SUPERFREAK

My name is Francisco Alonso Jimenez. AKA. "PACHI". Born in Louisiana, USA but then my parents sent me to a tiny fisherman town (and main port to go to the famous Margarita Island) called Puerto la cruz (Venezuela) where i stayed with my grandma and cousins for a couple of years until my parents finished college in the USA and then returned to Venezuela. In Puerto la Cruz I met the most wonderful people and had the greatest and most enjoyable memories of my life (Saludos a los panas del Puerto ustedes saben quienes son!) , that is the only place I can call HOME, the energy and vibe of that place is just out of this world!!! In 1994 moved with my dad, (a mechanical and electrical engineer) to the Capital of Venezuela (CARACAS) for a period of two years. Right after the dramatic divorce of my parents, my mother (also a mechanical Engineer) moved to the city of Valencia (Venezuela). I got kicked out of the house and my baby sister stayed with my mom ( which i barely saw grow up after that). I Never liked the city life of Caracas, it was too crowded, violent and totally different life style, eventually I adapted to it and i also got to meet great people while in there, finished high school, got my heart broken (Teenager love frenzy) and got tired of all so decided to move to the USA back in 1996 to Fairfax, Virginia with a new found relative from my father side (long story). Joy did not last for long so with only 18 years of age i had to move once again and start my life on my own. Found myself a basement in Burke and started going to Northern Virginia Comunity College and doing anything to survive (dishwasher, waiter, cook, I even worked in 7-Eleven once!) I always thought that "Shame does not take away Hunger" and that "The ultimate Goal Justifies all means". Once done with college went to Strayer University where i got my degree in International business, after that I got my first "white collar job" as an Acquisition Analyst for the Government (Department of the Navy), fell in love, bought a house and then got heart broken again and got laid off my job at the same time (wohooo :O). Destiny placed me in the real state and mortgage biz (which is what i currently do) During all these years in the state of virginia i have met some people that have helped me and given me confort and refuge when I needed it, and even lending me their families and making me feel part of them. (THANK YOU, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE). Put together a band called the papas underground www.myspace.com/papasunderground back in 2002. These guys (Claudio, Santiago, Francisco and Cheeto) have become my brothers in arms. I love being in a band! I really drain it all when you put a musical instrument in front of me.Early in march 2007 i moved to florida. I'm truly Loving it here seems like this will be my home at last. This is as close as it gets to my homeland back in venezuela. I still do music, it is part of me is the only way to escape for me but at times it feels like a burden or a curse. Go to www.myspace.com/pachijimenez if you feel like checking it out.My passion is music of the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s. In fact, i like everything from that era sometimes i feel I belong there (the 60s). I could swear that sometimes I even can hear Military choppers and machine gun firing from the vietnam era. :o)Extreme obsession with guitars and musical equipment. I also like movies, movies that make you think or movies based on true stories or history movies.In general I consider myself a very outgoing and caring person but I can be very shy and quite at times. I'm very naive and i blindly trust in people. I tend to keep things for myself.....ok that is it for now ;o)
