Here's my life in a nutshell for the world to see: Hi I'm Sandro. I was born and raised in Sunland (Los Angeles), CA. Many classmates remember me as the experimental human punching bag. Worked a number of odd end jobs after high school. Spent a while in Idaho cutting trees in 1996. I did not favor being in the middle of nowhere while on the job so I went back to L.A. I joined the Army in May, 1999 and went to Infantry Basic at Ft. Benning, Georgia. I was stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington in 2000. Left active duty in 2002 and was married soon after. I stayed in the Seattle area and worked a few jobs there. Was activated to go to Iraq with the National Guard in November 2003, in which I spent a year overseas. I came home from Iraq in March of 2005 and was divorced soon after. I moved back to L.A. in September 2005, transferred to the California Army National Guard and tried to go to Afghanistan in the process. Unfortunately that fell through. In August 2006 I landed a great job working for the Army at the Calexico border. The Imperial Valley was an interesting place. I left the border in May 2008. There's a pretty good chance I will stay in the Army for 30 years at this point. I have been around the world and I am certain that there is no better city than L.A. That's just my opinion anyhow. Those that have spent time in Hollywood may agree with me. I have always been a smart ass with a dark and strange sense of humor. I am also brutally honest, but most appreciate that. I like clubs but I'm not a great dancer. I prefer smoke filled dive bars. Time is precious and life is short. Might as well have fun while we're here because you only live once. Many people for some reason seem to forget that often. I tell it how it is. To some I am a mystery, to others I'm too easy to figure out. Only the one's that are close (and that number is very few) to me can guess that one. Overall, life really has been good so far. Any questions? UPDATE: I will be going back to Iraq for my second tour in late August of this year. I am going up to Camp Roberts, CA on June 9th...........

My Interests

KARAOKE (and i can really sing), shopping (I can spend hours in a mall), road trips, making friends and networking, fine dining, expanding my never ending cd music collection, working out once in a while, playing pool, drinking, & smoking. Oh yeah, and playing soldier (and I'm damn good at that too). ....

I'd like to meet:

I have no clue. Enthrall me.

Books:

Not usually interested in books. I can read though. No really, I can! Don't let the Army thing fool you.

Heroes:

Those who accept that L.A. traffic will always suck and deals with it with a smile.
