Caffeinated Dreams was born after I took over a domain Lynne had back in 2003. It was called Beautiful Obsessions, but died soon afterwards because it expired (neither of us had any intention to continue it anyway). The name, “Caffeinated Dreams,” was thought up because I’m constantly jacked up on caffeine — Bawls, Jolt Cola, and of course Mountain Dew (Code Red) and many other beverages.

Its original purpose was to be a collective of my artwork (wallpapers, sketchings, etc). Since May of 2005, it became everything and anything I wanted it to be — a blog, which allows me to do whatever I want with it in an orderly fashion.

About Me

I was born on June 7th, 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona and lived out my early childhood there, until 3rd grade when I moved to Indianapolis, Indiana. I moved back to Phoenix at age 10 and didn’t leave until 19, when I left the country with the oppurtunity to move Europe, and lived in Copenhagen, Denmark for 2 and a half years. Now I’m back in Phoenix once again getting ready to restart classes.

I graduated in the Class of 2004 from Cortez High School in Phoenix; I began my freshmen year of college at Glendale Community College to get basic classes out of the way and start classes at the University of Advancing Technology, but got bored with that and left to continue with things of higher interest - Political Science/History along with Education to become a teacher.

I love traveling to foreign countries and learning different cultures, more than being a tourist. Looking at taking part in the JET Programme in the future and after I get my degrees.

Interests, Hobbies, Random Stuff.

  • I listen to most music, save for rap, hip-hop and country (there are a few exceptions). Favorite genres are Trance, Alternative, and Rock.
  • Favorite food is Mexican, followed by Italian.
  • Not a movie buff (so movie trivia doesn’t work most of the time!), but love movies, especially Sci-fi, fantasy, and asian.
  • I’m an avid gamer, I play mostly RPG’s/Playformers/Shooters (Legend of Dragoon, Star Ocean, Starfox 64, Ikaruga) and pretty much anything except for sport games. Platform of choice is the Playstation 2, followed by Gameboy[Advance and DS]. On PC I play AirRivals and Wolfenstein: Enemey Territory.
  • I muck around in The GIMP everyday, and originally learned graphic skills by using Adobe Photoshop, which I still use when I feel like it.
  • My computer runs on the FreeBSD OS, and my main desktop is KDE. When I feel for something different, I use Enlightenment or Fluxbox.
