About Me

I think OJ did it.
My name is Christopher Patrick Partida. I am 24 years old, 25 in April, the 18th to be exact. I'm the 2nd of 4 intelligent boys. My mother's name is Elizabeth and my father's name is Michael. We are a broken home and I think better off that way. I've graduated from college and don't plan to go back unless someone else pays for it. I currently do web/graphic design. I am slowly getting sick of making websites and am enjoying graphic design much more. I like to take photos and dabble in various forms of fine arts, though like books, I rarely finish any of my projects. I love to travel, and spend time with my loved ones. I've seen 3 countries, including around 43 of the states. I have been fortunate in life, even though I've seen some rough times. I keep my head up and live life to it's fullest.
I've recently started many collections, some that I had already, but now am focusing more time and money into. They include: small animals (reptiles/amphibians/fish/etc.), records, vinyl toys, playing cards, cigars, photobooth photos, matches/lighters, knives, odd atrifacts, t-shirts, tattoo paraphernalia/tattoos, Sailor Jerry rum bottles and many other things.
I have an addictive personality, but not in any way that could hurt me. I spend frequently, sometimes more than I should. I try to work enough to keep myself afloat, it gives me a sense of pride. I wish I had better money handling skills, I will have to snap out of it someday soon.
I dislike it when my Ketchup/Catsup and Mustard touch, I do like it when my Mustard and Mayonaise touch. In reality, I haven't purposely ordered ketchup/catsup on anything in over 2 years. I plain gave it up. I dislike Sweet Relish, but I was very happy to find out about Dill Relish. I have a sense of humor you may not find funny at all, you may actually find it quite insulting.
I thought this was great, thanks myspace.com, you're an asshole.

Movies:

La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful) is my favorite movie, I've got a quote from LIFE (Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence) tattooed on my arm and I wish I had a copy of the video from our trip to tahoe 2k3.

Directors/ Screenwriters Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Gondry, Cohen Brothers, Roberto Benigni, Charlie Kaufman, Darren Aronofsky, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Chris Cunningham, Alfonso CuarÛn, Jim Jarmusch and many more.I also love NETFLIX. Love like a man has for a DVD rental service.

Television:

My cable is stolen and fuzzy. My local channels are even worse. I watch a lot of Comedy Central and a few of FOX's animated shows. FLCL is a good one, as well as many of the Adult Swim lineup.

Books:

Back in 2003, my friend called me while I was in Lake Tahoe during the week of Christmas and informed me that they had caught Sadahm Hussein, he then went on to tell me that Sadahm's favorite book was the same as mine. That said, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a confusing, yet oddly amusing and erotic tale of a man and his struggle for self gratification, he called this book Old man and the sea. To the unlearned person, this was no literary movement, it was a giant piece of wtf?...Hunter S Thompson was more than most people think, more than just a drug-crazed man. His writing spoke out against the criminal injustice, and spoke for the common person.Animal Farm by George Orwell has always been a good read, I need to look into his other works, I hear 1984 is an eye opener.Miranda July has newly become a favorite author of mine. Her stories are so well written, I can't help but enjoy them.I haven't been an adimate fan of reading books, but great writers such as these, I largely respect.

Heroes:


Hitoshi Matsumoto.Seriously, I'm not sure if I have true to life heroes, but I do respect a lot of people.

Artists
Ralph Steadman, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeremy Fish, M.C. Escher, Hokusai, Christian Jacobs and many more.
