*****NOTE: Not one of those notorious Myspace friend collectors. Anal about adding only people I know...or at least admire. Don't randomly try and add me before sending me a message because when (I'm) in doubt, DENY, DENY, DENY.*****
♥ Life is good, I'll take it straight up or on the rocks. I've learned in the past year that many cliches remain true. Everything happens for a reason. When one door closes, another opens. What goes around comes around. And good things really do happen to good people. It all works out in the end, somehow, some way...you just have to have patience, and faith in yourself. I am blessed to be where I am at, living the life I have dreamed of with family and close friends who remained by my side through trial and tribulation, good times and bad. And I am blessed for even those who weren't because harsh lessons are better than none at all. ♥
My mantra still remains: Work hard, play hard! I multi-task like no other and have always lead multiple lives to help deal with my multiple personalities and workaholic addiction (always need to be busy or out doing something...life's too short). But I'm obsessed with feeding my brain on a regular basis and do have an ultimate passion: teaching, the one and only thing besides my family that would bring me back home to the "rock" (Hawaii) for good.
And I STILL miss my Hawaiian bacon...;)

My Interests

Big Apple. City of Angels. Sleep. Laughing. Books. Movies. Carbs. Spam luncheon meat. White bread. Hip-hop. Dance. Gay Men. ebay. Improv comedy. Jailhouse tatts. Anonymity. Pop culture. Education. Horticulture (the word, not the science). Japan. Thesbians. Ebonics. Netflix. Red Meat. Spirits. Corner bodegas. My life.

I'd like to meet:

In my imaginary la la land: Connor and Murphy MacManus. Jonathan Rhys Meyer. For old time's sake...Wentworth Miller. For new time's sake...Nick Swardson (**aaah met him!! on 5/28!!**) Everyone I listed under "Heroes." I got a soft spot for white boys w/ a little bit of edge (and if you can make me do a true L.O.L. you are halfway there). Extra points if you know your way around a Home Depot/Lowe's.

Music:

Love it all, really do. But, got a soft spot for hip-hop and anything 80s. Gangsta rap when I'm angry or want to drive aggressively. BEATLES all day, everyday.

Movies:

Oldboy, The Goonies, Kill Bill, Closer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Across The Universe, Hard Candy, City of God, Napoleon Dynamite, Reservoir Dogs, Dogtown, Pulp Fiction, Sin City, Audition, Battle Royale, Blow, The Usual Suspects, Heat, GoodFellas, The Departed, Donnie Brasco, Grandma's Boy, My Cousin Vinny, Office Space, The Holiday, Zoolander, Bring it On, Jawbreaker, Malibu's Most Wanted. Yes, I'm a movie whore.

Television:

FLUFF- GREY'S ANATOMY! Best show ever...well not counting Sex and The City (R.I.P.), Desperate Housewives ADDICTIVE REALITY- So You Think You Can Dance, America's Next Top Model, Miami/LA Ink, Project Runway, Top Chef, Rob&Big, The Girls Next Door COMPLETE TRAIN WRECKS- as evidenced by shows like Charm School, every dating show on VH-1, Surreal Life, My Super Sweet 16, RR/RW challenges... "LOL"- THE SOUP, Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show, Comicview, Wild 'N Out... OTHER- Law & Order: SVU, multitude of random shows on VH-1

Books:

Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Heroes:

For one reason or another: Howard Stern, Joe McHale, Johnny Depp, Conan O'Brien, Anthony Bourdain, Steve Colbert, Tucker Max, Nick Swardson, Wendy Williams, Jay-Z, Hype Williams. Everyone on Miami Ink. Adrianne Curry, Lizzie Grubman, Li'l Kim, Ron White, Kelli Finglass, Chelsea Handler, Alyssa Milano, Bisou Phillips, Rose McGowan, Angelina Jolie, Leah Remini, Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick. Envelope-pushers. Surreal Life cast members past and present. Oh and the casting directors/film editors of My Super Sweet 16...unbelievable.
