No, I am not gonna give details here of myself that may prone a stalker to find me and maybe even try to kill me. But considering most here know very little about me, I would like to talk about myself a bit here.
I was born and raised in New Jersey and am of Puerto Rican background. I have always considered myself an American first, Puerto Rican second. I love my country and have always been proud to be American (even though being Puerto Rican would have still made me an American). I was lucky enough to learn both English and Spanish at the same time without the accent some acquire while learning a second language later on.
I’m a fun loving father, of 2 great boys, who enjoys good company but does not like drinking alcohol as part of the gathering except maybe for an important celebration such as New Years Day or maybe reaching a goal, yet I have limits. I never married the mother of my children, the reasons are many, but we have accepted out status and are happy with it. My parents never married either, I wonder if it runs in the family (maybe I’ll elaborate some more in the comments. As some may already know, I am also a chatterbox. I admit it’s hard for me to be quiet and I tend to overtake conversations. Sometimes a conversation between me and others becomes a unilateral talk of me saying everything and the others either listening or looking for a way to escape without being rude (LOL). One of my main topics to talk to people is technology; while I don’t post much on JU about technology (that will change though), I enjoy talking to people about the latest in this and that. I read a lot about the newest in computer technology, problems with existing technology and how to do something new that the gadget or hardware was not really meant for. I do, however, have a problem finding people who to talk to about this kind of stuff. Not a lot of techies in my family and I don’t exactly have a lot of friends either. Sad but true, I always figured my stay-at-home mentality combined with my lack of taste for alcohol, my non-stop talking problem and my personality play a big part in my list of friends being very short.
My favorite car is the 69’ Chevy Camaro Convertible. Oh how I dream of owning one someday. Maybe even do the rebuilding myself, though I am not much of a mechanic for a guy. And now my dream has been surpassed by not only having my favorite car brought back to life but also given a more modern look which I love. The new 2009 Chevy Camaro (as seen on the Transformers movie, sported by BumbleBee) is everything I love in a 69 Camaro with all the latest in today’s technology. I believe I will reach my dream someday, it’s one of my many goals in life.
Some here already know, I am a big fan on the 80’s. Everything from the music (Huey Lewis and the News, Madonna, Bad English), to the movies (Back to the Future Trilogy, Footloose, Howard the Duck) to the fashions. I loved how women looked in the 80’s (well most anyways). Ever had a crush on an 80’s movie star? I had it bad for Winona Rider. I thought she was hot. I eventually turned my focus on a Rachael Leigh Cook and Christina Ricci. God, these women are so beautiful. J Oddly enough I never saw these women till the 90’s but I’m not picky. J The 80’s were a great time for me. A time to be young and free of problems, a time when technology began to make big strides, sad to say I never really got to enjoy most of it because we moved to Puerto Rico in the 80’s and technology was not something common in my small little town. But they were still great years.
Today I still enjoy the 80’s. My music collection is everything I can dream of. Movies are at my finger tips with Blockbuster online and Netflix. And rumor has it the 80’s are coming back. Who knows? I would love to see women dress like that again. Back then they left a little bit more to the imagination.
Well, there’s a lot more about me but I don’t want to bore you any more than I already have.
