    <title>clintcatalyst's Journals on Buzznet</title>
    <description><![CDATA[I'm the author of the speed-addled collection of stories and spoken word text stitched together and entitled COTTONMOUTH KISSES , which is basically a how-to guide for aspiring degenerates of all sexual orientations and flamboyant fashion persuasions.  I also co-edited an anthology of exclusive stories entitled PILLS, THRILLS, CHILLS and HEARTACHE with the fabulously talented Michelle Tea (not only one of my favorite writers, but also one of my closest friends).  The book title pretty much sums up what the stories entail...I mean, what else is there in life, anyway?

But WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE TODAY?

Well, I have two separate book projects on the back burners, as it's difficult to dedicate time to them now since my foray into television.  I've worked in both genres: scripted and &quot;reality.&quot;  Note the quotation marks, since I'm more than aware of how actual events can be edited for the sake of story.

Currently I'm trying to get stuff going in BOTH arenas... so keep your appendages crossed for me, please!  ;)  I moved to Hollywood with a ridiculously limited amount of funds and no one to &quot;hook me up&quot; with anything.  Matter of fact, I rode the bus for four months and packed food in carry-out boxes at a Mandarin/Chinese restaurant until I was able to work my way up to the measly position as a waiter.

What I'm attempting to communicate here is: I have no patience for people who tell me &quot;it can't be done&quot; unless you're born into the business.  It's taken me one little step after another for 8 years now to get where I am, and I still have a LONG way to go.

To sum me up: I'm not afraid to take risks or make a fucking commitment to go for what I want, despite the crooks and crannies along the path that don't always entail fun-filled perks of &quot;the good life.&quot;

Because I'm going for &quot;the good life,&quot; I know there are some shitty roadblocks along the way...

To the hindrances--and those who cause them out of boredom or just plain cruel intentions--hear me out:  SURVIVAL IS THE BEST REVENGE.

I've made it this far, when there were bets that I'd never see my 21st birthday.

Set a goal and go for it with every ounce of marrow in your being— and hopefully I'll meet you somewhere along the way...]]></description>
