My main interests are music, running, working out, dancing, baseball, hangin' with friends, sports, traveling, hot/tropical places, off roading/wheeling, and cars (mainly turbocharged sport compacts). I love working on cars in general, and I do all the modifications and repairs to my cars as well. I like to wheel/off road. I also like to play sports (especially baseball). I play and practice baseball and basketball daily in the spring/summer. I love to work out and stay in shape. I like to cook. Dancing is one of my passions, and I think I'm pretty decent at it (don't let the color of the skin fool ya). I love hot/tropical places. I have been to a handful in my life and I must say that I am now dead set on moving somewhere hot nearly all year round within the next few years. I love my job and the responsibility of rebuilding such a fine vehicle for our armed forces. I usually have the best time kickin' it with my friends. I like to party, flirt, be an asshole (most of the time at other peoples expense, but usually in a joking manner), and have a good time talking and goofing off with people who are social, have stuff in common with me, and share a sense of humor like mine and my friends. I like wearing a variety of different styles of clothing. I will wear Abercrombie & Fitch/Hollister gear one day, then Volcom, Famous, DC gear the next, then a jersey of some sort the next day after (I'm big on name brand gear). I'm kinda a big hat fanatic (baseball hats and beanies mostly). I dig piercings, I have four (one on each ear lobe, my tongue, and one on my right eyebrow), and plan on getting more soon. I've got some ink. A band around my upper right arm, a Kanji symbol in my "southern region", and my grandfathers initials on my chest above my heart. More ink is on the way.
I'd like to meet:
Old friends, new friends, and whoever (so basically everybody and anybody). Social people who are cool and have a sense of respect for themselves, other people, and other peoples sources of interest, yet are fun to be around and able to have fun. It doesn't matter who you are, what you're into, I'm into meeting all walks of life. If you want to be friends, that's all good, but DO NOT ADD ME AND THEN NOT MESSAGE ME OR YOUR ASS WILL BE GETTING DROP KICKED THROUGH THE UPRIGHTS FROM MY FRIENDS LIST! Fake, flakey, and drama filled people definitly need not apply.

Music:
Probably the most diverse part of me....ready? First and foremost, I have a very broad knowledge and taste of music. I really like underground and old school hip hop/rap and R&B music (I love suprising people about how I know about this and that song when it doesn't look like I would know anything about it). I'm really into good R&B music (especially slow). I've been into drum and bass music/culture since '00 (and no, it's not "techno") and I pretty much revolve my life around it. I mostly like atmospheric/chill and downtempo/dubstep DnB (which is my favorite type of music, period) but I love and listen to every type of DnB ranging all the way up to the hard and dark stuff. Another form of music I really enjoy listening to is Mushroom Jazz, which is basically chill hip hop beats without lyrics. I also listen to break beats, trance, a tad (I do stress TAD) bit of country, "intelligent" rap, old school rap, funky jazz, funky house, hard house, and other forms of dance music. I'm a huge Tool fan. I'm into Hard rock and metal. I love rock that talks about life and about self being while being hard and not putting you to sleep. Any rock band with a kick ass drummer gets my respect (Matt McDonough *Mudvayne*, Lars Ulrich *Metallica*, Joey Jordison *Slipknot*, Danny Carey *Tool*, Chris Adler *Lamb of God* ect...). I'm definitly more into underground music rather than the crap you hear on the radio every five minutes.Some names that come to mind at the moment:
Marky, XRS, Calibre, Logistics, Nutone, Will Miles, Atlantic Connection, Basic Operations, Danny Byrd, Juju, Craze, High Contrast, Bungle, BCee, Lomax, Kubiks, David Carbone, Submorphics, Alix Perez, Young AX, Greg Packer, Eddy Woo, Seba, Paradox, Dara, Dieselboy, AK1200, Hive, Karl K., Kaos, Evol Intent, Ewun, Tech Itch, Teebee, Total Science, Dylan, Goldie, Ed Rush and Optical, DKay, Commix, Marcus Intalex, ST Files, DJ Switch, Lemon D, Simon Bassline Smith, Distorted Minds, Twisted Individual, Klute, LTJ Bukem, Makoto, Equinox, Alaska, Aquasky, Grooverider, Shy FX, Pendulum, Photek, D Bridge, Shapeshifter, Adam F, CLS & Wax, Prodigy, Lords of Acid, Praga Khan, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Kaskade, Deepest Blue, Andain, DJ Irene, Ian Van Dahl, Bad Bay Bill, DJ Tapout, Richard Humpty Vision, Icey, Crystal Method, Ecksman, Conrad, Skibadee.

Movies:
Napoleon Dynamite, Friday, Half Baked, 40y/o Virgin, Harlem Nights, Just Friends, South Park the Movie, Team America, Office Space, Jay and Silent Bob, Dogma, Harold and Kumars Adventure to White Castle, and other similar comedys. Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Boondock Saints, Saw I and II, Seven, etc... I also like Bumfights and other crude comedy DVD's, Jackass stuff, CKY2K stuff, ect... Other action flicks and dramas are cool as well.
Television:
I dont like to watch much TV at all, but when I briefly do its usually to catch the news, the weather, watch some music vids, or get a score on the game. I'm definitly not a video game freak. I also love to watch good stand up comedy like Dennis Leary, Dave Attell, Dave Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan, Dane Cook, ect... I think the newest addition to my short list of cool TV shows is Wild Out and Your Momma.
Books:
I have a ton of baseball books regarding fielding and hitting. I have alot of car magazines and repair manuals that I use as well (I do most of my car-related research via internet though).
Heroes:
Number one is definitly my grandfather (who passed away in '96, god bless his soul). He was as close as it came to a father figure in my life. My mom is also a hero of mine since she raised me by herself and was basically the only family I had and STILL have. Another would definitly be Tom Leykis.
