So, um, fellow boriblogger Rafi Torres tagged me in his 7 Things You May Not Know About Me meme post. I really dislike "forced" memes and never participate in stuff like this. I will comply because... well, because Rafi has made me laugh too much on Twitter, because I'm trying to be a good citizen of the twitter/boriblogger community and because I told myself to do things differently this year. I will however not tag anyone else because I like to see grown memes die. Yes, I am insensitive and charming! ;-)
Here goes nothing:
- Perhaps because of my upbringing I have lived a rather sterile life. I've never gotten drunk into unconsciousness, never smoked a cigarette. I have never been imprisoned and I rode a police car once because my cousin, a policeman, was driving it. I've only been out of Puerto Rico once. I've never done no drugs. I've never been disloyal to my wife or paid for a prostitute. All this "correctness" sometimes grates on me.
- I remember the last time I confessed to a priest. It was the day before my wedding. I told the priest in no uncertain terms that I did not believe in god. The priest absolved me, but gave me no penitence. Perhaps he knew it would have been moot.
- For those of you who've only known me on Twitter: I am not bold and funny. In real life I am shy, serious, and downright boring. However, if I get to know you and trust you then maybe maybe I'll be different...
- Also for the people on twitter: I do not believe any of the good things I say about myself. I don't think I'm smart or intelligent, confident or capable, not even humble and certainly not brave.
- I always buy the cheapest clothes possible. I know that clothes make the man. But I have no idea how to make myself look better, so I don't even try.
- I am a somewhat well controlled (digital) packrat. I have thousands of comic books. Hundreds of books. Almost every mainstream video game console made and all the video games I have ever bought. I have hundreds of thousands of Japanese AV and gravure idol pictures. I have gigs of digitized video, pictures, books, music, games and whathaveyou... Just. Like. All. Of. You!
- I used to go fishing with my dad at Isla de Cabras... For all the whinnying I do about my father I have to say we did spend some good times together. I remember always falling asleep on the way home while listening to Quique y Tomás... And that's all I gots to say about that...
And there you have it. Seven things that, perhaps, you didn't know about me. Seven true things. And for being true they are absolutely boring and uninteresting, the same as my life. That's why I tend to "enhance" the truth when I write on my blog... To try and make it interesting.
Now excuse me while I go get high, steal a cop car, fuck some whores and knock off some gas stations!
