With our powers combined, we are CAPTAIN DESSERT!!!

About Me

I am Thai when it's most convenient to play off my Asian heritage. Otherwise, I am whiter than goat cheese. I speak way faster than I should and I think way faster than I speak. This means I am about as comprehensible as a baboon on whip-its. My interests span football, drinking, Shakespeare, science fiction, skiing, tennis, video games, Trader Joe's food, computers, web pages, fine wines, art galleries, webcomics, weird electronic music, underground hip-hop and foreign beers. If this wide array of trivial pursuits happen to confuse you, it should because it sure as hell confuses me.

My Interests

DJing, Writing, Graphic Design, the Internet, video games, overall nerd type things, World of Warcraft, Trojan football, basketball, tennis, skiing, swimming, running and making an ass of myself. I am very, very good at the latter.

I'd like to meet:

NINJAS & PIRATES!!

Music:

Prefuse 73, Funkstorung, M83, Distillers, Metallica, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, The Roots, Gift of Gab, the Pharcyde, Project 86, Skindred, Hendrix, Nonpoint, Mouse on Mars, Mo' Horizons, Miguel Migs, Kaskade, Mark Farina, People Under the Stairs, Wordsworth, DJ Shadow. I can go on.

Heroes:

Papa Smurf. He is all knowing and wise, as well as a fashion GOD. If I could actually grow facial hair, I'd dye my beard white and paint myself blue. Then I'd wear a giant red condom on my head.

My Blog

Another year gone by.

I am now 26 years old. Forty two minutes into my birthday now and I am already over it. I make a big posture about how I don't care about my birthday and it's absolutely true for the most part. I a...

Sports Writers

Sports Writers infuriate me. I read ESPN.com a fair amount and it boggles the mind at the levels of idiocy they use to grasp their readers. For example, the Indianapolis Colts came back with an exce...

New Years and New Decisions

I'd like to thank the random girl I walked home last night. I don't even remember her name, but she gave me a nice reminder that amidst all the bullshit, there are still nice people in the world. Gr...

Football Once Again.

As I have little to bitch about in my life, the focus of my thoughts go to two things. Football and video games. Seeing as I have a different forum to talk about my gaming passions, I guess I will d...

Long Time Coming

So yeah, new blog after about, heh, five months. I guess you could say a lot has changed in that time. The last five months really have been a whirlwind in my life. I made a lot of drastic changes ...

Birthday

I turn 25 in less than an hour.  I know a lot of folks who look at 25 as being fairly geriatric.  None of these people are over the age of 25, LOL.  Me, I am fucking feeling blessed to ...

The end of a run

Well, USC lost. I knew it was going to happen too. No matter how much I rah'ed and screamed, deep down, I felt that this was going to be the end. And in a way, it's good. Because now we don't have...

Holidays

I don't buy gifts for people and in return I don't expect them from anyone either. So please don't buy gifts for me because I most likely didn't get you anything. Many feel this is not "getting into...
