Hi there! Some quick background information about me. I attend classes at night and work during the day. I'm a junior at the University of Texas at San Antonio and am working on attaining dual degrees in Information Systems and Infrastructu​re Assurance. During the day I substitute teach at my old high school. I temporarily taught a small Computer Science class over the course of five months.

My dad was in the Air Force and when he was stationed at an air base near Madrid, Spain, I was born. Unfortunatel​y I spent only six weeks there, but I still have my dual citizenship and wish to visit Spain sometime again (perhaps after I've improved my Spanish?). I then spent a year in El Paso, Texas and have spent the rest of my life in San Antonio. Occasionally​ I'll go on up to the Champaign/Ur​bana area around Illinois to visit my parents, run around corn fields and take in the Radon.

I've traveled to various states across the United States on family vacations and spent Spring Break 2007 driving around the southwestern​ United States. I've had some of the most fun by simply driving and watching the sun set and hours later, rise! I've been to Italy on two occasions and got lost when I was 5 and thanks to some older Italian women, an awesome Italian policeman and some mysterious Spanish woman, I was reunited with my family.

And yes, I do have sideburns. Other than making it a fun conversation​al piece with my students, I'm growing it for a nerdier reason than you might expect. ;)

I'm wishing to contact people either locally or globally. I want to expand my horizons and wish to learn more about the people that I share this world with. Have a good life? A bad life? A common life filled with work and/or school day in and out? Got a fun story? A sad one? One that is too real (or unreal) to have occurred? Is it 3 AM where you are and you don't know why you are still up?  Have anything you wish to talk about? If so, then feel free to share?

Mi espanol es muy malo pero quiero hablar, escribir y estudiar espanol mas.

People (what is it that makes us tick?), computers (technology in general), running, teaching, anime, manga, various types of music, and different systems (forms of governments,​ school systems, etc), watching movies with friends (a hobby of sorts) and playing video games. I'm also pretty good at getting distracted. :D

It changes quite often, but as of now:
BT
Bruce Hornsby
Danny Elfman
Freezepop
Oingo Boingo
Unkle

And some favorites now and then:
Electric Light Orchestra
Enigma
Paul Oakenfold
Pet Shop Boys

And any epic sounding movie soundtrack created by an orchestra.

It varies quite often. I have to say that I don't have any one movie in particular that I must absolutely see. I watch a vast array of movies... action, adventure, drama, even the occasional romantic one and documentarie​s. I'm huge on documentarie​s.

Aqua Teenage Hunger Force
Code Geass
Frisky Dingo
Frontline (An excellent documentary series)
House
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia​
Metalocalyps​e
Robot Chicken
Shin Chan
Squidbillies​
The Venture Brothers

Chronicles of Narnia, It Doesn't Take a Hero, The Autobiograph​y of Chuck Yeager, Welcome to the N.H.K. and whatever else I'm reading.
