Friends, working on cars, racing, snakes and other reptiles, driving (I love to drive, it is very rewarding to me and relaxing), snowboarding, hockey, paintball, baseball, shooting pool, running, music, model railroading, trains, photography, WWII, backpacking, hiking, and camping. I also still play with legos..so get off me..I'm a kid at heart and love building shit, even if it is just a bunch of colored blocks. Between my girlfriend and I, we own about 50 snakes and 100 total animals. We have corn snakes, milk snakes, kingsnakes, gophersnakes, red tail boas, a woma python and 7 rattlesnakes.
Music
Godsmack, Static-X, Stonesour, Disturbed, Motley Crue, Coal Chamber, As I lay Dying, Fear Factory, Taproot, Flaw, Sevendust, Union Underground, From Zero, Drowning Pool, Evanescence, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Van Halen, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Kottonmouth Kings, Corporate Avenger, Prodigy, Offspring, Trapt, Zebrahead, Ricky Nelson, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Horton. I also like swing and big band.
Movies
Basically, I like almost any movie. Rated G up to rated X...i don't care..Some of the disney movies are down right funny so I like those and anyone who can't laugh at porn isn't human. But I mainly like comedys and action. War movies about WWII are my all time favorites but some other war movies are very good as well. I just have an overwhelming fascination with WWII and know a great deal about it.
Television
I don't watch a lot of tv anymore because I work nights..I dig the history channel and all their WW2 shows and Mail Call though and I try to catch It takes a theif, Inside Drag Racing, NHRA 2day, hockey games, and some baseball games..
Books
I actually like to read. But I'm not one for fiction. I like reading about real things. Be it a book about WWII, reptiles (especially snakes and especially about rattlesnakes), trains, or cars. I mean hey, you gotta have something to read while you are shedding like a boa right? But I constanly have magazines within easy reach and I like to expand my knowledge about subjects that catch my interest.
Heroes
my dad..he got delt a bad hand in 1987 but bounced back...I give him a lot of credit. And he has never compromised his integrity to get where he is. And definately my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2004 and ended up beating it. She never quit. Both my parents are a great inspiration to me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without them. My sister is definately a hero of mine. Anyone who could put up with me for so long and not have killed me by now definately has the traits of a great person and I look up to her a lot. Despite all the crap I have given her, and continue to give her, she has stood by me no matter what and I really appreciate it. I haven't shown that appreciation much but she has stayed by my side and gone to bat for me more times then I can count. Without her I probabaly wouldn't be here and I definately wouldn't be the positive person I am today. Thanks Kim, I love you and I owe you everything. I have under appreciated my entire family in the past and have spent the last several years making up for it. Though in the last year I think I have grown more then ever. My wife is also a hero of mine, she has faced so much adversity and never gave up. Shes a fighter that won't take shit from anyone and she has earned everything every step of the way. If you can't idolize someone like that then you seriously need to re-evalute yourself.
About me: My name is Kevin and I'm from southern california. First off, never change yourself for anyone but yourself. Life your life for you. Enjoy those around you while they are there and appreciate them for who they are. Never stop thinking, never stop learning, never stop enjoying life. Things may not always go as planned, but if you stick to it you will prevail. I'm a college graduate and graduated from the Rio Hondo Police Academy in 2005. I work at a machine shop in Yorba Linda making parts for Blackhawk helicopters, F-16's, F-18's, the F-22 Raptor, the new JSF, C-17's, the C-5 Galaxy all the Boeing 700 class aircraft including the 787 and other military and commercial aircraft. I'm still trying to get hired on as a police officer but life doesn't stop so I have to survive in the mean time. I live with the love of my life in our own house. I know what I want in life and I know how to get it. I have what is important to me and everything else is icing on the cake. It may sound sappy but my wife is the most important person in my life. She doesn't replace family or friends but completes me in ways I can't put into words. I'll say it right now, I'm an athiest. If you can't handle that then leave me alone. I don't care what religion you are, or what you think about me or who your god is. Don't pray for me, don't feel sorry for me, don't bother me with religion. I am comfortable with my choice and don't need saving. If you send me a message about god, or religion, or whatever, I will just delete it. I don't message you telling you how I'm sorry you follow god or religion so don't do that to me. I respect the role that religion plays in some peoples lives. I may not agree with it but I'm not going to run around trying to convert them to my way of thinking. Moving right along....I can take critisism and rejection but don't lie to me. I downright hate liars. Remember, karmas a bitch. If you're into drugs, don't bother me. This includes weed. If you seriously need that stuff to make yourself feel good or to relax, or whatever, you are mentally weak and a waste of oxygen. I love music, though a lot of people whouldn't call what I like music. But I could care less. I know what I like and thats all that matters. I've been told that my sense of humor is my meal ticket. I've honestly considered doing stand up but I dunno. I've also been called a smartass on many occasions. So take it for what it is. Lifes a big game and you might as well have fun with it. I just enjoy seeing people happy and laughing. Life is too short for everyone to be angry or feeling down all the time. I run a rattlesnake research and education program that educates people on them and I also do problem snake removals from people yards. I'm also involved with sport compact drag racing. Keep it on the track where it belongs and it is safe. As a side I love working on engines and do all of my own builds. I know my way around any car especially hondas. With the right tools you can do anything. I've pulled motors and trannies in the rain under an ez-up. I've scrambled at the last minute on more then one occasion. Give me a hoist and my tool box and I will have the motor out in under an hour. I know a lot but know I don't know everything. I owe a lot to my friend Ernie. That guy has helped me do more to my car then anyone and the poor guy hates it when I say, "alright dude, this is what we're doing next." But he is there everytime. If you want to talk to me, click the message button and say something wity.

Who I'd like to meet: I've met some pretty interesting people through the years. I cherish the friends I have and would die for them. Mysace is about popularity and I don't give a damn about that. I never have been popular and I like that. I'm not interested in status. I have a style that is my own. If I don't know you from school or through other friends you had damn well share some of my interests because I don't add every person that comes along. The first thing you should know is that you have to be able to take a joke. My friends and I are a bunch of smartass people. So if you can't take getting picked on then don't waste your time or ours.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.
This guy has got a lot of talent..and he's down right funny too
