I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a wandering soul in the midst of many. An exquisite mix of smooth and creatitivity, not cocky but on the contrary, humble. I am always thankful to the creator for life, for my family, and my friends. I am a couch potato with a heart for adventure, and a whiner with no reason to whine. I search the world for answers with no methodology and look for peace with mere philosophies, always looking for change. One of my hands is lifted in the air in a fist while the other is holding a briefcase. I strategize against the powers that be, yet I strive to understand them. My mind is both open and closed, but my heart leads the way. I am selfish, yet giving when I feel the cause is just. I am Chicano, I am proud, I am Rudy.
