There's no point in being nuts if you can't have a little fun.

About Me

Ok here's the gist of it: I'm 23, from Edinburg and was a Chemistry major (only three or so hours from graduation) at UTPA. Now I'm attending the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy in Kingsville. I think that at one time the school was supposed to be part of TAMUK, but that fell through and now it's part of the Texas A&M Health Science Center. We can't even use the library resources. Screw the Javelinas. Puro pinche Aggies! It's a seemingly boring little burg, but it should provide little distraction from studying. I know it's going to be a pain but it'll all be worth it when it's done, when I'm poppin' by collar, lighting Cuban cigars with insurance forms, drinking Cristal from a mortar and pestle, and just gettin' nice with it.

My Interests

Music, science, Pharmacy School (hells yeah its interesting), hanging out with comrades, and video games (especially Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Legend of Zelda, and DDR. *coughLOSER!cough*) I love watching sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Astros, and Florida State Seminoles. I like to buy movies and then wait about 8 months before I actually watch them. Examples: Die Hard (2 yrs.), A History of Violence (about 6 months), and Final Fantasy VII (6 months.) I am also an atrocious dancer. But I'll try if I've had enough drinks in me.

I'd like to meet:

David Letterman, Dave Grohl, Eliza Dushku, Kristen Bell, Matt Groening, and other people I can't think of at the moment. There's more, believe you me.

Music:

Foo Fighters, Weezer, Midtown, STP, RHCP, Journey (only with Steve Perry), Kanye West, Sarah McLachlan (it calms me down real nice), Keane, Rage Against the Machine, DMX, Garth Brooks, George Strait, The New Amsterdams, Jack Johnson, Counting Crows (only A Long December, the rest is trash), CCR, Ben Folds Five, The Bee Gees (not the disco), and many more. Frankly, I'll listen to anything. I loathe Metallica and have nothing but contempt for reggaeton.

Movies:

Gladiator (the Roman epic, not the underground boxing flick, which is good in its own right), Predator (part 2 is garbage), The Shawshank Redemption, The Naked Gun trilogy, American Beauty, A Beautiful Mind, Troy, Rocky III and IV, Fight Club, Mallrats, Can't Hardly Wait, The Running Man (horrible, yet good at the same time), Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Caddyshack, Swingers, Robocop, Rounders, Signs, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Coming to America, Dude, Where's My Car, Office Space, The French Connection, the first two Terminators, Blazing Saddles, Match Point, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and mostly anything from Disney and Pixar. Fuck all y'all who think Finding Nemo is better than Toy Story. Finding Nemo is great, but it can't hold a candle to Toy Story. The Pixar story begins and ends with Toy Story. "I'm Woody! Howdy, howdy, howdy!" A shark with a cowboy hat... it doesn't get much better than that. There's others, but my fingers are numb from typing.

Television:

Any sports (except the WNBA), My Name is Earl, The Office, Grey's Anatomy. That's it now that Chappelle's Show is gone and The Simpsons is not funny anymore. Old-school Simpsons, Futurama, Freaks and Geeks, Seinfeld (best show ever!), Made (unless the kid starts bitching at the start). UFC is awesome too. How I Met your Mother is hilarious. Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are great.

Books:

I just remembered that I have read books. Bringing Down the House, Mythology, and I think that's it. Do game manuals count? They are books. I found some more books that I can only assume I read at one point or another: The Great Gatsby, Why Not Us (about the Red Sox and it's so called nation), and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Heroes:

The dude who invented Skittles, which are the best candy in the world, and Achilles. Reese's peanut butter cups are awesome, and so is mostly anything with peanut butter in it. I don't really care for the skittles gum, though. It tastes like skittles, looks like skittles, but you can't eat it. It's all a tease!
