About Me

check out my blog - My Two Cents - at http://www.my-twocents.blogspot.com

I'm a dork, but I will kick your ass. If you know martial arts I will fight dirty. I love those shrimp chips that look like ridged fries that I get in aisle 2 at Safeway on Church...I'll eat the whole damn bag, no matter how big it is, its like a damn addict getting a hold of some crack or something. I'm retarded for them...it scares me.

I like politics and foreign affairs. It's the other thing I'm totally retarded for. God honest truth, I'd probably go crazy if I didn't have my blog to organize my thoughts and express them (for political stuff).

I think I make alright company, but I'm real shy around new people or with certain people. I'm a warm person 99% of the time, but I can be cold or mean to people -- some of them deserve it, some definitely don't and I do check myself for being a dick.

My dreams?...my motivations?...What I want to accomplish (or help accomplish) before I make my exit from the Earth? Ask. Although a few drinks at a bar or at the house are usually appropriate for such conversations. I'm curious about the same question about other people. Then again it might just be an excuse to drink!!

It's about time I changed my "About Me"!!

My Interests

Politics (I'm a fuckin geek!!), TV, Family Guy and Futurama...a lot of the Adult Swim line up basically.

I like to hang out with friends and have a few beers (I love Hefeweizen. Wheat beers are the shit) until shit is funnier.

I'm more of a bar person than clubs.

Want us to be friends quick? Have a few drinks with me and we can shoot the shit. Or you can do it the hard way...LOL j/k (sort of)

I'd like to meet:

Old friends from my youth that I lost touch with, and...fuck it whatever.

Meet Rudy Guiliani's Foreign Policy Team. Same warmongering ideology as the current president advisors, only some are even crazier! Advisors have huge influence over President's with little foreign policy experience...like Bush, and Guiliani. You want an aggressive and dangerous Middle East policy, vote for Guiliani. You want a war in Iran, then your best bet is a Guiliani vote

Music:

Erthang. Except Country and Polka and crap like that.

Support and listen to my boy Niko Villamor and the Ivy Leegue - he's out doing big things in the rap game.

I hardly recognize him since his days in San Fran.

Movies:

Superbad!! I loved it. I so want to see it again!! Knocked Up was pretty good. Shawshank Redemption, I just like movies that Morgan Freeman narrates in...he's good at that. Bruce Almighty, Forest Gump, hmm I'm drawing a blank...

Television:

Family Guy, Futurama, the Simpsons, Battlestar Galactica (Geek!!), ...I don't know, the news. I hate reality shows but I always end up watching them with my friends so...Shot at Love, I Love New York. History channel stuff and Discovery channel stuff...ooo, you guys ever see that show about how things are made?? I love that shit!

Books:

There are just too damn many, let me put it this way: Its either politics and/or world affairs books, or science fiction (too much reality and politics will drive you mad so you gotta read some out of this world crap from time to time.)I recently picked up 'World War Z' though and thought it was good. I wonder if "I am Legend" will be sort of similar?

Heroes:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt...seriously.

And the various people who've been there during the rough spots in my and our families life.

The Calm Before the Storm...

So, I guess I've been lagging ALOT on the blogging lately, which is bad considering the interesting developments out there (Iran NIE, CIA destruction of videotapes showing "enhanced interrogations i.e...

Tough Decisions...

It's not been a good week. Stress from so many directions and physical exhaustion (well, that is a little bit of an exaggeration) are giving me that permanent "clenched" feeling you get in your ...

New Yorkers Paying for Giuliani’s Booty Calls?

Well, Joe Kline IS kind of a douche...

I mean, they don't call him "Joke Line" for nothing right? Ok, so I'm officially supposed to be on a blogging hiatus but...what can I say? Definitely no long posts, and no "roundup" posts with a...
