What are your Goals and Dreams, Freaks??

[Memnoch]

It was pretty wild. Plus I tend to have some minor brushes with fame. In high school my chamber chior sang with Jo Dee Messina, I know many a lawmaker in PA, I've met 3 cast members from Rent. It's all about knowing what to do and where to be.

My goal.....to live an insanely simplistic life. I love my wife, love my friends, and love my family. I enjoy my job, I'm good at it and my Lt. knows it, and pretty much leaves me be.

I enjoy the closeness I share with the few people I keep close to me. I don't like large groups of friends, I don't like big cities, and I don't like the fast paced life.

I don't make loads of cash, I don't drive a fancy car, and I don't live in a big house.

But I'm happy, and thats enough for me.

Hmmm, goals & dreams, huh? Well, I think I've outlived most of my goals, but when I was a kid I always wanted to be in movies. Sci-fi or action is what I leaned towards. I did some acting in school, nothing big but it sure felt good. I think my best "acting" came on the night my wife [then my fiance] and I went to a Halloween party. Well...it was Halloween, I'm a huge Michael Myers fan so.....I became "the Shape". With makeup I "slit" my wife's throat and then I donned the overalls and mask. I had the car's tape player playing the Halloween theme as we drove to the party, my wife with her head back over the seat and I in full garb. It was great as we'd stop at traffic lights or stop signs and we could actually hear other people screaming out "Holy ****!! Its Michael Myers!!" . Then when we got to the party my wife went off to talk to a few friends and the Hostess of the party came to the top of the stairs. I just stood there at the base of the stairs, staring up at her, bloody knife in hand. She started naming names of who she thought I might be, hoping to elicit a response, but...I just stood there, breathing. She came down the stairs slowly, one by one, trying to get me to talk. I said nothing, just stared into her eyes. Then when she spoke, a frightened undertone in her voice, I tilted my head like Michael did in the movies sometimes. When she got to the point where she was visibly becoming disturbed by all of it and was almost pleading with me to unmask, I held my breath. She slowly approached a little closer. Then, I grabbed her neck and yelled Happy Halloween!!!. She screamed and threatened my genitals with undue bodily harm, but it was a great performance.
Other than acting, I regret not having entered the military out of High School, I had to join the work force instead after my Dad passed away.
I'd love to have enough extra money for every figure/accessory I wanted and a studio to properly film photostories in.
I wish I could sculpt.
I'd like to be able to paint like Josh and Les and Mikey.
I'd like a 1:6 Dusty to lead one of my photostory away teams.
I'd like Shai to post more pix of Stephanie.

My most important goal right now is to figure out what my goals are.

After that comes the easy part: achieving them.

BRILLIANT!
Everything about it is on except the wife part...that might be a goal in and of itself!...

I started out at age 14 thinking I was gonna be like Steven Spielberg (Post JAWS mania!). Movies again... yeah...I even got a degree in Video from Savannah College of Art & Design here in Savannah, Georgia, in 1988. Then, lost all interest in following film after seeing some produced around me. (That's when I met Keifer Sutherland and others...interesting experience...had me a great talk with Robert Downey Jr. though...he's cool!)
But, I left that idea, and all the hubris that comes with it, behind and my goals have simplified as time has passed.

Many of Chase's are also mine now. No big cities, No fast life.

I have smaller, more attainable goals now.
One, I reached recently, to go back and meet up with old Bob Burns again. To touch King Kong. The real one. To touch Gort. To make real all that stuff that had haunted me for so many years. To see that it was all just plastic and latex and let some of it go.
Still love all that, but now, I want a home and a family.
And I hope I am always on the edge. Not ever so placated that everything is always so easy. I want a challenge in there somewhere so I can keep going. Stay motivated.

Beyond that, more good friends.



So, here's to touching GORT!

I agree as well.... Sometimes things just happen that I cannot explain, giving me experience that I will need or reinforcing my dream. Everything is connected. My painting experience (Houses, Jets, Figures) will help me in the industry, my clothing work (weathering) will work as well, writing experience, acting, military time... it all adds to what I have to give. Now I just have to meet the right people and get underneath a fantastic property....

I believe I can do it... scary, but I believe.

Maybe you should think about being a props master? I met the props master on that show Las Vegas, and he was in the military for a while, painted, worked with clothing, etc. and he ROCKED as a props master. Especially when it came to guns and knives and other weapons Anyway, if you get good gigs, they pay a lot and it's really fun. (and you can get some free Sideshow figures to use as set dressing, like in 40 Year Old Virgin )

buy star wars from lucas and erase all the crap he pulled from the last decade. And shoot an official jar jar bink's death scene in the first minute of episode 1.

My goals? At this point I'm 35 and achieved my career goal of becoming a Graphic Artist/Designer.My main goals now are raising my little one year old and being the best father that I can to her and to be the best husband that I can to my lovely wife. There are many challenges that await, but as Les stated challenges keep you going. As long as I have my health and family's love I'm a happy man. I don't need millions or fancy cars or mansions. Life moves incredibly fast, I just want to spend as much of it as I can with my family.

My selfish goals? To be able to collect some of my favorite Sideshow collectibles, when I can.... and to work for Sideshow in the Graphic Arts dept!

I feel very fortunate to be at the job Im at now. I dont hate getting up and coming to work everyday and enjoy what I do.

That said, I would love to sculpt for a living at home on my own time (late at night) :blackbat .
But years ago I tried the learn to draw comics for a living and tbh it really took a lot of the enjoyment I got from comics out of the hobby busting ass trying to break into a VERY competitive field with no real stability. It quickly became work before it ever was real work at all and I dont want to chance that with sculpting. RIght now I sculpt to relax and purely for the enjoyment.

my ultimate dream would be doing special effects in the movie industry.
