ABOUT ME

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

I live a life filled with joy, wit, and adventure! I 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 am cocky yet humble, never arrogant. 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

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."

(beat)

But not as rude.

BUGS (Off Screen)

I ain't rude!

Bugs Bunny suddenly  returns. He  looks JD over and-

 

BUGS

Why don't you tell the folks how much money your movies have made world wide so far.

jD

No.  That's the past.

​​​

BUGS

Ok, then tell 'em about the projects you're doing now.

jD

 They will see them. 

BUGS

You mean "A very few people will see 'em"

jD

Wise guy!

BUGS 

Not-smart ass!

BUGS BUNNY

Why don't you tell them about the awards you've won, including the

ones you can't  talk about due to the stupid NDA's you signed.

jD

You wan't to get me sued?

BUGs

It would be fun to watch!

jD

Wise guy!

BUGS

Not-smart ass! 

(beat)

How 'bout you tell the folks about the worst, suckiest, crappiest, stinker of

a movie ever made that has your name on it as a writer.

jD

"Battlefield Earth." There, I admit to it.

BUGS

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 and grow.

No such think as failure unless you quit at something you love and-.

BUGS

Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.

Bugs Bunny putss his fingers in his ears, raspberries jD and heads off.

jD

I need to pick better friends.

BUGS

I heard that!!!

jD

I meant for you to hear it!!!

BUGS

Why I aught to...
