Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my empire. Grab your popcorn, nachos and cold drinks, because you are in for a very entertaining show. ENJOY...
I am a 30-year old single male living in Albuquerque, and working as a civilian employee on Kirtland AFB (I'm not active duty). I have so such material that I have created a table of contents of all the material that I have listed on BOTH sides my profile.MY BIOGRAPHY:
Date of birth (location): November 10, 1977 (Taos, New Mexico). I was born on the EXACT SAME DAY as actress Brittany Murphy , and I ALSO had a former high school classmate who was born on the same day, AS WELL AS the same hospital room as me.
Height/weight: 6'1"/180 lbs.
Hair color: Black
Eye color:: Brown
Shoe size: 12
My strong hand: I am left-handed at just about everything, for the exceptions of eating with utensils and handshakes (I eat with my right hand).
Official website: I don't have one, but I do have a photostream on a photo sharing website called "Flickr." I am an amateur photographer, and over the years, I have taken COUNTLESS photos. Click here to see my Flickr photostream.PLACES I'VE BEEN:
This map , which I obtained from a website called World 66 , indicates where I have been. Vancouver, BC and Windsor, ON (both in Canada) are the only two places outside of the continental U.S. that I have been to. The closest to Mexico that I have been is along Paisano Drive in El Paso, Texas (near the UTEP campus). All of the states/provinces colored in red indicate where I have travelled to.
Big cities (not counting my current hometown of Albuquerque, NM):: Denver (countless times), Colorado Springs, Seattle, Vancouver BC, Detroit, Windsor ON, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, El Paso, Tucson, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Minneapolis/St. Paul (only briefly on a layover).
Historic sites, museums, natural features and points of interest: Pikes Peak Highway , Mount Evans Highway (west of Denver), Eisenhower/Johnson Memorial Tunnels (also west of Denver), Space Needle , Experience Music Project , Pike Place Market (all in Seattle), Capilano Suspension Bridge (Vancouver BC), Sixth Floor Museum (Dallas), Disneyland, Edsel & Eleanor Ford House (Detroit).
National Parks: Mount Rainier (Washington State), Mount Rushmore (South Dakota) and the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Reserve (Colorado).
Pro sporting venues: Invesco Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos), Coors Field (Colorado Rockies), Pepsi Center (Denver Nuggets & Colorado Avalanche), SAFECO Field (Seattle Mariners), Qwest Field (Seattle Seahawks), Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers), American Airlines Center (Dallas Mavericks), AmeriQuest Field in Arlington (Texas Rangers), Texas Stadium (soon-to-be the former home of the Dallas Cowboys) and HemisFair Arena (former home of the San Antonio Spurs).
High-mountain peaks: I have hiked up several peaks in the Sangre de Cristos in northern New Mexico, including Wheeler Peak (13,161'), New Mexico's highest mountain. I have also driven to the tops of the aforementioned Mount Evans and Pikes Peak, as well as driven countless times through Colorado's high mountain terrain.
Places I've never been, but would like to visit someday: THE FOLLOWING PLACES IN CANADA: The Canadian Rockies, Calgary AB, Whistler BC and Victoria BC; OTHER PLACES: Alaska, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Houston, Chicago, Miami/Key West, Washington DC, Boston, New York, Philadelphia.
Places I've already visited before, but can never get enough of: Anywhere in northern New Mexico and Colorado where high mountain scenery is visible (especially Denver & the Front Range and the San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado, just to name a couple). Seattle, Mount Rainier National Park , Vancouver BC (Canada), Dallas/Fort Worth, the Arizona desert (including Phoenix and Tucson).FAVORITES:
Food: Mashed potatoes & gravy, chicken, turkey, beef, crackers, cookies, tacos (without cheese), burgers (without cheese).
Fruits/Vegetables: Apples, Oranges, Cauliflower, Carrots, Grapes, just to name a few.
Drinks: Most juices, Sobe Power, Mountain Dew, Arizona Raspberry Tea, an occasional beer and a glass of wine (I'm not a heavy drinker).
Cereal: I just like eating Wheaties. If I get tired of Wheaties, I also like eating Chex or Cheerios.
Candy/Junk Food: Doritos, Tostitos, Baked Lays, Snickers.
Fast-Food Restaurants: I eat a lot of Subway. I'm trying to cut back on my fast-food intake, and Subway is like the healthy fast food. Sometimes, I like an occasional KFC, Wendy's or McDonalds.
Dine-in restaurants: I like Furr's Family Dining, and many other various family restaurants. I like eating at Hooters , although it is kind of expensive for a burger joint. For your curious information, YES I do enjoy watching those sexy Hooters girls walking around in their tank tops , hotpants and sexy pantyhose .
Scents: Cool mountain air, rainy air, scented deodorizers, grapes, citrus, the aromas from steakhouses, Cool Water cologne, Drakkar Noir cologne and Ralph Lauren perfume.
Sounds: I like heavy metal guitar solos, melodic hard rock lyrics, and thundering electric drum sounds, like what you would hear from most hard rock music from the mid-80s thru the early-90s.
Colors: My singular favorite color is forest green . As far as color combos go, I like the combos of navy blue & orange (for the Denver Broncos) , purple, black & silver (for the Colorado Rockies) , powder blue, cobalt blue, gold & navy blue (for the Denver Nuggets) and any color combo that you see in a snowcapped landscape.
Trees: There is NO QUESTION that evergreens are my favorite kind of trees, especially with the fact that I can never get enough of high mountain scenery.
Vacation destinations: The high mountain scenery of Colorado is BY FAR AND AWAY my favorite getaway destination from the same ol' ball & chain in Albuquerque. I just cannot stay away from Denver, and I also enjoy feasting my eyes on the high scenery in northern New Mexico, every time I travel up to see my family. I also like the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest.IF I HAD TO CHOOSE:
Food or water?: You just cannot do without either one.
Mountains, beach or desert? Just like humans and animals cannot do without food or water, I can NEVER survive without mountains!! I could NEVER live in plains or flat lands. I enjoy an occasional beach or desert, to get away from the norm, but I like being within eyeshot of a mountain range.
Liberal or Conservative? I prefer to keep my political opinions out of my profile.
Hot or cold? Cannot do without either one. If it's hot, I need to cool off, and if it's cold, I need to warm up.
Brains or beauty? Once again, cannot do without either one.
Cats or dogs? If I could own a pet, it would definitely be a dog, especially a Basset Hound.
Day or night? There is always something going on at any time of the day, but I like to enjoy the daytime scenery, and go out at night, whenever my current work schedule allows me to.THINGS I DESPISE:
I absolutely despise all tobacco use!! CIGARETTE SMOKING IS A COLOSSAL TURNOFF!! I am currently single, and I am determined to find that special someone, but I REFUSE TO EVEN GO OUT ON A DATE, LET ALONE ENGAGE IN ANY LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY WOMAN WHO SMOKES, DOES ANY DRUGS OR DRINKS HEAVILY!!!! It would NOT be worth it for any woman to even bother wasting her time or mine if she is a smoker!! Light drinkers or non-drinkers are fine with me, but not heavy drinkers. I, myself, am a very light drinker.
Other things I despise: Rap, hip-hop or cheesy bubble-gum pop music, full parking lots, getting stuck in traffic, long lines (especially at the DMV and at the grocery store), being woken up in the morning by noises I cannot control, long commercial breaks, those Geico commercials with those ugly "cavemen", cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise.IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME:
There are many times that we want to reminisce about a great time, or go back in time to erase something we regret doing. If it was scientifically possible to go back in time, here are my thoughts on the following periods and dates:
1997-1998: These were the two years that the Denver Broncos won back-to-back Super Bowls. The first one (Super Bowl XXIII) felt SO GOOD, when John Elway FINALLY got the ring that badly eluded him in previous Super Bowl losses, then he did en encore, by winning MVP the following Super Bowl (XXXIV), and going out on top.
The 1995 MLB season: This was the year that my two favorite teams in baseball, the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners, made the playoffs for the first time in their respective franchises histories. Back then, the Rockies were only in their third year of existence, and the Mariners made it for the first time in their first two decades of existence.
The 2001 MLB season: This was the year that the Seattle Mariners, my SECONDARY favorite team (behind only the Colorado Rockies), were KICKING ASS!! They won a Major League record-tying 116 games, only to be bounced by those damn Yankees. The Mariners record had steadily declined since that magical 2001 season, although they made rapid improvement in 2007.
September 16 - October 15, 2007: It was during this one-month stretch, that the Colorado Rockies, my favorite baseball team, won 21 out of 22 games, including a one-game Wild-Card playoff against the San Diego Padres, to advance to the World Series, even though they were subsequently swept by the Boston Red Sox.
The 70s, 80s and most of the 90s: You can see women and actresses showing off their pantyhose legs on pretty much ANY TV show, especially shows like "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Solid Gold", "Three's Company" and "Married...With Children", just to name a few. These days, you see a lot of bare legs and feet.
The 80s: This was a time that HEAVY METAL KICKED ASS!! This was also a time that MTV actually played videos.
The late-80s and early-90s: Prior to the grunge invasion, this was an era that drum sounds in all music, especially heavy metal, were loud, thick and thundering. I'm not a big fan of those wimpy acoustic drums. This was also a time that my favorite band, Queensrÿche, was all over the place, with their "Operation: Mindcrime" and "Empire" albums and tours.
The early-to-mid 90s: A time when Beavis and Butthead was playing on MTV just about every day. I like those early cheesy videos a lot, and I wish Mike Judge would include them on any future DVD releases.
December 8, 2004: It was on this night, that some STUPID ASSHOLE by the name of Nathan Gale pulled off one of the most despicable acts in rock & roll history. He barged into a Columbus, Ohio nightclub, and murdered Dimebag Darrell, on the same night that John Lennon was murdered 24 years earlier. If I could go back in time, there would have been MUCH BETTER SECURITY as that Columbus nightclub.
Early-September 2003: No one knew that actor John Ritter had any health problems, until September 11, the day he fell ill and died of an aortic dissection. John Ritter was a legend, especially on "Three's Company." I hope he could have taken a chest X-ray an MRI, or had some kind of heart surgery, and maybe he would still be alive today.OTHER MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS:
Bad Habits: I have a nasty habit of playing "air drums" on the steering wheel, especially when I'm at a stop light. If I was in a band, I would definitely be the drummer. I have a few other bad habits that I prefer not to discuss here.
Worst nightmares: Facing Judge Judy in any courtroom (SHE'S DISGUSTING!!), swerving to avoid a drunk driver, driving off a cliff, being struck by lightning, being crushed by a big semi truck on the road, decapitation, dismemberment, castration, being disgnosed with cancer not involving lung cancer (I am a strict NON-smoker).
