About Me


Underdog...I guess that's what I like to describe myself as. It seems self depricating to say that about myself, but it's true. Actually, I prefer being against the odds. It makes me look better when I beat them. LoL
I'm not exactly the run-of-the-mill type of twenty-something year old, and those that know who I am know that. I live my life very differently than most of my friends. I'm married to the most wonderful woman in the world, and we have a son that is truly my pride and joy. Sure, I may have gotten married and had a son early (to some people), but I have found something in my 20's that people look for their whole lives to find. I guess that's my way of saying, "Fuck You" to those that criticize. LoL
I'm a big kid. My son keeps my inner-child at play, I guess. I'm a big geek when it comes to import cars, drifting, poker, and video games. I can be pretty corny and random at times. I like being different...everyone says that, but I try to make myself out of the ordinary, but not in a freak-like kind of way. I'm into any and every type of music out there...yes...even country. But my main rotations on my iTunes are hip-hop, rock, R&B, jazzy/loungey type music, and electronic music.
If you haven't noticed, I'm a big fan of my car. I love Subarus, especially the Impreza (RS, WRX, and STi). From what I see, the subculture of the Subaru owner is like no other. It's hard to explain unless you have one for yourself. I'm rocking my 2005 WRX. No...not an STi...I don't exactly make the big bucks for me to roll in that 300HP beast. LoL
Drifting...I LOVE drifting. I've been following the D1 stats for some time now. As much as I enjoy speed and power, the art and skill of the drift driver is one to behold. It's all about style, speed, and technique. I'm a terrible drifter in real life, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the motorsport.
Poker is life, and life is Poker. Poker is another major passion of mine. With poker being in the mainstream, it seems redundant to say that, but I am the student of the game. I'm not saying I am one of the best out there, and I know that I am not. I'm not bad at the game, but why I love it so much is because of the theories involved in poker...Texas Hold 'Em primarily. The way a person plays poker says a lot about how they live their life.
I'm pretty open, and if you want to know what's up with me...just ask...and maybe...if you're good...then I'll tell you about it.

Late night dinner with my son.

"Daddy, I'm hungry...I really am." I am looking at my 5-year-old son with a big smile on his face as he watches his favorite cartoons. He should be sleeping but he got a sudden case of the munchies. S...

Thanks for the new car, Mom! I’ll go kill myself now!

I got a phone call from my sister today. She was angry about the fact that one of her classmates got a WRX. But before you jump into conclusions as to why, Geni and I were angry about the same thing. ...
