About Me

i am a graphic designer. i'm the coolest nerd you'll probably ever meet. i'm half puerto rican and half white, so affirmative action works either way for me (pimp the system any way you can). i'd much rather write than talk, so i can converse for hours on instant messenger. in person, i don't really say much. i like to know something about everything; i have too many areas of interest to list. i'm rough around the edges. i HATE when people dog ear pages in books - use a flippin bookmark! i'm more interested in why people do things than the things they actually do. most people baffle me. and i'm sure i baffle many people.

my brother goes by lumin . he's not only is the best friend i have, but also a kick ass dj, mc, and producer. check out his profile and give a listen. we cross-promote each other's work. gotta love family.

My Interests

i love graphic design, photography, music, movies, books, tv. anything that will affect my creativity, enhance my knowledge, or cause me to think. i still watch saturday morning cartoons (when i wake up early enough), play with toys, and drink ovaltine. i rule at the kevin bacon six degrees of separation game. i'm an avid people watcher. i'm a party flyer fiend, but i only grab the ones that are designed well. i like grammar and punctuation and hate typing capital letters, even though i write in all caps. (does that make me a hypocrite?) i like instant messenger. i love useless facts, so i'm pretty good at jeopardy and trivial pursuit.

I'd like to meet:

people in need of graphic design. let me know what you need, and i will let you know what i can do and how much it will cost. i'm working on some things, so i'll be saying much more about this soon!

beyond that - some nice, chill individuals who have something important to say, about anything. really, i'm not hard to get along with.

i love books and movies, so i'd like to meet people who enjoy discussing them.

Music:

i listen to music all the time. it would take too long to list all of it here. i mostly listen to hip hop (none of that crap they play on the radio, mtv, or bet). indie rock - i lump all of that stuff together because there are too many "labels" to remember - i apologize to all the subculture purists. classics - everything from james taylor to marvin gaye. stuff your parents were down with. electronic - my brother's been turning me on to some excellent deep house, downtempo, and broken beat stuff. (he dj's in miami - his user name on myspace is lumin.) there are a lot of good electronic joints out there. i think that sums up most of it.

Movies:

big lebowski. swingers. office space. 28 days later. snatch. boondock saints. man on fire. we were soldiers. black hawk down. the limey. slc punk. american splendor. alien. aliens. style wars. dogtown and z boys. scratch. riding giants. step into liquid. radio. the last samurai. garden state. the incredibles. dawn of the dead (1978). mean machine. the fugitive. ronin. star trek 4. shaun of the dead. they live. the warriors. batman begins. the godfather I and II. donnie brasco. serenity. four brothers. there are a bunch of others because i'm kind of a movie addict.

Television:

prison break. 24. lost. house. supernatural. jericho. heroes. the simpsons. family guy. seinfeld.

Books:

i love all kinds of books. the ones i've been reading recently have been about graphic design, web site design, and a couple of discworld novels by terry pratchett.

Heroes:

jesus, my parents, mc escher, anyone who has helped me understand myself better by giving of themselves, anybody who teaches someone else anything (teaching is hard), people who help needy children both in our country and abroad.
