TEEN SUES PARENTS



Oddly enough during my 30 year tenure as an officer in a major metropolitan city being called to quell numerous family disputes, I've found many parents dysfunction is allowing their offspring to curse them. 

Some even beat their parents, while mom and dad continue coddling and financing them.  Often times providing a roof to their kid's boy/girlfriends and whatever children might come from that union.

And if the child leaves, after a good sob story many times a kind hearted person will take them in and believe the child is being mistreated.



Phone message left for Liz Canning from Rachel at July 2, 2013 1:18pm, submitted to Morris County Court, which got the judge apparently so angry:
'Hi mom just to let you know you're a real f**king winner aren't you you think you're so cool and you think you caught me throwing up in the bathroom after eating an egg frittatta, yeah sorry that you have problems now and you need to harp on mine because i didn't and i actually took a s*** which i really just wanna s*** all over your face right now because it looks like that anyway, anyway i f***ing hate you and um I've written you off so don't talk to me, don't do anything I'm blocking you from just about everything, have a nice life, bye mom'

The Haunting of Leigh Maxwell

I can't tell you how excited I was. My friend and mentor Esther Luttrell asked me to do a voice over.

It's not everyday one gets asked to perform by a producer of the off beat comedy LITHIUM SPRINGS who is also the author of several book titles including:

The fun children’s book SPEARFINGER.
The writer’s informative SCREENWRITER’S Q & A
The mystery novel INVITATION TO A MURDER
The highly therapeutic MURDER IN THE MOVIES
Two inspirational books DEAR DEAN … LOVE, MOM
& BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH

Esther has been involved in many films and television productions, ie. Little House on the Prairie and LA Confidential, just to name a few. She was also production coordinator of the hit television series CHiPs.

Although I’d been writing a long time, Esther basically taught me how to write a screenplay. So there was no question as to whether I would graciously accept the opportunity to promote her novel. 

Find out more about Esther and see all of her titles at estherluttrell.com. Or copy and paste, http://www.estherluttrell.com/index.html

Presenting a 44 sec. book trailer.

New Horizons

Hi friends! Remember that guy that gave up? Yeah, nobody else does either. 
The past year came and went in the blink of an eye. Although I finished as a Finalist in the 2013 WriteMovies32 screenplay contest, and placed in the Quarter finals of several other top rated competitions, I'm still working hard at marketing my envisions.

I thought I'd share with you my new envision for the Sci-Fi horror movie project HIGHER DIVINE.
                        A tale of when Pinocchio meets the sisters of Medusa.

An extraterrestrial puppet evolves into a soldier. After a war destroys his planet, he looks to Earth for his destiny. While his foes plot to eradicate Earths people, he defends it taking them on head to head.

So why are the authorities trying to stop him?

Watch Actor Jeff Solomon read the role of
the dynamic Israeli Security Agent Martin Llessur.



The other is my envision for the movie project THEIR PRESENCE. It's a gripping, chilling crime-drama about the inception of the Bloods and the Crips street gangs.

Neon, the protagonist of this police drama becomes Kingpin, out for money and territory. His tumultuous journey of drugs, robbery, and murder takes us on a gripping police investigation.

Can the story of the beginnings of two of the most infamous Street Gangs in American history become one of inspiration, change and positive resolve?

Hi friends just a note to let you know April Brewster Smythe- Fort Wayne's Business Writer interviewed yours truly.  I agreed with her idea of using social media as a great way to benefit those who are entering the field of police work. Inquiring minds can follow the link. Thanks for the chat.

Formerly Bradley Ashe | JuntoBox Films

Formerly Bradley Ashe | JuntoBox Films

The screenplay won first place in the 2010 PSWA contest under the title Bradley Ashe. Since then I got the idea for a rewrite based on ancient Archeological markings found in Jerusalem.

It needed a new title. I changed it from Bradley Ashe and went with HIGHER DIVINE. Hopefully it enhanced the story.  It's a Sci-fi action thriller about how Peace in the Middle East was Won.

PLAYING FOR THEIR LIVES

When I was a child, my mother used to tell me “If you don’t have anything good to say to someone, don’t say anything at all.” Then she added, “…while they are in the area.” A few of my gentlemen associates and I, when we are together on the golf course, will occasionally miss hit the ball sending it errant.

On those occasions I’ve come to expect an occasional expletive. But as associates go, there is always someone who appears to be an otherwise “calm gentleman” that takes it a bit further. He will use the occasion to reak pompous arrogance, a seemingly delirium of dismay. He will air a wild vulgar tirade which I’ve dubbed the disease of “Potty mouth.” You’d think he was playing for his life.

Over the years I’ve come to understand that what mom was trying to do was teach me to be civil, to educate me in the fine art of political correctness. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve heard bad words. Offending good taste, I’ve spoken them to others. Equally, after my first thirty years of life I’ve been called every name but a child of God. Because of it, I’ve grown a very thick skin.

The disease is not a problem for me per se; it is only when someone not an associate, a respected personal friend, girlfriend or Church member if you will, joins our group. That’s when my spider senses begin to tingle.

“HEY, A LADY IS PRESENT!” is invoked. There, I have declared the unwritten rule; the line that gentlemen don’t cross. But it is only met with defiance. Without question a clear and distinct wanton disregard for the newcomer replayed in a second exhibition, only this time showcased to be the pièce de résistance. Avoiding an altercation we journey on to the next hole accepting the fact that he’s an asshole.

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed golfing with both genders. If in his highest professional manner the golf starter pairs the fairer sex with men, far be it from me to object, after all everybody has a right to play the game.

As thick skinned as I might be, I’ve found an aversion for embarrassment by a verdict of guilt by association, and cringe at the sight of my associate’s next wayward strike. Usually during these times I perceive the distastefulness of the Potty mouth disease. I am overcome by a desire to distance myself from the irreverence profanities of my associate. Call it chevalier, even a bit archaic, but we’re talking about the sex that bears our young.

And so we continue our game trying to stay positive. By the eighteen hole, if he’s kept the ball in the fairway, we’ve got little to complain about. We walk away from the game now knowing the countenance to avoid. We now have something to talk about, maybe even tell the grand kids, but it will be a long time before we play with the associate again. But what on earth would we tell the grand kids? Maybe only a riddle.

When does an associate become an asshole? Answer: When he leaves the area.
