I am here for Friends

About Me


I was born in Miami, Florida, but I have a number of places I consider home. I've lived in Southern California, went to college up at the University of Oregon, and lived in the BAY AREA in California. But now I've found my way back to Miami, where the majority of my family is... I've taken a bit from each of the places I've lived, and all have contributed in shaping who I am today.
My family is from Trinidad & Tobago, and I love visiting T&T whenever I can.
Oh yeah... and I've kinda got a thing for this one chick ;-)

My Interests

Sports (both competing and watching), Pac-10 football, the Oregon Ducks, video games, mixed martial arts, people watching, mullet watching, sipping Merlot while listening to good music, socializing, reading, making people burst out laughing, staying up late for no reason, working out, ninjas, hoodies (I practically LIVE in them), the O fam, windy nights, thunderstorms, ketchup, donkeys....

Me and A.T.

I'd like to meet:

I left some wonderful people in California/Oregon, and I don't really know anyone outside of family in South Florida anymore. I love meeting new people from all different sorts of backgrounds, and would love to meet people who can keep up w/ me ;)

Music:

I have a pretty diverse musical taste... Dancehall/Reggae, Hip-Hop, that BAY shit, R&B, Soca, some rock/alternative... I even have a smalllllll appreciation for a select few country songs (a side effect of living in OREGON for 4.2 years).
But I'm not a big fan of the generic shit the industry pumps out that sounds exactly like everything else, as well as the vast majority of the songs that top the Billboard charts.... unless I'm drunk and on a dancefloor

Movies:

Jim Carrey movies, movies directed by Stephen Spielberg, scary movies, comedies, anything by the Wayans Brothers, and anything that shows tits...

Television:

PTI, Beyond the Glory, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, The Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, South Park, Blind Date, nerdy channels like TLC, A&E, SciFi, and the History Channel.
"The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" is the greatest TV show ever made. "King of the Hill" is one of the most underrated shows on TV.

Books:

Catcher in the Rye, The Giver, Lord of the Flies

Heroes:

People who change the world for the better. Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi..
And of COURSE, my family, who is my foundation.

Random thoughts from a Floridian-turned-Californian-turned-Floridian

1.  South Floridians cannot drive for shit.  California definitely has its share of bad drivers, but the ones here are ridiculous.2.  It's nice to be able to go out any day of the week ...
