About Me

PLEASE READ THIS: First off, if I don't know you personally I won't add you. Or at least be nice and send me a message... it is really annoying to have a "friend request" when I don't even know the person! Sorry, that is just my personal preference. I'm not on here to win a popularity contest.
(Added 04.15.07)
I've noticed that there are many things I cannot possibly understand, or comprehend in life. The same can be said about my perspective on life, on this world we live in. Some of you that know me personally, may have noticed the recent obsession I have picked up with photography. In a way, photography is about life.
Much like the recent Discovery HD program, "Planet Earth" , there are so many things about life that really needs to be seen to be appreciated. It is a goal of mine to inspire you with photographs, of people, of travel, of a singular moment in time, to inspire you with something emotional.
It is this emotional inspiration that I hope will allow you to have a better life, to improve your own life, the lives of others, and improve the world we live in. I don't take pictures to be a professional, or to make money. I don't take pictures to prove a point.
I only wish to tell the story of my life, before it is too late to tell a story.
(Updated 10.20.06)
I have probably changed a lot since the time when I was last inncoent. Then again, perhaps I have not changed a bit. I really don't know. Reality is just that, reality... the only things that are real, are those that are imaginary.
My interests are wide-ranging, broad, non-specific. I wake up every day at 5:45AM, find motivation from the smallest things in life, and live a pointless existance. Yet, there is so little of me that even my closest friends know.
I am constantly going back to a crossroad in my life, a single decision I have to make regarding my life. Unfortunately, this also means that those around me are the ultimate "losers"...
To me, there really isn't anything that is "real" or "fake" about people anymore. I generally don't give a shit about this sort of thing, not because I don't care, but rather I know for a fact that if others care, I would care in return. If they don't care, why should I waste my time?
If you want to know more about me, visit me at my new blog... I'm getting back into writing about things that may only interest me, but perhaps that is the best :) Anyhow, check it out:http://www.alexchang.net

My Interests

My left foot. Also, in no particular order, girls, cars, motorsports, sports, food, culture, sushi, music, dancing, RBT, the arts, television, movies, the internet, politics, photography, the gym, the internet, computer hardware, games, damn the list is too long. ......

I'd like to meet:



I would like to meet Oskar Schindler.

On a more realistic note, I would like to meet people that make up figments of my imagination. Imaginary friends are better than real friends, not because they are fake, but rather because they are more real than some of my real friends.

And, I would like to meet anyone who appreciates this song as I do. 6 minutes of pure, unfiltered bliss.
