hi. my name's miguel. i'm a biracial 26 year old male who lives in south minnepolis. i work in retail at the mall of america. :/ i'm the eldest of 3 boys raised by a single mother. i'm about 5'7", 135 lbs, drk brn hair and eyes. i enjoy art, music, movies, shopping, travel, video games.. i dunno. lots of stuff! i kinda fell out of my previous clique and find myself with few true blue comrades at present. making a couple new ones would be awesome! always up for chat &/or a coffee date! let's do it!

i'm still trying to figure out what i'm truly passionate about. i should be headed back to school here soon enough, in the meantime, i'm just trying to get by. i'd love to travel.. so i'm sort of saving for that but expenses are expensive. :P

ummm... i'm not sure. i'm a bit of a perfectionist and tend to be hyper critical of myself so i don't always realize i'm good at something until someone else praises me for it. i'm an exceptional procrastinator. that's a talent, right? :P

prolly my smile or my lovely caramel skin tone.. either that or my just general awesomeness

the last few books i read were all by david sedaris : when you are engulfed in flames me talk pretty one day & chuck palaniuk : snuff, rant, choke, invisible monsters, fight club, lullaby, diary. he can be a little graphic at times and things don't always actually make complete sense, but his characters and storylines are always interesting. i also read aldous huxley's brave new world and i enjoy a good fantasy novel like the neverending story, harry potter, wicked, twilight, naria, etc. i read a bit of manga as well.. tsubasa and it's crossover xxxholic are the only 2 i've been keeping up with lately tho. i heart CLAMP!

i don't know that i have a true favourite movie, but i rather enjoyed these: Little Miss Sunshine, V for Vendetta, Brick, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Brokeback Mountain, Amelie, Kill Bill, Run Lola Run, Donnie Darko, Half Nelson, the Science Of Sleep, Mysterious Skin, Teeth, Lars and the Real Girl, Be Kind Rewind, Labyrinth, Shaun Of the Dead, There Will Be Blood, the Squid & the Whale, Read Or Die, Adventureland, Lost in Translation, Elephant, Superstar, Rushmore, the Royal Tenenbaums, the Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, Hot Fuzz, No Country For Old Men, Saved, the Last King of Scotland, Atonement, the Happiness of the Katakuris, Sweeney Todd, the Nightmare Before Christmas, Fantasia, Hot Rod, Everything Is Illuminated, Juno, Milk, Savages, Zoolander.

T.V. should prolly go here too right? these are the shows i'm watching/most recently watched: 30 Rock, the Office, Parks & Recreation, American Dad, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Futurama, Heroes, Venture Bros, the Fashion Show (just cuz the new season of Runway is taking its sweet ass time to be released), Top Chef, Make Me A Supermodel, Ace Of Cakes, Good Eats, The Real Housewives of NYC, Dexter, the Tudors, Weeds, Chowder, Bleach, Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist, Frisky Dingo, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

i'm not so picky as far as food goes.. i usually only eat once or twice a day. i'm a terrible, terrible cook so most of the time it's either takeout or a frozen dinner for me. i like chinese, japanese, thai, italian & americana. usually stay away from red meat.. never ever eat pork (with the exception of a strip of bacon now and again). try my best to stay away from fast food as well. cherry garcia is prolly my fave ice cream and sour patch kids are my fave candy.

music, family, nintendo, clothes, my glasses/contacts, decent public transportation or a bike

what the future holds.. should i move far far away & start fresh? what'll i be when i grow up? how much longer till we have flying cars?

prolly working till 11pm. then riding the train to the bus home and then watching cartoons or something while i try to combat insomnia.

apparently i accidentally sometimes give people the evil eye. :( i really don't mean to do it. i think the combination of my ridiculous timidness, squinty eyes and high cheek bones just makes it look like i'm glaring or something when it's actually just my default facial expression. i'm really a nice enough guy once you get to know me.. a lil awkward at times but still quite nice.

also, i have a thing for gingers and blondes.. i'm not sure what it is about them that i'm soo attracted to. freckles perhaps? or maybe that they usually have green/blue/hazel eyes, all of which i heart big time.

you'd like.. i'm open to chat with pretty much anyone.
