CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out where to go to next!

ABOUT ME

You know those random, hippie-esque people that dance in the park? I admire those people. They don't care about what other people think of them. They just do it because it feels good. I want to be like that. I want to live life without a care of what people think of me; I want to challenge the norm. Not only that, I love to dance; I want to feel the rhythm and vibrations that the music creates. I want to feel it rush up my spine and rush out the ends of the finger tips.

I hate the word "fabulous". It only makes you sound insecure and pretentious. When I hear somebody say, "I'm fabulous", it translates to, "I hate the person I am, and I want to be somebody else."...and that's just annoying.

I've been told by several different people, who had met me for the first time, that I have a very "welcoming" aura. People seem to always talk about my aura. I have no idea what it means, but it makes me glad that it's positive. In my opinion though, I'm a laid-back type of guy who likes to have as many experiences as possible. I'm extremely adventurous. I'm always looking for my new adventure; whether that be in a forest, in the middle of the crazy action of a busy city or even just fishing. If you ever meet me, you'll probably realize I'm the most absent-minded person you've ever met. I'm always losing things. This is just one of the many reasons I'm very easy to make fun of; my friends are always cracking jokes on my behalf...but I love it. There's nothing more satisfying then seeing my friends/family laugh or smile.

I'm one of those type of guys that doesn't like to waste his time and wonder if he should take a risk or not because I think life is too short. I know that sounds cliche, but it really is. Before I don't take a risk, I always ask myself "Will I regret this later?"...Usually, the answer is yes...so I go ahead and take the jump.

I like everything from the outdoors to goin to bars; occasionally, cutting a rug (this means dancing). I also like to express myself through music and photography.

I'm actually a self-proclaimed dork, but hey...I like myself. I've been told I have a "Type A" personality; it may be true. I also recently self-diagnosed myself with A.D.D. I need to sleep with white noise; I usually have a fan just so I can hear the sound. I'm happiest when I'm in nature. I sleep with more than 5 pillows. I'm a lost romantic. I LOVE JACKETS! I find beauty in almost everything I see (American Beauty makes too much sense to me). Adaptation is my favorite movie. I love when I can relate to people. Fuck grammar. I have a very diverse group of friends, and I love it. I want to see the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge before it's gone. "Sometimes, I feel like a nut. Sometimes I don't." Natural Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is amazing. All I want to do is be a Toys R Us Kid. I'm extremely random. I use to be insecure with taking off my shirt, but I think I've evolved to be comfortable with myself. I love the smell of the air before it rains. I think I believe in ghosts. I love my God. Voices and some accents are definately a turn-on. Pickled Chips are fucking amazing. Those fandango commercials are gay. I've directed some crappy short movies. I HATE people who are obsessed with money. I HATE people who only think of themselves. Money is temporary; when we die, we want those who we love around us, not our possessions. I want to have kids one day. Speaking of food, Wing Stop has the best fries. I've recently discovered a Wing Stop in Hollywood, and I'm uber stoked. I'm a crazed Dr. Pepper lover. You will win my heart by buying me a CD by an artist that I like. I have the best parents in the world. I taught myself how to be "potty-trained". I taught my older brother how to ride a two wheel bike (that's a bicycle). Ninja Turtles are still fucking awesome. COWABUNGA BABY! I like to have my own style. I want to learn to break dance. I may be a Ninja. I admit, I use to watch the Care Bears. Friends and Family are the most important thing to me. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in "Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences". I lived in Jersey for two years. I now reside in SoCal. It's like, totally rad, dude!

I'm obsessed with genealogy. I only know so much about my family history tree; going only back to my great grandparents. My last name is a mystery and I plan on making a documentary following my tree back to Mexico and Spain. I'm also obsessed with other people's last names and where they are from and where their family is from. Be sure to tell me your last name when you try to get to know me...

I want to one day have enough money to donate to poor people. I have a billion things I want to accomplish before I die. When i was younger, I was the extremely shy. I HATE conceited people. Confindence is good. I can play the trumpet. I'm a good dancer. I think I can sing. Don't get on my bad side, you'll most likely stay there. I want to travel the world.
