About me:

I'm a managing editor at a local publication, and though it has been a learning experience, I'm chomping at the bit to get out there and conquer more. I'm not into soft writing. I like it hard and fast and pungent. Same with most of my tastes, really. It's not that I can't get sentimental, but you've got to sell me on it first.

I'm fired up on:

Cocaine. No, really: Politics - don't talk to me about it, please. My father. Lack of education and the emphasis on what we call education in America currently, which leads back to politics, again. And then there's the usual stuff - stupid people, bad drivers, etc. - But I love good writing, good alcohol, good friends and good times. I also am a sucker for efficiency and cute girls in pigtails.

Tunes I rock out to:

Good music. Classic Rock and roll... jeez, how do you answer that one? Hmm... I'm into good music, but not saying I'm into good music and meaning that I like a bunch of indie bullshit that distinguishes me from production-line crap. Does that make sense?

Travel style:

Wing it with some preparation. I think that adventure is the key, and too much planning can ruin just about anything. Having said that, I forgo dark allies South African tour guides might lead me down.

Quote:

"You don't have to nominate me or give me my props, because dammit, I love this."
and
"I rock and roll from my heart and let my soul blow, and don't worry about what a man thinks he knows, y'know."
Trick Daddy and 8Ball, respectively

Sports I do:

Gym, Soccer, maybe yoga

Favorite artist(s):

Music artists, Francis Bacon, Gaugin

Favorite books:

Peace Like a River, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Someone genuine with original thought and who is not boring

I want to make a difference by:

Being myself and allowing that to rule my life and thus contributing to the idea that it's ok to cut your own wake.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Some Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I'm scared for my life or where I am. When I don't feel like I can just go to my hotel or make a phone call to get home.

Why I travel:

To live life. To experience and to grow.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

After having a life-altering week of partying, adventure and self-realization in Thailand, high in a tree.

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

See above

Before I die I'd like to:

Do some of the aforementioned, write the great American novel, have a ranch and work on my own classic cars (65 Chevelle, please) and house with my own two hands, and have a bunch of dogs and a woman whom with I feel at rest.

Let's collaborate:

I'm a burgeoning writer who learns more everyday. Critics of my work argue that I'm sappy or borderline maudlin, but I like writing to bite, to have punch, and therefore I feel it has to feel-has to move.

My links:

www.tintalatina.net That's the company I currently work for. Other than that, I'd have to recommend Tim Ferriss' book, the four-hour work week, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to live life to the fullest, for it is rapidly becoming my new bible. Actually, I take my earlier comment back- I'd like to meet Tim, just to shake his hand-and to meet him-he seems like a cool guy.

I'm liking this site already, but I'm tired of sitting cross-legged in front of this desktop, but Matador won't let me skip this step fo some reason, so here it goes. Today's travel adventure: Today I needed to get my car fixed. See, it's a 93 BMW 318is and its got some years on it (obviously). But it's...
