Wanna see me hold a peanut with my dimple?

About Me


Rafael. You're most like the ArchAngel of Healing.
You want people to shape up, and you nag. But
you mean well, and you're well loved despite
it. Or because of it. You bring the donuts
even as you tell people to eat more veggies.
Which ArchAngel are you most like?
brought to you by QuizillaHmmm....I hate filling these things out:o(, i just can't sum it up in 250 words. I just had my big 3-0!, currently serving Uncle Sam in San Diego being my last tour. I'm 5'7", 150 lbs, blk-haired, brwn-eyed mutt from Asia & America. I'm laid-back, friendly, nice and caring. I usually like to take care of someone else before myself. I probably should work on that. My friends and family have a huge part in my life. I hate drama, though sometimes i think it just seems to follow me everywhere. I usually try my best to avoid it. I usually learn in life by experience and meeting interesting people. Very selective on who i hang out since I know there's just too many peeps out there that need to evolve. I'm stubborn, smart, creative and down-to-earth. Basically these are just some of my qualities...just get with me if you'd like to know more.

My Interests

I love the ArTs, i love to draw, sketch & doodle. I love indies, be it music or film. I also love to dance, so whoever needs a dancing buddy, give me a buzz! I hate cigarettes and smoking, tho i tolerate heads who smoke. I love rollerblading, (but i can't find mine, from moving a million times!), workin out and running. I like to run my sorrows away! I have a passion for Underground Music especially Breaks and DNB. I've been listening to Downtempo a lot lately. Perhaps i'm just getting old. I got into freestyle wrestling though waiting to get better post surgery. I love the human heart, it's my source of income;o).--(damn, that sounded morbid!). I also like to be fit, work out and sweat a little bit. I love riding my bike (R6)! it's so much fun to be ONE with it. Hmm...i just know I don't have enough space here....but i'll leave that for you to ask. :o)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet cool, laid-back peeps, friends to share my laughs, tears, & whatever that comes in between. Someone who's got substance and a passion for life. I don't blend well with people who are stuck on themselves nor can't seem to carry a good conversation. I like intellects but not nerds, artistic but not "out-there" individuals, open-minded but not "whatever-goes" careless freaks. If you do not hold your own opinion about anything, we've got a problem. I like honesty than someone who's "trying to please" me. I'm not sure if these are too much to ask...but then again, there's a lot of people here:o).

Music:

BreAkS, D&B, Downtempo, HipHop, R&B, Pop, Rock... pretty much anything that's soothes my membrane;o).

Movies:

I dig Independent films...Sundance & IFC!!!!Action, Medievel, Sci-Fi, and a lil Drama...is cool too. Some of the ones i dig are...Underworld & Evolution, Europa,Europa, RENT, Four Brothers,the Departed, Crank, Brokeback Mountain, Angela's Ashes, Jarhead, Metrosexuality, Crash, Big Eden, Ethan Green, The Pursuit of Happynes, The Rules of Attraction, Garden State, Kungfu Hustle, The Notebook, Mean Girls, a lof of Gregg Araki's films...man, i can keep going;o).

Television:

I watch whatever...it has been a while tho. Here's some of the shows that i watch... ER, Real World, the Black Donnellys, Bravo, MTV, CNN, Spike TV, UFC, IFC, Sundance, FX, HBO, Showtime, TLC,i like The Loop ...uh oh, i sound like a tv addict(?)..w t f?
