I don't know about you but I get real tired of explaining who I am to people. I mean, sometimes when I get an e-mail or whatever I have to type out a bunch of stuff that informs the asker about myself. I only type with one finger and it gets boring anyway. It seemed a whole lot eaiser to just make a page out of it, you know? With that in mind, I slapped this little sucker together by filling in a bunch of blank spaces in an Angelfire html form.
So...
Let's see here...
My full name is Rock Benjamin Armstrong. Really (but you can call me "cat" or "d.cat chopra" if you'd rather be formal). I live in Santa Monica, California, where I was born on 3/12/56. I'm a Pisces. I wear glasses. I'm a huge media freak, almost a geek even. I used to write for The New Monkees TV show and I once worked in The Beverly Center (a rather upscale mall in Los Angeles).
I've written a screenplay called "The Angora Conundrum" and am at this time working on a self help book for people that hate self help books (if I ever get over my freaking writer's block).
If you'd like more information click on the links below or give your mom a call. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you if you can possibly manage to find the time.
