The Dude abides.

About Me

Just a normal (mostly) guy from LA, enjoying life down in San Diego. I start at San Diego State in January...that should be fun. If you want to know more, just ask!

My Interests

Cars, music (listening and playing), bar hopping, parties, driving (not commuting), movies, the beach (volleyball, bodyboarding, etc), women, biking, gym, just hangin' out.

I'd like to meet:

People that kick ass.
AIM = SlickSW20

Music:

I could list them all, but this is easier: Last.fm Profile

Movies:

Way too many to even try to list. If it's not a chick flick and doesn't suck, chances are I'll like it.
All time favorites: The Big Lebowski, Back to the Future Trilogy, 40 Year Old Virgin, Swingers, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Original Star Wars Trilogy, all of Tarantino's flicks.

Television:

The Shield, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, Family Guy, South Park, the Simpsons, the Boondocks, My Name is Earl, and any automotive racing that isn't a popularity contest between dudes that make left turns (Formula 1 and WRC preferred).

Books:

Whatever school assigns to me and books that help me keep my car running!

Heroes:

Anyone who thinks for themselves instead of letting society think for them!

I Suck a Little Less at Life Now (My New Car)

As much as I liked the E30, I missed having a real sportscar, as well as a car with some true style.  So I went out and bought my best looking car to date (sorry MR2 people). (click for more pics...

I Suck at Life

I was in my first at-fault accident today.  Out for lunch, looking for something to eat.  A momentary lapse in attention as I scanned for places to find some food, I look up and traffic's st...

The Good, the Bad, and Everything In Between

Well, I guess a lot of stuff has gone on since I last posted to this thing (has it been nearly 3 months already??).  The past month and a half in particular has been a pretty heavy mental rollerc...

Are the walls closing in yet?

Fuckin' hell...what a week.  And it's not even over yet. It's funny how things always happen all at once.  Not that it's always a bad thing -- far from it, in this case -- but if I've ever n...

One more thing I can scratch off my to-do list before I die

Club 33.  The secret restaurant in the famous New Orleans Square at Disneyland, and the only place alcohol is served on the park.  A place so secret, to many it exists only as a rumor.&...

You spend your free time doing *what??*

So when summer started, I needed something cheap to occupy my time while I looked for a job, since I didn't want to constantly go out and spend money that I didn't have.  I had wanted to build an...

Second semester over, one more until transfer...

Whew...what a semester.  It turned out to be a lot more challenging than I anticipated, and for awhile I was afraid I wasn't going to pass my math course.  All went well, though.  2 sem...

I apologize in advance...

...if I appear to be distant or if I'm hard to get ahold of over the next week or two. My grandpa passed today, and on top of that I've got 3 tests and 3 big assignments due for school this coming wee...
