Better late than never.

About Me

My name is Daniel. I study German, French and Italian at UC Riverside and I'm from a tiny town in the Central Valley called Livingston. I don't always make sense, I don't get enough sleep, and I love music, friends, family and languages (not necessarily in that order). I don't really know what else to say about myself, so just get to know me. I'm pretty easy to get along with.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Here's my last.fm profile . Everyone should join!

Here's another site I like: Webshots .

I can't believe my profile says "21 years old" now. That's just crazy.

My Interests



Some of my favorite things include: listening to music, reading (when I get a chance), learning languages (I'm obsessed), watching TV and movies (especially movies that I've never seen before), sleeping in late, going to class, going out to eat with my friends, organizing my music, snowboarding, meeting new people, and just hanging out and having a good time. I love my family to death and it makes me sad that I don't get to see them as often as I would like. But that's part of growing up, I guess.

I'd like to meet:

People who are nice, interesting, intelligent, funny, and down-to-earth. And just a little bit crazy. That's a necessity.

Music:

Music is pretty much essential.

Alla Sera

This is a poem called "Alla Sera" ("To the Evening") by Ugo Foscolo. We read it in our Italian literature class and I think it's really nice. Of course it's translated from the original Italian.Perhap...

Lame movie

Don't ever see "An American Haunting." Just don't. It's lame and it doesn't make sense and it's boring and it's not even scary. Sorry for anyone who likes that movie. The music isn't even good! It's c...
