I suppose there's more than one way to skin a cat.

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My name is Mario. I grew up in a small northeastern Nevada town called Elko. I graduated from Elko High School in 2001. After graduating I attended UNR for four years and studied Art and History. Needless to say, I was not happy with the direction my college career was going and wanted a change in my life. I transferred to UNLV for the fall 2005 semester to study Film. Right now I am working towards becoming a Hollywood film director, producer, or whatever Im destined to do. Im just a normal guy who is enjoying life and likes having fun. Im a soul searching to live a good life. Always set your goals in life, no matter how long or how hard the road may be. You will reach the end someday. I just graduated Dec 21st, 2007. It was a long hard road for me, but it was well worth it... width="425" height="350" ..

My Interests


You have been marked on my profile map!

I'd like to meet:

Im a laid back easy going guy, Im open to meet anybody and everybody who comes across my way or meet up with people I lost touch with through the years. I just moved to the Las Vegas area August 05 and looking for local people to make new freinds with. Dont worry, Im not looking for any tour guides, I know my way around this town pretty well. So give me message if ya like to hang out.

Music:

Heavy Metal, Acid Rock, Death Metal. And any other music. Anything but Country. Country music makes me ill.

Movies:

Im a huge movie buff. Its really hard to say what my favorite movie is. I will name a few. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, City of Angels, Amelie, Shawshank Redemption, Brotherhood of War, Band of Brothers, Goodbye Lenin, and Kundun.

Television:

South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, and anything on Adult Swim.

Books:

My favorite book of all time is "Dante's Inferno". I believe it is the most realistic version of Hell ever written. The other book I really enjoy is The Mutter Museum. Its a collection of photographs from the worlds most renowned medical musuem in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is one place I am planning on visiting in my lifetime.

Heroes:

Mr. Chapman. An old man who lived alone up the street from me. I'd go and visit him every chance I had. Sadly, he past away Thanksgiving of 2005. I'll always and forever love him and miss him. I'll see him again someday, I know I will. He taught me to be a better person.
