About Me

MUSIC IS THE WEAPON OF THE FUTURE!! Canadian Born with essance of Yankie in my blood, I migrated south to avoid snow, unless it was by my choice (driving to Tahoe is optional!! HA!) After chewing on smog for a year, I decided it was time to get some fresh air, and moved to S.E.Asia. Bartending on the beach in Thailand is increadable! I learned to speak Thai and was also able to hit every country on Thailands boarders. I also spent a few months in Singaore...They know how to party there too!!! So I decided to come back after a year and go to school again....Uni is fun, but had been back long enough! I was awarded some scholarships and went to Shanghai, and Taibei for a while to study Mandarin... Taught English to some kids...had a blast...Stopped off in the philippines for a while over new years and spent a few months there...I have been studying Mandarin for a few years and I'm heading UCSD in the fall for a Poli Sci-IR Major..pretty excited, but I'm also planning to go back to China through UCSD... I'm involved alot with Campus activities, events, and planning such events. I used to play in a band Philtered Soul that is 6 Filipino guys and one tolken white guy "moi", and we used to play all over the bay area. I also used to play drums @ church every sunday, which is modern music, not that boring old crap you normaly hear! I have been playing drums for almost 14 years and I thought I was going to major in Music untill I traveled (Canada, Cuba, Hawaii, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia Shanghai, Guangzhou, Taiwan, Philippines..and some airports that don't really count), but now I'm and International Relations Major with a Mandarin Minor...after I get back I'll be transfering to somewhere hopefully very warm ;) ...best I can do for a few paragraphs...hit me up any time!

My Interests

Music is the big one...This is pretty much what keeps my heart beating..aside from the big guy upstairs holding it all down. I'm facinated with Languages, Cultures and People as well....I love to Dance, Cook, Make Music, play pool, chill out. I'm looking into transfering to Asia for language studies, cultural anthropology, and global studies....I love meeting people and learning about other cultures.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with something to say ;)

Music:

Anything you can dance to, shake booty to...prefered afro cuban or salsa for real dancing, but I'm down with just about anything BUT country....and that death metal stuff you can't even understand...if you wanna break something just do it, you don't have to annoy us with singing about it :P...On the other hand, I'm a drummer. So pretty much anything with a good beat is coo with me. When I want to chill I like Buddha Bar, Gotan Proj., Thievery Corp....But I'll listen to anything once! I don't really have a favorite..cause music is my mood..it changes emotions and feelings within seconds...I think just about every song or melody I know reminds me of some place or time when......$%^&*

Movies:

Crouching tiger rocked..the Usual suspects, Heat, anything with AL Pachino, Bobby Nero..as for the ladies...Zang Zi Yi (however you spell it) is hen hao kan and the french princess in Braveheart que belle fille..saucy..don't really make time to watch movies unless I have nothing planned, which is rare...

Television:

..this device is primarily for late night movies and random shows that make me laugh

Books:

I'm a sparatic reader, but I like all kinds of books..whenever I'm inbetween books, I always have some part of the bible I haven't read..that thing is endless ;) I mostly read the news on-line...BBC, the Economist, cause a teacher turned me on to it's funny British humor and interesting world news..I'm sorry, I'm Canadian, I like new from other countries..I don't need to hear about Britney Spears..and more nip/tuck crap from the newspapers...:P...whatever, I read alot of Lonely Planet, and travel novels...and whatever my sister sends me.

Heroes:

Jesus, cause he's the Man. My sister–cause she kicks ass in school and lives in the craziest city in the United states and dosen't take shit from anyone..HAHA!! I admire the people who are in the world to swollow their pride and go out to make the world a better place, my sister is my role model and best friend!
