Azymuth Live In Los Angeles... from Andrew Lojero on Vimeo

My Interests

Chocolate Abuelita, random occurances, people who have accents, a beautiful smile, jet black hair, life @ night, meeting people from my past. Living in the future while I think about my present... Abnormal stories of coincidence... Learning things I never knew and imagining things I have never thought of... Living in other peoples shoes and walking in the rain. Being short...

I'd like to meet:

We love...
