[Back from commercial ...] I'm the Sweeeetest. "3 M's" in my life: Movies (studied as a career), Martial Arts (way of life) and Music (i.e. B-boyin', guitar). Therefore: "Martial Arts is the 1st love I never forget, Cinema is my 1st lady, but Music is a mistress." - Self
Miscellaneous: Somewhat Martial Arts-related, I also do some Parkour/Free-running. I'm finally chill whenever I go to indy pro-wrestling shows (better than the stuff on TV).
Trivia:
I've been in 3 foot chases from police officers (being caught in 1; escaping in 2, 1 escape via jumping a balcony).
I've been a fan of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) since 1995, 10 years BEFORE it became mainstream in the U.S. and all the meatheads/jocks jumped on the bandwagon. I even met Tito Ortiz back when he was UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and he's rock hard.
I tried out at a pro-wrestling open house back in 2004 and puked everywhere 'cuz that shit was HARD.
My guitar teacher formerly played with the Gipsy Kings and he even has the original jacket that Michael Jackson wore in the "Beat It" music video.
I'm the 1st in the paternal family line to be born into the "working class" since my dad squandered the family fortune and later even stole my inheritance money to start up a business that bombed, resulting in ongoing tensions between us.
I love Kelly Clarkson, Celine Deon, Sarah McLachlan, and Charlotte Church as my favorite female vocalists.
Injuries: Ripped hamstring, torn ligaments, dislocated bones, muscle spasms (ALL from Martial Arts and Break-Dancing).
I acquired Turntablism skills in high school when my DJ friends gave me a crash course during a house party and then allowed me to play my own set.
Experience: Proficient in Tae Kwon Do, 1 year of Capoeira, and limited Boxing and submission skills. Lifelong learning still in progress.
Eminem is my favorite lyricist.
My personality is compared to that of Rapper/Rocker/Country singer Kid Rock.
