My Interests

painting, sculpting, drawing, listening to music, playing music (on any instrument i can get my hands on), world politics (i actually tried political science with a focus on latin america as my first major), mexican soccer (futbol), cycling, food and drink (doesn't have to be fancy. pizza and beer will do) people watching, books....all the sh*t i don't have time for.
