Forget about the senior prom; go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts.

About Me

Howdy. I had to explain to some guy why I say "Howdy." It's because apparently, there's an implied comedic element when an Asian guy says "Howdy." It makes other people think, "Wow. Wasn't expecting that." Anyway, I probably already know you. That's why you're cool. .. ..

My Interests

The Arts and creative people, generally speaking. I strongly believe it's in our nature to create, whether it be a masterpiece or a silent joke to oneself.

I'd like to meet:

Reality. People who are unafraid to dish out the first thing that comes to their minds.Imaginary. Minds who warp their own reality like clay in a sculptor's hands.

Music:

Dave Brubeck. Seu Jorge. Oppenheimer. Radiohead. NWA. Honors English. Rhythm Rockers (lol!).

Movies:

The last time I was seriously stoked on watching a movie in the theater was in the Philippines, when all I wanted was to watch something in English for a change. It sounds a little wrong, but a Tagalog-dubbed Transformers would simply be wrong... but so right.

Television:

I like Heroes. And when I worked from home, I'd watch a lot of Star Trek on SPIKEtv. Love the nerdery. Oh yeah, MMA fights, Food Network and History Channel are cool too.

Books:

I need to start actively reading fiction again. I've been picking through so many non-fiction books about various conflicts and dilemmas that I need to read something fake and nice... just so I can regain some sort of faith in modern society.

Heroes:

My Family. Their courageousness is inspiration for the world (Go Cousins!). Humphrey. Clean TWO. Pintsize (from Questionablecontent.net) Gordon Ramsey Anthony Bourdain BumblebeeAnd Hiro Nakamura.

Foodstuffs

I think I'm a bad person for buying a bag of Basmati rice, thereby taking food out of starving Indian kids' mouths.Eh.I'm making curried chicken right now. It's supposed to be spicy and scrumptious.Wi...

A Random Letter

I (and an unnamed accomplice) wrote a random letter to a random person we found in the phonebook and mailed this bit o' literature via the U.S. Postal Service. I don't know why, but I thought it would...

Iron Mans Chode Is Made of Iron, Silly

Awesome. Watch it. Now.I can do without one thing in this movie: Terrence Howard. He is the epitome of a Chode with a high, raspy, whiny voice that seems to take the badass element of an otherwise bad...

Grand Tour STL Bike Ride

This event is my baby. I'm all about alternative transportation, and biking sure as hell beats riding a Segway. Come out and support the event and spread the word that biking is truly a viable mode of...

Kickin It Old Skool

I’ve been somewhat paranoid of a global war since watching Red Dawn(Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen) as a kid.Frankly, I think we’re already here. It’s a world full of Hater-ade and we...

We All Be Bitches...

I like to think I’ve gotten out of the habit of griping about my day on a realistic sense. However, I encountered an utterly rude woman, posting up a garage sale-style flyer outside of my office...

Television, The Plague and Conflict

It’s been a few weeks since I last posted something. I’ve had the Plague and I’m probably missing a lung now. It’s weird being sick. You feel like crap, but feel even worse if ...

Dead Bodies and Segway Rides

According to certain great minds, you can find the beauty in almost everything. While that might come under scrutiny and depend on the mindset of the individual seeking said beauty, I believe in the c...

The Bigger Picture (100th Post)

Apparently, writing about sports is not my strong point. In high school, I was asked to not participate in the school newspaper because I didn't follow directions: interview the quarterback.The quarte...
