I am wanted, dead, and /or alive.
My Self-Summary
I'm extremely laid-back but still driven. I just hate drama. I
cook. I can make a dish and pair it perfectly with a wine.
Awesome.
Also, I just noticed that in all of my pictures it looks like my
left eye is kind of wonky. I promise you I'm symmetrical, but I
suppose that's what happens when you only smirk with the left side
of your face. I have a perpetual smirk; it ranges from "smug" to
"shit-eating."
Now in Latin
Ego sum mercator. In vino veritas est. Eheu, Clemens est mortus.
Now in Spanish
Soy crudo. Yo tengo un gato en mis pantalones. Soy una socialista.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm the sports editor for the Valencia Community College Voice.
After just one semester, it's opened so many doors and given me so
many experiences I couldn't have imagined back in August.
Of course, that's part of the process of (finally) getting my
degree.
I used to say I'd like to get paid to do what I do, but that's
finally happened! I just got a check for $500 from
BleacherReport.com!
I’m really good at
Writing. Bar trivia. Jeopardy!. Sentence fragments.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes? I mean, I hate to say "You tell me," but nobody's ever
said "Shit, you've got awesome calves." (my calves are crap, this
is probably why)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I prefer
scary
movies and books to more light-hearted fare. I recently
finished "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemingway as well as "Johnny Got
His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. "Hey Rube" by HST is in my personal top
5 for books.
"The Shining" would definitely be my #1 All-Time Favorite Movie
Ever. I don't care where I have to be, if I find it on TV, I'm not
moving until that last slow-zoom shot of New Year's 1927.
I listen to a lot of classic rock since pretty much anything
recorded after 1996 is terrible, with a slim few exceptions. My
favorite band is Pink Floyd, and I say that without having had a
joint in over 5 years. Lately I've been listening to a lot of
blues.
Aside from new culinary experiences, I love curry (Anmal Cuisine is
the best), fish & chips, and Buffalo wings. A real healthy
regimen, to be sure. Lately I've started cooking for myself. Now,
probably 85% of my meals are made by me, which is cool.
And TV: Metalocalypse,
Dexter, Deadwood, House,
Lost, Rome, and the Sopranos (R.I.P.,
Tony).
The six things I could never do without
Good music, a good meal, a good time, a good book, a DVD player,
toilet paper.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The seemingly inevitable collapse of print journalism and my
decision to enter into same at this point. Seriously, newspapers
are crashing and burning to give the Hindenberg a run for The
Humanity.
On a typical Friday night I am
Covering a UCF sport that is not football.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My first CD was Michael Jackson's "Dangerous." My first tape was
Kriss Kross' "Totally Krossed Out."
You should message me if
You can tell me the title of Kriss Kross' follow-up to "Totally
Krossed Out." If you can name the follow-up to the follow-up, I'll
be seriously impressed.
