About Me:
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil I spent my formative years idyllically ditching school in an effort to refine my football skills and eating candy off the floor in order to bolster my immune system. On my tenth birthday, I boarded a plane on the way to Foster City, California, never to look back again. Within the year, I learned the native language and proceeded to lose my first and last spelling bee on the word 'Berkeley.' Ding. Damned be the silent E. The irony of that moment would not reveal itself until years later when I would attend UC Berkeley, but I digress. I began my political career early as the first student body president of the new Foster City School, continued it onto Bowditch Middle School, and peaked at San Mateo High School wherein I would beat out Alicia Silverstone for Freshman Class President. [Alicia, if you're reading this, please know that this was merely a manifestation of my crush on you, much like the pony-tail tugs of the playground days. I am more than willing to make it up to you with dinner under the city lights at The Standard, and, if you play your cards right, a scented-oil back massage by candlelight. Just promise to take it easy near my left scapula--old rollerhockey injury...] All the hand-shaking and baby-kissing resulted in my induction into Yearbook Hall-of-fame as 'Most Likely To Succeed'---though after thorough investigation, one would realize I was more deserving of the title 'Most Athletic Class Clown.' Survived Cal B-E-R-K-E-L-E-Y through the discovery of rowing. Managed to get out four years later with a degree in biology and a bout of tuberculosis. Was promptly recruited by Los Angeles Unified School District to mold the impressionable minds of high school students. Two years, and 300 brainwashings later, I disappointedly tell the kids that the comet is not going to pass our little planet within our lifetime and decide put down the chalk and hang up my erasers. That summer, I began working on a TV show called CSI...

Train for fun and then he hits me back
with one of the sweetest paragraphs
I've ever read about myself. Now, I do
not feel that I must write another
testimonial because Alex is expecting
it, but because Alex is one of the
coolest cats I've ever met and since
he's let all friendsters read about my
awesomeness, I want friendsters to read
about his suave style (thank you for
throwing out your 20 million year-old
shoes). I can't believe I was lucky
enough to have Alex as one of my first
friends in LA. He's really taken care
of me and helped me soooo much with my
adjustment and doesn't expect
compensation of any sort. With unique
experiences from his past (such as
growing up in Brazil), an open mind,
smarts and of course, good looks, Alex
has something worthwhile to add to
every conversation. Talk to him. Now.
walk back to Unit 3 after San Diego
Crew Classic, and once he did that, I
knew he was a true gentleman. He also
picked up a gum wrapper that I dropped
and threw it away before I had the
chance to. It's the little things, man.
He probably doesn't even remember any
of this; it's all second nature to him.
He's also pretty damn funny. And very
open-minded.
makes me wanna talk like a homeboy. The
thing that impressed me most when I
first met Alex was that he could read.
The second thing that most impressed me
was that he didn't move his lips while
he did it. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
(Man, I wish I had made it past the
second grade). Alex will be famous
someday. And not like, killed someone
famous, or got caught with a really,
really ugly hooker famous, but famous
like the way black people say it, which
means more. NO!!!! Sorry, jumped into a
Zoolander quote. I mean famous, like
he's gonna make a huge impact on the
world with his charisma, brains and
devilish good looks. He's also one of
the warmest, most genuine people I know
and I'm glad to have met him.
that I will leak onto the internet,
unless a briefcase full of unmarked
Milk Bones are delivered to my
doorstep. You know where I live.
