About Me

Growing, progressing. Forward thinker, talker, industrial strength BS'er. Earn people's trust, and then holding on to it for dear life! Unless I've got a strained leg muscle, I say 'yes' to any girl who asks to dance with me. I love hearing little kids say, "Uncle Marcel..." Trying to be the number 1 uncle in their hearts, and trying to buy my way into it - heh heh. Helping someone who leasts expects it. Receiving help from when I least expect it. Laughing over the stupidest things. Taking pictures of people in 'their' moment. When getting lost is the destination, and someone from Rio asks where I'm going. Then I say, "Trying to get lost." He points towards a direction and says, "Get lost there. Good luck!" Finding a new me. Dreaming about flying. Tripping, laughing about it, and hoping someone got a kick out of it, because I'd hate to hurt myself in vain. Applying my knowledge, trying to remove that 'potential' from my resume - learning in vain is just as bad. Laughing with my brother, gossiping with my mom, and hitting on girls with my dad.

My Interests

Building an empire, helping those that are most unfortunate, and keeping a promise to that 7 year old kid.

I'd like to meet:

Classy ladies with intellect like: Maria Bartiromo. Ladies with a sense of adventure so my niece has someone to look up to, like Lisa Ling. Girls that can stop guys in their tracks by the way they command a room.People who feel like that they can change the world by starting with themselves.Those with substance, modern Renaissance Men & Women, modern nomads, and those with a lesson to teach, and a lesson to learn.Also: Rove McManus, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and...

Music:

Ecclectic tastes. Anything that sounds great in my car. Salsa, House, syncapated beat, wicked percussion rhythms like salsa bands' timbales solo (timbaleros). Dancing like I don't give a F**K!

Movies:

Love the way how watching Harry Potter makes me feel like a kid again, going into an indy film not knowing what the heck it is about, watching a movie with the theatre all to yourself, hearing kids laugh at a PG movie, still dig that old THX intro way back when, living vicariously through other characters' movies, being educated and entertained.

Television:

Charger/Padre games, non-fiction channels like History Channel, REAL news, American Idol - thanks to fantasy AI. Yes, it exists!

Books:

Non-fiction stuff that geeks and dorks like.

Heroes:

Batman over Superman - those who have vulnerabilities and depth in character. Those who have achieved a lot and started from scratch. And I don't mean this monetarily.

Firing a Client

Ok, so a client's employee who thinks she's the sh!t pulls me into her office to disrespect me and talk to me like I'm a 5 year old. How condescending, I know! So instead of making excuses...

Single Guys

Ok, single guys... I've met some of you and some of you haven't seen "Swingers". What's the deal with that? Watch it, learn from it, take notes, and buy the screenplay sold via paperback t...

"Me Against the World"

OK, so I had this friend who at one point in his life came to me and said, "It's me against the world." What people don't realize with this bitter statement is that once you say this, you've alr...

True Love

Read something just now... so true. I wish I wrote this: ' True love is rare. That's why it's called "love" and not "really like" or "settling." And why we don't say: "Im settling for you, hone...

Marcel on the Simplicities and derived Satisfactions

I am half naked. I finally zip up after looking at the coast, then at the waves, and I can't help by feel as though I look like a seal when I don a wet suit. Perhaps a shark would find me as a tasty...

The Purpose of My Space/Friendster

What is the purpose of this online party that is My Space? I've often thought that it is a way to vent, a way to release a piece of you in the chaotic sea that is the Internet. Rather, I believe it ...
