About Me

Local kid born and raised. I have many interests, the main one being music. If my friends were to describe me, they would say I am a music freak. I go out a lot to see bands I am a lover of pop culture. I do a radio show at www.kcrlive.com and have been doing it since 1995. My show can be heard every Thursday evening from 6-8pm pst, and every Saturday from 10-noon pst. I am very easy to get along with and am laid back. I am honest, passionate, sincere, caring, friendly, trustworthy and I consider myself to be a very good friend.I try to be as honest an upfront with people at all times, and I expect the same in return. I am a great listener and I have been told more than once that I have a great sense of humor. I am outgoing but then again I can be very shy, it just depends on the situation. I decided to go back to school to become an x-ray tech, it is something I have been interested in for a long time, and finally decided to go for it. I try to spend as much time as possible with my friends, as they are very important to me. I really value friendship and my personal relationships are essential to me. I love good conversation, I can spend hours talking with others . I try to keep a positive attitude, but sometimes the glass seems half empty sometimes there isn't even a freaking glass at all. I have patience for others but none for myself.I use 4 letter words quite liberally. I like to go out to dinner. I like to play poker,hike,art, hang with friends, good conversation,I have an interest in yoga, but I have not really explored it too much. I don't like fish, in fact, I don't much care for anything that comes out of the ocean. I have a phobia of lobsters! I don't know why but they truly freak me out. If you came at me with a lobster, I would run away like a frightened child. I can be stubborn and opinionated, but I can also admit when I am wrong.I love animals and would have tons of pets if I could swing it. I like the padres but would much rather watch them on TV than in person. I'm not really a fan of crowds.I love pizza but am lactose intolerant. I love soccer and baseball, but you could not pay me to sit through a basketball game. I love to go to the movies, and prefer good stories to special effects, or car chases.You have got a better chance at winning the lottery than catching me in a polo shirt or a fanny pack, or even a sports jersey with someone else's name on the back.Now Color me reactionary, but those kinds of fashion disasters simply are not my bag.I am rarely late. I'm not flaky. I am always interested in growing as a person, but you would never know since I am only 5"6. I listen to a lot of weird shit, but my all-time fave band is the Beatles.I don't have time for pretentious people. I like to read a lot I consider myself to be spiritual, but I never go to church. I don't like pushy people, nor do I like my personal space invaded. I am courteous and polite, and expect the same from others. I love the Casbah, but you couldn't pay me to go into a club in PB. I have cried at the movies before, but refuse to clap for them when they are over. I have never seen American idol. .
