My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I dunno. I just signed up here 'coz arlene told me to. Pero quisiera conocer cualquier hispanohablante quien está dispuesto a conversar con un gringo tonto. And of course I always enjoying meeting like-minded geeks.

Music:

Metallica, Counting Crows, Life of Agony, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Candlebox, Mother Love Bone, Dead Prez, Public Enemy, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, etc. But these days I mainly listen to Mexican music. I really like "Ojalá Que Te Mueras" by Pesado.

Movies:

Mononoke Hime, Vampire Hunter D, Grave of the Fireflies, etc. Also the Lord of the Rings movies, X-Men and Spider-man movies, the Star Wars movies (all of them, as sad as that is), Historias minimas, A Clockwork Orange, Buddy Boy, Buffalo '66, Requiem for a Dream, Last Life in the Universe, 2046, Palindromes, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Dr. Strangelove, Head-On, Another Day in Paradise, etc.
