How Twitter Changed My Life In A Year

Fail Whale Book – The Video

Yeah, I shot a video. Actually, Allie shot and directed, I acted and edited. I think as I make more of these they're going to get easier. So without further ado....

Commercial Appeal

You see how craftily Jonathan Nail usurps this picture with his wit and charm. We were at a networking event last week, a pre-screening for the Streamy Awards, which happen in the Spring. Yes, I'll be there. I'm scoring Jonathan's masterpiece webseries "SOLO The Series," which Allie is producing. I'm compiling a list of Indie bookstores in and around Los Angeles. Why? Because I'm ...

You Don’t Have To Wear Pants On The Radio

I've known Gina Yates and Jason Burns (pictured above is Gina and Jeff Phillips, the other third of LAGenX, who I met the day of the broadcast) from LAGenX for a long time. I've been following Gina almost since the beginning of my time on Twitter, and reading the ramblings of Jason for about the same. Gina and I met at my first tweetup, which you can read about in the book (Porn Icon Ron J...

I Quit

The image above came from http://www.wordle.net/, which lets you take a slew of words and create art out of them. I was referred to the site by successful author Michael. C. Cordell, or as I know him @SoCalVillaGuy. His book "In The Foothills" is a collection of poetry and short stories, and is available on Amazon.com now. I quit. I don't want to go to even one more f**king networkin...

“Sir, You Need to Wear Pants on This Flight.”

The book is starting to prepare for takeoff, and I'm wearing my pilot uniform. This picture of Allison and I was taken this morning at the Burbank Small Business Networking Breakfast. It was taken by Jenny Beatty of Bandwagon Graphiks, who apparently had nothing better to do than take pictures during a networking event. Not shown: Carter Mason picking his underwear out of his butt. T...

Drunken Tweeting

Last night I partook in drunken tweeting with these people. They're troublemakers (one of them is related to Allie), you have to watch them every second. Fortunately for everyone involved, I wore pants. You have to be careful when you tweet while drinking. Especially if you're me, because the majority of my friends are on Twitter, so there's no anonymity whatsoever. I'm already on t...

My First Valentine’s Day…

... was spent with this woman. Last night. I made her a four course meal, complete with crème brûlée. I gave her roses and a ring with emeralds, and she bought me a beautiful set of harmonicas, which came from a comment I made during our trip to the Tucson Film and Music Festival last year. We watched a documentary about the harmonica, and I remarked that it made me wish I had one s...

It’s Hard Being Naked

I suppose, at some point in the writing process, it occurred to me that people would be reading my book. I didn't really think about it, I tried to write the book like a journal, it let me open up without worrying about judgment. But there was definitely a point when I realized that people would be reading this thing. I think it's the day the proofs showed up at my door. Staring back at me...

Welcome To My Launch

That's right boys and girls, the book is finally out. Trust me, I'm as glad as you are. I've got some exciting posts coming up about the writing and publishing process, and info on book signings and a launch party. You can purchase the book from this site (if you want a signed copy) or from Amazon below. Make sure you subscribe to the rss feed or email updates so you don't miss a thing...

"In The Belly Of The Fail Whale" will be released on January 22nd, but you can order a copy now for pre-order only sales prices! Go to the order page for more details. Psst. It's right HERE. They'll be more posting soon. By me. The guy who may or may not have pants on.

The last few month that’s how I’ve constantly felt. No matter how much I get done, or how much sleep I forgo, it’s never enough. I sent New City Entertainment, who is handling my marketing and promotion for the book, 3 completed chapters today. I’ve been working on the book in a way that’s different than, say, fiction. Because the chapters are broken up by month, I’m able to work on them all simultaneously as I move through the last year of my life. Today I closed up the first 3, aside from proofreading, they’re completed. Now I’ve got to polish off the other 11 and the Follow Friday story in the next week.

It’s been a busy few months of scoring, I’m currently working on @jonathannail’s comedy sci-fi webseries “SOLO,” and I’m close to embarking on @HllywdEMB’s “A Note To Etienne.” I’m also doing freelance writing for the website LIFTr, which will be launching full-force soon.

The only way I can see to get all this work done is to stay awake from now until…. well, I’ll let you know when there’s a stopping point.
