1) Pop music
I love pop music. The most played artists on my iPod are
Garbage, Pink, Katy Perry, Zedd, Lana Del Rey, One Republic, Charlie XCX, Ellie
Goulding, John Williams, Michael Giacchino, and Sia.
2) First story ever
The first official typed out and fully presented story I
wrote was for a school project in the spring of 1977 (at the age of 12). It was
a hilarious, over the top epic space opera called “Among the Stars”, inspired
by the classic “Star Trek” episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion” and year two
of “Space 1999”. One of these days I’ll get it digitized and make it available.
3) Evolution in reverse
I am missing the human gene ally that caused the hominid predecessors
of Homo Sapiens to begin losing their fur (very roughly beginning about 1.2
million years ago). That is why I am such hirsute barbarian bastard.
4) Primal essence
This is what I would look like if I ceased all grooming
measures.
5) Odd jobs
I worked in a steel mill, a cemetery, in security, was a
stockbroker, and pitched screenplays in Hollywood.
6) I watch soap operas
It used to be “General Hospital” but now I am hooked on “The
Young and the Restless”. Hey, Victor was in “Escape from the Planet of the Apes”,
so that has to count for something. Out of the prime time soaps, I used to love
“The O.C.”.
7) Must get faster
Currently trying to work on my explosive speed to get faster
in the 50 and 100 meter sprints.
8) Smart and dumber
I used to be smart (with an I.Q of 147). But the ravishes of
time and age have left me somewhat dim-witted and sluggish. But I do still have
an excellent grasp of temporal physics and still remember every movie credit,
chart, or sports stat I ever saw and even can recite old articles and reviews I
read as a kid. Bizarre.
9) Legacy
My next novel (a new “Caitlin Star” adventure that will
bring the current trilogy to an unforgettable conclusion) will be my tenth
published book. Proof that indeed I did exist.
10) What I really want to do is direct
