About Me

I'm a Senior Electrical Engineering student at UTD. Why? Because I can, that's why! I always seem to be busy, but I still find time to hang out with the cool people. I seem to spend alot of time at home, but I'm almost done school, so the books gotta come first (yeah, it sucks.) Also, I am now off the alternate list and have gotten another pilot slot. So now I'm going to be a pilot in the world's greatest Air Force. If you wanna know more, just ask.
List of the coolest things I've ever done in my life:
-Skydive
-Drive a Motorcycle
-Fly a plane
-Drive a boat
-Scuba dive
-Finish a Marathon
-Live in a foreign country
-Spin in a club (it was only 200 ppl, but hey)
I currently work programming, which is nice, but it has its boring moments. I should only be stuck here another year, and then I can move on to more fun things, i.e. putting foot to ass for my country. (doesn't pay as well, but hey, that's life.)

My Interests

Model Rockets, sleeping, motorcycles, Flying (licensed pilot...hooah!)

I'd like to meet:

Fun people. Why? Boring people suck. It's true. Trust me on this one. I'm never wrong. Well, I tell myself that, but I still get proven wrong....

Music:

Hard house, techno, rockGotta love Richard Humpty Vission, he's teh shit. DJ Andy Sconztag (sp?) p0wns. DJ Irene is a corporate whore, but can throw down the beats.Can't forget Green Day, they're the shit, along with Offspring. 'nuff said.

Movies:

First and foremost: Top Gun. I've got most of it quoted, and not the major lines.Any action movies. I got all the home stereo equipment 'cause I love them so much. Oh, and anime, in japanese, with subtitles....Must-see list: Monty Python Mall Rats Animal House Young Frankenstein Rocky Horror Picture ShowAnd some more I probably forgot...

Television:

I only get 2 channels in English, so I don't watch much. I do watch PBS when they have German shows on though... :D

Books:

Gotta love Tom Clancy. Patriot Games kicks ass.W.E.B. Griffin's great. And, sadly enough, I like to read some of the Shakespeare stuff. Gotta love reading the old school stuff and finding out some of the ideas they thought back then and what they think now.

Heroes:

Gotta say my dad and my grandpa. Both have never given up on me, no matter how stupd I've gotten. Oh, and Tom Cruise, only 'cause of Top Gun. Any fighter pilot wannabe has to quote that movie :D
