About

Who is Carlos?

First you need to know that I am an Aries and that according to the Myers-Briggs personality test I am an ENTJ. What does that entail? Well, as an Aries male my major characteristics are my confidence, boldness and vigor, one who hates monotony in life, forgives and forgets easily, has a pleasant personality and is trying to cheer up those around him, always young at heart, deeply committed to his personal relationships and beliefs, repulsed by pessimism and negativity, and who has a firm faith in his principles and will always stick by them no matter what.

As an ENTJ supposedly have the natural tendency to marshal or direct, and focus on the most efficient and organized way to carry out a plan and we often take control of a situation in order to improve or strengthened it.  Usually we find subjective issues pointless.

Yeah, they have me pegged pretty well. I’m not just simply awesome, but I have several other interests as well. For instance I am a huge lawgeek, specially when it comes to student First Amendment rights online specially now with the rise of social networks, as well as an advocate for service-learning and civic engagement.  Not only that, but I am an avid book collector, which simply means I go on spending binges of books I think I need or want and never really finish them or get them because a row on my bookshelf is empty and I need to fill it. I also dabble slightly in photography when time permits.

So what is this blog about?

Like Seinfeld, Hits Snooze Twice is a blog about nothing and everything. I need an outlet to just express myself on here online about subjects that interest me or just to document an important life event. Don’t expect this blog to be strictly about one subject or another, because that is not how we humans are. As Shakespeare said, the world is a stage and we are merely players in it who play different parts 1 and this blog highlights all the bit-roles that I play daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Please, don’t always expect serious posts or funny posts, Just expect me to update this thing every once in a while.

Are you a presence elsewhere online?

Why, yes I am. At the top you can see different buttons that will connect you to other social networks profiles that I have around. I also have a Tumblr called I Am Trying to Blog Your Heart that I try to update regularly (more regularly than this), you can also check out my Shared Items on Google Reader as well as subscribe to the Atom feed of my Starred Google Reader Items. You can check out what I am reading on Goodreads and if you want to buy me something for my birthday (April 10, also known as the Christmas in April) you can see my Amazon Wishlist.

What does your blog title mean?

Its a lyric from Wilco’s Summerteeth. Also, I hit the snooze button twice (at a minimum) when getting up in the morning. Little known fact, I try to get up an hour before I really need to wake up. Keyword: try.
