About Me

Let's see... I'm a grown-up with a career I love and probably take too seriously but I have a nice core group of friends that keep me in line every once in a while so I stay the "normal" dude that I am. Despite my disciplined schedule for work, I default to living an unconventional life. Fortunately I'm able to do both. I'm fortunate to have an interesting mix in my life where I meet and see things that always challenge me. And typically I owe that to travel. I grew up as a kid in Texas hating being "different" thinking that I should try my best to conform (which was lying). Somewhere around 30 was the tipping point of my own truth. Just being me.
I'm definitely adventurous, outgoing, optimistic, ambitious, assertive and nice. I'm OBSESSED with all things technology to the point that friends say I may one day need help. I always get the latest thing... currently testing the limits of my iPhone and toying with the idea of hacking it or installing freeware to pimp it out. These are the issues of the day. I know. If only I had more hours in the day.
I travel every chance I get which isn't enough I say but others probably disagree. My goal is to have spent real time in all seven continents before I leave my 30's. Africa and Antartica here I come... No better experience in live than travel, the more off the tourist route, the more obscure than your regular life... the better. What else? More later.

My Interests

Hiking, biking, diving. Any activity that can end in "ing" apparently is me. When I discovered hiking it opened a whole new world for me that made LA that much better. Cycling is a passion and I think its gonna stick w/ me forever. Well, ok. I just left the beach for Sunset Plaza. A little less bike time, more running. ..Snowboarding, skiing (when I want to "show off" because I'm too afraid to board ha ha), rollerblading, blah blah. I recently got back into diving when I got my advanced PADI cert in Thailand. I seem to be listing every elitist, adventurers sport. I'm doing that on purpose of course. Also video games, geeking out over the latest gadgets, movies, live theater, great restaurants, new pubs with friends. Doing absolutely nothing with someone that I don't have to say an absolute word to for prolonged moments, those are nice. Oh yes, recently getting back into console gaming (its part homework) w/ PS3, 360 and the Wii... I've got'em all. Trying to hang w/ my peeps on GEARS OF WAR... not doing so well.

I'd like to meet:

All kinds of freaks and geeks but no drama.If I know you or think we have things in common, I'll add you to my friends. If don't know who the @#%$ you are and you look like some kind of spam, I won't.

Music:

Komeda (if you know and like this band, I'm automatically your friend). Killers, Belle and Sebastian, The Shins, The Hives, Beautiful South, Jack Jonhson, Scissor Sisters, Ben Harper, most stuff on KCRW, classic country like Johnny Cash, techno and trance, Digweed, The Clash, Jamiroqui, Bjork, David Bowie, more later..

Movies:

Any Hitchcock movie, BATMAN BEGINS (the best superhero film ever made), SUPERMAN RETURNS (its coming, you'll love it!), V FOR VENDETTA, BORAT, THE DEPARTED, WAITING FOR GUFFMAN (best comedy), SHOWGIRLS (second best comedy), POSEIDON ADVENTURE, X-MEN 2, TOWERING INFERNO, FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, VERTIGO. I love documentaries like ENRON, CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS, UNKNOWN WHITE MALE, FARENHEIT 9/11 and want to see more of them coming out. I think its something that can be informative and interesting and done with a group. ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER was so much better to tme than MUNICH. More interesting, more informative, both on the same topic. I have lots of other movies to list. Oh shit. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Hands down my favorite film of all time. I can do a dead on Ted Levine voice (aka Buffalo Bill) and scare my friends. I know almost all the lines to that movie as well as SCARFACE, CADDYSHACK, BLAZING SADDLES and GOLDEN GIRLS. See I told you I'm uncoventional. Golden Girls is a creature comfort.

Television:

STRANGERS WITH CANDY (I want the DVDS... brilliant). LOST, THE COLBERT REPORT, DAILY SHOW, most any American Experience series on PBS plus the news (I Tivo because i'm not home for it). REAL TIME W/ BILL MAHER. SOPRANOS (I miss it). News junky. And recently I gave in to the AMERICAN IDOL craze. Now I get it.

Books:

THE WORLD IS FLAT, FATHERLAND, INTO THE WILD, INTO THIN AIR. I rarely read books these days, I'll get back to it. Does reading the New Yorker count?
