Well, let me see, what can I tell you about myself... my name is Antonio Luis Vélez, I was born in West Lafayette, Indiana on March 7th, 1975 at precisely 8:01am EST, and currently live in a rural area somewhere in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico. Graduated Class of '92, Colegio San José (Río Piedras) - ¡Conquistadores!
 
 

Here are a few pictures of myself:

How am I? I measure 5'11", weigh 180 lb., size 34 pants, L shirt, 17½ collar and size 11 shoes. I love basketball, dancing merengue, messing around with my computer, and Star Wars! This is the coolest magazine cover ever in the entire history of magazine covers:

I also enjoy music from all sorts of genres, everything from artists like Ricardo Arjona, Alejandro Sanz, Diego Torres, to Marc Anthony, Savage Garden, Matchbox Twenty, to Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Kid Rock, and on and on with these unlikely mixes. Food you say? Most anything Puerto Rican, and SEAFOOD! Of course, one or two Corona Extras can't hurt anyone.

I was diagnosed with arrhythmic epilepsy, a condition that (no, I don't have seizures of any kind) causes my brain to release electric impulses out where it's not supposed to. It's not life threatening, doesn't turn me into a loon or a psycho or prevent me from having a normal life; it just affects my memory, concentration and stuff like that. Anyhow, of you'd like more info about all types of epilepsy, check out the American Epilepsy Society's web site.
 

This is an image of me hitting that rim hard (not!). Impossible not to recognize, this is the man for whom I own a TV set; the Best Player Ever, Lord of the Court and God just about everywhere: Michael Jordan! I miss him...

Did I tell you I have a girlfriend? Well, to be precise, I have 4 girlfriends! And the best part about it is that they all accept each other and share me without any jealousy. They are, in no particular order:
