About Me

Hi there!! For those who don't know me, my name is Tony.
Well, I'm a very social person, and usually open minded. I have been skate'n through life with awesome friends, and a loving family. Born in Phoenix AZ, but raised and grew up in Goleta/Santa Barbara since 3 yrs of age. I'm a big believer of the golden rule, "Treat others how you'd want to be treated".
I haved served 3 years straight of Active Duty in the Marine Corps, and as of January 2006, I was honorably discharged as a combat veteran. From January 2006 to October of 2008, I will continue to serve the Marine Corps and our country as a Reservist.
I'm currently enrolled in the City College of Santa Barbara, but no real clue on what I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm thinking something with music, or maybe an Elementary Teacher. If all else fails, I'll be a fireman.
Hope your attention span is shorter than mine because I'm ending this text now. Feel free to write if you got questions! I've got nothing to hide!

My Interests

Well... I'm all about music, I like complicated films and trying to decode them... then again I also like to make stupid movies complicated in theory. I love to snowboard, and surf. I used to be a long boarder, but I mostly body surf now. I like to sketch here and there, and I'm all about the old school nintendo games. You can't call yourself a true gamer unless you grew up with it man, sorry Xbox & Halo 2 generation, just can't hack it. Hahaha!

I'm really interested in people too. Everybody has a story to tell, and it truely fascinates me to hear other experiences that make them who they are. Cars, most sports, Magic the Gathering, Drugs, bar fights, Dungens & Dragons, and graphic movies with no plot DO NOT interest me in the slightest. If you come to me for that shit, I'll hear you out, but I'll probably be screaming on the inside.

I'd like to meet:

Well, I'm using MySpace mostly for my friends... and a little for dating. I'd like to find all my friends from past to present. I felt that I haven't properly thanked them for their inspiration to keep me going through my hard times. I'm definately down for meeting Santa Barbara and Goleta locals. Generally I'm cool with anyone...just please don't be a stalker. :)

Music:

I am a big Jack Johnson supporter, and I'll sport any Reggae day in the SB. I go through moods/phases so it's hard to pick a favorite genre...and currently it's Metal, but I'm falling into Ambient and Subtle. Music is my life; but I can't listen to Banda/Ranchero...Not to quote Dane Cook, but the sound will make you want to punch a baby. If I had to list them though...

Jack Johnson, Between The Burried And Me, Incubus, Sigur Ros, Coheed & Cambria, Atreyu, Paper Blue, Sublime, Cold, 2Pac, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Jimmy Eat World, Glay, Weezer, Tom Waits, Pink Floyd, Mudvayne, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Enya, Alan Jackson, (old school) Snoop Dogg, Diane Arkenstone, Darkest Hour, Acoustic Alchemy, Deftones, George Strait, Finch, Earl Klugh, Audioslave, Staring Back, Espinaca, Marc Antoine, Yellowcard (music, lyrics need work), Agatsuma, Dr. Dre, etc. etc. etc., the list will keep goin from there... but those ones are probably the ones that stick out the most. Especially the first five.

Movies:

If I can remember them...
Memento, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, The End of Evangelion, Finding Nemo (or anything Pixar), Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Big Fish, The Matrix (pt. 1), Identity, Man on Fire (or anything Tony Scott), The Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Snatch, Training Day, The Ring, The Boondock Saints, The God of Cookery, Alfie, The Big Lebowski, Freddy Got Fingered (so horrible, it's good), Harold & Kumar, Half Baked, Old School, Dodgeball... that's all I can remember for now...
I'm sure if I saw, Muholland Dr., Clockwork Orange, and A Beautiful Mind, that those would be on my top list.

Television:

Jinica totally got me into LOST. I don't care what you say, that series is fuckin sick!!

LOST, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and primarily music videos. Don't really watch T.V. these days...

Books:

Animal Farm, 1984, Sphere, Mr. Murder, The Catcher in the Rye, Where's Waldo...hmmm I can't think of anything non-school related...

Heroes:

My mom for raising me like she did.
My sis for letting go of the past.
My brothers & sisters in the armed forces for what we believe in.
To anyone who never gives up their dream, I couldn't do that.
