About Me

I like carpe dieming.

San Francisco is a much better place to live than Santa Clarita. But I like Southern California more right now. Less "hella" use, more Dodgers. On second thought...

I like "picturesque pictures".

My Interests

these are a few of my favorite things: music, watching the squirrels at school, cartoons, playing old video games, visiting distant family, working on my truck, playing guitar, getting just the right shot with a camera, snowboarding down scottys run, wahoo's banzai burritos, watching fireworks, taking advantage of the long days during summer, creating a work that i'm completely satisfied with, off-roading, graphic design, del taco, thought-provking songs, thought-provoking conversations, typography, the anticipation of waiting for a favorite band to play at a show, noches de las margaritas, san francisco.
no me gusta: wasting time, flakes, shows selling out too soon, self-important folks who preach, people using their wipers at full-speed when it's barely drizzling, materialism, my lack of discipline, fake personalities, unexpected weather, deceptive guises, job searching, food that's served too hot, religious zealots, realizing the right thing to say after the situation, nationalism, tense relations with an old friend.
