OH IVAN

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Does anybody actually read this section anymore? Hmmm...well if YOU do, then here it goes. Just a fun loving guy who likes to live life day by day (cliche anyone?). I’m part German, Spanish and Mexican, just in case you were wondering. Yes, that pretty much makes me a mutt. :/ I'm currently a corporate whore working as a Sales Manager for Xerox and playing in rock bands on the weekends. Yes, two extremes I know, but its the easiest way to stay sane. I graduated from USC a few years back and have done this 8 to 5 thing ever since. I have a great outlook on life and I always try to to keep the stress factor down to a minimum. I like to think i have one of the cutest dogs in existence (see pics if you dont believe me). I've been playing in bands for the last 7 years and loved every minute of it. I now play sax in my band CELLPHISH (this is where you go find us on myspace and add us as your friend..hint hint). I love hanging out and making friends at the local bars, cracking jokes, rocking out at concerts and blasting music in my car up and down Whittier. Oh, and yes i bite. Really damn hard too. :P

My Interests

Laughing out loud, memorizing movie lines, taking road trips, shopping, investing, drinking my trusty friend Jack & Coke, chugging Coors Light (no its not pee water, i dont care what you say Richie), Working out, exploring new hole-in-the-wall bars, Playboy (and NOT for the articles), Astrology, lying in bed all day on Sundays, Sudoku, my dog Stewie, playing music, listening to music, going to watch my favorite bands rock out...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a good sense of humor. If you can make me laugh, i'll send you $1 (ok, maybe). You can hit me up on AIM instant messenger: CIVANGO. I usually don't add friends unless you send me a message first. P.S. If the words "mami" or "papi" or "i know huh?" are part of your normal everyday vocabulary, don't even try it. No glass eyes or peg legs allowed either, they kinda freak me out. :P

Music:

Mostly rock, punk, ska, some indie/hardcore and a smidge of Spanish Rock. I used to play sax in a band called Codename:Rocky, so i learned to like most of the bands we shared the stage with. Some of my fave bands are still Slapstick, Face to Face, Jawbreaker, Tuesday, Alkaline Trio, The Bronx, Thrice, The Impossibles, Less than Jake, Hot Snakes, Saosin,The Blue Meanies,Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, The Smiths, Mad Caddies, Hot Water Music, Saves the Day, Gallows, Weezer, Rx bandits, Siren Six, Rocket from the Crypt

Movies:

Booty & the Beast, Strippy Longstocking, Genital Hospital, Pump Friction..whoops wrong list. Dumb and Dumber, Office Space, Swingers, Sixteen Candles, Airplane, Space Balls, The Naked Gun, Police Academy, Something About Mary, Dodgeball, The Grudge, The Warriors (friggin classic), Anchorman, Grandma's Boy!, 40 Year Old Virgin, Starsky & Hutch... you get the picture

Television:

TIVO is by far the best invention ever. Now i never miss my pseudo soap operas: Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Chappelle Show, Drawn Together, Family Guy, Trading Spaces, Ultimate Fighting, Scare Tactics, Reno 911, South Park, and The Man Show. Yes i like Trading Spaces.

Books:

1984, One Minute Millionaire, Rich Dad Poor Dad, anything by Stephen King or Dan Brown
Your Birthdate: March 21
Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude.You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression.Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing.You are energetic and always a good conversationalist.You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters.Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about.You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive.You are subject to rapid ups and downs. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?..

Heroes:

Definitely my dad. He's one of the smartest individuals i know. Oh, and these mofos below:
