The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...

About Me

My name is Leigh Carter. I previously worked at Kobe City Hall in the International Division as a translator of Japanese/English. Was working there for 2 years. I recently got a job at a very big Japanese sports company (like Nike) initially in promotions/marketing and then going into management. Its entirely in Japanese so im a little nervous as to how i will do. Mostly my job will consist of meeting sports stars, going to games (soccer/football) and promoting my company. I am excited to work in this field!! I love playing guitar, working out at the gym, watching and playing football, and going out for a few wines with friends.Edited with: The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!

My Interests

Soccer (or Football for those normal people), Movies, Gym, Guitar, Music and life in Kobe

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is fun, exciting and has interesting stories. I basically created this so my friends back home and here in Japan can see what i have been up to, but now that my life has changed I would love to get to know and meet lots of new people. Write to me and find out!!!

Music:

The Pixies, The Vines, Wolfmother, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Ben Lee, Foo Fighters, Eagles of Death Metal, Arctic Monkeys, Gyroscope, The Herd, Hilltop Hoods, Jeff Buckley, Tenacious D, John Butler Trio, Jurassic 5, Led Zepplin, The Resin Dogs, System of a Down, The White Stripes, Gym Class Heroes, Muse, Snow Patrol, Johnny Cash,

Movies:

Zoolander, Old School, The Usual Suspects, Napoleon Dynamite, Lord of the Rings, Excalibur, Little Nicky, Shawshank Redemption, Donnie Darko, Aliens, Platoon, Conan: The Barbarian, The Departed, Pan's Labyrinth, and many others that i cant think of right now

Television:

Right now: Lost, Arrested Developement, Jericho, My Name is Earl, Futurama, Office, Justice League, Veronica Mars, Heroes

Heroes:

I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.
