About Me

I used to live a life of being angry at the world and everything in it; Now I live a life of being thankful, mild-mannered, humbled and wouldn't change a damn thing I've been through because it is who I am today.
Born in East L.A. Grew up in Cerritos, Cali. Been to Hawaii, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Mexico, NYC, New Jersey, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Maryland, Atlantic City, Delaware, and D.C. Nicknamed after a famous household cleaner during college. I believe in forgive, but never forget. My mother is my role-model. Pet peeves include: freeway traffic, computer/internet lag, and liars! Have a deep appreciation for people with any type of talent, especially musical talent. I enjoy fresh cigars. I like the reason behind every piercing. I love the story behind every tattoo. I can't wait to be back in school again to earn my M.B.A.!

What's currently playing in my car?

In a nutshell, I own all 500 albums that were featured in Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time book. (Yes, I have all 500 complete albums..

Thee absolute most perfect song ever:

Heroes:

My heroes (& heroines) include any and all individuals who still managed to be successful even when they were told "No", or "You will never amount to anything because x, y, and/or z." I have the utmost respect for these people who were outcasted, misjudged, or misrepresented and yet worked hard and spat at the face of adversity. I will always be inspired by their Fuck You attitude towards haters, and the never-ending strive for achievement to prove a hater wrong.

May I have your autograph please? (Updated July 25, 2007)

I've been collecting autographs for several years now.  I finally got the "sexiest woman not alive", Audrey Hepburn, back in my collection.  I had her autograph before but foolishly sold it ...
