I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a nice guy, I try to help everyone every chance I get. I like to be around friends and hanging out in a crowd. I am very honest and loyal, even if I may look like a dick. I really would give my friends the shirt off my back if they needed it. I believe in karma, and that everything happens for a reason. Although, sometimes I cant find any good reason for it...everyone else tells me there is one. So I keep on trusting. I know if you treat people like crap, it ALWAYS comes back to you. I dont treat others like they treat me, I treat them how I want to be treated. I believe in true love, am a hopeless romantic, and think if anything is worth doing...then it is WORTH doing right. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and some say I have OCD...though never diagnosed. Hmm..who knows what else is wrong with me, I hate doctors.I am laid back and just like to laugh and have a good time. I don't really care what people think, and tend to be a little weird and dorky at times. I like it that way most of the time actually. People usually have a good time when around me, if they aren't stuck up, or crotch faces. Haha, see....fun stuff. I like to be random, whether it's sarcastically talking smack for fun or challenging my dog to a UFC match and taking him to the floor...lol. I am a big kid at heart and always will be. Don't get me wrong I can be serious and hold an intelligent conversation with no problems. I just prefer to be silly and have a good time.My favorite thing to do by far though is work on my car. It helps relieve alot of stress and anger. Get under there and break torque on something, rip it out, replace it, and shove it back in...hahaha. I have done TONS of stuff to it since I bought it, and now plan to do even more as soon as possible. You can check out the car album in my pics for a good look at it.I have been working on cars since I was about 10 with my dad...or at least that's, as far back as my memory takes me. I have worked on pretty much everything, and am willing to tackle almost anything. I used to disassemble toys as a kid, just to put them back together. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Point being...I love the challenge..cars are a big part of my life, and the faster the better.As you might now know, I am building a 93 240sx coupe. I have a full step by step on my cardomain page. I took it to the track for the first time awhile back, just to get an idea of how fast it is...I did three runs that night with 7psi, and the best turned out to be a [email protected] with and absolutely horrible 60' of 2.4 sec. I was really easing on it though being the first runs and all. I have a video below and in my VIDEOS section. Check it out and be sure to leave me some love. There are a bunch of haters that dont seem to understand the work I have already put into this beotch. By the way...I am in the right lane vs. my friends dad in the left.P.S. - I dont really care that he is in an older "probably stock" firebird. I am interested in my final time...so shut up you fucking haters!

Click to see VideoMy 93 240sx Coupe - Cardomain SiteI am currently running 10psi daily and 12/14psi @ the track. Finally got my boost controller and turbo timer installed. It's more than a pleasure to drive and I recommend anyone with a 240 take a ride with someone who has the SR...it is FUN! I plan on keeping everyone informed through the modification process and have lots-o-pics!! I LOVE THIS CAR!! I can't wait to get some more cash saved and slip some coilovers/suspension goodies on her. I got the welded diff in her, which I kinda hate. It sucks ass in the rain and is even worse when it is cold + wet. I spun out after hitting a puddle on the highway...luckily my driving skills played a huge part, and I only ended up with a small dent and broken tail light. It was scary traveling backwards on the highway with headlights coming right at me...lol.Other than working on cars and drifting I also enjoy LOTS of other things such as: planning the next mod for my car, listening to music, singing out loud when no one is listening, cooking, learning about snakes and tarantulas (I have 14 with plans for more!)Other things are...playing pool/shuffleboard/darts, disc golf, writing poetry, educating people on things I excel in, drawing, going to movies, swimming, playing video games, going to concerts, sex, gathering with local car crew/enthusiasts, cleaning (sometimes), drifting my RC cars, painting and airbrushing, watching movies at the house, photography, editing video, reading magazines sometimes books if they can grab my attention in the fist 2 chapters....almost all normal stuff I guess.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Hey You! Point & Click
Simon Says Click Me!Truthfully, I would like to meet anyone who has something interesting to say, or is passionate about something. It brings life to otherwise dead eyes. I definately would rather talk to open minded people. Narrow minded people piss me off, people that assume things piss me off, and liars/cheaters piss me off...so if your any of those..dont bother talking to me.I know it may not be grip racing, or the fastest way to get around a track, but it damn sure is the hottest way to get around a track I have ever seen. You just dont know how much adrenaline pumps through your veins until your looking straight forward out the passenger side window while drifting around a corner. IT IS SICK!!
Click & Watch Mofo
You Clicky...You WatchyI would love to meet all of the D1 Gran Prix drivers from Japan...wouldn't be able to understand them, but oh well. I would love to ride shotgun with Taniguchi I also would love to meet Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Bam Margera ..red(who by the way, turned down my friend request....asshole!) , Bam's Ex..Jen (Oh yeah!!), DJ Rap, Colleen Shannon, Travis Barker, Les Claypool, Wes Borland, Ryan Dunn, Jim Breuer, Dave Chapelle, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, few of the Formula D drivers...ie..Dai, Chris Forsberg, Rhys Millen, Casper, and probably 100 or so porn stars..LOL

Music:


Television:


Books:

Tarantula's - Jerry G. Walls The Tarantula Keeper's Guide - Stanley & Marguerite Schultz

My obsession with music...listening, not playing. I suck.

Music is a saving grace. If I didn't have music, I might as well not even be able to hear anything. I listen to music between 50-70 hours a week, so here I will post some of my favorite lyrics to song...
