In my nutshell: I... was born in Long Beach, CA, moved to San Juan Capistrano / San Clemente area in the 5th grade, eventually moved back to Long Beach when I was 19, where I lived from 1981 to 1990 - the "first boyfriend" period. I later moved to Santa Monica, then Hollywood, and then I moved to San Francisco where I lived from 1995 to 2000 in the Mission (24th and Hampshire... where "rocka" and "chiva" flowed in abundance right down the street). Shortly after, I woke up in LA$ VEGA$, my mission apparently to, ahem, straighten up my act, and also to help my mom take care of my grandma and grandpa. My grandma, Nini, died in 2001, so now my mom and I take care of my 87 year old grapdpa. I believe I have a good sense of humor, am somewhat eccentric (read kooky),
love life, love MUSIC, hate hypocrites, love SEX, love PORN (Scorpio has doomed me to it), I have a strong sense of justice and fairness, and love dancing to the point that "I'll dance for food" if unemployed.
I'm a "balanced" Scorpio...yeah right! Well, that's my Libra rising, which means I try to balance my excesses...some of the time, other times I'm obsessive about computers and just about anything else I'm into at the moment. Scorpio's are at their best when they're not balanced... if you know what I mean, wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
I love gadgets, computers and programming, people watching, odd ideas, philosophy, and truth. I'm not into small talk or small minds.
I love meeting new people that have not closed their minds to new ideas, that
are goofy, witty, and/or funny, and that help me to see different perspectives
in life, and that see the humor in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
"If there's one thing I like better than sucking cock, it's kicking ass!" -- from a GAY porno who's name I can't remember. So, if you can name the porno from which that phrase originates, YOU KNOW YOUR PORN. It's as simple as that.
A memento - snagged from a B.A.R.T. train (when I was living it) - San Francisco - 1996
