I'm always being a good Mormon. Voting Repulican (95% of the time). Helping others. Videogaming and reading. Trying to always smile. Trying to always learn more about techtronics, videography, science, and art. Trying to be patient with timely matters (shipped items, long lines, and doctor's offices). Trying to give more than I get. Trying to stay young in mind, spirit and body. I've seen all 50 states. I've seen all the bottom provinces of Canada. I've lived in CA, MD, NJ, IL, UT, OK, AL. TX, and CO, as well as Okinawa for 3 years, the Marshal Islands for a year, and Korea for 2 months. I've also visited Baja Calif.

Don't Give Up on Me, I'm still Here !
Okay,

I haven't been here in about 6 or so weeks. I've been busy at Jamason discussion board, busy doing movies, busy recording music groups and mostly busy logging DVDs into my movie data bases. My dvd collection has increased by about 200 titles in the last 5 weeks. It takes about 20 minutes average per movie title to log the disc into all those Excel bases. I'm currently looking at 8 titles that came in today.

I'm currently looking at 26 posters on my watch list that need to be read and responded to. I will, honest I will, but not until this influx of discs get logged in. Then things will be back to normal. One poster, Esbat, has 121 posts alone. The total posts I need to read is 447 posts before I'm caught up. As you can see, it's a daunting task. One I'm not quite ready to conquer yet.

Please, be patient, or I'll soon be a patient!

PS: I did finally get my bid 72" Toshiba replacement set shipped to me about 4 weeks ago and that's also a major distraction of my time, using the HD 'Dish' receiver and the Xbox 360.

Name Mark J. Ferreri
Occupation Actor -TV, Film, Commercials, Music Vid.
Birthday April 9th, 1953
Interests Video Games. I also like mountain biking (mine is a 1983 Stumpjumper SC modified to 21 gears). I like SCUBA diving (I9;ve a PADI Advanced Open-Water license). I am involved in MIDI and use a 88 key Korg Trinity Pro 3 and a Roland 2080 rackmount w/ 8 expansion cards installed. I use Cubase SX3. I started collecting Legos about 10 years ago and now have about 45 000 that I keep separated by type in hundreds of tupperware containers (mostly Tecnics stuff). I like videography and use a Canon XL1 although I want to get the Canon VL H1 some day. I record music too using Cubase SX3 on my Mac 'Quad' or a Tascam DA-38 8 channel tape deck. I mix music with an analogue Tacam 16x8x2 board (Tascam MX-1600) and a new digital Tascam DM-3200 48x16x2 mixer. The Tascam 48-X digital 48 channel recorder is on my want list. I edit my video w/ Final Cut Studio again on the Mac 'Quad'. I've also bought over 2050 movie titles on disc.

Music I don't like almost all Rap music. It is filled with too much vulgar languaage. I don't like foriegn language opera (I don't understand it). I get bored with Mariachi music after about 45 Minutes. I get bored with Karen Carpenter and Barry Manillow after about 20 minutes. But other than that I love music! My preference depends on my mood sometimes. My Ipod (a 60 gig model) currently has 18 227 songs loaded on it. The songs are divided up into 52 different genre categories such as: Folk Rock; Small Jazz; Female Vocal; New Age; Classic Rock; Modern Instrumental; TV Tunes; Chamber Music; Musical Humor; Kids Music; etc. I usually just listen to them randomly. It's so fun with over 18 thousand songs to see what pops up next. I love it! If I had to only have one genre it'd probably be my Classic Rock (1967 - 1980)
Movies I have no favorite. Just as long as it's not porn or a 'B' class subtitled foreign flick I'd probably enjoy it (even dubbed 'B' karate flicks). I currently have over 2050 titles. I don't count my VHS titles anymore. VHS decays with a half-life of 5 years. Action Adventure Fantasy and SciFi (mostly the 'Popcorn Eating' movies) seem to catch me best with comedies and spoofs following but I like it all. I use the Top 100 and Top 400 lists from the IFC as well as Bravo's Top 100 and the IMDB.com Top 250 to help me decide which DVDs to buy next as well as the weekly reviews on new discs on the wwwIMDB.com site. I buy most popular theatrical films when they com to DVD too. Letterbox is all I want to watch if the way the film was shot waas in widescreen. I don't like seeing just part of the picture. When I watch movies NOBODY in the room talks. I like to be totally engulfed in the film. My 1 500 watt home theater wasn't made for folks who talk through movies nor my 72" screen made for distrac
TV Shows As with the other categories I like just about everything. I don't like Pro Wrestling. I try to watch football Sunday afternoon and then the ESPN football game Sunday night as well as Monday Night Football. I also try to catch Joepardy as much as possible. I don't like some of the 'Reality�39; shows but then I'm biased because as an actor every 'Reality' show that's broadcast means one less show that I can work on. Work is hard enough to get as it is. I mostly watch the movie channels Fox News channel the Military Channel Animal Planet G4 Spike and ABC NBC Fox and CBS. I watch other channels too though especially for a good movie. I am getting addicted to Deal or No Deal also and I hate that I must waste my time watching it. I don9;t watch shows just because I've had a part on them. I don't do ';soapers'.
Books I love books. I have no favorite genre of books. As a Mormon I read the Bible and other religeous books. Every year I read the Book of Mormon again. I have a hard-cover library that takes up over 130 linear feet of shelf space. I have Classics Hobbiest books Encyclopedias Biographies SciFi Photography A/V Computer How-to Books Sciences (lots of them) and Math books among the books in the collection (over $35 000). I have Time Life libraries of the 'Sceince' 'History' Photography and 'Travel' series. I've got almost 100 National Geographic hard cover books. I�39;ve got over 300 Easton Press and dozens of Franklin Mint` books. Even the paperback library is sizable mostly manuals guides SciFi pulp and special-interest books. I just read the 6th Harry Potter book. Next will be the books for Final Cut Studio. Then I'll read somer more fiction probably the kid's book called 'Eldest' by Christopher Paolini.
