1.
I’m the only Jack Sekowski in the world.
Let me know if you find another one. I may have to do something about it.
2.
As a child, I was fascinated by typewriters. My parents could take me to a party, put me in a back room with one, and I could entertain myself typing gibberish for hours. Shape of things to come? Not the gibberish part, of course.
3.
I’m convinced that I got my 6 foot 3 frame, long limbs, and blue eyes from a Swedish military officer when Sweden invaded Poland in 1655. I hope that my Slavic fore-mother was agreeable to the union.
4.
Though I graduated from the Ohio State University, I never attended a Buckeyes football game. I’m convinced that there’s a special place in hell for me.
5.
I picked the American Film Institute for graduate school because they didn’t have a football team.
6.
I believe I died and went to heaven while eating steak frites and drinking a red Bandol at the Carlton Hotel beach restaurant in Cannes while observing a beautiful woman rubbing sun tan lotion into her perfect bare breasts a mere six feet away from me.
(No picture. Use your imagination.)
7.
There are 7 foods I don’t eat.

10.
My pizza with San Marzano tomato sauce, smoked mozarella, Parma proscuitto, Parmigianno Reggianno, and fresh basil is to die for. Okay, any of my pizzas is to die for. Even the calzone.

I adore German Shepherds because they’re smart, loyal, and stunningly beautiful!
From my days volunteering at the German Shepherd Rescue in Burbank, CA.
12.
After German Shepherds, goats are pretty amazing, too!
13.
Yeah, that’s me touching her butt and walking away alive!
And let’s not forget about tigers! The biggest, the baddest, the most amazing felines of the jungle.
14.
I speak Polish with an American accent and have been known to translate American idioms into Polish with great failure.
I speak English with a slight Polish accent. You have no idea how hard it is to keep that up.
