About Me

I'm a Eur-Asian (50% Chinese, 25% German, and a remaining mix of French, English, Spanish, and Mexican)...yes, the few the proud! ;-) ... Holla back, Hapas! I was born and raised in Austin, TX (though I have traveled quite a bit, so don't think I'm some snobby, "Texas is so great, I don't have to go anywhere else"-person. I'm faithful and young at heart (and age, I like to think). Friends would say I'm definitely optimistic, a joker, honest, and compassionate. Humor can be found in almost any situation, you just have to look for it. Though I know when to be serious too.
I'm a graduate of UT Austin (Hook 'em), majored in Math! Woo hoo! Yea, yea, I know, "yippie, math" (said sarcastically). Don't even ask me to figure out how much after tax and tip you owe... I'm so tired of doing that! Haha. :-P

My Interests

Motorcycles, Philosophy, sports (mainly football and basketball, though soccer's growing on me), shooting pool, the gun range, the water, California fitness (i'm in Taiwan - fools!), eating (SUSHI!!!!), almost anything outdoors, going out and having a good time. One of my first loves is to travel, plus there's no better way to get to know someone than traveling with them!

I'd like to meet:

I'm tired of hypocrites, and people so full of themselves and their own ideas that they don't take the time to learn about (let alone understand) anything that they don't agree with... so for people that I'd like to meet, that leaves: pretty much anyone else

Music:

Anything! Well, almost anything, there are a *select* few country songs that I like... even asian pop - yea, i've succumbed

Movies:

All kinds of movies... kiddie movies, dramas, indie films, action, comedy, documentarys... you name it. Basically whatever suits the mood. Though the ones that never fail are: Shawshank Redemption, Brave Heart, Finding Nemo, LOTR, and any number of 80's flicks

Television:

Not so much for awhile now, but I have an undying enthusiasm for the following: South Park (how can you not love the humor?!), Simpsons, Family Guy, the Daily Show w/Jon Stewart. And whenever I can, I try to watch Chappelle Show, or Nip Tuck (it's one of the few things on TV that can suck me in.... well, besides NFL or NBA games.... but being in Taiwan now, it's kind of hard to see shit at a normal time.

Heroes:

Those who stood (and stand) for something they believe in, truly live, aren't afraid to help others, and inspire....
