I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a simple man with simple tastes but very complex thoughts. Trust me, it's not a good thing. I claim Seattle, Honolulu, the whole state of Louisiana (the dirtiest of the Dirty South), and New York City as home. Yet, for one reason or another, I can never rest long in one for missing the others. Perhaps being a vagabond suits my wandering mind. Somehow, I just kind of showed up in Colorado, and so far I like what I see. I'm likely the most sociable introvert that you'll ever meet. Confused? So am I. No task is too big, no journey is too long, no girl is too confusing for me to take up the challenge. Right now, I'm just working, going to school (still in Hawaii...it's a crazy commute), and trying to survive in a whole new ghetto. I read a lot, but I'm trying to quit...it's an ugly habit that seems to take up all of my time. I try to sit back and enjoy myself whenever life slows down enough. I'm actually still waiting for that day to come. I have a feeling it'll be a Thursday. I'm thinking that's about all you really need to know....

My Interests

Who knew that bowling could be so gangster?The fellas, always down to bring the ruckus. You know how we do....I never thought I would say this, but I'm officially off the market. I think that I picked well, if I say so myself.Me and the hardest-working munchkin in show businessI'm not exactly sure why I tried to 'thug-up' this picture with my mom and my aunt. Really. I have no idea.Me and Brendan at his Green Beret Commencement Ceremony. Now he can kick butt in English AND in Chinese.Me and the Asian at NationalsMe and Jordan at the Green Sand beach at South Point, Hawaii. No, seriously look - the sand is green.No matter how far I go, I just have to follow the lights to get back home....

I'd like to meet:

People smarter than me so I can learn, people less smart than me so I can feel smart, and potential babies' mamas. That pretty much includes anyone and everyone....

Music:

I'm well-rounded like that. Pretty much anything that's got a beat, honestly. Earth, Wind, and Fire (dig it...), Latin music, sneak in some other ethnic music in there, and I'm happy. Lately, I've been listening to Public Enemy, Tupac, Nas, and Immortal Technique, 'cause they know how to drop some science on a brotha.

Movies:

I like movies where I don't walk out feeling dumber than when I walked in. Suspense movies are more my thing, because they give you time to figure things out, but then still surprise you in the end. I'm big on European film, although don't ask me to comment on the cinematography afterwards...I was probably too busy reading the subtitles. I like movies that force you to change your perspective...to step out of your comfort zone to understand the characters. Like Super Troopers. I know...profound. Oh yeah, and pretty much anything that plays at the Dollar movie theater.

Television:

Who's got time for TV? Why watch other people live when you can be doing it yourself?*Note: These are the opinions expressed of someone that doesn't have cable.

Books:

The kind that come with a box of crayons. Kidding. Or am I? I like fiction that holds a social or political moral, like Animal Farm or 1984 (that book scared the bajeezus out of me). Right now, I'm reading a book called the Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon, and also a book on political ideologies and their underlying problems.

Heroes:

When it comes down to it, the people that I admire the most are the people that don't let fear run their lives. These are the people that create change, that see past the smokescreen of the unknown, and build bridges between our world of limited understanding and other centers of diverse knowledge.

Fellowship of the Unashamed

After reading the passage below, it made me question many things about my goals, the power of my faith in anything, and where I really am on the road to being who I want to be. My thoughts are to...

Again, a new Top 8

For those of you who actually pay enough attention to this kind of thing to be alarmed, I've just completely revamped my top 8. I know that those of you that were on it before are thinking, "What happ...

Seattle and Hawaii, Ends and Beginnings

I just returned to the island after a really good trip to Seattle. I can't explain how great it was to be back home, with the people that have known me since before I was the cooled-out brotha that ev...

Old dogs and new tricks

For the last few months, I've been stunting with my good (but very tiny...legally a dwarf) friend Kehau, who has made it her most intense ambition to become the newest member of the UH Cheerleading Te...

Ah Man!

What are the odds? My moped broke and my computer crashed on the same day! If just one of these things had happened, it would be really sad, but both of them happening is actually kind of funny....I'l...

Finally falling into place?

Well, I've been working for a couple months now, trying to keep the cash flow movin' and all that. But a brotha's been close to scrapin' bottom a couple times now. It's no secret, my baller-ism has no...

Back to Basics

Well, it's about time for me to get back to basics. For a long time, I've been wrapped up in trying to make other people happy. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. The only problem is that I start to fo...

A Set Up?

I'll admit, I don't know WHAT is going on! Since I've been on MySpace, I keep on getting messages from freakin' hot girls all over the U.S....some of them just want to chat, and others are telling me ...

Hmmm....this is different.....

Well, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and it's the first time that I haven't had to get stressed out about it in 6 years. I almost don't know how to act. I guess that I'm just now really figuring out wha...
