About Me

"I am me, but I aspire to be more like..."

I live a life filled with joy, wit, and adventure! I try to embrace every moment with confidence and humor, adapting effortlessly to any situation while not taking life too seriously, and always staying true to myself!

 

I’m irreverent yet charming, thriving in solitude or in company, and mastering the art of clever misdirection when necessary. I face setbacks but am committed to rising again, correcting my course, and persisting! My drive isn't heroism or pure selflessness, but I am selfish knowing that helping others genuinely makes me feel good - even if it's just for a fleeting moment of relief for them. I am...

​BUGS BUNNY

(With his trademark nonchalance, leaned back and drawled)

Uh…What’s Up, Doc?"

Feigning shock, Bugs arches an eyebrow and bites into his carrot. His voice carries a playful edge, yet his eyes sparkle with mischief.

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​JD

It isn't your stage, Bugs. It's mine. And knock it off with calling me, 'Doc'!

​​​

BUGS BUNNY

Jeez, really? It's all about you? Who's gonna give a hoot about you, Doc?

[Bugs Bunny tosses the half-eaten carrot to JD and heads off.]

​​

JD

Hey, where you goin', Bugs? Bugs?!"

 

JD's words echoed in the sudden silence.​ He Sighs. But he knows his friend will return.  With a sheepish grin, JD turns to the invisible audience and-

 

JD

Hi, I’m JD Shapiro. Uh... I want to be like Bugs Bunny."

Bugs Bunny returns, looks JD over and-

 

BUGS BUNNY

Tell the folks out there how much money your movies have made world wide so far.

JD

No. 

BUGS BUNNY

Tell them about the projects you have going in 2025.

JD

 In time they will see them.

BUGS BUNNY

What about telling them all the awards you've won, including the one that has your name on it and is the crappiest movie ever made.

JD

No to question 1. Question 2: "Battlefield Earth."

BUGS BUNNY

I see. You want to talk about your failures more than your successes.

JD

Bugs, you know better than that. Failure is a matter of time. A way to learn nd grow. No such think as failure unless you quit at something you love.

BUGS BUNNY

 Ohhh, a wise guy. Get it? "Wise" guy.  I crack myself up!

JD

That makes two of us.


GAMBARU! 頑張る 🖖🏼❤️✨
