Telling the world about myself scares me because I feel vulnerable. But what the hell, its time for change so here I go: I have a beautiful sister and two adoring and supporting parents. They have a dog named cookie. I learned to play guitar when I was 16 and I’m still learning. Dropped out of community college after a year to pursue a band that broke up shortly after. I’ve been to lots of countries and gotten drunk there. I have light brown hair and dark brown eyes. My face is filled with imperfections that (I think) give me character. I love the crackling of vinyl hitting the needle. My ego gets bruised easily, but I bounce back quickly. I’m very confident but can be very timid. I played High School basketball and won most valuable player my 11th grade year. I would rather regret the decisions I have made than regret the ones I did not make. I hate needles. I don’t have any tattoos. I love coffee even though I don’t drink it as much anymore. Green Tea is my new friend. I despise drugs! I smoke cigarettes more than I would like to admit. I bite my cuticles. I’m constantly fidgiding because of all my nervous energy. I feel as I’m going to die every day. I write songs daily even though I never put them to music and then I just forget them. I’ve been known to drink a full pint of Early Times whiskey in one gulp. I have a great sense of humor. I am comfortable with myself and I know what I stand for. I’m very easy going. I prefer to text message than talk on the phone. I love rock'n'roll in every shape or form it comes in. I would love to write a book about a man scared to write a book. I love to read even though time hasn’t allowed much of it lately. I talk to myself quite often. I’m in love with being in love. It's amazing how much pain one person can get used to. I have small droopy eyes and a big nose. I love a good laugh over many drinks with my friends. I used to be able to slam dunk on a full size basketball court. I used to be in very good shape... once. I’ve been told I can be stubborn. My crooked teeth remain to be the bane of my existence. I can count the people I trust in one hand. I prefer emotion to logic. Some of the music that I have created can be found in porn. Woman who wear glasses are sexy. I like meeting strangers. I love to sleep even though I suffer from insomnia. I over analyze things into oblivion. I saw my best friend die in a drive by shooting when I was 16. As a teenager, I had long hair that came to the middle of my back. I want to be a pilot even though I’m scared of heights. A song I translated was performed on the Conan O’Brien show by... someone else. I’ve never had a speeding ticket. I love Stella and many other imported beers. I love eating re-fried beens and vegetables. But not together. I like to cuddle. I always feel as if there isn’t enough hours in the day even though I’m not doing a damn thing when I make that comment. Dirty Jokes are funny. I’ve peed in the pool before. I miss somebody right now! I used to be a great dancer….lol. I’m a momentary artist. I have a deviated septum. A belly on a woman is sexy. I tend to replay certain situations in my head and imagine myself saying or doing something else. It's better to be alone than in bad company. As a kid I had a coin and basketball card collection. I wish I knew how to play the piano. I don’t really like candy or sweets. I cried to almost every episode of the Wonder Years. I blink with almost every photo I take. Hot Dogs with bacon (como en la calle) are my guilty pleasure. Jealousy is nobody's friend. Hanging out in bookstores is cool. Great conversation over too many cigarettes is the best. Art for art sake will be the death of me. I love to laugh and make others laugh. Tickle fights are amazing, especially with the one you love. I don’t like being lied to or disrespected. I’m not scared to punch someone in the nose for it either, men only of course. I go after what I want. I’m a Libra... whatever that means. Addicted to film noir, B-movies and independent features. I’m a sucker for a love story. Cried more the 5th time I saw Titanic than the 1st. And not to mention The Notebook, something about old people in love stories. I'm confident with my strengths and not ashamed of my weaknesses. I love fancy dinners, even though I can't afford them anymore. Slow dancing in my living room by candle light. Trios and rancheras are beautiful. I love Red Wine. A woman that can cook is a woman to keep. Playing drums on the steering wheel while stuck in traffic. I make the sign of the cross before I go to bed every night. My sister and I know all the lyrics to ‘Mentirosa’ by Mellow Man Ace and have recorded ourselves singing it, many many years ago… I’m a very passionate person and that seems to scare people sometimes. Spanish is my first language….Growing up I felt as if I wasn't me.----------------------------------- There. I've just undressed. Now it's your turn...-----------------------------------------------------
