About Me

MY IDOL IN LIFE RIGHT NOW.People call me vinnie, v-unit, eazy-v, the vin. i play bass & guitar, skateboard, skimboard, surf, and eat lemons. THATS RIGHT, I EAT ENTIRE LEMONS, PEEL AND ALL. i range from being a professional and a neat freak to being the embodiment of an insane asylum hopped up on herbal viagra. I am ridiculously adamant about a few things, and I will defend those things to my grave, including but not limited to: Apple Inc., BMW, Land Rover, Quiksilver, and Nike. I pretty much have felt out of place all my life, whether it be interests, hobbies, opinions, hell ANYthing at all, so i'm not really fazed with being the one that thinks different because its the people that tell me something is impossible or out of reach that are the ones who are truly afraid of change. thats how it goes. I'm down with the SF Giants, Oakland A's, NY Mets & Yankees,San Diego Padres, Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, and the Pittsburg Pirates. Blink-182 is the band that turned me from a dweeb to whatever i am now. Tony Hawk is my all time favorite skater, hands down. computers are my lifeblood and nothing less that Apple Computers will do the job. Steve Jobs is my favorite technology leader, while Bertrand Serlet is my idol for software engineering. energy drinks are great except on an empty stomach. My mood changes, i'm something one day and another the next.
