Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

A few more words that describe me (three just aren't enough):

Eclectic
Malleable
Pensive
Loyal
Awkward
Geeky
Kind
Logical
Play-Doh
Tamarindo
...and the list goes on.

My friends would probably say that I'm too nice at times, and I'd consider myself being empathetic to a fault. I sometimes come across as a pseudo-intellectual, but I'm really not. I do have a knack for the arts: drawing, painting, singing, playing guitar, and I'm bilingual (English/Spanish). One of my goals is to learn another language (possibly Italian or French) within the next five years. My head can sometimes be in the clouds, but I'm more of a down-to-earth kind of guy. I'd consider myself as less of a dreamer and more of a doer. As time goes on I think the hopelessly romantic side of me shrinks just a bit more on account of the "if you don't use it, you lose it" rule.

I've always been laid back and able to go with the flow, for the most part, and appreciate people who can do the same. I'm more of a calculated risk taker, if there is such a thing, but if it's a good idea I'm up for it. As an adult, I've gotten a chance to be more appreciative of the outdoors, but I'm just as fond of being a homebody and taking a lazy day to lounge around the house and relax. I tend to be the one that friends come to when they need someone to lend them an ear.

Now, I've always taken pride of being a pretty fast learner or being able to figure things out (sooner or later), but one thing that I've never been able to wrap my head around (and more than likely never will) is the female psyche. What gives?!

I haven't had much leisure time as of late, but I can burn it up fairly quickly watching TV, on the internet or rocking out to a quick game of Guitar Hero or Rock Band (among others...). I'm attempting to read more for pleasure, but failing miserably because of my lack of free time. Lately, I've taken up jogging, but I'm really looking for someone with sub-par tennis skills with whom to play.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Right now I'm working a full time job in the IT Department for Oklahoma State University along with a part time job as a Sales Clerk/Account Rep. for the American Coupon Company...and going to school. Oh, and I'm in the process of moving. Yes, my schedule is a bit hectic, but so far I've managed to make enough time for (almost) everything.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

1) Stupid Human Tricks
2) Drawing/Painting
3) Singing
4) Videogames
5) Logic puzzles

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I've gotten compliments on my eyes & eyebrows before... so maybe that? Also, I used to be a stick figure of a guy, but I've put on some weight over the last couple of years, so that's not as noticeable anymore.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Books: Un Grito Desesperado, Angels and Demons, The DaVinci Code, Demons Don't Dream, Ficciones, (works in progress: Cien Años de Soledad, Don Quijote de la Mancha, The Lord of the Rings trilogy)

Movies: Forrest Gump, Amores Perros, Shawshank Redemption, Shrek, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Pan's Labyrinth, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Matrix, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Bourne trilogy

TV: The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, Heroes, My Name Is Earl, The Office

Music: I grew up with 90's grunge & alt. rock, but since then I've found something rewarding in just about every other genre of music, including hip hop, rap, and even some country (my least fave genre). It really just depends on the mood that I'm in. I also thoroughly enjoy oldies in Spanish, mostly boleros and rancheras: Vicente Fernandez, Javier Solis, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, etc.

Food: Mexican, Italian, Chinese... I'll pretty much eat any type of cuisine though.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

My future. My family. My future family. What I'll be doing in 5 years... in 10 years... When I'll have time to go back to painting or practicing guitar. Lately, I haven't really had much time to think.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

It could be a number of things:
1) Lounging around
2) Wasting time on the internet
3) Playing some random game
4) Watching a movie or DVR
5) Playing guitar (or Rock Band!!)
6) Hanging out with friends
7) Doing some home improvements (or at least planning on it)

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

All through high school I was a total nerd (mostly math & science)... and proud of it! Oh, and that I was a closet videogame geek growing up (I still am, to a certain extent). I also learned early on that being the valedictorian of your high school class isn't that great of an accomplishment if:

A) There were less than 100 people in your graduating class.

And...

2) You graduated from a public high school in southern Oklahoma.

You should message me if Propose an edit

...you feel the need to do so? I am not the boss of you. You can do what you want!

I suppose I could go with the clichéd "if we share any similar interests"... but that's not necessarily true. I have a plenty of friends with whom I'm total opposites, and we get along splendidly.
