Check out my tribute to the four cheese cake-lovin' women:
Easy Myspace help

I am a bestselling author of several books and a Pop Culture fanatic!!! Nacio una especie de ser que intenta crecer y al mismo tiempo explorar, que dÃa a dÃa intenta creer en nuevas cosas para poder mantenerse en un mundo donde lo material absorbe el amor que existe en nuestro entorno, donde lo peor siempre hace su presencia y lo mejor solo de vez en cuando para no dejar perdernos. Alguien que podrÃa definirse como sencillo, amoroso, sincero, trabajador, altruista, en fin... solo soy "un soÃ±ador por vocaciÃ³n" y todo lo que implica ese texto tan corto, pero lleno de contenido. Me gusta lo sencillo, no creo en la vanidad, creo en que un mundo lleno de amor puede ser y en que compartir es una forma de vivir, amo la naturaleza, creo en Dios y me gusta vivir para construir un futuro mucho mejor que el de este tiempo en algunos lugares.

My Interests

The world is a source of endless fascination (and irritation) for me. I am a HUGE fan of Pop Culture and Music and am great with trivia (I know, what a loser!) I enjoy writing (I have five books published with another on the way) as well as commenting on the state of pop culture in my blog here at My Space. I am a loyal friend and good listener and very accepting of all individuals. Travelling is my great passion in life and I have been fortunate to travel extensively around the world.Dislikes: Prejudice of any kind; the victimization of women and children, societal apathy and war mongering.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Perez Hilton, the Queen of All Celebrity Bloggers. It's amazing how much power a guy sitting at his computer at the local Starbucks can wield. You rock, Perez!

Music:

I'm a big fan of 80s music, cheeze factor and all. You just can't help but feel happy when you hear a song by Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper or Duran Duran!!!I also worship at the shrine of Sarah McClachlan... she's simply amazing... and I adore Natalie Merchant, Dido and the rock godesses that are Blondie and Pat Benatar!

Movies:

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Forest Gump, Steel Magnolias, Driving Miss Daisy (I have a thing for Southern films),The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Como Agua por Chocolate, Amores Perros, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and The Lion in Winter.

Television:

Ugly Betty Rulez! (I loved the Colombian and Mexican versions, but the American version is the best!) My current favorite television show is "The Amazing Race"... I would love to compete on that show. I also am a big fan of "The Golden Girls", natch, as I've written a book on the program! Also enjoy: Scrubs, Simpsons, Keeping Up Appearances, CSI: Miami, Cold Case, Footballer's Wives and Law & Order.

Books:

Books are a highly important part of my life, and each of the following books has inspired me in some way:Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline SusannThe Thorn Birds by Colleen McCulloughThe Transit of Venus by Shirley HazardThe Carpetbaggers by Harold Robbins

Heroes:

Madonna... because she's done exactly as she's wanted her whole life... no apologies! (And she's taken a great deal of flack for it, as recent headlines have witnessed...)
