About Me


Dear John,
Hola! Me llamo Juan Contreras, i go by John here in the states. I was born in La Piedad, Michoacan, Mexico from spanish roots. I moved to southern california when i was about 8 or 9 years of age and have been living here since. I speak english and spanish fluently, i also speak some german and wish to learn more german, i also speak a litttttle finnish, and i understand a good amount of italian, portuguese and latin but don't speak it :P. I consider myself a simple guy with big dreams and complex ideas. I'm also very passionate, humble, loyal, loving, serious, reserved, honest, logical, helpful, friendly, artistic, peaceful, respectful, strange :P, independent, and very silly with people i'm comfortable with. My political views are mostly liberal with a few conservative ideals. I am the worlds worst catholic :P, i have spirituality but i'm not very religious. I love school, i love learning, it's never a waste of time to learn something new. My major is business/music and minor is philosophy/astronomy altough i've been considering changing my major to astronomy. I love math, i love art, i love foreign languages, i love music, i love history, social science, i love most any subject but i really don't like essay writing :P. I love traveling even though i don't travel much :P(i will more in the future i promise). I'm very interested in european life, politics, music, etc. I plan to study some time in spain in the future and i wouldn't mind moving over to europe somewhere. I have a lot of hobbies, sports(my favorite being football soccer), electric(started playing 2/2/04)/classical/flamenco guitar, keyboard(started 5/1/06), sculpture, going to shows, stop motion animation, etc. I also love kids, animals, nature and intelligent conversations :P. My flaws are probably that i over analyse a lot which over analysing does good and bad things for me :p, i'm not very patient sometimes, i can be stubborn sometimes, and i can be cold hearted sometimes as well, "if you don't need me then i don't need you" kind of attitude. Well, i'm single right now and lookin i want to love and i want to be loved :). If you wana get to know me better message me for christ sake! i enjoy meeting new people especially people from different ethnic backgrounds :)
