la vida es demasiada corta enojarse.

About Me

i just graduated suny albany & now i am taking my MAT at stony brook & working at boces. i hate getting pruny fingers when i'm in the shower too long. i have read the newsday comics every day since i was 13, and i have a nice collection of all the best ones. i also collect kids books & comic books, and write in my limited free time.

My Interests

nothing beats an interesting conversation. but when i'm not doing that, i also enjoy writing, cooking, spanish, movies, reading, frisbee, card/board games and basketball. i used to play ping pong a lot, and i'm trying to get into it again. unfortunately, i don't really have any people to play with, so if you're interested please don't hesitate to let me know.

I'd like to meet:

people, preferably. but i'm open to meeting all types of animal life. hey, if you can use a keyboard without digits or opposable thumbs, i'd like to shake your paw/talon/fin/hoof.

Music:

ringo is the one with the drums the others all play with him. it just goes to show what a boy can become without a sense of rhythm. what is all the shouting about, fainting & swooning? sounds to me like their guitars could use a little tuning.i like a lot of stuff, but i guess my favorites would have to be the beatles, beck, cat stevens, & cake. blood sex sugar majick is the greatest album ever created.==(period)

Movies:

little miss sunshine, american history x, the life aquatic, anything amenabar or almodovar, anything kubrick besides eyes wide shut and 2001. best humorous goes to office space, and kids movie is a tie between fox & the hound and the incredibles (which lived up to it's name)

Television:

very limited. nfl playoffs & jets games, home movies, arrested development, and now the office. i hate reality tv and everything it stands for.

Books:

the shadow of the wind, the alchemist, sidharrtha, any kundera or orwell, the perks of being a wallflower, kafka harry potter series, me talk pretty one day, shel silverstein and r.a. salvatore (dark elf/icewind dale trilogies)

Heroes:

grandma, nightcrawler, green lantern. in that order.
