About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I like almost all sports, although I only watch MMA and Football (Giants and Michigan Wolverines). Really haven't played a sport that I haven't liked. I also like games some of which are games that people call "sports" like curling, billiards, darts, bowling, which are fun and all, but when you can play drunk and not have it affect your game much, have a fat gut and never have to do any really physically challenging thing. I mean really, when was the last time you remembered seeing a bowler or a curler and said to yourself, wow I wish I could be as athletic or as in shape as that guy/girl. Yeah I never have either.
Basically for the past year or so, the only real activity I've been doing is Hapkido (it's a martial art). I'm all for the martial arts, makes excersizing more interesting cause you're actually learning something. So if I get sick or get lazy, eventhough my body get's out of shape I still retain that knowledge so it's less fleeting than just going to the gym. Also it's nice to be better at defending yourself, eventhough you'll hopefully never have to.
I'm a pretty nice guy I think, but just in case i'm not don't ask around.jk
Always down to have some fun and I'm pretty easy going.
Like hiking and outdoorsy stuff eventhough I rarely get to do it. Spend most of my free time just hanging out in new york city, which is lots of fun, but $$$.
Speaking lots of languages is awesome, too bad I'm only fluent in English. My Chinese is ok, still remember a bit of french from highschool/elementary school, and my Japanese is a work in progress. Hopefully I can at least get my Chinese and Japanese down, but only time will tell. Mostly not sure cause I get so lazy about it sometimes.

My Interests

browsing the web, martial arts, anime, movies, girls, Drinking, Dancing, funny stuff, Games (board or video), and of course Eating,

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has something to say, something new to show me, anyone who can make me laugh or open my mind. Always good to have lots of different input.

So I just saw the movie Mr. Brooks yesterday. Although I had to basically run from my hapkido class to get there on time it was worth it. Of course I don't want to give too much away, so I won't. Kevi...

Ok, so in general I love animals. I've had dogs, cats, fish, ferrets and bunnies (bunnies are less fun than fish) as pets. I have loved them all, even when my sister's cat would try to suffocate ...
