My Curse

About Me

I came to myspace to make friends, but it soon turned out to be a place to have fake friends. I prefer to keep the friends and people that I actually know on my "friends list." Makes sense, right? I like to browse random peoples pages and see what they're about. I love hangin out with friends and kickin' back as they sip on some brews and I watch them make asses of themselves. It's always great to see the inner child release, even if it's with alcohol. I think beer gives people that extra nudge over the edge to just be themselves. Since this is about me, I guess I could say I act myself. I don't lie and a lot of people would agree with me on that. I tell it like it is and accept the consequences if any. I couldn't stand to walk around in life pretending to be someone else just to fit in. I'm constantly joking around but sometimes it hits too close to home for some people, that's one of the drawbacks of trying to bring out a smile. I'm not one that knows how to deal with drama. I don't know how to tell people I don't know very well my emotions, it's one of those things that comes with being a great friend. I hate the fact that people get pissed easily. I like to consider myself a pretty laid back person; I don't get aggrivated too often and when I do it's almost always over something that matters greatly to me. I also consider myself to be a daydreamer. Not an unrealistic one; like customizing .. Ferarris or Lamborghinis and such. I like to start on a project and slowly work my way up to it, then daydream. You might also say I'm a "motorhead" and love cars. I'm definitely not one to get down on someone unless they give me a reason even they I may give them shit. I try to see people for who they are and am a pretty decent judge of character when it comes to this. It's kind of contridicting because I'm not too fond of people that judge others based on what they look like. Honestly I don't think any of that matters, all of my best friends have been from a different race. I love the feeling of outside cultures, especially learning about them. Hell, learning in general is pretty cool. I'm currently on the road to my associates degree at PPCC as a full-time student, while at the same time working at Hewlett Packard as a Technical Support Representative. I pretty much fix your computer. Anyways... there sure is a bunch of I's in this thing!

My Interests

I'm into vehicular devices. I love working on my Jeep, but mostly helpingout friends in need. I like to research things like engine swaps (ahem, Mike) and boggingproblems (uhh, Kevin?) because there's no better feeling than helping someone that needs it.This applies to much more than just cars. I'm always trying to see the different side of things.It's a certain thing like magic that comes to mind. Maybe it's because I don't believe insupernaturals, or maybe because I oppose giving into the masses. Doing what everyone else doestends to make me really dislike it.

Another thing that I am highly interested is computers. I guess it kinda fits given that I'mgoing to school for that kinda stuff, eh? I'm into photography also. Photography brings out the raw in everything, the camera can capturethings you never thought. Looking through the lens gives you an artistic touch that you normallywouldn't be able to see. It forces you to see these things and for that I love it. Art is sortof an interest, but I think it incorporates into everything we do. Art is what people see asunique. You would never take notice to something like a blank piece of paper. To an artist it'snot so blank. You can get exhausted just trying to think of where this single sheet of papercame from. Never take anything for granted, think of their ultimate unlimited uses and love it.Some of my photos can be viewed below.

I'd like to meet:

Who would I like to meet? Well relationship wise, I'm fairly picky. That's not to say that I'm shallow, which I am far from. I am looking for someone that can be comfortable around me, even when I act crazy. I am spontaneous and she has to be fine with that. I am tired of people judging me because of how I act. I have an entirely different soul under my shell and I will only open it to those that I trust. With that in mind, she can't be judgemental. I am a sucker for innocence. A few things that I have to find in someone would be romantics, fun, and outgoing while reserved at times. She has to know how to let loose but be a lady when times call for it. I don't care what kind of music she likes, because I like nearly all types of music and am willing to try different genres because music is my passion. Mind games can stay at the door. I like my heart how it is now and don't want to give it to someone that thinks they can toy with it as they please. I love to treat them how they should be treated... like a princess.

Music:

Music is my life! I listen to just about anything besides country, polka, and boy band pop. Without music I'd be hard pressed to find something that releases me the same. Just a few genre's to name, that I feel totally express who I am... Metal, Techno/Trance/House, and Underground Hip Hop. Mainly Metal tells you what kind of person I am, and how I act just because since I was about 10 years old and discovered Pantera, I've always been interested in fast drum beats, quick guitar riffs, and screaming vocals. I've been highly influenced by Metallica, Deftones, Chimaira, Soulfly, As I Lay Dying, Van Halen, Spineshank, Incubus, and Slipknot. I play guitar so maybe that's why I say influenced. I love going to concerts and jumping in moshpits, although I'll be the first to admit that being pulled into a moshpit is a little annoying when all you wanna do is enjoy the music. I'm always up for watching and supporting local bands. I've been to too many concerts to even compare to the amount of keys on a keyboard with the extra number pad. Local bands, yes It's unbelievably hard to get your name out there, let alone get a gig even if it's down at a biker bar. Some of you probably know what I'm talking about. I dislike the people who think that picking up a guitar, bass, drum sticks, or a mic and making music merge together, is simple shit. Go to Prosound, pick up an instrument, and see what you can come up with other than pure poo-poo! Support your local bands!

Movies:

I don't watch movies too often because I'm a pretty active person. I always feel like I need to be moving... so sitting on a couch for 3 hours on end just doesn't excite me as much as it should. If I had to say what kind of movies I liked, it would definitely involve war. War brings out the beast in people, they do stupid things, and heroic things... a little ironic, huh? I love the feeling of being in a military base, and movies like Saving Private Ryan give me that feeling. Some of my favorite movies of all time definitely have to be Saving Private Ryan, Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, Hero, Braveheart, and more recently The Count of Monte Cristo. Yup, pretty much all war related.

Heroes:

My mom, brother, and my best friends Shara and Mike. No one understands me like you guys do. You're always there when I need you regardless of what's going on in your life. You would drop everything you're doing just to hear me out, and although I don't think it should be that way, you care for my feelings far beyond anyone else. Thank you for everything. I love you guys for everything you're about. I don't know too many people that would come down from Denver every weekend just to chill with me. I don't know too many people that would sit through hours and hours of conversation, night after night just listening to me complain about a girl. I sure as hell don't know anyone that would want me to live in their house after I've punched holes in walls, thrown shit, kicked shit, and even cussed you out. Some might say that's what a parent should do, that's a crock of shit. I actually appreciate everything you do for me, in more ways than I can show. Last but certaintly not least, the kid that reminds me of myself when I was younger. The misunderstood, kept to himself, type of guy. I know I give you a lot of shit, and always for the small stuff that never matters. I don't know how you do it, but you always think clearly no matter the situation. Stating the what would seem to be obvious and completely changing the mood of any situation there may be. You're unique in everyway, well except for the fact that your last name is the same as mine.
