If the world is a book, those who do not travel read but one page. I enjoy having opportunities to experience new cultures. I feel that it broadens my perspective on life and helps me realize that there is ALWAYS something new. The primary interest, which is guiding my professional side is...TECHNOLOGY. Everyone uses it, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. My primary work involves technology, and I am studying towards a Bachelor's in the field. Technology is making the world a little smaller in a sense of communication. As the years go by, I am putting a bit more emphasis on my health. If I'm not taking care of myself, nobody else will. I like feeling in the best shape I've ever been in. It only took a Brazilian martial art to get me to focus on my well-being.
Translation...
Sí el mundo es un libro, los que no viajan leen solo una página. Lo que agarra mi atención es viajando, siendo un turista, disfrutando la vida en una nueva cultura. Saboreando nuevos platos de comida, teniendo la experiencia de uno estilo de vida totalmente diferente. Conociendo un lugar en mi corriente. El interés que guía mi lado profesional es...LA TECNOLOGÍA. Todos lo utilizan, y no parece que perderá velocidad. Mi trabajo primario implica la tecnología, y estoy estudiando hacia un bachierato en la profesión. La tecnología hace el mundo un poco más pequeño en el sentido de comunicación. Como los años pasan, pongo un poco más énfasis en mi salud. Si yo no me cuido, nadie más lo hará. Yo me siento en la mejor forma de salud en que he estado. Sólo tomó un arte marcial brasileña para centrarme en mi bienestar.
Music is good if it has substance, a beat, rhythm, and all the necessary components together to make my head bob. If it bumps all nice in my truck, chances are I'll like it. Otherwise, that GARBAGE is going out the window while I'm in the freeway!
Translation...
La música está buena si tiene sustancia, golpe, ritmo, y todos los componentes necesarios juntos para hacer las chicas que se meneen. Si suena chingona en mi Pat'finder, hay posibilidad que me caiga bién. ¡En otra manera, tiro esa BASURA de la ventana mientras estoy en la autopista!
There are so many movies that are KICKIN'!!! My favorites probably match the favorites of a lot of other people. The ones that I can watch more than thrice are Pirates of the Carribean, Bad Boys, Goodfellas, the Pixar collections...the list goes on.
¡Hay tantas películas que están cabronas..'!!! Mis favoritas emparejan probablemente las favoritas de muchas otras personas. Los que puedo mirar más de tres veces Ladrón Que Roba Ladrón, El Norte, Desperado, Apocalypto...la lista sigue y sigue.
¡¡¡Que Vivan Los Vatos Locos!!!
Television
I don't really have much time for television. Every now and then I watch sports. I have recently been spontaneously watching some shows on their DVD sets. Nip/Tuck is crazy. House is hella smart. The Fresh Prince is a classic. I own every single Southpark episode released thanks to Mr. Twig. Carlos Mencía is the fuckin' SHIT!!!! This is another broad subject for me.
Translation
Realmente, no tengo mucho tiempo para ver televisión. De vez en cuando veo deportes. Recientemente e visto unas series que están en colección de DVD. "Nip/Tuck" está completamente loca. "House" es muy inteligente. El Fresh Prince es un clasico. Tengo toda la serie de Southpark gracias a Mr. Twig. ¡¡¡Carlos Mencía está CABRÓN!!!! Esta es otra categoría variada para mi.

Heroes
Merriam-Webster's definition of a HERO -
Pronunciation: 'hir-(")O
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural heroes
Etymology: Latin heros, from Greek hErOs
1 a : a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability
b : an illustrious warrior
c : a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities
d : one that shows great courage
Now that THAT has been clarified...
-My mother. She had endured a lot, and she has always worked hard. I am doing my best to not let her efforts go to waste. Her most recent struggle came by way of a malignant tumor. She prayed, stayed strong, had surgery, and beat it. She's a blessing and a miracle.
-My brother. He's a great father, an excellent big brother, and an all-around great human BEAN (I know it's BEING!!)
-Anyone who respects me, and understands that life isn't easy. Things come into everyones' lives to strengthen them. At times it may seem like shit just ain't going right at all, but the experiences are the key to help one avoid making the same mistake twice. Being in the service isn't an easy life. There are numerous sacrifices in so many areas. I respect those who understand and support us. Those that betray us and undermine our sacrifices can GO TO HELL. Straight TO HELL...
-Being a sailor on board USS Decatur (DDG-73) we intercepted a dhow in the Persian Gulf smuggling about $13 million worth of hashish. The majority of the crew members of that dhow had direct ties to Al Qaeda. It was so satisfying to know that I was a part of a unit that helped keep funds from reaching terrorist entities. It is all worth it because I'm doing something to directly protect those I love. See for yourself
La definición de Merriam-Webster de un HEROE - La pronunciación: 'eh- (") O 'eh
La función: el nombre
La Forma declinada (Formas) () el plural héroes
La etimología: Latín héroes, de griego hEROES
1 un: una figura mitológica o legendaria a menudo de ascendencia divino dotado con gran fuerza o la habilidad
B: un guerrero ilustre
C: un hombre admirado por sus logros y calidades nobles
D: uno que muestra gran valor
Ahora que ESO ha sido clarificado...
-Mi madre. Ella ha aguantado mucho, y ella siempre ha trabajado duramente. Hago mi mejor no permitir que sus esfuerzos se malgasten. Su reciente lucha vino por la manera de un tumor maligno. Ella oró, se mantuvo fuerte, tuvo su sirugía, y triunfó. Ella es una bendición y un milagro.
-Mi hermano. ¡El es un gran padre, un hermano excelente, y un chapín muy orguyoso!
-Cualquiera que me respeta, y entiende que esta vida no es fácil. Cosas suceden en la vida para endurecernos. A veces puede parecer que niguna mierda salga bién, pero las experiencias son la llave para ayudar a uno mantener de hacer el mismo error otra vez. Estando en el servicio militar no es una vida fácil. Hay numerosos sacrificios en tantas áreas. Respeto a los que nos entienden y nos apollan. Esos que nos traicionan y socavan nuestros sacrificios PUEDEN IR AL INFIERNO. Directo AL INFIERNO.
-Siendo marinero en la nave USS Decatur (DDG-73) interceptamos un dau en el Golfo Pérsico que trató de pasar contrabanda calculada al precio de 13 millones de dólares de hachís. La mayoría de los miembros del dau tenían conecciones directas al Al Qaeda. Me trae mucha satisfacción sabiendo que fuí una parte de la armada que ayudó a cortar los fondos de alcanzar las entidades terroristas. Todos mis esfuerzos valen la pena porque hago algo directamente para proteger a mis ser queridos. Vea si mismo

You get frustrated easily, love to shout in Spanish, and are admired by all your friends!

So far, I have tracked through: Las Vegas, NV; Arches National Park, UT; Denver, CO; Lincoln and Omaha, NE; DeS MoineS, IA; and ending at Great Lakes, IL. Crossed the Colorado and the Mississippi. Also had a taste of Chicago. Of course, I've been hopscotchin' from country to country, and I ain't gonna stop. I've been to: Manama, Bahrain; Phuket, Thailand; Bali, Indonesia; Dili, East Timor; Guam; O'ahu, Hawai'i; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Sentosa, Singapore; Victoria, Seychelles; Darwin, Australia; Saipan; Portland, Oregon, Junited Stays; Victoria, Canada; Townsville, Australia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Muscat, Oman; Naples, Italy; The Vatican City; and Copan, Honduras.
Just check out my pictures, a'ight. I gots a hard drive full of pictures. That's right, I said "gots". Oh yeah, I have CIRCUMNAVIGATED the earth...twice. I recently returned from a haywire trip that let me experience The Forks, Maine; Portland, Maine; Boston, MA; Syracuse, NY; Granville, NY; Newport, RI; Philadelphia, PA; Washington DC; Baltimore, MD; Glen Burnie, MD; Patuxent River, MD; Norfolk, VA again; Jacksonville, FL; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Chaguaramas, Trinidad; Cartagena, Colombia; Panama City, Panama; and Manzanillo, Mexico.
Translation...
Bueno pues, nací en Guatemala, el país de la eterna primavera. Crecí en la ciudad de Hollywood en California, y e viajado más de lo que me ubiera imaginado.
Hasta este día, e tenido la oportunidad de pasar por las ciudades de: Las Vegas, Nevada; El parque nacional arcos en Utah; Denver, Colorado; Lincoln y Omaha, Nebraska; Des Moines (no se pronuncia la "s"), Iowa; y terminando en Great Lakes, Illinois. E crusado el río Colorado y el río Mississippi (Meisepipi). También e tenido un sabor de Chicago. Ni modo, e brincado de país a país, y seguramente no voy a parar pronto. E visitado: Manama, Bahréin; Phuket, Tailandia; Bali, Indonesia; Dili, Timor Oriental; Guam; O'ahu, Hawai'i; Puerto Vallarta, México; Sentosa, Singapur; Victoria, Seycheles; Darwin, Australia; Saipan; Victoria, Canadá; Townsville, Australia; Kuala Lumpur, Malasia; Mascate, Omán; Nápoles, Italia; La Cuidad del Vaticano; y Copán, Honduras.
Solo delen un vistazo a mis fotos. Tengo un chingo de fotos digitales. Es cierto, dije "un chingo". Ah sí, HE CIRCUNNAVEGADO la tierra...dos veces. ¡¡¡Ya tu SABES!!!! Regresé recientemente de un viaje loco que me permitió conocer The Forks, Maine; Portland, Maine; Boston, MA; Syracuse, NY; Granville, NY; Newport, RI; Philadelphia, PA; Washington DC; Baltimore, MD; Glen Burnie, MD; Patuxent River, MD; Norfolk, VA again; Jacksonville, FL; Santo Domingo, República Dominicana; Chaguaramas, Trinidad y Tobago; Cartagena, Colombia; Panamá, Panamá; y Manzanillo, México
You've Experienced 80% of Life
You have all of the life experience that most adults will ever get.
And unless you......'re already in your 40s, you're probably wise beyond your years.
Who I'd like to meet: I definitely like to meet individuals that try to better themselves. I try to stay clear of arrogant people because they THINK they are confident, but really have things mixed up. Regarding celebrities, I had the opportunity to meet LL Cool J (US Rap Artist). Also Maurice Greene (USA Track & Field Olympian) and Ato Boldon (Trinidad & Tobago Track & Field Olympian) during an invitational track meet at Mt. SAC. They signed my silver medal. I still got it. It's THE shit. There are a couple other celebs I'd like to chat with.
Translation...
Quiero definitivamente conocer individuos que tratan a mejorar sí mismos. Trato de permanecer lejos de personas arrogantes porque ellos PIENSAN que están seguros, pero tienen realmente maneras que solocausan problemas. Con respecto a celebridades, pues tuve la oportunidad de conocer a LL Cool J (Cantantte de Rap de los Estados Unidos). También a Maurice Greene (esprinter olímpico de los Estados Unidos) antes de que se hizo chingón y ganó las olimpiadas. También a Ato Boldon (esprinter olímpico de Trinidad y Tabago) durante unas competencias en el colegio de Mt. San Antonio. Los dos firmaron mi medalla de plata. Todavía la tengo. Está cabrona. Hay otras personas famosas que me gustarían conocer, o mejor dicho que me conozcan a mi...¡¡¡porque ya llegue - con ese ritmo que es picanté!!!
yeah i'm totally fine now. the puffy shot went away and they read it today, so everything's good. as for the fainting...guess i just need to eat more and keep my blood sugar up
I've wanted a black widow spider tattoo for a long time. I have a thing for spiders in general, but particularly black widows. I finally have a picture of exactly what I want, and now it's driving me crazy that I don't have the tattoo!
What's up Wilder? good to hear from you brother? Wow, so you've almost have set foot on all our continents, that's freaken awesome. I've only been to 2 continents, i need to freaken catch up man. Lifes been good with me man, just working and going out when i have a chance. i want to do some traveling this year, but it's just been kind of tough. I had plans to do Costa Rica and Puerto Rico and haven't gone to either one. When you coming down to LA? hit me up when you're down here so we can meet up and have a drink man. Be safe, talk to you soon.

I have to take my daughter to Sea World for her birthday next weekend. On August i will be at and Educators workshop at the Marine Camp. I did't think i would be going one month after another but is all good. Ok pues te cuidas y te portas bien.
