About Me

"Good People, Good Lovin', Good Music in my life, it makes me happy..."
- -Foreign Exchange
Often too random for words, I thrive on making others say, "huh??" I'm a beach bum at heart but somehow ended up in law school. I've actually been an LA County Ocean Lifeguard for the past 9 years, mostly during the summer months... (insert Hasselhoff/Baywatch jokes here) but it's been harder and harder to keep a full summer schedule with the "real world" rapidly approaching. So now i'm just patiently waiting for surf etiquette to officially become ratified into the Constitution so I can start my own personal injury firm specializing in Surf Tort.
Love to laugh and love even more to make others laugh. I value my friends and family more than anything in the world and I think music makes everything better. Call me a stoner, but I have an incredible nack for walking into a near-barren kitchen and cooking up a great meal. I also love traveling and thrive on meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.
There is literally nothing I won't try at least once. I don't dwell on unfortunate situations; I'm a firm believer that we create our own destiny. Granted, there's bound to be mishaps along the way, but if you know what you stand for, speak your mind, and stay true to yourself, karma will eventually work its way around.
Oh yea, I'm a fucking lawyer.

My Interests

Surfing, snowboarding, and eating anything placed within arms reach of my face. Oddly enough, I'm quite taken by entertainment contracts too.I also enjoy looking at myself in the mirror, in disgust mainly, all while reminiscing about the "good ol' days" when Mario Kart, late-night Carne Asada Fries, and shotgunning beers by the caseload were considered respectable profile entries for an "interests" category

The person who cures cancer

Jack Johnson--- I don't know if I'd go so far as to call him my "hero," but damn that guy's got a pretty sick life!

I was bit by a seal.

It's true. My rookie lifeguard year, while scrubbing a buoy line on north beach in Santa Monica, a seal bit my leg. At least I managed to punch that baldheaded motherfucker in the back for it.&n...

A query of procrastination

As many of my friends are probably aware by now, at the moment, I am not a very happy person. All I do, everyday, for 8-10 hrs a day is study for the fucking Bar. It sucks and I miss fun more than one...

My take on Uggs

Let me start by clarifying-- Yes, I have Uggs, and Yes, I think they are ugly as hell. The thing is, the pair I am wearing now is the same pair I purchased in 1998 from a surf shop located by my house...
