About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The same mission that its been everyday...try to take over the world!

ABOUT ME

Hello, My name is Miguel Gonzalez and I recently celebrated my 34th B day in Madrid, Spain where I'm presently residing. In general, I would consider myself a laid-back, easy-going individual. I can get along with almost all types of people. I have a good sense of humour and I am an intellectual.

PHILOSOPHY

I love meeting new people and reaffirming the idea that people all over this world are generally good, and want the same thing--to be happy.

Interests

I love to read, and write, and play guitar (though i never claimed to be a musician). I love to watch movies and documentaries. I love to travel, obviously, and participate in outdoor activities. I also like to keep up with current affairs, and I enjoy training in Jui-jitsu as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my current favorite movies include, the Royal Tenenbaums (and all of Wes Anderson's movies, or Robert Rodriguez) V for Vendetta, American Psycho, The Princess Bride, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Lion King, Pulp Fiction, etc..
I have an eclectic catalogue of music. But if I had to name some bands would have to say I like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, Yelloman, Manu Chao, Cut Chemist, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, etc.
Books: any John Steinbeck or Faulkner, or Sylvia Plath, I like a lot of books so I'll save myself the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked the the entire John Muir Trail in Yosemite National Park in California. 226 miles. And ascended the highest mountain, Mt. Whitney, in the mainland U.S.
It was a pretty cool experience.
