Occupation: Dotcommer on the downswing of the economy (bleh!), Advertising & Marketing Specialist; Part-time-wishing-to-be-Full-time Endorphin Junkie
Hobbies & Interests: skydiving, wingsuits, BASE jumping, riding my CBR 600RR, roadracing, street luging, freeflying, balloon jumps, sprint karts, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, ice riding, scuba diving, jacking my knees up snowboarding, skiboarding, horseback riding, sailing, fencing, trying to get better at surfing, hiking to exit points and out of landing areas, traveling, getting lost a lot, BASE jumping, living, breathing, and generally feeling alive, jumping off and out of crap, extreme-golf, road trips (any and all kinds), piano, tattoos, plastic surgery, painting in oils, attending the ballet/opera/performing arts, going to art galleries, fine dining, traveling, antiques. Oh yeah, did I mention I like BASE jumping?
Music: Dance/Techno/Electronic (especially when I drive or ride), Alternative, Classical (Baroque, violin, cello and Solo Piano), Opera, Angry Girl music, Salsa, Tango, or whatever I feel like that day. I really want to learn to Tango. Then after I learn, I will dance to Astor Piazzola’s Finale (Tango Apasionado) in the streets of Buenos Aires in the pouring rain, and then in the fog of Paris for the hell of it.
Movies: Boondock Saints, Original Sin, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Princess Bride, The Notebook, Lucky Number Slevin, Whipped, Good Luck Chuck, Apocalypse Now (the surfing scene is awesome), Army of Darkness, Midnight Run, 28 Days Later, Children of Men; anything end of the world, doomsday-ish. Especially death-by-virus movies, psychological thrillers, tragic love stories…
Television: Favorite TV show: Dexter; and pretty much any documentaries about skydiving, wingsuits, BASE, street luging, sharks, the ocean, the end of the world, super volcanoes, black holes, etc. on Discovery HD. But, I am more of a movie person anyway.
Books: I don’t have time to read much conventional print anymore. On an airplane that I intend to conventionally exit, you will always find Scientific American, Popular Science and Discover magazines in my carry-on. And since I fly a lot, I don’t miss a month.
Heroes: Anyone who can overcome obstacles and live life without regret. People who have overcome, or who have not overcome, cancer and other terminal illnesses. Those who have faced more pain than I can imagine and choose to remain living and continue to help others. Jacqueline Saburido. Those who give their time and energy to travel and help those less fortunate. Teachers.
