About Me

I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, a very nice town in the north central part of Mexico. I'm 3/4 mexican, 1/4 dutch, 6'2'' in height, black hair, hazel eyes (when you look close to my eyes, if not, to the naked eye they may just seem brown), sort of athletic body. I'm an outgoing guy that loves to laugh and make the best of every situation ("smiling is the second best thing you can do with your lips"). There's 3 things I love the most (besides my family): I love to travel, been to a lot of places in the US and to Europe and Southamerica. I love to play and watch sports, couldn't live without them. And I love to make the best effort I can in everything I do, cause I'm a passionate person...Quotes: "Love can't be found where it doesn't exist... and it can't be hidden where it does". By love I don't mean that mushy emotion described in movies and poems, I mean the actual emotion of treasuring something not just someone, the feeling of connection and the need to experience that or them or whatever is it that you feel like. "Que los obtaculos que se te presenten sean un reto para superar y poder encontrar en la vida lo que no tiene precio: 'La Felicidad'". (Manuel Parra Marquez, mi papa)Get your myspace layouts at MyPsace.org

My Interests

Playing Soccer, going to the Gym, Salsa Dancing, Listening to music, traveling, hiking, going to jazz concerts, outdoor stuff, snorkeling, scuba diving, pool parties, movies, playing basketball, talking to people, chiling with friends at hooka bar, trying to learn how to play the piano, riding my bike, meeting new people, studying, reading, working..... It's easier to define what I don't like

I'd like to meet:

Don't know. I guess anybody that's interesting (to me, because interesting is such a subjective term, almost as subjective as the term "normal") and that catches my attention. Meeting new people and cultures is captivating.

Music:

Everything (ok, everybody says that). I guess the right answer would be all types of music.

American Psycho, The kite runner, The godfather, Scarface, Wedding Crashers, Amores perros, El crimen del padre amaro, City of god, Dumb and Dumber, Forest Gump, Memento, and many others I can't recall.
