The Old Man and The Sea

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is the first full book I really remember reading and saying- WOW- That was a great book! It's actually the first full book I remember reading. Which would lead me on to more and more reading and which would eventually turn reading into one of my loves.

My father handed me this book when we were preparing to do a road trip to Bainbridge Ga. I wanna say I was in the 6th or 7th grade. I was not a big fan of reading at all then. I would read scripts, and I would write scripts and stories- but reading a full novel- NO WAY! I took it and was glued to it from the second I started to the second I finished it. It was an amazing book. I wish I still had the copy that my father handed me. I like to keep that kind of stuff now. It all seems so important to me these days.

Anyway, I walked in to a book store and purchased a copy of The Old Man and the Sea, and a Stephen King book that I had not heard of called, Blockade Billy. I am a huge Stephen King fan who collects his books. (sometimes extra copies just to give away to people that look like they would enjoy them- If I see a King book for a deal, and I already own it, Chances are- It will end up in my collection so I can eventually add it to someone else collection.

Anyway, Reading has become a vacation for me when I really need one. I bought this book with hope that my son will read it and it will change my life as well. He has not really shown interest in the Old Man and the Sea Yet, but after reading the back of Blockade Billy, he has shown an interest in that.

Stephen King is truly my favorite story teller. It is on my list to eventually play a role in a Stephen King film.

So 1 great book and 1 book bound for greatness here I come. Right after I have a meeting in regards to a new project. I am very excited. I had started this piece with a grand thought. Then my son burst into the room about how I must "Please" come out and play basketball- in which I gave in. Hopefully, he will give in and take on the enjoyment that reading has brought me one of these days. Stephen King if you ever read this- I could be one of your characters- Your films on my bucket list...... and who knows when i'm gonna go- so we better hurry this up.

Webpage, Me Page- Whatever!

I think the time has come to just go crazy. I don't want to say I am about to start creating a Christopher Inlow world because the truth is... I have been creating this creative world since I was born. With the exception of sports- all I remembering doing my entire life has revolved around arts. Acting, Singing, Writing, whether it be stories or children's poetry.

I am finally really getting my webpage in order to highlight what I do- I create. I create characters, I create lyrics, and melodies, and poetry, and everything. I do my best to bring other people's characters
to life as well. It may sound hokey- but that is what i do! My entire life revolves around art and my son.

So let's get this going!

My webpage is going to begin showcasing me as a whole entertainer. For some reason I really only allowed myself as an actor to be portrayed through my webpage. There is a lot more to me then that.

There will be a section for
Music: The idea of this is that although I am not in a band. I will continue to write lyrics and melodies. I will record them professionally (I hope) and post them up for your, Djs, Record lables, Whoever's listening pleasure. People will be able to lay down their own usic behind what I am doing if they wish- Or sample a section- whatever they wish. I need to continue writing music and this seems like the most logical solution.

Slo Frank will also have a section as well. If you don't know Slo Frank is my award winning Horror Host Character and one of my best friends. He is a nutty, fun, loving side of my personality.

Uncle Cee, That is the pen name to which I have recently begun putting out my children's poetry under.

Of course my acting work, film work, etc... There is going to be more- but we will get there. It's about time huh? It's about time.
