What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.comI'm a DJ from Redwood City, CA. I love hanging out with other House heads. I have been featured on KZSU 90.1FM Stanford numerous times. I've also spun alongside some of San Francisco's finest like Forest Green, Juan Segovia, Koroma and of course the one and only JC. I am into good foods and wines. I like fashion, my favorite designer is Giorgio Armani. I love working on cars, I have a fascination with the 85' Toyota Corolla GT-S. I've owned one for five years and there has never been a dull moment while driving it (I love my Camaro too). I also love film and cinematography. My inspiration for photography is Andre' Kerstez. I'm a good listener (for all the ladies lol).

My Interests

I'm into all kinds of music, fashion, I love spinning house and progressive. I AM REALLY INTO HOUSE AND DRUM n' BASS!!!!!!! I must listen to it everyday to function in this world. My second love is film. I am an aspiring writer/director for cheap little movies that I make (or at least try to make!) I love the sport of Drifting, though not professionally. I just do it in the streets when nobody is around haha. My dream is to someday make films and have a lot of gigs in San Francisco spinning my favorite kind of music. For now, I gotta get a "real" job, so I am going to school to study criminology.

I'd like to meet:

I would really, really like to meet my all time favorite cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, one of my favorite directors Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, and my favorite documentary filmmaker Steven Okazaki (Update:I actually already met him) I would also like to meet my hero Howard Stern! And anybody who loves Cinematography!Contact:jjislas2003 at yahoo.com For all my Redwood City House lovers join: http://groups.myspace.com/rwchouseheads- - - http://groups.myspace.com/4age for all you Corolla GT-S lovers! I would really like to meet Howard Stern and the whole crew at KROCK.

Not everybody can say they have both their dream cars. My Camaro and my Corolla GT-S (someday my GT-S will look like the one on top, someday...) And someday I will have this car for sure...

Music:

I listen to everything from Howard Stern in the morning to Mac Dre. My favorite is, of course, House, Progressive and Drum N' Bass music. I listen to a lot of college radio like 90.1 Stanford, 89.7 Foothill, 90.5 Bassline FM in San Jose and 91.1 KCSM in San Mateo. I hate commercials! I try not to listen to the main-stream crap too often.(some of it is cool, don't get me wrong) To be honest, I really hate the whole 94.9 bullshit! 106 KMEL I can listen to, other than that, it's Live105 for me. Another thing, I've been seeing a lot of love for the late Mac Dre, but I haven't seen much love for another talented rapper that passed away, Old Dirty Bastard from the Wu-Tang Clan.

To

Damn! He's diggin' it!

One of my favorite albums of all time. You gotta love that cover!

Movies:

Right now check out my buddy M dot Strange's new movie that's going on sale in August. GO TO WWW.WEARETHSTRANGE.COM FOR MORE INFO.

The Godfather, Psycho, Scarface, Big Fish, Kill Bill, Mystic River, Men on Fire, 21 Grams, House of Sand and Fog, Amores Perros,Brokeback Mountain, Shadow of a Doubt,De La Calle, Psycho, Rear Window, Ben Hur, Topper, anything with Cheech and Chong and my all-time favorite comedy: Tres Lancheros Muy Picudos.

Television:

I don't watch tv that much except for Howard Stern once in a while.

Books:

I love Agathy Christie's mysteries, Charles Dickens, Howard Stern and of course the king of romance, Shakespeare. I am currently reading a copy of the 1942 book called The evolution of physics by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld. I love Steven D. Katz' writing on Film and Cinematography.

Heroes:

All the ordinary-everyday people that volunteer for anything that is for the positive, like the red-cross or homeless shelters, even the elderly guy that helps me cross the street every morning with his giant "STOP" sign (which he waves proudly with a gesture of inner satisfaction.)
