life

For the Ultimate Survey click here.

My life began on the 25th day of April of 1982 at approximately 10:00pm. My childhood was very short-lived because to be honest with you, I don't remember much of it. I do remember basic things like the first school I attended in my native country of Mexico, friends, family members and a few adventures that took place in the land of the hot sun and beaches.

After my junior high experience, I attended Fairfax High School which I graduated from as part of the Class of 2000. Fairfax was a great experience for me because I learned about life and the reality of it. I matured over the years and I thank many people for that, and as I learned from my mistakes I eventually overcame the obstacles that came my way along the years. As they say, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

I graduated on June 22nd, 2000 with the rest of my peers. Some were friends from way back in elementary and junior high, but many of them didn't make it to that day in June. I wish I could have been appreciated by the many people I helped out at the 'Fax, but for reasons unknown to me I received nothing for my overall outstanding achievements. Life isn't fair, but who said it was?

I won't complain. After all, I believe that there is not a piece of paper that can identify everything that I did at Fairfax with my computer, technical and journalism skills.

I achieved great recognition, however, for two consecutive years in the Who's Who Among American High School Students editions of 1999 and 2000.

I began to work at the age of 16 and I still am to this day. I started off at a local fast food joint, then moved on to Sales Associate for Natural Wonders, and I am now working on several projects in the e-commerce industry with people in and out of the Internet business.

What I am a big fan of (must mention) is the World Wrestling Federation. For eleven years (and counting) I've been a big fan of the industry. Beginning with Tatanka, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Rock, The Undertaker, to Y2J.

I also love to draw, or at least I used to draw, but still do every once in a while. It's a natural talent of mine, and I think it was passed on to me by my geological father since he was an artist of his own.

I have two younger brothers, one older sister and a lovely nephew who happens to be the biggest Rock fan I've ever met!

I began making and designing web pages on my WebTV terminal back in ' 96. I worked with Adobe Photoshop under the great Dick Heiser at the 'Fax for 3 years. I still work with Photoshop to this day and I've improved.

What program do I use to build these pages? Good question... because I actually don't use any of the non-sense software programs like PageMill or Composer. I build these from scratch on Microsft Notepad.

My dream job would be to be employed by a major 'dot com' company like PeopleSupport.com, and The Loop.

I love music, and not only one genre, but many. My favorite type of music is heavy metal. For now I am working with a local Hollywood band by the name of RaKiT who play industrial metal. These guys are great and I believe that these guys will make it big very soon.

Some of my favorite bands include Metallica, Pantera, Type-O-Negative, Slayer and others. I think my long-time bud Matt got me into this type of music.

I also play the drums under the great Scott Maxson and my friend, Jabari who in my opinion is the best 'drum filler' ever known.

When I was a kid, and for th love of the wrestling world, my dream had always been to become a pro-wrestler. That changed after many influences in life disencouraged me because of my height. I regret giving up on that dream, though now I've developped new skills that will be beneficial to my future. Computers, for instance, is the field I want to get in right now. Now that I look at the Federation, I realize that I'm not the only small person, and Crash Holly is my hero in that aspect. He's small, and doesn't weigh four hundred pounds, and he is the best Hardcore champ there's ever been!

Maybe someday I will indeed make it into the Federation ranks to lace up my boots. The Federation is a place that I love and will continue to watch simply because once you grow up with something, it's very hard to let go.

Some of my many hobbies outside the computer screen include: basketball, bowling, backyard wrestling, sketching, paint-ball, and watching movies. Yes, I'm a movie guy also. I love action/drama films and one of my favorites has been a film with Michael Douglas in A Perfect Murder. If you want to talk about comedy films, I'd say American Pie fits well, and for sci-fi films I go with T2: Judgment Day. One of the worse films I've ever been forced to watch would be the Wizard of Oz. That film needs to go! If you talk about horror movies, there's always the classic Elm Street Nightmares, but, just this year I happened to be shocked by a PG-13 movie with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeifer in What Lies Beneath.

Beneath all this, I'm also a Napster user. VIVA NAPSTER! (Metallica sold out!)

High school graduation was a very special day for me, despite receiving no thanks or awards for my many achievements, many of my friends cried that day and I saw it with my own eyes. After the ceremony, I went over to the reception where I was determined to play the drums for just one more time. I wanted to play For Whom The Bell Tolls but instead ended up playing classics like Louie Louie, Painted Black, Creep, and many others. This was the 3rd show I played in. I began playing the drums early in 2000, and as I eventually got better and better I played more. My first show was in the auditorium, the (Spring Concert) along with the school choir, where I played the bongos. This concert was a big show for our instructor, and things were wrecked that night because first of all, our bass player never showed up as we found out the following day that she had forgotten all about it. Anyway, Maxson was so nervous that he felt something was going to go wrong. Everything was going fine until his guitar strap broke and the guitar fell to the ground. Luckily, we had two guitar players that night.

My 2nd show was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel where I played a reprise version of Louie Louie. We had an audience that danced to our tunes, and an audience that was asking for more as well. Maxson played guitar and the vibes. It was an upsetting day for me there for a few things that happened to me. I want to leave that behind me, though.

Then, of course, my third and last show was at the graduation reception as we (the band) provided free musical entertainment to my fellow graduates and parents. I surprised many people because they did not know I played the drums. I believe that day was the best damn day I've ever played the drums so well!

Playing the drums is more than what the word fun can describe, and I am open for invitations on playing the drums at any show. I have to thank my instructor, Maxson, for being so patient and letting me play in all those three shows. I still play the drums to this day, though I wish I had a better drumset. I just haven't played in front of a live audience since grad day. I would do it again if I was given a chance. Check out the pictures though, I think you'll like them.

If you'd like to find me online sometime, I can be reached through AOL Instant Messenger by the screen name of AgentN6.

Thanks go to all my friends (I cannot name everyone) and everyone in my family.
