad at that. I usually have a few books on the go.
When I was in the seventh grade I did a report about the environment and the loss of species. It was supposed to be only a few pages, but ended up being nearly 50.
Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities. The loved and the rich need no protection: they have many friends and few enemies.
There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

I have a few celebrity friends, but I'm really not into the whole Hollywood scene. I like to separate myself from my work. It stresses me out if I do too much of the same.
