About Me

PLEASE NO FRIEND REQUESTS WITHOUT AN EMAIL FIRST. I DON'T ADD PEOPLE TO BOOST MY FRIEND COUNT. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SEND AN EMAIL FIRST. PEACE OUT!!This is always the hardest part. I'm a tall hispanic divorced father of two. A little shy at first but come out of my shell fairly quickly. Very quickly actually. I like sports, both playing and watching. Baseball, football, basketball, tennis, hockey, etc. I like to stay fit, and try...try to work out 3 times a week. I play league and tournament softball. I currently play drums in two bands now. One is for a Beatles/British Invasion cover band called The Day Trippers. My new band is called Brainchild. More of an alternative rock type of vibe. Its very interesting mostly because its music i normally don't listen to, much less played before. Should be fun, lots of hard work getting up to snuff.I'm a good friend. A good listener, with a great sense of humor. I don't sweat the small things, life is too short. Love to have fun with good friends.
