About Me
I am Christopher Patrick Partida; born April 18th, 1983; 2nd of 4 intelligent boys bred from Elizabeth and Michael Partida. I've graduated from college and currently do web/graphic design. I am slowly tiring of web design and enjoy graphic design much more. I like to take photos and dabble in various forms of fine arts, though like books, I rarely finish any of my projects. I love to travel, and spend time with my loved ones. I've seen 3 countries: including around 43 of the states. I have been fortunate in life, even though I've seen some rough times. I keep my head up and live life to it's fullest. I've recently started many collections; some that I had already, they include: small creatures, records, vinyl toys, playing cards, cigars, photobooth photos, matches/lighters, knives, bric-a-brac, t-shirts, tattoo paraphernalia/tattoos, Sailor Jerry rum bottles & many other things. I have an addictive personality, but not in any way that might harm me. I spend frequently, sometimes more than I should. I try to work enough to keep myself afloat; it gives me a sense of pride. I haven't purposely ordered ketchup/catsup on anything in over 2 years. I plain gave it up.

Favorite Books
- Back in 2003
- my friend called me while I was in Lake Tahoe during the week of Christmas and informed me that they had caught Sadahm Hussein
- he then went on to tell me that Sadahm's favorite book was the same as mine. That said
- Ernest Hemingway once wrote a confusing
- yet oddly amusing and erotic tale of a man and his struggle for self gratification
- he called this book Old man and the sea. To the unlearned person
- this was no literary movement
- it was a giant piece of wtf? I love it
- call me learn-ed. Hunter S. Thompson was more than most people think
- more than just a drug-crazed reporter. His writing spoke out against the criminal injustice
- and in favor of the common person. Animal Farm by George Orwell has always been a good read
- I need to look into his other works
- I hear 1984 is an eye opener. Miranda July has newly become a favorite author of mine. Her stories are so well written
- I can't help but enjoy them. Robert Kirkman is responsible for a lot of really great comics including The Walking Dead and INVINCIBLE. Check them out. I haven't been an adimate fan of reading books
- but great writers such as these
- I largely respect.
