"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free." - Red, The Shawshank Redemption

Future Plans:

I'm currently at UCSD struggling for a degree in Computer Science, with maybe a future minor in film. I'm thinking of working for Industrial Light & Magic or some other visual effects studio and possibly making my own films on the side. Acting will never leave me, and I may find myself trying to get back into that biz later.
