I'd like to meet:
Try and find me a hotter Warrior fan than Jessica Alba. I DARE YOU! As Americans the vast majority of us, myself included, have a dislike for Osama Bin Laden but damn is his niece HOT! Her name is Wafah Dufour if you're curious. :) 1/2 German. 1/2 Egyptian. Vanessa Lengies is 100% fine. Anyone sense a theme here? I don't. :p The Heart and Soul of my beloved Golden State Warriors. Now just a memory. You will always have a home in Oakland J-Rich. Image courtesy of warriors.com and NBA Entertainment.

Television:
I don't watch much tv these days here are a few things for you to watch. This kid freaking owns you. The song is "Sung In Shik" by the korean singer Park Ji Yoon. It's also known as "Adult Ceremony" and "I will accept you". Pump It Up players should know this song from older mixes of the game and anyone remotely interested in K-Pop should have heard this somewhere down the line. Basically this little girl does the full routine for this song. Freaking amazing! Without further ado....oh and of course turn off the music player. :p
From PIU we now go to a classic DDR song. *drum roll* It's Butterfly! Now this is for anyone who has ever played Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Enjoy!
Does this look familiar? Just can't get enough Daler Mehndi! "Listen to the fat bass." It's absolutely amazing what can be found on youtube. ;) This guy is the shiznit. I happened to catch him live at a Warriors game. :) If you haven't seen this yet then you must have been under a rock for quite a while. I give to you the World Famous...well you'll see. :) If ever you're feeling down just watch this video and I GUARANTEE you will feel a whole lot better. I love kids. :) I am at a loss for words. Well, except fot maybe GOLIMAR! I seriously cried tears of joy when I first saw this. Even though I have NEVER had a manicure/pedicure done I can seriously see this happening since well this is kinda like what happens when I get a haircut. Enjoy! My favorite Warrior of yesteryear...on the Chris Rock show? Now for one of my favorite pop/cheesey songs of all time. Color Me Badd's "All For Love" but with a major facelift courtesy of the Korean pop group S.E.S. :)
Books:
The Tao of Pooh is the most recent book I read. It was really mind opening. Real good stuff. Oh, and did you know I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 ?
Heroes:
I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam!
To quote Chris Rock, "Everyone says Hillary is a hero. No, Aquaman is a hero." Pimpest character ever. Got the cars, gadgets, and women. 'Nuff said!All kidding aside, I would be amiss if I didn't mention my biggest hero of all...my father Rene Parales Tirona. R.I.P. Dec 15, 1922 - July 3, 1996
