"Pain is a reminder you're alive.

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
In many ways, I'm probably a lot like you.
I just go about it differently. I'll say and do all the things you were thinking...
but wouldn't dare say. Or do. I'm kinda' extreme. I'm sometimes very docile and tranquil. I'll chuckle to myself as things happen before my eyes.
But other times I'm loud and crazy. Drink in hand, I'll be vulgar, crack dirty jokes and laugh myself to tears.
And have no recollection of it until the next morning when someone reminds me of all the crazy things I said and did.
Everything I do
I do to the fullest. There's little gray area with me and I don't give a fuck, because tomorrow the sun will rise whether I do or not. I promise you. Life isn't worth living if you're not willing to risk losing it. A quarter century into this life and I like to think it's been very eventful. In 2004 I had hopes of being a great boxer and moved to southern California where I settled in Long Beach. I was out there for 4 years and did everything from boxing, to modeling to working graveyard in grocery stores, to starring in a reality tv show , to personal training, to acting, which lead to a minor role in a movie from Vivid Video. I'm currently writing a book based on all my Adventures In Southern California. I had pissed away nearly 50 thousand dollars of prize money from the reality show, had some poor performances in a couple boxing matches, and quit or been fired from every odd job worked in the LA area. Broke (and brokenhearted), I had no where else to go but back to this vortex we all call El Paso, the city where most everyone complains about living in but does very little to leave because rent is cheap.
And so is booze.
Not exactly thrilled to come back home under the terms, I decided I'd do one last grand and crazy thing before El Paso got me and it was too late. And so, I went to go live in Brazil for 2 months.
Now I'm back in El Paso and nothing is like I remember it. I don't see any of the friends I used to hang out with. I live in another side of town from which I grew up.
But it's a'ight. I'm happy to be back with my family. Mainly, I'm happy to be back with my father who I love so much. And I live in a dope ass house with a bar.
Yes, like the one you and your friends go to on weekends, or whatever. It's got a full size pool table and everything.

My Interests



Michel Gondry, director of Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless, and this commercial:

I'd like to meet:

I've seen some fuken douche guys with beautiful girls by their side. But who knows what's going on with that.
She's probably the hottest girl he'll ever have and he's probably the only guy that can put up with her scandalousness. My friend, Martha says I'm just too difficult. I say whatever. I've compromised myself before for the love of a girl. Once, I was so destroyed I had to leave the city. The other time, I had to leave the country. It's a terrible feeling. Like agreeing with another person to jump into a pool of ice cold water, just for a thrill. On 3...1...2...3. And you're the only one who jumped in leaving you all cold and wet. So call me difficult. I'll wait patiently for her and she'll understand me exactly and won't think me at all difficult.

Music:

My homie Eric put me on to pretty much every artist I listen to these days. Including my favorite band possibly in the world, Ninja Academyand here are other artists I enjoy listening to.

Movies:



I was 17 years old and was in Detroit, MI for a while. I was alone and far, far, far away from home and anything that even slightly resembled home and thus home sick. But a couple times I went to the movies. It was then that I realized that a really good movie can get me so wrapped up in it, that for the while that I'm watching it, I forget about anything and everything that's troubling me in the real world.
I love me some movies.

Television:

Californication, Weeds, Dexter

Books:


FREAKONOMICS, THE WORLD IS FLAT, FIGHT CLUB, CHOKE, SURVIVOR, THE ART OF WAR, ANIMAL FARM, THE PRINCE, THE ALCHEMIST, BRAVE NEW WORLD, JEET KUN DO (It's the publication of diaries Bruce Lee wrote.)

Heroes:


Many times I've been complimented on my virtues and I owe it to MY FATHER and hope that one day I could be half as good a father to my children as he has been to me. He's my living guardian angel.

IwishIwas Miguel Cotto

Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez - The first and only Salvadorian world champion in ANY sport. He's all heart and a great and kind man. And another great inspiration to me.

Antonio Margarito - The baddest mutha in the welterweight division, and apparently the most feared. Extremely hard working and down to earth. Also a great inspiration to me.

Arturo "Thunder" Gatti - The Ultimate Blood & Guts warrior.

Diego "Chico" Corrales - R.I.P.

Can't forget about The Dark Knight. The Super Hero with no super powers. Totally human and vulnerable, he's just highly intelligent and works out a lot. And as Bruce Wayne, he's the ultimate PLAYBOY!

Swallow Your Pride

It's good and sometimes necessary to swallow your pride. But other times swallowing your pride is like swallowing your blood. It'll make you sick.
