About Me

I can come off as an asshole but I am really a pretty easy going guy, with that said I think that my page is a fairly decent representation of myself.
I have spent the better part of the last year in Japan, and I really enjoy it; although I do miss my dog.
I have pitbull but I hate to tell people that he is pit because of the stereotypes of pitbulls and their owners, I found my dog abandoned in the parking lot at work and we have been buddies ever since.
I have a couple bikes because health and fitness are important to me, and I enjoy riding. On that same token I try to avoid eating meat as a general rule.
My car is ugly because nice paint does't make it any more fun to drive.
I support gay marriage far more than the war on terror. Captain Morgan is my friend. So on and so forth, you get the idea.

My Interests

cars, driving, girls, bmx, music, movies, photography, travel, nature, animals, politics, quiet exhaust and noisy brakes...

^ This was a lucky shot one morning on a drive over Mt. Rainier

I'd like to meet:

People who can speak some English in the Shizuoka or Kanagawa area.
Cute girls, cool people into cars, interesting introspective people, people with good stories, or people that like to watch movies... prettymuch people that I have somehting in common with.
If I don't know you and you don't say hi before adding me to your friends list I will not add you on general principle.

Music:

I refuse to list every band I like... Seriously it is retarded.

With that said, I like it all to a certain extent.
I like to listen to reggae, techno, punk, classic, blues, hip-hop, or what have you.

Movies:

old, new, I love them all, especailly if I am cuddled up with my girl or my dog.

Television:

You can only watch so much Japanese television...

Heroes:

"hero" is a very confused word.
Websters defines hero...
2. A man noted for courageus acts or nobility of purpose, especially one who has has risked or sacrificed his/her life.
5. (slang) A large sandwich consisting of a long split roll having a variety of fillings,as meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. "A hero ain't nothin' but a sandwich..."(House of Pain)
I respect and look up to my parents because I can't imagine raising me, teachers, and anyone who can walk through life with a smile on their face.
