About Me
I was told by girls that men's profiles are lame, unimaginative, with the same old cliches they've read a hundred times before. So I've put some effort and careful thoughts to draw a fair picture of me. It's not an attempt to be cocky, but simply how I see myself; quirky, a little strange, and perhaps too nerdy for my own good.
Therefore, if you're the kind of girl who would take the red pill over the blue pill, READ ON....
I was born in Brazil, came to the US for university, and stayed for the good engineering jobs.
I lip sing to Barry White, play air guitar, and call Magic 102.7FM to ask for "Secret Agent Man" by Jonny Rivers so I can sing in the car on my way to work.
I love NPR so much, I listen during the pledge drive, and I have the "This American Life" app in the bottom row of my IPhone. I'm a regular contributor, but haven't won the free iPad yet (have you?).
I have a folding kayak (yes, such a thing exists) that use to go around Key Biscayne on the weekends.
Sometimes I wear a speedo to swim laps in the pool, but I'm not the "speedo guy" from Europe!
I own the only bamboo road bike in Miami. If you see anybody trying to sell one, call the police immediately. They are dealing in stolen property!
A few strange stories about my life:
My parents once lost me in Copacabana beach. I was only 3. They found me 4 miles from home next to the ice-cream truck.
When I was a child I set my birthday table on fire. Total accident I swear... Who could foresee that lighting candy wrappers on the cake candles would set off a flame some three feet high. Fortunately the party clown was quick on his feet. He grabbed a garbage bin full of water, threw it on the fire, and extinguished the blaze. The whole thing lasted less than a minute, but I managed to ruin the cake, put a black mark on the ceiling, and scared the hell out of the other kids. My cousin said it was the best party he'd ever been to.
In the mid 90s my family moved to Holland. They put me in ESL because I didn't speak a word of English and couldn't even ask to use the bathroom. My teachers refer to my first weeks there as, "the quiet period". After I learned to string a few words, they couldn't shut me up.
I first ate Nutella on a camping trip in 6th grade. A kid my age had a jar and was spreading the stuff on a slice of bread. I stuck my finger in the jar and licked it. It was love at first taste; by the time the next meal came around I had the jar cleaned.
I trespassed into Machu Picchu in the dead of night under a full moon so I could see the ruins and avoid the crowds. I wandered around for hours until the crack of dawn. When I tried to sneak out, I saw two park rangers walking toward me. I panicked, ducked into a cave on the farm terraces adjacent to the main square, and held my breath in fear that I would be arrested. I got lucky, they never saw me, and the night pictures were so worth it.
In Iquitos I was robbed by a pick pocketing red faced monkey whom took my lens cap and squirreled up a tree. I pleaded with him to not throw it in the river, which he soon did after realizing it wasn't worth eating. Remind me to whip his... next time I see him.
When I first came to the US, two things impressed me most; the immense size of of the cars, and free soda refills you get in any fast food joint. Seriously, who could possibly drink that much soda in one sitting?
I took casino style salsa classes at the university of Miami gym. I flunked every level at least once. When I passed the advanced class my *** not have been more proud.
What kind of woman am I looking for? Well, I only ask for basics. You must walk on water, cook awesome food, and give me back rubs on demand... You know, basic stuff...
