25 things... ME some ME

So you know how on Facebook everyone is making one of these?? Well I dont wanna post mine on Facebook. I dont want people who I know that I dont care about to read it. Just perfect strangers and my close friends. But I still think they're fun so Ill make mine.

1. I love my brother Ricky more than any other person in my life. My parents are a close second. I think they would be happy to read this.

2. My brother and I have a song, Live Forever by Oasis. The lyrics are too meaningful to us:

"Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I dont want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just dont believe
MAYBE YOU'RE THE SAME AS ME
WE SEE THINGS THEY'LL NEVER SEE
YOU AND I ARE GONNA LIVE FOREVER"

3. Ive known English since I can remember. Ive always sucked at it... no shit.

4. I have extraordinarily good skills to remember things. I will remember everything that you can about things we've done.

5. I have an addiction, chips... jalapeño chips.

6. I watch an average of four movies per week at home. Mostly on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.

7. I used to listen to 96.7 and watch MTV on a daily basis during Middle School. My favorite songs were singles released by Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Savage Garden, Third Eye Blind... who fuckin knows. I had REALLY SHITTY taste in music back then.

8. I listened to What's The Story Morning Glory for the first time in my life on my freshmen year of HS (Sept. 1999) on a soccer trip in Dallas. It changed my musical taste forever, not to mention my life.

9. I went to my first concert when I saw The Strokes at the Austin Music Hall on November 17th, 2002 and it changed my life forever. I had never been to a "real" concert in my life until that day and it became my favorite hobby to this day.

10. I know who will be my best man on my wedding (if I ever get married), Kurt Huerta. Sorry bro, sorry everyone else. The spot is taken.

11. I've only truly liked three girls in my life. One was a waste of time, the other turned out to be a hypocrite and the third has yet to disappoint me. #4?? BE HERE NOW

12. I have two other "siblings." My cousin Gerardo and Paola. We grew up together for thirteen years of my life and I am VERY close to them even though I only see them for one week in the year.

13. I moved to Austin, Texas on February 10th, 1997. This means that August 14th, 2009 will be the day when I have lived EXACTLY half my life in Mexico and HALF my life in USA.

14. I sleep with the music on. I normally set it on 30 sleep mins at night. I think I've heard Coldplay- Parachutes more times asleep than awake. Also, during my naps on the afternoon I blast the music so loud that I normally have dreams about the music I was listening to. Then I go back to listen to some songs I had never heard on my itunes.

15. If I could choose someone to look like I wouldn't hesitate and say I want to look like Fernando Torres. Not to mention, I wanna play futbol like Fernando Torres.

16. I don't like Mexican beer that much, I rather have European beer.

16 1/2. The Administrations still lives!!! I don't care what anyone else says. We are just in a recession due to the economy.

17. I grab my shirt (right where my chest is) more times than what I blink in a day.

18. I make a funny noise when I think I've said something awkward or funny. It sounds so natural and its so short and silent that people don't even notice it.

19. Everytime I play sports and we get numbered jerseys I ALWAYS have to be #9. But my favorite number is 27. I still don't know why.

20. I was born in Texas but I consider myself more Mexican than American.

21. I have a VERY mild case of OCD. Everything has to be aligned, perfect angles, if I step over a line with my right foot I have to step over the next one with the left foot to make it even. The most annoying one is the stairs, if there is an odd number of stairs I have to go back to walk and step with the one foot that I have step up/down the stairs the least with. People don't notice this things about me but I live with them on a daily basis. My shower is a routine: towel on rack, teeth, piss, shampoo, soap, conditioner, dry myself, stand up next to my tv and watch it for like 3 mins, get online, go back into the bathroom and change into my pijamas or whatever. I probably missed something there but I would notice if I took a shower. FUCKIN anxieties.

22. Im an observer. When I go downtown or to parties or any public places I love to sit or stand by myself alone and observe at the idiotic behaviors of human beings (not saying that I don't do them though). I do like to observe these behaviors and comment them with other people when theyre happening though.

23. The only thing I like about the cold weather is the fact that I can wear "cool" clothes. Besides that, I freaking hate the cold.

24. My biggest fear about my future is that I will be a conformist like my father. Second biggest fear is that I will be bald. I think I am FUCKED there though.

25. I like to be repetitive so people can identify me when I am not around and they won't forget me. For example, I always have the same haircut... looks almost the same when its long or short. I remember one time a friend wore a wig for a certain disco party and people were asking him if he was wearing a Jesus wig. I also will get random texts from people when they drink Stella because I speak so highly of it. When Oasis plays on the radio people will call me. I havent been able to establish an original smell though and its driving me crazy because it is the most important sense of memory since smell stimulates the memory's brain cells blablablabla or something like that.


Your's truly,
Mr. Perfect Stranger
