Born and raised in California.  Polish, Russian, Dutch, and Mexican descent.  Migraine sufferer.  Drum 'n' bass DJ, producer, and promoter.  Mountain biker.  Former soldier.  Lived in Europe for awhile.  Soccer player.  Shit-talker.  Music snob.  Love gossip.   Love to read.  Too many interests to concentrate on sometimes.  Beer and wine lover, and only Jaegermeister for liquor.  Skates longboards.  A work in progress.

I miss the beach.  I miss the friends and family still behind in California.  I am going back there someday, hopefully within the next few years, once school's finished.  Parts of Texas have grown on me, but I still would never or could never claim this state as my home.  Once I entertained the idea of moving back to Europe or even to some place like Philly or Seattle but have since realized CA is where my heart is. 

I absolutely love music.  It has been the one constant love of my life other than family.  I will give anything a listen once, or maybe a couple of more times, depending on how persuasive it is.  The styles I'm really feeling at the moment (in no particular order of coolness): grime, ghettotech, Bmore (bounce, baile), metal, minimal house, anything involving electro, drum 'n' bass, dubstep, raggacore, jungle, well-executed hip-hop, roots reggae, and indie/lo-fi stuff.

I am in <3 with: Brazilian Girls, Stereolab, Ladytron, LCD Soundsystem, Diplo, M.I.A., Bebel Gilberto, Lisa Shaw, Slipknot, Pantera, Lady Sovereign, The Streets, Dizzee Rascal, Seneca, Tittsworth, Drop the Lime, DJ Godfather, DJ Marky, Klute, Calibre, Die, Potential Bad Boy, Bong-Ra, Skream, Keith P, Kozee, Strife, and so many others.

Sometimes I am a very stereotypical Gemini.  I don't like to be tied down against my will.  I see different sides to the same question.  I will go to places and be completely happy to talk to all 834 people there or not at all.  I don't necessarily like to be categorized.  I am at times, a social chameleon.  At times I bite off more than I can chew but for some reason, go back for more.  I like the self-imposed challenges I impose...on..my, um, self.  I always have my fingers in a lot of different projects: sometimes reading 2-3 books at a time, working on tunes, plans for world-domination, new ideas for ice cream flavors, marketing approaches for pornography, color schemes for my car, etc.  I consider myself there for people however I can and whenever.  I don't like forgetting people and I don't like to be forgotten.

I am on myspace fairly frequently, or at the very least, once a day.
