realtall,

I checked out your blog, and holy crap was it ever interesting.

Two music degrees, eh?

Yep. And thanks.

Mine is just a play on my name using Portuguese, Pedro is... well I think you can guess that. And the Portuguese word for tea is pronounced similar to my last name, I was known as Elder chá de limão (lemon tea) by many members in my mission.

I grew up in a family of rabid yewt fans ... My father has had season tickets on and off for years, two brothers and a brother in law regularly haunt Utefans.net and I am the lone rabid BYU fan.

As a kid I once pretended I wasn't feeling well so I could stay home from a Utah game to watch BYU on tv ... in the eyes of my family I am too religous, too irrational, too blue!

Most people think 33 is my age. I have a few years before I join the older singles ward yet.

Do you windsurf? I do.

I work in Walnut Creek CA. When I first signed up for CB it was the only thing that occurred to me. Pretty lame, I realize.

When I used to be MesaCougar mine was just indicative of the location I lived when I signed up on Cougarboard.

I haven't lived in Mesa for 3 1/2 years now and just waited forever to change, so when I signed up here, I simultaneously got my name on Cougarboard changed to RockyBalboa.

Which of course is indicative of my favorite movies when I was a kid growing up.

I've always been a sucker for the underdog cheesy sports flicks.

On my mission in south texas in '97, i was trasnferring into Corpus Christi, on my way the new DL couldn't remember my name and told my future companion, my name was fuego.

well i got off the Transfer wagon, with my texas shaped shades on, got off and was just hugging everyone. You see, i had been out for two months and had a trainer that didn't believe in getting up and staying out, but did believe in long lunches. I was pretty excited to move.

So they just laughed and called me fuego.

when i started my email account with rocketmail (ahh, a blast from the past before it became yahoo mail), i tried fuego but it was gone, so using my bad spanish (pocho = texmex which is just horrible spanish) i came up with giant fire: fuegote (a la grandote). only to learn it should have been fuegon...oh well...it's there and it's been my online name since 97.

My moniker comes from and old Pat Bagley cartoon in which it has a mother scolding her son at a church function saying "No you can't have any more white cookies and stop calling the punch "Mormon Red Death".
On the utefans.net board I am known as Ann Arbor Ute. I don't live in Ann Arbor anymore but thoughts since I had the chance to change I would.

It has nothing to do with me be an assassin (although when I play Halo I can be pretty lethal in a tank). It also has nothing to do with any veneral diseases that Mormon mothers tell their kids they get if they break the law of chasitiy
