About Me

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great." ~ Mark Twain
I try to keep my life simple, yet rewarding: I live and I blog .
I also tutor students who are in the government-sponsored No Child Left Behind program and I'm working on a bachelor's degree in Marketing.
So far, my 15 seconds of fame has been as a guest on Tyra for her "Interracial Dating" segment. Hopefully that will soon change since I plan on breaking into the entertainment industry as a TV host/personality after I'm finished with school.
Lastly, I strongly believe in fighting for human rights, especially LGBTI rights , and for gay Asian representation within our American media because, let's be honest, it's about time we see some gay Asians on TV. We got to fight this fight together because there's no one behind us if we don't succeed. It really is now or never.
(Search for "gay asian" on YouTube and/or Google to find out a lil' more about yours truly.)

"It is like a play. But when the curtain falls, the one who played the king, and the one who played the beggar, and all the others---they are all quite alike, all one and the same: actors. And when in death the curtain falls on the stage of actuality, then they also are all one; they are human beings. All are that which they essentially were, something we did not see because of the difference we see. They are all human beings. It seems to be forgotten that the distinctions of earthly existence are only like an actor's costume." ~ Kierkegaard's "Works of Love"

Caught in the Shower

After hot tubbing the other day, I was taking a shower and stupid me forgot to lock the door. Five minutes into my shower, Paul and Ava decided to let themselves in with a camera in hand. The rest is ...

Let Me Flow

I'm half naked. Can you guess which half? I like to say provocative things but I also like to be reserved. Can I be both? It's calming being sober at five in the morning after you've gone out on a Fri...
