About Me

Too lazy to do this all over again, so I'll cut and paste from my Friendster page: "Alright, here it is, the short-short version..." (mad props to whoever can successfully identify that movie quote): I rule. But seriously folks, here's a collection of random facts about me... I love rugby with a passion. I've played it since I moved to Argentina when I was 10 years old. I'll keep playing until my muscles give out on me. I have a tongue-stud (and believe me, I've heard every possible joke about a guy having a tongue-stud from the rugby team for the past four years, and will probably continue to do so until I die...). A friend of mine once told me that my game is that I have no game: it seems to have worked for me so far. Girls love my Argentine accent when I speak spanish. I love any and all music, which leads my playlists to having weird combinations, like Metallica and Mozart, Nappy Roots and Johnny Cash, and No Doubt with the soundtrack from Conan The Barbarian. I'm a complete movie buff, and very anal about movie quotes, especially when other people screw them up. I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual: a friend of mine brought me back a little Buddha statue from Nepal many years ago, and I've carried it with me ever since. I've decided to live life moment to moment, and not worry so much about the future. I'm a hopeless optimist. A scene from "Shakespeare In Love" best llustrates my take on life: Geoffrey Rush: "It'll all work out.", Someone else: "How?", Geoffrey Rush: "I don't know. It's a mystery...". I don't worry about the small things. If something can go wrong, I think to myself: "I'll cross that bridge once I get to it." I've been living in Manhattan with Liz for just over two years now, and I'm loving every minute of it.
