About Me

First of, VENEZUELAN SPOKEN HERE, asi que me hablan claro, cuerda de diablos! I was born and raised in Venezuela where I went to college (U-U-UCV!!!) and I played hacky sack and guitar a little more than I should've! I'm a passionate musician. I play cuatro Venezolano, acoustic guitar, Latin percussion and sing as well. Here're some of the bands/projects I'm currently working on: Dejavu Latin Fusion Rhythms (Latin Fusion), Sabor Latino (Salsa, Merengue), Smooth, Sounds of Santana (Santana tribute band) I am also a percussionist for my friend DJ Cale every Friday for Elite Latin Night @ Sugar Bar. 'm also collaborating with my man Dav Julca on his new project. I'm also proud to say that I'm playing with what the future sound like; the name is Brundlefly ... CHECK IT! Also, I'm collaborating on the soundtrack (afrobeat) for an indie comedy with some friends (and damn good musicians). The film is called The Missing Goat Meat . By day, I work as a research engineer for a fuel cell company. I'm also a rock climber, backpacker, car enthusiast and road rager, hacky sack player, Guiness drinker, latin dancer (and lover... hence my old nickname: "El Pimpo McDaddy, International Man of Love" for those interested!!!)When I was around 10 years old, my Mom told me "si tu quieres levantarte a las jevitas, tienes que aprender a bailar!"... Which translates to "if you wanna hook up with girls, you gotta learn how to dance"... I was troubled by this notion - but again, I was only 10... I didn't quite understand what she meant at the time, but I will forever thank her for playing Roberto Antonio over and over again and have the patience to teach me some awesome moves! Today, decade and a half later, I just have to say that mom is always right... and I'll leave at that!"El Facemelter", Spanish for "The Facemelter", is just the best way to describe me... it's just what I do, quite simply, I melt faces! Wether it is playing music, climbing, driving, having "sexy time", I've been told that even sleeping, I am able to make faces melt from all the awesomeness I give off! I'd really like to be a little more modest about it but it's hard, it really is!I have hicked/backpacked/climbed lenghty sections of the Appalachian Trail (going for the full 2,000 miles when I retire, I promise), which I highly recommend if you wanna REALLY get away and meet some interesting, smelly people... that is, of course, if you're not afraid of black bears (you shouldn't be), mice crwaling over you, wild boars, snakes, dehydration, or boyscouts, specially boyscout leaders! Love the Grand Canyon and Sedona Rocks as well, but the rock is really fragile... not a good idea to chimney climb w/o any gear... yeah... I would know... Best climbing on the midwest? Red River Gorge, KY (Miguel's pizza kicks many asses!) and the New River Gorge, WV.I make the best guacamole on earth. On a good day, my eyes are olive-green. I collect random shanannagans, like Chinese fortunes (not for the fortune but for the Chinese... I might learn them all some day), street/traffic signs, pencils, coins and bills, baseball hats, empty cans (soda, beer, juice... got 500 of them!), and I even have a fire hydrant and a back seat of a car in my room... wanna see it? Sure you do!I'd also like to say: I don't like shaving my face, but do like shaving my head (headblade kicks ass!!!); doing laundry, ironing clothes and clipping my nails sucks (I do all of it, but it still sucks); red traffic lights slow down my goals, chipotle burritos are awesome, I like to get at least one high five a day, Heineken is really not that good of a beer, Bloody Mary is one disgusting drink, I know I'll have become an old man when farts are not funny anymore, global warming sucks, Paris Hilton going to jail = TOTALLY AWESOME, and anyone who still dances to "La Macarena", "Don't break my heart", "El Meneito" and "The electric/cha-cha slide" should be punished... many times!!! Taking over the world? not such a bad idea if you ask me... AND ONE LESS THING, PLEASE STOP WRITING "LOL" NOBODY "LAUHGS OUT LOUD" WHEN THEY READ IT! It'd make more sense if you wrote "GQTM" Gigglin' Quietly To Myself 'cause that's what people do. Thanks. And like I always say: you better check yourself before you... realize you left your wallet at the bar, so now you're sitting there trying to explain to the police officer that pulled you over that you're not only drunk, but also driving w/o a license!(Think that's too long for a Grammy acceptance speech...? CRAP, I KNEW IT!!!)
