About Me


Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
Well, where to begin? (all right, get cozy...) I am originally from the Dominican Republic. After high school, I did my time in active service in the U.S. Army, and afterwards moved down to the Dominican Republic to live with the family. I spent a year working as a schoolteacher down there, as well as attending college. I moved back to the States not long ago to start my life anew. So far, so good. I just couldn't stay away from the uniform, so I'm currently in the National Guard, playing the Weekend Warrior bit. I recently got back from Afghanistan, and am currently about to come into the next phase in my life--I'm getting ready to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design and do what I love... immerse myself in art.
I'm a wandering heart, always looking for something new to try. I'm a bit of a wild card... Love to try new things and experience life at its fullest.
When I'm not playing soldier or student I enjoy outdoor activities and sports, traveling, comics, literature in general, cartoons, Role-Playing Games and video games, hunting and fishing, horseback riding, paintball, cooking, the arts, all types of music, dancing--A LOT!--, anything associated with water--snorkeling/scuba, surfing, jetskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, you name it--, weapons, martial arts, cars and bikes, jumping out of planes, meeting new people, and anything new and exciting, but most of all, FUN! Besides being an adrenaline junkie, I am an extrovert, and tend to lean on the outdoorsy side--but don't get me wrong, I also enjoy spending quiet time! I am a tomboy by nature, and I like to just hang with the boys and shoot pool, watch sports or go bowling, for the most part.
I guarantee anyone that I am probably the worst individual in the universe when it comes to making a decision about daily life--not because I'm a indecisive pain in the @$$ (although I could be), but because there are just so many different sides of my persona, and there are just so many things that I actually like to do, that I'd rather just have someone else choose and go with the flow. So I'll usually just go along with whatever the general consensus happens to be, and find the enjoyment in whatever it is we end up doing in any case. And, who knows, I might get to do and learn something completely new in the process, and enrich my life that much more. Regardless, I am the most undiscriminating and the least choosy person on this planet--except maybe when it comes to men. And pie. (I have to set the bar somewhere, right?!)
If you really feel the need to get to know more about me than what I've got up on this site, or if you're just terribly bored and have nothing better to do, feel free to check out my website and online portfolio with lots of cool pics and art at www.desireerincon.com . And, for more pics of me, here's a link to my Photobucket picture album as well, so you can confirm that I'm pretty normal looking, too... for the most part, anyway.

My Interests

Let's see... anything involving adrenaline, the outdoors, art, martial arts, cars, cartoons, comedy, comics, dancing, DDR, fencing, good food, history, literature, motorcycles, music, paintball, SCUBA, skydiving, sports, traveling, video games, RPGs, UFC, WWE, life, and way, way, more than I can manage to fit in here. I also enjoy pie. And monkeys. But not monkey pie, that's just gross. What can I say, I have diverse interests. Anything involving anything, really. Especially if said "anything" involves me getting up off a couch and DOING something with myself. If I actually took the time to post everything that I am into on this page, my profile would probably take forever and a day to load. And it would probably still be incomplete.

I'm big on charity work. Anyone who's known me longer than two weeks could tell you that about me. I believe that we can all make a difference, if we put forth the effort. The following is some of the work I'm involved in. Feel free to click on my links and show some love:

I'd like to meet:


I am just looking for individuals who not necessarily have the same interests, but rather have that "joie de vivre" outlook and a knack for creativity, as well as a sense of humor. I also find intelligence and honesty to be major plusses—they are such rare qualities in our society nowadays *sigh*...
For the most part, I look for people with souls as restless as mine, and not afraid to live a little. Much like Skittles, I like to "taste the rainbow," and would hope that there are others out there like me, not afraid to try something different—for a change. I like to be open and don't have anything to hide. If any of this sounds even REMOTELY interesting to you, drop a line!
*UPDATE 9/4/2005: I felt compelled to update this after getting quite a bit of email from some complete idiots on this site who apparently have nothing better to do than to fill my inbox with useless, inane emails. Therefore, I've devised a list of examples which you can use to compare with your outgoing messages to me:
1. "Wazzup ma u look fine so hott n sexi just wanted to holla at u holla back! one"
2. "Check out my pics at (insert some lame website here)!"
3. "I DoNt KnOw HoW to TyPE AnY OTher Way BuT ThiS!!! LOLOLOLORZ!!!11"
4. "I'm in a band!!! Check out my band's site!!!"
5. "I SEEM TO HAVE BROKEN MY CAPS LOCK KEY..."
OR "i dont know where my caps lock and/or shift key are..."
6. "My husband/wife and I think you're cute..."

If all you can seem to come up with when writing me is one (or more) of the above, please DON'T BOTHER... I'm not interested. I don't "holla,"I converse; I don't want to see your pics—I'm not that superficial, or engage with folks that vain; I can't stand teenybopper AOLer talk or people ignorant and/or lazy enough to not make an effort to spell properly—if this is you, you need to get your carcass back in a classroom; I don't give a $..!^ about your band—if you feel the need to send mass emails to total strangers because your band's music apparently can't speak for itself, chances are your band probably sucks; I put some effort into using my keyboard properly—not to mention place proper punctuation and grammar in my writing—and expect you to at least show me the same courtesy and/or effort, which includes NOT typing everything in CAPS, or not using Caps at all. All that does is tell me that you're either a lazy f*ck, a stupid f*ck, or a reincarnated e.e. cummings (Google it if you don't know who I'm talking about); and no, I am not a swinger, nor do I do threesomes with couples—I'm just not that deviant! Sorry!
Therefore, again, if any of the above hits the target for you, please don't bother. You'll be wasting your time, and more importantly, mine.

Music:

Just about anything under the Sun, except maybe that bubble-gum, superficial, Jessica Simpson-esque crap that doesn't really say anything for itself, either in music or lyric form.

Movies:

Anything that falls under Comedy, Action and Fantasy genres, mostly, but just about anything that doesn't totally blow monkey balls, really.

Television:

Lately, it's been a whole lot of (in no particular order): CSI (all of them); Law And Order; House, MD; Scrubs; and The Shield. I am also a HUGE Battlestar Galactica (the new version) fan. I absolutely LOVE Cartoon Network (especially Adult Swim), Spike TV, The Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and Comedy Central--can't get enough of The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, amongst other things. I can watch The History Channel all day. I'm also a HUGE fan of old TV Classics; I Love Lucy is my favorite all-time show. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with black and white. Oh, and Big Bang Theory is the best TV show ever made.

Books:

Again, just about anything under the Sun. And I read a LOT, too. My place is forever doomed to be cluttered with books.

Heroes:

I am unable to properly answer this—there are just too many sources of inspiration and influence in my life. But I would have to say that my dear old Dad ranks top in my books. Without him, I'd be nothing... in so many ways.
