Why Can't You Be Me

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a product of diametrically opposite influences, energies, beliefs and desires. I'm a first generation Cuban-American comfortable in the underbelly of society and I'm a sheltered whiteboy from the suburbs. I loathe snobs and believe in populism but I'm an elitist that doesn't think the general population deserves any rights. I want to be a vegan and believe in animal rights but I love cheeseburgers, a good steak and leather coats. I want to travel the world and live under the radar but I love my pets and my family and don't want to dissapear from their lives.Dualities struggled with and high wires tiptoed accross.

Books:

Douglas Coupland, Douglas Adams, and that Da Vinci Code guy gets me every time! I mostly read reference material...stuff like encyclopedias, biographies, political essays and the like but I do enjoy some of the "classics." Crime and Punishment was amazing. Gorge Orwell's work is inspiring. I'm also quite fond of Kurt Vonnegut and Ayn Rand.

Heroes:

i'll give a zero sarcasm answer this time:My parents are pretty much my heroes. They're not perfect parents by any means but I can say with all honesty and certainty that they have lived their lives with their kids as their top priority. They've sacrificed more than anyone should for anything, let alone other human beings. It's taken me a long time to really understand them and I'm still learning about them every day, but my parents are the two most important people in my life and always will be.
