What it is

About Me

I am proud of my upbringing and where I am from. My goal in life is happiness, and there are a lot of things that ultimately figure into that. Money is important but it is only part of life, not life itself. Materialism is a vice, and an ugly personality trait. Do you own your shit or does your shit own you? Do you make your money or does your money make you? I'm a laid back guy, and I like to have fun no matter what I am doing. I am supremely confident, but I have nothing to prove to anybody. I believe in not saying anything if you have nothing to say. I believe you are what you do ... actions talk, talk is nothing. I am a private person, but I like to be around people. I am a great person to be around and a good friend to have if you take the time to get to know me. Otherwise I am easy to initially not take note of. My light shines from the inside, and it takes a little time and patience being around me to see that. I am definitely the type of person who marches to the beat of my own drum, and I do not think or act like everybody else around me.

My Interests

I like the good things life has to offer. I like good food, good music, good company. I love my family, and they are extremely important to me. I like to learn and experience new things. I am into martial arts, gaming, and I like to read.

I'd like to meet:

People who like to have fun. Simple as that. I have many interests, and I have done a lot of different things, and traveled to a lot of different places and I always like to hear different perspectives. I am from Stockton, lived in Hawaii for about four and a half years, and now I am in Fresno, CA. I have met some interesting people here, and I always love meeting new people.

Music:

Salsa, Reggaeton, Old School R&B, Rock, Or anything that makes you bounce in your seat while you listen to it.

Movies:

Anything that leaves itself in my mind after I am done watching it for whatever reason.

Television:

The Boondocks! Mythbusters, History Channel, Military Channel, Sports (SF 49ers and Giants!)

Books:

Anything that gives me something to think about. I've had my fantasy fiction phase, I've had my political/government phase, I've had my spiritual phase ... I like a good story with good characters.

Heroes:

A hero to me is somebody who embodies and demonstrates courage. Courage to me is doing the right thing despite being compelled otherwise. Doing the right thing when it's easy does not constitute courage.

Tamales, Weak Beer, and the 49ers
