Just Hanging Out, ...Being Awsome!!!

About Me

Where the hell do I begin? Let's see...I was raised by a very loving and very delusional single mom on welfare just south of San Francisco. With funding, I was able to attend private Catholic school (which explains a lot), but was asked to leave after completing the 5th grade. Apparently, I rose to much doubt in the classroom by continually debating the all-embracing complexity of GOD and that somehow, and in an intrinsically inscrutable way, accounts for all that there is. Call me crazy, I just had a lot of questions regarding the religion/science thing and found faith to be a comfort zone for those who can't grasp the concept of morals without reasoning or hope for a prize.
So, it was off to public school and classes that were of no challenge, depth, or intellect and eventually boredom set in… and so did cutting class to go skateboarding. Luckily I have this knack for not studying and passing test, so I somehow graduated.
After high school I moved to Sonoma to figure out what direction to go in life. I though it would be a good idea to embrace my college endeavors and went to Santa Barbara, but it didn't work out as planned (waaaaayyyyy too many distractions). So, after barely completing two quarters, I figured this would be a good time to live it up, move to Truckee and snowboard everyday (this worked out to well). A brief six month stint turned into three years. Had not I moved to Reno for a more fiscal job environment, I would probably still be there today.
This brings me to good old Reno. I rather not talk about it. I think I took about ten to fifteen years off of my life living in that city (thankfully it's the ones at the end). That whole twenty-four hours a day thing will get you. Although my Reno peeps are some of the realest people and I would do anything for them like they would for me. You know who you are and that I would never change.
After deciding to escape the biggest little city in the world, I moved to Long Beach for round two of college. The reason I picked the LBC (besides Snoop) is because I didn't know a single person there. I really wanted to focus on my schooling, but not knowing anybody when you are a social-whore lasted about one day. Years have pasted living in Long Beach, except I had a brief stint in Santa Monica, but long story short, I'm back home in Long Beach...for now.
Anyhow, enough about me and let us talk some more about me. I love my family and friends and will do anything for them. So, do not fuck with my people. On the brighter side, I get along with everyone. You just have to pay attention to their qualities and cherish their differences. I am a fan of words (and booze...just kidding...well, not really). I enjoy putting them together and taking them apart (not the words themselves, more like forming sentences, soliloquies, and cocktails). I am also a big fan of laughing at myself or you, whoever falls down first. (Although, I have a solid hold on first place on this one, just ask anyone who saw me wakeboard the beginning of ’06 summer.) Contrary to popular belief, I plan to BE something, this will not change. I guarantee you it will happen. I do not expect or want things to come to me without working hard for it. I would rather bust my ass than have it fall into my lap (although a large indefinite amount of money would be rather helpful...again, just kidding). I do care what you think. Care meaning: I will think it over. Care NOT meaning: I will change for you. I don't expect you to be a mastermind, just THINK before you SPEAK.

My Interests

All of these things are truly why I get out of bed in the morning, that is, besides sleeping, which I really need to get more of (thanks to all who feel the need to call me at 8am when I got home from work at 3am). Here it is, but not necessarily in this order: my friends and family, snowboarding, skiing, wakeskating, wakeboarding (or at least attempting to, but taking the boat to Schooner or Later, Tantalum, McKenna's, or Yard House instead), spooning or forking (whatever floats your boat), skateboarding (but my body can't hang with that so much anymore), sunrises (going to bed) and sunsets (waking up), camping, not working out, dinning out, dinning in, concerts in small venues, sailing, Laker games, Clipper games courtside (Thank you Pete for the numerous tickets), Charger games skybox (Thanks Cheryl), anything to do with the beach, flying to Vegas (that always makes my day), riding my beach cruiser, going to my kick-ass job at Gaslamp or Riley's which funds all of my fun (thank you Jen, Alicia, Ian and Mike. I couldn't do it without you), having drinks while doing any one of the activities mentioned above, and getting back into my comfy ass bed and passing out.

I'd like to meet:

Rob and Big is where it's at! "Do work son!"...then anything on: FUEL, History Channel, Discovery Channel, and Comedy Central.
Faves are: Rob and Big (duh), Chappell Show, Pull, Nitro Circus, Standard Snowboard Show (Go Truckee), Weeds, Sopranos, Califorication, Family Guy, Nip Tuck, Entourage, Lost, 24, Adult Swim, Iron Chef, but usually I'm at work when all of these are on, so TiVo it is.

Books:

Umm, It's hard to read drunk. So, I'm not a big fan. No wait, if I wear my eye patch (usually used to drive home drunk...j/k) I can read perfectly. But that means I would actually have to sit in one spot for more than a couple minutes...A.D.D. is a bitch. Then again, there's audio books. It's not that I don't enjoy learning, reading is just not my forte.

Heroes:

Anybody that can save their money since I can't seem to figure that out.
