About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Marble


MySpace CountdownsHmmmm lesse, without sounding too blah or redundant here goes......I'm 29, 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Nicaraguan. Born in Managua but lived in Miami since I was 4. Try to visit my fam in Italy as much as I can. Love to do "outside the box" or sorta abstract stuff as that's what my mode/pattern of thinking usually is. Love to travel, keeps you from becoming too "centric" of the place you live in I think, not afraid or put off to do or experience other things ppl would be put off by cuz variety is most def the spice of life, broadens your horizons, makes you more well-rounded. Lovveeeee to cook, treat it as a hobby/passion. I'm a total 100% Epicure/F00die. Learned from my dad and since he's Italian, my primary source of inspiration for anything culinary is of course (ecco) Italian. C00king runs deep on my dad's side of the family. My uncle was a chef and restaurant owner in Italy. He owned a restaurant on Venice proper and later another one close to this town called Portogruaro. My dad was the primary c00k when my parents were married also. You can see the love/tradition was passed down to yours truly as well! I dont believe cuisine is totally rigid though so I add this n that from other parts of the globe (all about the fusion!!!!!) I particularly have an affinity for anything spicy, I LOVVVEEE any kind of hot/spicy f00d or cuisine. The spicier, the better! I learned to appreciate nuclear hot spicy grub from my friend Miranda who is 1/2 Indonesian 1/2 Malaysian. In both Malay and Indonesian cuisines, it's de rigueur to serve practically everything LOADED with chili peppers. I owe my love of all things mega spicy to Miranda and I never go a day without thanking her for this contribution ;P I also have a penchant for Middle Eastern cuisines of all types, LOVE em. I especially like North African (Moroccan, Tunisian, Egyptian) and Levantine (Israeli, Lebanese, Syrian) f00d stuffs of all kind, and can't leave out it's next d00r cousin Turkish cuisine. Ayran (Turkish yogurt drink) is the best kept secret known to man, SOOO g00d ;o) Also can't go without giving a shout out to Middle Eastern cuisine's far away cousin Indian!!!! What would life be without a nice spicy HOT curry!?!?! Lamb Vindal00 from the Indian state of Goa!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!! :oPPPP~~~~~~ A tidy segue to all this mention of all things Eastern and Oriental is mentioning that I have a big like and admiration of Middle Eastern culture. Picture yourself chillin in a nice m00dy, ambient Kasbah, @ night, on a carpet on the fl00r with a h00kah filled w/ a fruit flavored smokin tobacco & berber style candles lighting up the place. I SO see it ;o) Maybe I was a bedouin in a past life or something ;P Have a brooding kinda dark side to my nature but on the other hand definitely have a big kid side to me which keeps me in check (the ying n the yang). Think my close clique sorta embodies the "lil kid" side of me so never a dull moment. Sort of drawin a blank so anything else that peaks your curiosity try n pry out of me!!!!!!!! Open dialogue's always welcome!!!! Screen name on AOL/AIM is SveltoY2K or feel free to hit me up on Yah00 messenger. Find me via my email there which is [email protected]
