About Me

I am that guy in the corner who can't stop smiling and makes you wonder, "What the hell is so funny anyway?". I love the fact that I am still alive - despite of odds favoring otherwise - and that everyday I get another chance to try and get it right. I obsess over the quality of my work and have been known to loose sleep over a good video-game.

Fox News makes my blood boil!!Snowboarding is the best sport in the world!!I protect my friends and family with biblical fierceness. I believe that if you can't put your heart into it then don't bother doing it at all. Oh, I also dance for no particular reason - with or without a partner - and go insane for Lala's flan, with wipped cream and dulce de leche!
