About Me

Alright, so I've decided to do a second tour of duty on MySpace. Been goin' through plenty of changes and steadily getting used to livin' single again, but I'm still living the life I love and loving the life I live right here in my adopted hometown of Albuquerque, N.M.
I'm in my seventh year working and rooting for the blue-collar UNM Athletic Department (damn, has it been that long?) and when I'm not working I'm usually somewhere trying to soak in the beautifully diverse soul of this unique city.
My immediate plans are to eat well, drink even better, see some new places, meet a lot of positive people and basically enjoy all the simple pleasures that make life so damn good.
Time to get started...

My Interests

Breakin' down sports of all kinds, that's what they pay me for...feeding my soul with good music, especially checking out good local/regional bands right here in Burque...when all else fails there's nothing wrong with chillin' and drinkin'.

I'd like to meet:

Bill Clinton, George Clinton, Warren Moon, Michael Franti, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Kevin Smith, Shakira, The Dommer from Real World: Los Angeles...pretty much anybody who could spin some good yarns over a beer.

Music:

A Tribe Called Quest, The Clash, Ozomatli, Shakira, Thievery Corporation, Outkast, Grateful Dead, Los Lobos, Spearhead, Jamiroquai, Miles Davis, Calexico, Mos Def, J5, Sufjan Stevens, Buena Vista Social Club, Pink Floyd, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, 2Pac, Santana, Billie Holiday, Notorious B.I.G., Cee Lo, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Wu-Tang Clan, Michael Jackson, Too $hort, Parliament, Funkadelic, Sergent Garcia, Mano Negra/Manu Chao...is that enough??

Television:

Pretty much only for a laugh or to get some scores...South Park, Seinfeld reruns, The Simpsons (first 10 years or so), Arrested Development, ESPN College FB Gameday (even though they show no love to the MWC), The Monastery (a rare reality show that made you think), and of course, late-night infomercials.
