My Interests

DJ scratching and performing, Aikido , Tekken, Soul Calibur, Anime, yugioh

I'd like to meet:

Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) , Bruce Lee, Julia Styles, various adult film stars...ESPECIALLY Hitomi Yuki, Tia Tanaka, Evelyn Lin and Jenna Haze (damn she's HOT!)

Music:

Besides the typical classic hip-hop, b-boy, skratching and freestyle most "old skool DJ's" like to listen to, I also enjoy mod, alternative, 90's house, k-pop, j-rock and especially j-pop.

Movies:

I looooove movies. Nothings better than killing time either at the theatres or at home with a (female) friend...and then that friendship starts getting closer...and even tho the girl specifically stated she doesn't want to date you cuz of some generalized experience she had in the past you still get closer...and then one day while whispering comments to each other you notice your faces are real close...and then...oh damn, I guess that ONLY happens in movies too huh? :-(

ANYWAYZ...Adventure, Comedy, Romantic-Comedy (only when with a girl), Sci-Fi and once in a while a Vampire/Werewolf/Zombie flick. Other than sitting around and playing video games the next best thing is sitting around and watching movies. Of course they have to be good or at the very least interesting.

A good porn is enjoyable too yet you just can't keep your hand off the Fastfoward button! lol

Television:

Currently addicted to Heroes and of course...

Naruto! The way it was meant to be seen, in Japanese!

Books:

I used to read and collect comics almost religously such as JLA and X-men. But times are tough right now tho so I can't afford to keep up anymore!
The few real books I actual read were Jurassic Park 1 and 2 and also the next three (or was it two?) Star Wars novels that took place after Ep. 6

Heroes:

Shikamaru Nara (from Naruto)

The ninja with Batman's dirty fighting & detective skills, Captain America's brilliant tactician thinking and a genius level 200+ IQ just wants to take things the easy way and sleep all day! How could he not be my hero! MENDOKUSE!

But most surprisingly to many and importantly to me, my ex-wife, Janelle aka the Mixtress.
Without her I possibly would have never found the courage or the means to make a bigger effort into getting back to DJ'ing.
