About Me

i'm a minimalist who tries to stay away from the mundane and monotony. ambitious . i try hard to keep my commitments. into obscure music and driving my car hard. i love driving in bad weather conditions: rain, sleet, snow... into land rovers, rally cars (link to video), and subaru imprezas. frequent snowboarder , and at times, mountain biker . i love discovering and learning new things. i'm always looking for ways to better myself. a sucker for lofts . i think too much. i'm very abstract/eccentric depending on how differently you see things. into mind expansion. i can also get a little crazy for some people.. people think i'm younger than i really am. i can eat 10 scoops of ice cream in one sitting. my nicknames are gc, and g-money. my religion is snowboarding . my subaru beanie keeps me warm. i love dogs. i hate paying $20 to get into clubs. i don't feel like a loser if i'm on my computer at 10pm on a friday. i have little tolerance for bad drivers. i dislike close-minded people. i think skiiers who make too many moguls are stupid. i hang out with people of all colors. i'm always looking for good friends. i have a mammoth season pass. I write articles and shoot the Canon for The Monkey's Trunk . I also build robots for an internet startup.
