About Me

I'm David... I am a senior at Vista High School (Class of 08!).

10 Random Facts:

1. I enjoy anything from a party to a smart conversation.
2. I can almost never so no to a cute girl, or a smoothie.
3. I don't watch much TV, but I do like to read.
4. I prefer people over money... I feel sorry for people who continually chase wealth their whole life.
5. I am very political and have very strong opinions... but I'd rather meet someone who doesn't agree with me and knows what they are talking about than someone who agrees with me but doesn't know what they are talking about.
6. I'm always up for trying something new.
7. I'm always the "nice guy"... it doesn't usually pay off in the end but whatever.
8. I try to live life to the fullest because nothing is guaranteed in life but death... of course I have my slow days too though.
9. Being half white and Mexican, raised not to discriminate, and being exposed to various cultures have made me not really have a concept of race; racism or anything else related to race makes no sense to me.
10. I love San Diego more than any other place I have lived (including in Virginia, Florida, and other places in California like San Marcos and LA), though I would love to travel to Spain, Japan, France, South Korea, and [in the US] New York and Hawaii.

I'd like to meet:

People who will motivate me to do better or share interests with me.

Specifically I guess I would like to meet any poets, cute girls (with a brain and personality), b-boys/girls, music fans, or deep thinkers.

I'd also want to meet Dick Cheney and Bill O-Reily so I can either give them a stern lecture on how stupid they are or just smack em... whichever I'm in the mood for.
