"Accidents are the dirt that Legends grow from"

About Me

I used to be a bodybuilder and a Thai Kickboxing/Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu specialist. I am also a mediocre guitarist that couldn't make his mark for nothing. I now currently reside in Guntersville, AL. However, I am and always will be from VA. My language skills went down the drain, along with alot of my other "so called" abilities. I was at one time a failed artist and also a failed writer. The only thing i'm holding on to now is my music. I love to play the guitar and I love listening to good music. I am married to the most wonderful and understanding woman in the world. I have a family here and back home that love me unconditionally. I for the first time in my life have a brother....in-law, but still I have a brother named Steve Wiley, and he is the best one I ever did have.(And an awesome guitar player too) I have a wonderful niece and two beautiful sister-in-laws that treat me like a brother. I miss my family and friends in Virginia very much and wish that we could all have a huge party down here on the sandy beaches of Gulf Shores. My life has had it's downs and it's ups, but now we're just cruisin' baby! Oh,and I also speak six different languages.....it's that loving all of mankind thing that God blessed me with. I speak: Japanese,Indonesian,Russian,Tagalog(Filipino),Chinese(not very well),and Italian(not very well,either. In the past two years that I worked for Mitchell Grocery, I learned an awful lot of Spanish as well. Yo Soy El Guapo, baby!

My Interests

Music: it is the one language the entire world speaks. It can also move you in ways that lierature,motion pictures, and video games aren't able to. I love playing the Guitar, it is the one thing I know how to do without messing up something. Martial Arts, even though I am no longer a practitioner, doesn't mean i'm not interested in it. Although, I hate what UFC has done to the beauty of the sport. Foreign Cultures and people of the world. I love languages,food,music,and people from all over the world.

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

I love Japanese films(not anime),especially films made by Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano. I also love Kung Fu movies and revenge movies,such as Oldboy and Lady Vengeance(thanks Alby). My taste also includes many independant films from America. I am starting to like French movies even though I do not understand the language at all. Amelie was a classic. IFC and the Sundace channel are always on my T.V.

Television:

No T.V.,it kills brain cells. However,I do love Football,Hockey,and Boxing....and I will turn on the tube if any of those sports are playing at that moment.

Books:

The B.I.B.L.E. yes,that's the book for me.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ,is my number one hero. I mean come on,he died for me and you. What's more heroic than that?
