CotyGonzales.com started off as my personal website, my lifestream on the Internet. After about 2 months or so of on and off blogging I began to focus on a single niche and that niche became T-Shirts! It made perfect sense, since, I am a huge fan of that little cotton wonder and have been so even before I began this website.

Once I decided to focus on T-Shirts, or as I like to affectionately call them, tees, I began to engulf myself into the large online tee community. Daily T-Shirt posts soon led to weekly interviews (Indie Tee Spotlight) with some of the most well known indie brands around. Inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk, I decided to launch my very own online show, Co-Tee TV, which is the first tee review show on the Internet and is dedicated to showcasing indie tees and reviewing products sent to me. So to sum things up, yes, I am a T-Shirt loving freak!

Want to learn more about me?

Hello World. My name is Coty. Commander Awesome from Planet Radness. I am a professional student. I like chicken but I like Apple Computers even more (if you’re stuck in a Windows world I really do feel sorry for you). I rocked an iPod before it was cool. Shit, I rocked an Apple computer before it was cool, 5620/120 baby. With that said – Steve jobs is pure genius. I enjoy Green Day. Bob Marley is the man. I very much do not like Metallica (especially Lars Ulrich) with a passion. With a Passion. Exclamation. Superman is amazing. I build interactive and content rich websites for fun. I own eight domains.

I love Hawaii. Hawaii is cool – literally and figuratively. Romance is beautiful. Always remember to put oil in your car. I don’t like chemistry but I am learning to adapt. I enjoy the physical, natural and social sciences. Integration is key. I don’t have migraines, but I have lived through them via research. Marijuana and methamphetamines are part of my day job. I game hardcore gamers. You should always have a sound experimental design.

I am an urban carnivore. I will try any food at least once. And I mean anything. I enjoy exquisite fine dining as much as I do hole-in-the-walls.

I am an extreme Hiker with nerves of steel.

I believe that life should be lived to the fullest and with no regrets. I say who gives a fuck about what others think about you because I am quite sure that they don’t give a fuck about what you think about them. Sometimes plain stupidity is a life saver – it makes you smile. In order to have balance in life you need fundamentals – a very smart man once told me that. I am a proud Ilokano specific Filipino, but I am trying to be a better pinoy with every passing day. My grandpa is a Sakada. I can read, write and speak Ilokano. Lived in Hawaii all my life. Talk about leaving but don’t really want to. Even though I own a PhD and am a university lecturer, I still prefer that you call me Coty. Peace out.
