About Me

..

Click my map to view a bigger and more detailed version!

I have antecedents who were Basques from northern Spain on both sides of my family (two generations ago, and my folks never let me forget this, lol) but I consider myself Asian (and I'm damned proud of it - the 21st century belongs to Asia), and I think my outlook is more Oriental. East meets West, I guess.

And yeah...

Height: 178 cm (5'10")
Weight: 74kg (163lbs)
Arms: 15"
Chest: 40"
Waist: 29"

Aside from the obvious, that's it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:


Top eights, top twelves, top sixteens are all well and good, but heck - the REALLY special people in my list are in MY FAVORITES. Wouldn't you wanna know who?

Now lemme see... Someone with...

an IQ closer to their weight rather than their shoe size,
the body of a deity,
the energy of a nineteen-year old,
the insight of a ninety-year old,
the disposition of a five-year old,
the forbearance of a saint, and
the sensitivity to know what is wrong with me even before I do.

And some things you gotta know:

No hating here please. Except for the masochists I assume we're all here to make friends and have a good time, and it pisses me off that some people have really weird ideas about how to go about doing this. Go add someone else up if you're one of 'em.
And yeah, I DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT have a G4M account! This here's the real deal, and if you wanna talk to me, you're welcome to do so here. PEACE Y'ALL!

So y'all won't have to scroll all the way down!

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST
