Mood rings, J/K! Reading, collecting sunglasses (I have a fetish).... and underwear.
I also love music, hanging out with friends, gym, movies...the normal stuff. Nothing unusual here. Oh! and FAST ROLLER COASTERS!!
I used to have a weakness for those 2 for $1, 7-11 cookies, now I stick to raw almonds; gives you energy. SUDOKU puzzles (I discovered them by looking thru a San Francisco newspaper while I was living there). I'm hooked!
what else, what else....oh! and taking pictures!
Music
I LOVE MUSIC! If I could sing I'd be HUUUGE! LOL!
My guilty pleasure: running on treadmill watching 80's videos at the SoBe Crunch. Grew up an only child with a puertorrican Mother who knew how to party! I'd watch her get ready for the clubs as she'd put on her make-up and tease her hair while listening to everyting from salsa to Expose. I love her!!! She took me to my first Stacy Q concert which was at a local park in Montebello, CA. I was in 3rd grade.
Stand by Me, La Vie En Rose, Mystic River, Big Fish, American History X, Brokeback Mountain, Crash. Motocylce Diaries reminded me of my teenage years in South America, Enchanted, Dreamgirls. I'm a sucker for tearjerkers... not necessarily love stories but those that involve relationships between friends or family. AND mindless comedies for good laughs.
Television
The Golden Girls, primetime news, Chelsea Lately, Family Guy, Strangers With Candy..., anything on late night. Oh, and ofcourse props to my new Miami friend's shows: "Brooke Knows Best" (Glenn and Ashley) and Ariel Stein's "Miami Social" (on Bravo in January '09)
Books
Middlesex (a holy-shit-must read!) The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Tales of the City (all of them), The Little Prince. Confessions of a Window Dresser, anything from David Sedaris. Invisible Monsters by the writer of Fight Club (f**ked up story, very quick-read and entertaining!) Also the spiritual books: The Alchemist and Siddartha. The Year of Magical Thinking (not for everyone). Life of Pi. Lttle Children and the amazing Poisonwood Bible!. Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamist's Wife by Irene Spencer...Do audiobooks count??: Kite Runner, Eat Pray Love
Heroes
My parents because altho they are divorced they still talk after over 20 years and taught me not hold grudges. Also, growing up I saw my Mom and stepmom going shopping together and I thought that as normal.
And I definitely respect older and wiser gay men who have paved the way for us during their youth so we can be who we are and celebrate our sexuality.

MY DEBUT FILM!!!!
I, E. Daniel Miagany was born to a puertorrican Mother and a Paraguayan/Armenian Father sometime ago on Septmeber 18. I grew up an only child in Los Angeles, CA and at age 14 moved to South America with my Father and half siblings, where I continued my schooling and got first-hand experience with my latin roots. Upon my arrival back to the U.S. I was approached by a photographer at my local gym and today you can see me on countless magazine covers as well as a quite popular Club Papi dancer.
Under my belt I have 24 magazine covers, was the face of GAY.COM for 2007 (billboards and all), appeared in campaigns for; among others, Jocko Underwear, Andrew Christan Clothing and Wax Brand underwear packagaing.
I am currently keeping busy with my hectic Papi Schedule, travelling to different parts of the country, as well as my first starring role in an independent movie titled Boybot, being 1/3 of a musical group called Aka, AND my fulltime job as a Visual Stylist which, "keeps me grounded". Look for me and the rest of the A-Team Papi Dancers in your town soon!
I can't leave my house without lip balm, I recently found 3 in my pocket but if we're ever out and about, you must carry one incase I need it, if you don't mind sharing ofcourse. Also, my ipod, never know when you'll want to shut the rest of the world out, right? and gym bag.
I also have a few pet peeves that I'll throw out just because it's my page and I feel like it, ha! I dislike lazy people and those who chew gum with their mouths open which, I admit, we are all guilty of. I'm big on hands as well as groomed fingernails and toenails...no need for manicures just have them cut please!
Club Papi Boys talk about "IT" in Puerto Vallarta..UNCENSORED!
First Class Papi style!
Who I'd like to meet: Someone who can take me on a hot air balloon ride
I would like to share with you the words to my favorite song of his, "Man In The Mirror" (composed by Siedah Garrett) is far more than a simple melody to me. The lyrics to this song are meaningful words of wisdom and encouragement. "If you wanna make the word a better place take a look at yourself and make a change." Through out years those words continued evolve in my heart and mind, affirming my convictions, giving me a sense of pride, purpose, hope, direction and compassion.
Hey my love I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I miss you and was thinking about you. Hope you and Glenn are doing good. I love you baby daddy and cant wait until I get to see you. XOXOXOXO
