Karoake, YEAH I SING WHAT!? Poetry, sports, interesting conversations. Meeting new people. LAUGHING AND MAKING OTHERS LAUGH. Doing impersonations. Video games like God of War.... Sports teams, for those who don't know....SF 49ers and Giants, Texas Rangers (can't call me a bandwagoner, San Jose Sharks (my hometown boys!), Golden State Warriors (no bandwagon there either), New York Rangers (they had the same color uni's as the Texas ones, and Messier was the shit). That's my pro teams. College football: OSU BUCKEYES (even when they choke hard in the BCS championship, OSU Beavers (thanks to Adam for indoctrinating me into Beaver Nation...I am what I eat...doh!), and my alma mater, San Jose State. College Basketball: UNC Tarheels (nobody else, though I'll pull for SJSU of course, and the Beavs, but it's really all about one team there...and FUCK DUKE).In loving memory....to the man who gave me so many of my favorite moments growing up, including being there the day this photo was taken, perhaps the happiest day of my childhood...he was a great man...and a fellow San Jose State Alum...
Cool people period. I would love to meet Nolan Ryan and just say thanks for all the great memories he gave me growing up. Anyone who knows me knows how I have a disgusting shrine of memorabilia even though he hasn't thrown in nearly 14 years. I'd also like to meet God in the end.
I have over 6000 CD's...jack them and you will die. I love all sorts of bands, but mainly the 80's new wave scene, trance and goth industrial dance (okay, electronic music let's just say). Also lots of old soul. Faves include my friend John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting fame, The Beautiful South, Divine Comedy, Miranda Lee Richards, DM, PSB, Erasure, Bad Religion, Embrace, New Order, the Smiths, Love and Rockets, Ice Cube (and all his incarnations), ICP, Goldfrapp, Deceptikonz (NZ hip-hop), The Pegz (Aussie hip-hop), shit, I like a lot of different bands and I'll turn you on to some new ones if you don't know....
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War, Man Bites Dog, Don't Move, Brassed Off!, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Pulp Fiction, Ichi the Killer, Oldboy, Love me If you Dare, City of Lost Children, Hotel Rwanda, City of God, Little Miss Sunshine, Romper Stomper, Gladiator, Run Ronnie Run. I'm into a lot of movies too, but I tend to go toward indies and foreign films...
Heroes (is it Monday yet?)...Pros vs. Joes. Anything sports related of course, American Idol (yeah I got hooked, what?), MXC, Whacked out Sports, Friday Night Lights, Scrubs (is the shit!), ER (still), the Office...and some others...
Irving Welsh, Nick Hornby, Piers Anthony, David Sedaris, Stephen King, Leon Uris, Willa Cather are amongst my favorite writers. Poets would be Rita Dove, Pablo Neruda, Ocatavio Paz, Sylvia Plath, and, of course myself.
My grandfather for being who he is. My sister for being a survivor all these years. She is my inspiration for always trying to be happy. And of course Hiro....
