I guess I would have to say that I'm a complicated guy that comes in a simple package. There are so many wrong assumptions that people make about me when they look at me that when they finally start to get to know me as a person, as opposed the fictional portrait that they have painted in their heads, they're very surprised. Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT White! To the government, I am Hispanic. To my acquaintances, I am Mexican-American. To my classmates, I am Chicano. But to my friends and family, I'm just Marv. I'm actually from East Los, born and raised believe it or not. Another important thing about me is that I'm constantly being accused of caring too much about others and putting them before myself. Oh well, what can I say? I guess I've been cursed with a good heart in this individualistic, materialistic, late-capitalist society. I have a simple saying for how I want to live my life: When a president dies, kings and emperors will come to the funeral. When I die, I want my friends and family to come. I guess it's as simple as that and I will never compromise that for as long as I live. I just don't believe in putting myself above others by flaunting my privileged education and accomplishments over their heads because it's that kind of elitist mentality that is the true root of all the problems facing society today, more than the systematic, institutionalized racism and discrimination. But hey, don't peg me as such a serious guy, I actually like to have fun just like everyone else...DOYERS!!! It's all about the Blue Crew up in the city of angels!
I also follow boxing religiously (C'mon Oscar! Hometown ICON representing East Los right here!)
and I'm the hugest Mexican Green Bay Packers fan since before everyone jumped on the bandwagon...Go Brett Favre! That's my homie right there
