I am here for Friends

About Me

Still having fun after all these years... or at least trying! I'm the always-busy vp of GET HIP RECORDINGS and manager of one of the best bands ever, THE CYNICS. If I have time between those 2 and another million little things I get myself involved with, I like watching movies of the indie sort and specially Spanish ones, reading books (specially Esmeralda Santiago, Arturo Perez-Reverte and other Spanish and American contempary and classic), hanging out with my friends (most of which I don't stay in touch with as much as I'd like to 'cause I hate the phone) and dancing! though this is something I'm not doing much these days (sic).

My Interests

music-always music, photography, books, movies and most of all travel!

I'd like to meet:

Likeminded people from far away lands!

Music:

A LOT of things because music is my life: Garage, Pop, jazz vocalists, 50s R&B, Punk and R&R and anything in between!

Movies:

I love movies though I hardly have time nowadays to watch as many as I'd like to.

Television:

Jeopardy, some Food Network, Law and Order (yeah cliche I know but it gets my mind off things when I need to), and I don't know I don't care a whole lot to follow TV but end up watching an hour or so every day.

Books:

Classic literature, Spanish, French and American and I read all of them in their original versions. New authors like Arturo Perez-Reverte, Esmeralda Santiago, Carlos Fuentes etc etc

My Blog

no blog, blog!

I feel dumb about starting a "series" (see 1 and only blog) and stopping after Vol. 1... well, my excuse is... ah, I have no excuse. Sure I'm busy, oh yeah but I could find time if I wanted to. Not su...
