About Me

I'm a semi-American, full blooded Chilean, white as wonderbread hispanic (filling out forms for "ethnicity" can be confusing). My passion is to be a follower of Christ...an endeavor whose truest mark of authenticity is the extent to which I love others without conditions. I wrestle with simply calling myself a "Christian" because of the amount of baggage that the title carries with it. As one of my hero's, Rob Bell, states, "Many people confuse God with religion and walk away from them both." But all that's another conversation in and of itself... Bottom line... life is meant to be lived in communinity, sharing life together in a manner that restores beauty to the ordinary.

My Interests

Good movies, good books, traveling (especially if it requires a passport), butchering / learing other languages, meaningful conversations, hearing other people's stories, eating ethnic foods, movies that require you to read subtitles, rock climbing and dancing (WCS, blues and a twist of Lindy).

I'd like to meet:

Bono, Will Ferrel, Rob Bell, Jared from Subway, Dallas Willard, Jessica Alba, and Stacey's Mom

Music:

To much to list (Like most people, my music tastes are pretty eclectic). I'll break it down real simple! Here's the music I've been listening to this year: Sigur Ros, Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, Mutemath, Michael Buble, Sherwood, Waking Ashland, and the Art Heckman band(shout out to my boy!!!)....just to name a few.

Movies:

Good Will Hunting, Godfather I, II, III; The Power of One, Swingers, Bullit, anything by Wes Anderson, Anything with Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughn. Garden State, Hotel Rwanda, Breakfast Club, (I'll stop there, way to many to put in a little blurp!)

Television:

Don't have cable

Books:

A few of my favorite books are...Celebration of discipline (Richard Foster), The Pursuit of God (A.W. Tozer), The Great Divorce (or anything by C.S. Lewis), Renovation of the Heart (Dallas Willard)...and the 2004 edition of Litigation unlimited (the chapter on class action law suits changed the way I view the world...yeah not so much)

Heroes:

My big sis... for teaching / reminding me to always find the best in people / situations, etc.
