About Me

A Los Angeles native. A frequent concert goer. A person who always sticks behind his family and friends. A cool dude. A person who enjoys relaxing on the weekends, but loves to go out for a night on the town when it presents itself. From this I bring you, The Dude.Care to know more? Just ask.

My Interests

Music, friends, family, my ipod, my dog, deep sea fishing, mountain climbing, camping, VEGAS, drawing, drag racing, working on hot rods, surfing (even though I suck), snowboarding, movies, reading, tattoos, Custom Culture, knowledge, weekend trips away from the city, boats, jet skis, the Munsters, a little action, my digital camera, concerts, cool people, a game of pool, the feeling you get after you do a good deed, converse, zippo lighters, dinner at the Palm, building and constructing things from scratch, meeting new people, dive bars, nonsense, new music, an early morning cup of coffee, black and white photos, living for today, random mouse pads, Armenian culture, eating, the color black, fog, LIFE.
