About Me

Insert cliches here...

Like this:
blah blah blah I'm an optimistic person blah blah blah I'm driven by actions not by words blah blah blah I enjoy adventure blah blah blah glass half full half empty blah blah blah I dont take life for granted blah blah blah

The truth is people in general are never what they first appear to be. My experience is those who talk the most good about themselves are those who will most likely disappoint in the end, though I'm not saying they ever intended to...

Therefore here I'm gonna say the least good about myself. Perhaps I'm gonna trash talk about myself so I may turn out to be a surprisingly pleasant person in the end.

Nah forget it...

My Interests

I have many interests, but I'd like to focus on a few

I'd like to meet:

Maybe Lisa Ling, cos I think she's courageous and smart, a good contemporary role model for all Asian Americans, and everyone else, at all ages.

Theres a long list of other people I admire, like Confucius /Plato /Homer /Aquinas /Decartes /JP-II, Chopin /Mozart /Verdi, Einstein /Feynman. Because they are dead, and because you can read / listen to most of their famous works, there's no point in meeting them in person. Maybe just to say thanks but they've heard that a million times already and I'm sure they know we're grateful for their contributions to mankind.

Music:

Bands/gigs I've liked for over 10 yrs: U2, NIN, DepecheMode, ChiliPeppers
Other stuff I like: Trance/Techno, Opera, Classical, MilesDavis, FrankSinatra

on reading JP2

Is Descarte's quote "I think therefore I am" a root of evil in the Western world? The quote places the self as the prime being, over all else, which is obviously a direct contradiction to Christian c...
