«ABOUT»

I was born in Mexico on March 17, 1983, Cuernavaca, Morelos.  When I was six I moved to the states for the first time and lived in Seattle for 4 years, and then one more year in Ohio.  In 1995 I moved back to Mexico for two more years and came back to the states once more in 1997.  Since then I've attended Southview High Skool since my freshman year, and I will graduate in 2001.  

I discovered football when I moved to Mexico once again in 1995, because at the time I had wanted to play hockey but it's hard to play there when there are almost no ice rinks available !  Nevertheless I was influenced by the fascinating footballistic culture and soon I was playing wherever I could, at parks, streets or fields with my friends.  Anything we could find became a ball and anything we could use as goals we did.  From cans to socks, we played and almost never missed a day.  I had the opportunity to play with some of the most talented guys that I one day hope to see on my national team.  I had to admit that I sucked at first and I had to play as goalie, but even in that position I improved and would dive and rush and do whatever I could to stop it from going into my goal.  Later though, I learned to play as forward and also midfield, and that is where I am at now.  

My Junior year at Southview was the best.  I met so many people and made so many friends.  I knew people in every class and I had a great time.  It was my last year with my best senior friends, Francisco and Michelle, and they made it great for me.  Francisco did great on the Varsity soccer team, and I hope to see him play when he attends college at Kent.  Francisco was like a brother to me throughout his years at Southview and was there always when I needed him.  Michelle influenced both of us with her reggae-crazy ways, and touched us with her kindness and warm heart.  If it weren't for her, I probably would have never loosened up so much.  Thanks guys, and I wish you the best.  Cuídate vato !!! :0)  

One of the greatest things also happened to me this year:  I discovered reggae, and most importantly, BOB MARLEY, thanks to my friend Michelle. His music astounded me from the beginning.  It is spiritual, meaningful, and delivers the truth.  Every word he sings is incredible and draws your attention.  Bob speaks from the soul.  His music is going to live forever.  Other good reggae groups or singers are Steel Pulse, Sizzlah, Sister Carol, Buju Banton,P Peter Tosh, Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Yami Bolo, etc.  I would post some of their music, but I would be in a lot of deep sh*t so I would rather not.  Other things I like are also graphics design, and I will be posting some of my artwork and maybe you can drop me an e-mail tell me what you think.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this site and come back regularly as I will try to get things moving and post some interesting information.  :0)
