The World Thru My Eyes - I speak my mind and man does it like to talk.

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.

When I see you in my head, I see the early years of Tony Montana (Al Pacino-Scarface). Not the actual physical attributes or the crime, but the blatant observations which are usually hysterical.

That's all I got.


LOL, do you mean something like this?

All I see is more of the same blah blah crap. This is starting to be a predictable cycle with you. You have been here less than two years and you have pretty much run this circle three times now. At one point we really needed to get to know DJ. Earlier, you were leaving and that sure lasted a long time. Most recently, you were taking a break and here you are right back whining about how no one likes you.

There is only one problem with needy people. They are needy. You need everyone here to go along with you. You need LW to go along with you so bad you constantly goad her trying to grasp at any shred of attention she will throw your way.

I'd love to take the high road here and be all nice and sweet about getting to know you but frankly you've told us all this crap before. I know you already. You are an easy mark. You are the puppy that will take love or a good beating if only to feel something, anything at all.

I suggest you take a good look at your entire body of work here at JU (including the stuff you've dumped) and tell me I'm not right.

OK, I would suggest you do some research (as I have been told many times before) before you make statements you will be corrected on. My first article on JU was on Oct of 2005, youcan find it here:

http://djbandit.joeuser.com/article/89092/Hello_to_all_and_thanx_for_coming_to_my_first_blog

So that would put me 5 months shy of 3 years, which is more than 2 years BTW. If my writing bores you, try ignoring it. Something many here have advised me to do, including you. Both times I said I would take a break, not leave. The first time I took as long as I felt necessary, which was a little over a week. My choice not yours. The second time, I needed some time to get things together in my life, after a month I was doing ok and decided to come back. Again, my choice not user. This article is not about whining, it's about a little bit of me that some may not know I would wanted people to know just because I wanted to. If you couldn't care less then fine, don't. Your choice.

There is only one problem with needy people. They are needy. You need everyone here to go along with you. You need LW to go along with you so bad you constantly goad her trying to grasp at any shred of attention she will throw your way.


Talk about being easy. Did I upset you earlier? Is needing a bad thing? Funny, how some people get to decide what is bad and what is good at their leisure. Don't discount yourself as not being needy cause you "need" air to breath, you "need" a job to pay the bills, you "need" to comment on my article, you "need" to be heard. Sounds to me you are just as needy as any other person on this site, or this planet for that matter. Guess you are as much of a problem as I am.

I'd love to take the high road here and be all nice and sweet about getting to know you but frankly you've told us all this crap before. I know you already. You are an easy mark. You are the puppy that will take love or a good beating if only to feel something, anything at all.


If you say so but it seems that the one here looking for something is you. Talk about not being able to let go or move on, dragging comments from another article on to this one where even LW is being cool about it. I guess it takes a needy to know a needy, right?

I suggest you take a good look at your entire body of work here at JU (including the stuff you've dumped) and tell me I'm not right.


I need not to say whether you are right or wrong. I'm not the one looking to be correct here. I am who I am and things are the way they are. If you don't like it, oh well. I'm not one who goes around doing things and then saying "not me" or "you're a liar" when the proof is in the pudding. I have always admitted to my mistakes and when I believe in something I stick to it unless otherwise proved wrong.

BTW, I am fully aware that some of the stuff on this article I have written. I did it cause I wanted those who knew about me to know some more and those who didn't know me to get to know me, keep in mind I use to be DJBandit and not everyone knows that so in reality it's really none of your business what i write in my articles on my blog.

Thank you. I will work harder to make more interesting articles as oppose to ranting ones about myself, though I won't make any promises.

I was about to say me 'three' but that would not be correct!lol!  I liked the 80's too!  Although sometimes I look at pictures from that time I wonder what I was thinking with some of those clothes, hair, jewellery?  But they were some fun times!

Some of the stuff I knew about too Charles, nice to be re-introduced!

We have free refills in the lobby. You may wanna stack up on some nachos and gummi bears while you're at it. Considering my big mouth as of late, chances are this may go longer than The Lord Of the Rings.
