Seicho's Autobiography


My name is Sergio Valdez and I am 19 years old, 13 of them spent in El Paso. I don’t talk much and that’s because I generally lack interest in what other people have to say. However I’m not rude and I’m actually pretty upbeat. My favorite thing to do is to just lounge about and listen to music. ALL kinds of music: Zeppelin, Wolf Parade, Flying Lotus, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Kanye West, TV on the Radio, LCD Soundsystem, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and the Wu-Tang Clan. It’s probably easier to describe me by listing the things the things I like so my top five movies are: There Will Be Blood, The Wrestler, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Mean Streets, and Barry Lyndon. My top five books are A Confederacy of Dunces, Blood Meridian, Grapes of Wrath, Finnegan’s Wake (even though I had no idea what was happening), and The Sun Also Rises. The reason I’m at UTEP is because I have no idea what I want to do for a living so I figured I could finish my basics while I think about it. For the most part I disagree with the educational system that is implemented in our schools but I now how much prestige is placed in a college degree so here I am.
