About me
Everywhere you read there’s always a section giving a little background to the author; the past, present, and various accomplishments or notable mentions, but does the reader actually understand where the author is coming from. I’ve decided to answer some questions and lists that may, or may not, give you a better look into my psyche.
Five Things I Don’t Ever Want to Forget:
1) The birth of my son.
2) The last words I said to my dad.
3) Who my real friends are.
4) Knowing that there is more to life than what I’m experiencing.
5) That love is a verb
Q: What creates balance in your life?
SEB: My son. When I get too wrapped up in my little world he reminds that there’s always time to be silly.
Q: What is your favorite word?
SEB: Thanks to Chelsea Handler, it’s Coslopus: a slang term for the vagina.
Q: If you could ask God one question, what would it be?
SEB: I’m a bit slow on the up-take, but could you possibly make YOUR signs more obvious?
Q: What is your least favorite phrase:
SEB: “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” I cannot, do not have the time, the energy, or the money to be part of the solution to every problem. I do what I can, when I can. Oh, and “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” Can we, for fuck-sake, bury this dumb-ass tourist board, marketing phrase.
Q: What is your favorite virtue?
SEB: Forgiveness. It’s something I’m trying to practice…some days are better than others.
Q: What turns you on creatively, spriritually, or emotionally?
SEB: Oddly enough, when it’s overcast, a bit windy…being uncomforted by it all but inspiring at the same time. Perhaps its the absence of distraction. I mean, I’d have a hell of a time trying to finish a script if I were living a house, on the beach, in Malibu, or Kona. I’d want to be outside, doing something.
Q: What are your favorite qualities in a woman?
SEB: Intelligence and looks, and compassion. Brains and a healthy body with a lot of understanding…yeah.
Q: What turns you on?
SEB: A smoking hot female body. Duh?
Q: What are your chief characteristics?
SEB: I’m easy on the eyes, I mean, I don’t look like a troll, I can be funny, I’m a good right-hand man, and I can lead. I follow my intuition a lot, and I’m very good at assessing a situation and acting upon it. I’m not sure if that makes me some kind of ideal, or just a good doorman.
Q: What turns you off?
SEB: People who quickly assume I’m THAT guy because I’m a blue eyed, white male.
Q: What do you appreciate the most in your friends?
SEB: Their understanding, and patience.
Q: What is your favorite curse word?
SEB: Fuck. Or any variation thereof.
Q: What is your main fault?
SEB: I get so overwhelmed in what needs to be done that I procrastinate and overthink.
Q: What sound or noise do you love?
SEB: My son laughing, and my wife reaching orgasm.
Q: What sound or noise do you hate?
SEB: Screeching tires, and children screaming to get their parents attention.
Q: What is your favorite occupation?
SEB: Being a writer and a painter.
Q: What profession other than your own, would you like to pursue?
SEB: Designer/builder/architect. Build homes, not houses, homes that have a purpose and a use. And if they’re not affordable, then why bother.
Q: What profession would you not like to do?
SEB: Social worker. I’d rather be the guy who cleans port-a-potty’s than the guy who has to monitor parents who are abusing their kids; to see the ugliness of society and know that because of due to process and bureaucracy that I am not an avenue for change.
Q: If you were ever to get caught in a public scandal, what do you predict it would be?
SEB: I guess a sex tape with someone, like Samantha Fox or Audrina Patridge. I’m not making an announcement or anything. I don’t know either of them, yet. So I can’t even begin to guess when our sex tape will come out. But if I had my way, it would be sooner than later.
Q: What is your idea of happiness?
SEB: Being able to do what I want to do without worrying about the price, and that my family is safe.
Q: What is your idea of misery?
SEB: Going to meeting after meeting after meeting and my project doesn’t get green lit.
Q: If you were not yourself, who would you be?
SEB: Brad Pitt. Someone who has gained some success, has the resources to do some good locally and abroad, is surrounded by a family that loves him, married to an attractive, supportive woman, and is able to get his projects done.
Q: Where would you like to live:
SEB: Ireland, or the Pacific Northwest.
Q: What is your favorite color? And why?
SEB: Red, and/or black. It’s not so much an individual color that I like it’s how it works, or contrasts, to the others.
Q: Who is your favorite author?
SEB: Currently, Ken Bruen. He creates visually stunning, flawed characters who are so anti-hero that you just feel for them.
Q: Who is your favorite poet?
SEB: Shel Silverstein. Funny, poignant, crazy poems.
Q: Who are your favorite painters?
SEB: Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, and Guerrero.
Q: Who are your heroes in real life?
SEB: My dad, Lee, and my very good friend, Ernie.
Q: What natural talent would you like to be gifted with?
SEB: The ability to play the piano like a jazz pianist.
Q: How would you wish to die?
SEB: After having sex. Not during. That would be creepy for everybody.
Q: What is your present state of mind?
SEB: Busy. I have a lot going on and the people with suits don’t seem to be in any hurry.
Q: Which fault do you have the most indulgence?
SEB: Those that I understand
Q: What is your favorite motto?
SEB: Go ahead, underestimate me.
Q: If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you reach the Pearly Gates?
SEB: “And the answer is yes.”
