I'm just another hardcore 24 fan. I hope this page serves its purpose of letting anyone that peeks in here to know a little more about me and what I think about the show. Feel free to leave me any comments on my talk page.

About Me
I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean. I lived for 29 years in the south part of the island, specifically in the city of Ponce, the main city of the south. However, I got married two years and a half ago and moved to the capital, San Juan where I currently live. I'm a computer technician and professor and have been teaching for 8 years now.

Other than 24, my other interests are films in general, computers, history, and most genres of music. I also enjoy sports a lot even though I suck playing most of them. I'm currently obsessed with Lost and The Shield, which I'm seeing on local television. I'm on the middle of the fourth season of Lost, and just starting the third season of The Shield. I also love photography.

Me and 24
I was brought into the world of 24 by a weird chance. One of my older brothers was already a fan by the time the first or second season were underway. I, however, hadn't seen any of it. Since my brother liked it, I bought my brother the first season's DVD as a gift for Christmas. Knowing he was crazy about the gift, I gave him the next two seasons DVD's for his next birthday and Christmas. By the time the fifth season was ending, I finally decided to borrow the first DVD from him. Suffice to say, I was hooked. I remember taking one disc out just to put the next one, even at 4:00am in the morning with work on the other day. One thing I must say, I had the ending of the first season spoiled somehow, but I don't remember who or how it was. But I still loved it a lot. I quickly went to my brother and borrowed the second season's DVD and "consumed it" the same way.

When I got married in 2006, I wanted to get my wife into the show, so I borrowed the first two seasons again, as well as the other three. Thankfully, my wife loved it as well and practically devoured the whole show even faster than me (cause I couldn't see it as often because of work). As soon as the sixth season DVD's hit the shelves, we rented them all. We are currently watching the seventh season on Hulu.com, usually on Tuesday's night. That's why I usually don't log in this site until Wednesday cause I don't wanna get anything spoiled. As you will see on my individual seasons thoughts, I've loved each and every season so far, despite their flaws.

As the show approaches its end, I can only hope that it ends on a high note. If I were to mention one of my biggest gripes on the show, it would be that they decided to focus completely on Jack Bauer, instead of alternating the focus among a group of characters (without eliminating Jack), which would've made the show more varied.

Me and Wiki 24
Like with the show, I stumbled upon this Wiki by a weird chance. On December 2008, I started making a thread of my 24 favorite characters (heroes/villains) of the show on a movie forum as a preamble to the seventh season. In my quest for accurate information and good pictures, I found this gem of a site. Considering that I was already a fan of Wikis (I'm a frequent contributor at Wikipedia) and a fan of 24, this combination was like the best of both worlds. I started merely lurking and browsing the site. But in January 27, 2009, I signed up and started contributing. My first contributions were on the articles of Dmitri Gredenko, Edgar Stiles, and Ira Gaines, mainly cleaning up and eliminating unnecessary information. Blue Rook was the first to welcome me, so thanks to him for that.

After just cleaning around the edges of some small articles, I decided to dive headfirst into more complete ones. I currently try to contribute as much as I can with articles on the current season, cleaning, updating and adding information. But I also tend to browse articles of past seasons and fix little things here and there. I also love to add screencaps and pictures of characters, locations, and whatnot. I worked the episode guides of seven episodes (Day 7 1:00pm-2:00pm, Day 7 3:00pm-4:00pm, Day 7 9:00pm-10:00pm, Day 7 12:00am-1:00am, Day 7 2:00am-3:00am, Day 7 3:00am-4:00am, and Day 7 4:00am-5:00am) as well as several articles on minor characters. I also created an article which I'm quite proud of: Terrorist attacks on 24. Things that I tend to work currently are articles on locations, minor characters, and the Previously on 24 section. I would also love to work on the occasional episode guide, but sometimes I find it too hard and end up skipping it. I hope to continue contributing to the page for quite awhile, so let's toast to it.
