Familia, amigos, amigas, jogar CAPOEIRA!!!, ANIME (NARUTO, MACROSS, COWBOY BEBOP, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO, NHK ni youkoso, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya), video games...old school Street Fighter II!!!, music...especially UK Hardcore!!!, B Movies, movies, almost anything that is entertaining. Oh...not too big on swimming great distances, I almost drowned in the summer of 2003 in Hawai'i swimming for that damn wall that's connected to the pier on Waikiki bitch. I had to be towed back to shore. Sad, huh? Love Brasil...can't wait to go back in 2006 (it didn't happen). I like to travel a lot, now. I've been to quite a few places...inside and outside the US. So far Hawai'i; Tokyo; Japan; Salvador, Brasil; Paris, Florence and Rome, Italy have been the best places for me. I like to mentally mess with my students' heads. For instance, there was a final being taken and this one person (not naming names) was finished with their test. I took it from *bleep* and *bleep* started talking to a friend. And of course there's NO talking during tests in my class, so what I did was I took a blank scantron and said, "Hey *bleep*, 'you get a zero'" and I ripped up the blank scantron. And of course everyone in the room was quiet after that one. HAHAHAHA!!!
People. Cartoon characters. Your mom. I don't really care who I meet. Just as long as they're not annoying. I prefer meeting people who are intelligent, but at the same time dumb. Mature, at the same time immature. People who are fun to hang out with, without having to spend $100 at a club. Non materialistic people. People who wanna change the world on a grand scale. Cool artists, but not those mellow-dramatic ones...I swear those kind of people are weird. I don't care too much for celebs. It'd be fun to meet girls too. But how often do you really meet someone through an internet site? I mean c'mon, do people really use myspace to meet up with each other. If so, it hasn't worked for me. I'm really diggin' redheads now...ah...the exotic white girl. Hehehe...
I'm really big on UK HARDCORE...actually I LOVE it...you can say whatever you want about it. :P* I also like the Dutch Soccer Hooligan music known as GABBER!!! Diggin' SPEEDCORE and Drum and Bass (DJ Hype, DJ Zinc, DJ SS, MC Skibadee, MC ?). Hip Hop (no radio stuff please...) and House are coo. Trance is like...whatever...well I guess if it has vocals, it ain't so bad. Downtempo is coo...I need to hear more of it. OH...Capoeira music is THE SH*T!!!!!!!! You need to hear 3 berimbaus, and a ladainha being sung.
Dang...I have a lot of favorites...off the top of my head...The Last Samurai
The Warriors: "Can you dig it??????????????????????????"
The LOTR Trilogy: "You cannot wield it. The one ring aaaaanswers to Sauron alone...it haas no other maaaster"
Science Channel (Cosmos), History Channel (Modern Marvels, In Search of History), Discovery Channel (Extreme Engineering, Monster House), Animal Planet's "Most Extreme Animals", Xtreme Elimination Challenge (AKA: Takeshi's Castle), Naruto, Tom and Jerry, Powerpuff Girls, South Park, Jamie Kennedy Experiment, and whatever good anime comes out on TV. Everything else on TV is trash...
Arrrghghh...I don't like reading all that much. The only reading I do is the ones required for my classes. I actually like the books that Paul Fleischman writes. I've only read two, "Seedfolks" and "Whirligigs," but they are REALLY good books. He writes more for the teenaged group, but they are books that people of older ages can relate to.
I don't really have any heroes....wait...that one guy who towed me back to shore when I almost died. Thanks a bunch...wherever you are!!!
Oh yea...Super Mario and Kirby are my heroes, too!!!
