About Me

Look at my profile, message me with any question you can think of. Seriously, anything. DON'T just send me a friend request, I want to actually know my "friends".The slideshow pics are from the Coex Aquarium in Seoul.

My Interests

I hate people that are bored all the time. There are so many awesome things in this world, and I just don't have enough time in the day to learn and experience everything that I want to. It's easier for me to list things I'm NOT interested in, but the things I spend the most time on are my music, movies, TV, books, and games. I work out most every day, play poker every week, check out a bar or club every weekend, and play pool whenever I can. I love adventuring and traveling and seeing what's in Korea. Every other week I'm hiking to a temple or going to the beach or checking out an art festival. Most of all, I love trivia and referencing random pop culture, especially from the 80s:

I'd like to meet:

People that will expand my mind, enrich my life, and touch my soul.Who I DON'T want to meet: friend-collectors, Bush-supporters, and people who need me to constantly entertain them.I also want to meet the guys who made this: Powerthirst

Music:

I appreciate almost everything, but I actually spend money on rock and rapcore, electronica and industrial, and anything that blends multiple styles and genres. And I love me some Afrika Bambaataa:

Movies:

SO many! I have a hard time with serous dramas and movies made before the 60s. I love Stone, Pitt, Mamet, Portman, and the Will Ferrel crew. I've got a soft spot for hardcore martial arts films and I love animated movies that aren't made just for kids. 300!!

Television:

I get my news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert cuz they cut through all the crap and scare tactics. I watch a few shows on FX and G4, and always manage to get suckered into at least one MTV show a season. Lately I'm watching Korean TV, so I've become a big fan of X-Man! Bless Korean TV: Korean TV Commercial

Books:

I don't read as much as I should but lately I'm into world religion, philosophy, and psychology books. Mostly I read fantasy/sci-fi stuff and anti-establishment books by guys like Dick and Palahniuk. And I've gotta pimp the comic books, they're literature, too (the good ones.) My favs are The Walking Dead, Fables, Y the Last Man, Planetary, and Astro City.found this girls layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com

Heroes:

Thomas Jefferson, Bruce Lee, anyone who can drink a bottle of tabasco and a fifth of Jack in one sitting. And Abraham Lincoln, King of the Cage. And Bobby Batronic...say it like it is, Bobby!

So I live in Gyeonggi-do, which is the donut-shaped province surrounding Seoul. I spend most of my time in my city of Sungnam-shi, and the second most time in Seoul itself for nightlife or sight...

Treason

The following is written by a band manager. "I've been thinking about treason recently. I used to think I knew the meaning of the word as a special sort of "official" betrayal of the state. Of co...

Paranoia, paranoia, everyones out to get me

A couple of weeks ago I was watching some stuff on the computer and putzing around the house late at night, lights off. I was relatively peaceful except that out of the corner of my eye I keep s...

A passage from the informative textbook: "There is no linguistic reason why the word vagina is 'clean' whereas cunt is 'dirty' or why prick or cock is taboo but penis is acknowledged as referring to p...

Getting into a rhythm...

So, I've been in the ROK four months now, and I'm starting to get my stride. The simple things which were once nearly impossible (buying food, getting trash bags, using the ATM, getting around) ...

Women!

So, I do not pretend to be any expert on women, but I do have a little bit of experience dating. Coming to Korea has been a rude awakening. Back in the States, when you say you're coming t...

Mudfest!

So I said I'd talk about dating, but I lied. Rather than philosophize about Korean women, I'm going to give a quick recap and review of Mudfest '07. I will however, tie this in to women if...

Cancer birthdays

Well, it's been quite some time since I sat down to write about life here in Korea. I have been, as they say, too busy living life to write about it. This was due to several factors: 1- I ...
