Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacl

About Me

I am the eldest of 4 siblings, residing in Orange County. Sister Angela, Brother Rex, and youngest sister Elizabeth(Bop). Our mother who raised us all by herself is still in Orange county along with her husband Mike, runs a few homecares and is very happy. I am a graduate from teh Art Institute of Orange County and is the first grandchild to graduate college and i have 31 cousins on my mother's side(immediate). I am an Airbrush artist who pretty much paints anything from portraits to cars. I also Promote Radio COntrolled Car Races. I also love to play FPS games(first person shooters) and my favorite game of all is Soldier of Fortune 2 .Im a very outspoken guy...i guess you have to be when you do so many things. I am a fun person just like pretty much everyone else here, but to make myself different, i can honestly say i have fun with out drinking or doing any drugs. Never have...never will. I guess a lot of people percieve me as a partyer, which yes, i do attend parties, i just dont "party" like everyone else. I believe that everyone has a good heart inside, just some hide it more than others, or just plainly will never let it show. I think it is unfortunate life can make people that way. I try to bring the best out of me to bring the best out of people..and for the most part..it works. Loving people is my best trait. I'd help you if you needed me, just don't take advantage of my kindness...losing me as a friends IS a big loss. 80% of the people in my friends list are people i went to school with...all very good people who has touched my life in one way or another. I am foreve grateful to them. I would like to ask if you want to add me, be my friend...dont just add me and say yeah..hes cool...i want to know you. Its not that im in desperate need of a friend, its because i do care.I also teach Photoshop and Illustrator at Platt College where i really do love to do. I'd like to eventually get my masters and teach Highschool art as well as coach football. Long term goals, but a goal nontheless.

My Interests

Having fun....any type of physical activities...sports..racing...art..drawing..painting...gamin g.....what else is there?

I'd like to meet:

People who are here to be real. In a small amount of time, i have seen quite a bit of masks and it is very disapointing. Being on here, you would think all masks would be put aside and just get to know the person. But yet, even knowing in the back of your mind you might NEVER meet that person, still, you would expect some INTEGRITY. Alas, it is as it is when you meet someone in a bar or club. Who i'd like to meet are people who, when they see my profile, read about me, and say..."hey...i would like to get to know that person more..and i'd like them to get to know me."I don't judge you for who you are, but how you treat me. So if you want me to be real with you, do the same!

Music:

Movies:

Lord of the Rings, Xmen 2, any Sci-Fi/Horror, Comedy....ok...i like Serendipity because i believe in that..plus...Im in love with Kate Beckingsdale!!! Incognito..yes...an excelent art film.

Gladiator, Troy, Spirited Away, Clash of the Titans, Conan the Barbarian, Collateral Damage, ID 4, Armageddon, BeastMaster, The Incredibles, Office Space, High Crimes. WHen i think of more...ill put more.

Books:

I Currently reading Dragon Flight by Ann McArthy over again. The book was given to me by a truly special friend who made me see a world i thought was dead. I am reading this in honor of her. This book is about a woman, Lessa, who leads her band of dragon riders along with her soulmate F'Lar to battle the Thread, a phenomenon that could destroy their planet. In a Sense, i feel like i am F'Lar in my journey to discovery. My truth lies in his adventures!!

Heroes:

Mr. Massan- He was my Jr. High Physical Science Teacher. With all the cool experiments he did in class, to the fact that he ran the weight lifting club after school, he served as my mentor and friend. I will forever be grateful for his friendship. Last i heard he quit teaching and bought a boat and sailed around the word. Good for you Mr. Massan...hope i get to follow my dreams as you did! Another Hero i have is Rolando Mercado. He is a retired Disney Animator who mentored me while i was in school. He really believed in me and saw what i had to offer and never let me forget that. Being the success he was and still inspiring yuong minds to me gives much reward. I still keep in touch once in a while, and he is still mentorring many college students. He helped me get through the harder part of college. Thankyou Rolando.
