About Me

I like to watch movies, play video games,I'm a history nerd, guitar(I'm not that great but I love to play along to my fav's),I know that I was born and I know that I'll die, but the in between is mine...I love music, especailly when you get hit by the few seconds of nostalgia when I hear a great tune and in that brief moment I travel back in time and a smile comes across my face. Sometimes I ramble on...like now :)Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past." -Karl Marx

My Interests

Video games, Sports, Friends, School because I'm no fool.

I'd like to meet:

probably people....maybe an alien or two..not illegal ones, I know too many of those, just kidding! Mainly friends that I've lost contact with and the new ones that I make along the way.

Music:

Rock, classic rock, new wave, 80's, pop, spanish rock, spanish, hip-hop, and a crap load of other stuff.

Movies:

Kobe Bryant

There is no denying the limitless talent that Kobe Bryant possesses but his attitude is that of a 13 year old. Instead of sticking it out he has decided to run away and I say let him leave. The Laker ...

End of an Era

'The Sopranos' are over and it is indeed an end of an era. An end of an era because I rarely watch T.V. shows and it is safe to say that 'The Sopranos' was the only TV show that I followed since its i...
