Its not arrogance when I know I am better than you

When I'm gone just carry on don't mourn rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice

About Me

I'm a 28 year old writer/journalist from New York City. I spent a few years overseas and now I'm back...and stuck and bored out of my mind. Born in London, parents are Thai but lived in New York for umm 27 years? Shit I'm old. A citizen of the world, I prefer to say I'm a New Yorker, so that means I love museums, cafes, coffee and the Yankees. I love all kinds of music, especially jazz, rock/alternative and hip hop. I'm a poet at heart and I love politics too.I like reading history, current events and good fiction so that means nothing written past say 1950?. I'm sarcastic to a fault, confidence bordering on the arrogant and smart to the point where I hide it cause you know no one likes the smartest kid in class..Ah well. I've come to realize that things like myspace and such is more about who has more friends than anything else, and who can comment or rather outcomment the other. I am very much aware of the world around me and love to talk about it. What?! I learned to embrace the nerd within.

My Interests

My interests.......writing, reading, museums. Politics, still do a bit of political speechwriting. Let's see sports I love baseball and soccer. I'm a huge Yankee and Manchester United fan. I'm addicted to reading books and watching documentaries, boring I know. I also do a lot of traveling, mostly it has alot to do whith what I write but I still travel quite a bit. Interests? Do people actually read these things? What would happen if I said I like torturing woodland creatures? Anyone? Maple syrup baths? Washing my hair with acid? No?

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet? Cool people ummm a nice girl? Umm a person with a good sense of humor, can carry on a conversation. Someone intelligent, enjoys sarcasm and a dry sense of humor. A lover of the arts would be cool, a baseball or soccer fan is great too. Oh and some who reads cause you know a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Someone who has opinions and likes to shout it loud? Someone into politics, current events, well read? You know at this point, if you can breathe its a start, bonuses for those who can string sentences together, and extra extra points to those who know what a dictator is, (not a sex toy by the way contrary to popular belief).

Music:

I like everything from Miles Davis to Eminem to Nirvana to The Beatles. Its really dependent on my mood sometimes a nice Back violin concerto or Miles; Kinda Blue. Do power ballads count? I have two guilty pleasures, yeah kinda sad 80's hair metal and chessy pop music.....ah ok three I forgot 80's music too.

Movies:

My favorite movies well it depends on my mood, some days its a Kevin Smith movie, on others action and some documentaries. But as for titles, Love Actually, A River Runs Through It, Black Hawk Down, Clerks, Mallrats....Casablanca. However there are some movies that I hate so much so that they never happened, Godfather 3 NEVER HAPPENED, Rocky 5 NEVER HAPPENED see? so much easier to live in movie denial. And is it weird or just me that The Next Karate Kid won two Oscars and Wanda from In Living Color also won an Oscar?

Television:

Hmm well there's only a few things I watch religously sadly The West Wing is gone The apprentice is in LA now however addicted to House MD, and Bones, Rescue Me and Monk and Psych, network tv is seriously lacking now. Sportcenter, and NY Yankee and Manchester United games. But usually I'm either watching the History Channel or whatever chessy movie is on at 2am.

Books:

Ah books lately I'm on a history and current issues books I recently finished The Complete History of China and Russia and a book called the Age of Napolean. I also just finished two books China Awakes and Lost Daughters. I read and finish about two books a week. My favs though, 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and the Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I also love poetry as well Rainer Maria Rilke, Pablo Neruda, Dylan Thomas and Langston Hughes are my favs...I am also my my own favorite writer/poet, is that ok?

Heroes:

Hmm my heroes....my mommy, John F. Kennedy, Miles Davis, Doreathea Lange, Langston Hughes and Malcolm X. An eclectic bunch I know.
