Gabriel

First weekend in Vacnouver. Nice

About Me

Half Colombian half American Italian. Raised in both North and South America. Interesting combination that begs for a career in organized crime. I could've been the missing link between two of the great powers in organized crime, but chose technology/engineering. Oh well, maybe next time around.

Hey!! I am climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in June!! Check out my page below for details!

My Interests

Music (all types minus cheesy country), cycling (mountain and road), swimming, ultimate frisbee, racquetball, food, drink, Night, Cards, Gator Football, Dolphin Football, F1, WRC, Moto GP, Flying anywhere, friends, festivals, parties, beer festivals, tequila bars, etc., etc. Basically anything involving food, imbibing alcohol, sweating out the alcohol and burning the calories from the food I ate. Yin and Yang of sorts.

I'd like to meet:

Humans mostly. Ones who only judge based on personal experience and not based on someone else's prejusdices.People to travel with!!

Music:

Everything except country with the exception of older true country. My iPod has over 5k songs and range from Brazilian samba to Zeb.

Television:

Rome, Entourage, most motorsports that are not NASTYCAR related, Seinfeld (never get tired of them) Although Montoya just broke 2 records in his first win in NASTYCAR. All the rednecks were incensed. I loved it.

Heroes:

Lance Armstrong of course and Front 242 for making the song that epitomizes why he is a hero "Never Stop"

There is nothing like long time friends

Labor Day!!   Nothing like spending time with a friend that you have had for over a decade!!  Funny how spending time with someone you haven't seen in years makes up for all that time!! ...
