Spirit in the Sky
At school, bullies were never welcome in our presence, and all the students knew it. We were always chasing bad kids. But now that I think about it, we were probably the bullies. Continue reading Spirit in the Sky

I was born in Mexico, I moved to L.A. in late 1977. I became a USA Citizen a few years later. At the citizenship ceremony I had to swear that I would fight against all foreign enemies (including Mexico) in favor of my new country. I beg God that never happens. I love music, Rock, funk, punk, soul, pop. Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Temptations, and all you can fit in between. Playing pool, listening to rock and having a beer is great, but reading a book, writing a story or watching a good film is even better. I hate guns, bad people, and evil leaders. I thank God I'm not a racist person. I hate all kinds of injustices. I love good people. I would give my life in a second to save any child. Children are the most precious thing in the world. My ultimate goal is to shoot a feature film based on one of my stories. Every day I work a little more to be able to reach that goal.

Believing in ghosts or the afterlife was not my thing. But after the real-life… Continue reading The Psychic
Part-Time Actor

Read the short story and watch the 4min. short film at the end. #ShortStory #ShortFilm #PartTimeActor They began shooting at ten in the morning. The entire crew was ready when the Director gave the first instructions of the day: “Camera, action!” The first scene of the day was between two actors, John the hit-man and Sharon his driver. They sat in the living room across from each other. John cleans a gun. “Man, this gun looks real,” John says. “Cut!” … Continue reading Part-Time Actor

Method Actor
The main actor was a little precocious, even for a three-year-old kid. He required naps in between takes. He also demanded milk and cookies during breaks. His real name was Lucius Night, which was perfect for the role. There was no need to change it. Continue reading Method Actor
The Psychic
“Wow, at this point you could be one of my worse clients ever. You almost stepped over the line. You were disrespectful, not just blunt. If you leave now I wouldn’t feel offended; instead, I would be pleased. Tell me, why would you go to church if you have no faith?” she replied.
An Accidental Dream
I must have lost a million brain cells when I hit my head. I hope I still have some left.I don’t remember my age either. This so absurd and confusing.
