I am Odd, Pensive, and Curious.
My Self-Summary
My name's Roger. I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice from FIU and I
work in a related field. I was born in Nicaragua, but was raised in
Miami from age 2. While I still love where I'm from, Miami (with
all it's faults) is home.
I'm a pretty laid back guy and haven't ever really concerned myself
with what others think of me. I'm a good guy and tend to get along
with everybody. I like to think that I'm funny, if a bit quirky.
I'm a good cook, if by cooking you mean that I can make a tasty
steak, chicken breast, or egg.
I've always been a big reader
Horror,
Sci-Fi, History, Crime, Espionage. I'm
apt to read just about anything except what's currently popular.
It'll take an act of god to get me to read a Harry Potter book;
nothing against him, just won't read the books at this time, that's
just how I roll. My favorite writers include William C. Dietz,
Terry Goodkind, Brian Lumley, Sergei Lukyanenko, Robert E. Howard,
J.R.R. Tolkien, and H.P. Lovecraft.
I'm a gamer (From NES to
Xbox 360) and always have been,
probably always will be. When life and work allow, you can find me
on any number of games on xbox live. If you want to go a few
rounds, send me a message.
I'm also sports fan (
Soccer,
Football,
MMA), and Rugby. Those are the sports I'll
play or watch. Any other sport I can take or leave, these are my
core.
I love music, I'll listen to almost anything, but I'd be lying if I
didn't say that my main interests lie in the metal realm.
Progressive metal, Death, Progressive Death, Black, Avant-Garde,
and Power are all part of my vast CD collection. I'm a head banger
who doesn't look the part. Lately, I've been getting into techno
due to the magic of Sirius radio. Dream Theater is is the greatest
band of all time.
Only my DVD collection rivals my CD collection. I'm a film buff. I
love it all, from Horror to Comedy and back. I'll happily watch
Night
of the Living Dead,
The Princess Bride, and
The
Godfather Trilogy back to back.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm living the dream. Doing what I've wanted to do since I was a
kid and having a good time doing it.
I’m really good at
Adapting to the situation. Pwning faces on my 360. Surprising
people just when they think they have me figured out. Paying
attention. Not being an ass.
The first things people usually notice about me
I have no idea. You tell me.

2. My Friends
3. My Job
4. My Dogs
5. That Special Someone
6. A Good Conversation
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The challenges ahead of me. Going home, feel free to ask about
this.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working all night and loving it.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
As much as I'd like to be able to plan ahead, I do almost
everything by the seat of my pants. I am incapable of simple
planning.
You should message me if
You want to.
