All or None, Good Til Cancel

About Me

Fun, caring, loving, generous. Of Japanese and Okinawan parents, made in Hawaii, and a 10-year transplant in Seattle. Easy going, flexible, yet directed by high personal expectations, and optimism.If you are (or strive to be) content, satisfied, confident, able and willing to enjoy the passage of each moment in your life, then we might have a lot in common. Oh, and I'm an ENFP

My Interests

Trading -- Coffee -- Food -- Pool -- People -- Trading stock options, Futures, and sometimes Forex. I'll spend a great deal of my spare researching different strategies and markets. I also love coffee...and that, mixed with free WiFi and interesting people will easily get me out of the house. I'm always hanging out at Zoka near Greenlake (and now you can catch me at U-Zoka Thurs and Fri nights) --they have good coffee, free wifi, friendly baristas, and fun people-watching. Pool, 9-ball, 8-ball... Cue Stick Collecting... Bread, baking, Cooking, eating all diff foods from diff cultures, Sushi, Meat... Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, ENFP here...

I'd like to meet:

You... Anyone... Especially all those willing to fear less and live more! Do you transcend violence and oppression and live to love in peace with respect for all? Do you empower those who are powerless?
