Im generally pretty easy going and friendly, despite my often times sarcastic nature on message boards. I don't take most things too seriously and mostly just try to have fun with things. Life is really just a big game to me and I'm trying to have fun with it. Right now I'm spending my youth traveling around with my girlfriend, getting beat up in boxing rings, getting punched and kicked, and watching Kat hit people too.
At some point in the not too distant future we hope to open up a school where we teach people to do the same. A pipe dream? Possibly, but we're gonna give it a shot and I think we've got the tools and the ambition. The martial arts is our passion and we're putting forth a lot of effort into persuing it. I guess there are other things I'd like to do (not really as a career, but just skills I'd like to pick up) like learning to cook (like, real cooking school type stuff).
At one point in time I thought I wanted to be a comic artist, but I realized I'm not quite artistically gifted enough for that so I decided on something a little more down to earth, like graphic design. Basically, I realized that graphic design is in fact kinda boring and not something I could really do with my life. I was also in a little gypsy jazz/klezmer/surf rock band for a short period, then did a little gypsy jazz trio for an even shorter stint until basically the integral member of the band went off to music school. I think for a while I just kinda put the interesting parts of my life on hold and got a real job and an apartment and things were just kind of boring for a while.
Then I got in my head to do something interesting again and something active that'd get me in shape and I took up muay thai. I then ended up getting addicted to the idea of being a fighter and competition and martial arts took precidence over everthing else. I keep thinking to myself I'm going to blow the dust off my old trumpet and get back into that and start drawing all the time again, and maybe I will, but right now I'm content with what I'm doing.
Other than that I don't really have much to tell, I guess you'd just have to chit chat with me to find out.
oh yeah go here to check out some of my art:kidspatula.deviantart.com

My Interests

Muay thai, K-1, boxing, drawing (at least I used to draw, haven't done it in a while admittedly), competing, training hard, kicking ass and doing my best not to get my ass kicked.

I'd like to meet:

People that like to box, kickbox, grapple, MMA, obviously. Anyone looking to set up a match. People who'd like to spar and train together. People that really have things to talk about. People that enjoy quoting Terminator or UCB.

Music:

Electro: Autechre, Aphex Twin, Mu-Ziq, Amon Tobin, Prefuse73, Talvin Sing, squarepusher, boards of canada, Luke Vibert, Venetian Snares, Meat Beat Manifesto, Jega, Jaga Jazzist, Plaid, Kid Koala, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Mira Calix, Future Sound of London, St. Germain, Qbert.Hip hop: Diggable Planets, Jurassic 5, Saul Williams, KRS One, Kool Keith, Wu-Tang.Other: Bjork, Jimi Hendrix, Django Reinhardt, Dizzy Galespie, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, probably a bunch of other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head. I don't limit myself to set styles, but Im not one of those people that sorta bat their eye lashes and say "oh I like everything!" because those people, from my experience, are just not interested in music.
