Kitch, ...and His Street-Like Charm

About Me

"I am trying to live life as a young rock rebelion, but I'm failing miserably." *mk. I'm a Filipino-French-Irish kid from Hawaii (Both of my parents are Filipino, but my Mom is half...you figure it out) I constantly find myself in a nocturnal can't-get-any-sleep state...awake in the early morning hours even during the work week. I'm a T-shirt and jeans type of guy when I'm lounge'n...but dress according to the occasions and my mood. I drink coffee in the morning...I make a kick-ass cappuccino, I work a lot, but travel when I'm not. I play guitar when ever I'm bored or have inspirations. I don't enjoy long walks on the beach...cause I'd rather be in the water. I've been living, working, and studying here in Northern Italy for the past seven years. I don't like to talk about work unless I know who you are, but don't worry it's (still) a legitiment job. I breifly lived in Seattle in the early 90's and that's when I got hooked to Rock Music. Of course, I listen to other types of music too! Indy films are always cool. My favorite cities are: Bratislava, Seattle, Philly, Boston, Paris, Rovinj Croatia, Salzburg, Treviso, and Venezia. I like photography...nothing serious....I prefer film over digital, but I still use both types. I like to shoot using Medium 120 Film 6x6 format cameras like, Holga, Russian Lubitel and the Kodak Instamatic Reflex camera. I like how the film results have a cheesy/dreamy aestethic feel with colors that looks like it's from another time. I have a passion for old things...not so much Antiques, just little particular things from the past. Want to know more? Ask me.

My Interests

I ♥ SPAM and RICE! Fixing things, Turning Wrenches and getting dirty... Michael TK Kitchell Koahoalani

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting people with different ideas, food likes and dislikes, cultures, and experiences to share...it keeps conversations going and interesting. I'm also using this page to keep in touch with friends and family, but sometimes I'll come across a MySpace member page...and they'll seem interesting, so I'll add them. My friend Alex got me hooked onto this MySpace thing, and I've never even heard of this site before him. (Thanks Bro, not only do I waste spending my time on the phone trying to convince you to come out to Italy, but I now spend time on MySpace doin' it.)

Movies:

I go to Italian Cinemas and watch American films dubbed in Italian...can you believe that sh!t? At least it helps my language listening skills.

Television:

LOST The 3rd Season Some Italian shows on RAI 1, Mediaset5...just so I can learn more of the Italian language.

Books:

Carlos Castaneda--The Teachings of Don Juan. The Black Dahlia--James Ellroy

Heroes:

Duke Kahanamoku - Father of Surf.Eddie Aikau - Rush when it's nuts!Rell Sunn - Makaha Surf Queen

Wish List
