About Me

My band Telograph on the Jumbotron at Merriweather Post!!

Rate My Tattoo! Hint: Give me a 10!
After much prodding from a friend of mine, I've decided to succumb to the pressure and start me a myspace page. I have this to say to my friend: "Thanks a friggin lot! All I need is another .. addiction. Why don't you give me some heroin while you're at it!"
I grew up in MoCo in Maryland, and now live in Arlington, VA. I like food... anything from sushi, pho, and dimsum to a good pastrami sandwhich. I'm always on the lookout for good/cheap places to eat, so if you know any, hook a brotha up!
I play bass in a band called Telograph and yes, we do have a myspace page ( www.myspace.com/telograph ).
I've recently accepted my twinkie-ness after years of denial. What do I mean by "twinkie" you may ask... Well, yellow (golden yellow baby!) on the outside and white on the inside. I'm Chinese, but don't speak Chinese, I play in a band, listen to rock music, and drive an American car. You can't get more twinkie than that!
I got drunk on meade once. Can anyone else say that? If you can, you must contact me. Grendel says grrrr!

My Interests

Music, food, drinking, movies, loan sharking, fine wines, performing hits for the mob, long walks along the beach, gun running, yoga, illegal alien smuggling, ballroom dancing, history-I'd like to be some sort of buff, like a history buff.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people that keep me awake. Hot girls that love chubby guys a BIG PLUS! :D

Music:

Wow... where to begin, I do not know. In somewhat chronological order, but not really: Beastie Boys, New Order, Depeche Mode, Anything Box, The Cure, Alphaville, Guns N'Roses, Motley Crue, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Matthew Sweet, Michael Penn, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, The Soup Dragons, Seam, Versus, Pizzicato Five, Cibo Matto, aMiniature, Dinosaur Jr., Velocity Girl, The Dambuilders, Cause & Effect, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Nirvana, Dre, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, The Police, Coldplay, Interpol, Hot Hot Heat, OAR, Rage Against the Machine, The Postal Service, back to the Cure again, then Radiohead again

School of Rock, Big Trouble in Little China, Swingers, Gross Pointe Blank, Boondock Saints, Almost Famous, This is Spinal Tap, Fear of a Black Hat, Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle, Napoleon Dynamite, High Fidelity, The Killer, Hardboiled, Young and Dangerous, The Godfather (II, I, III), Shawshank Redemption, there's a ton more...

Television:

Man, my cable sucks - I'm limted to network TV. Late Night with Conan O'Brien, 24, Prisonbreak is new, but good. Of course, The Simpsons. Should I admit that I'm a closet Stargate SG-1 fan? Should I?

Books:

Angels and Demons is way better than The DaVinci Code. Ishmael, 1984, Ender's Game, Underboss, Chinese Playground, a lot of Tom Clancy stuff, On the Road, a lot of Kurt Vonnegut stuff, Rich Dad Poor Dad

Heroes:

Bruce Lee kicks ass.
