Wings are like crack. I like crack.

About Me

I'm not a complicated person. I like to watch TV, watch movies and read. I love my family and am a proud American. I am also proud to be Chinese, however fractioned. I enjoy learning my father's culture, which I'm slowly taking as somewhat of my own. I think it's important to know and remember where you come from. History is one of my favorite subjects and I've always done good in the class; just ask Kilpatrick. Self-discipline is very hard to practice but I think I do a good job at it; thanks Uncle Sam. I was a US Navy Fire Controlman. No I didn't put out fires, but I was in charge of "firing" the missles, guns and other war capabilities of a Destroyer or Cruiser. I was never stationed on a ship though. I totalled my car and got out early. I'm now on Plan B. I'll explain that for those of you that don't know, sometime.I consider myself a religous person who's still looking for answers.

My Interests

Watching movies and cartoons, drawing, duckhunting, fishing, playing with my kids - especially Kung-Fu fighting with them and computers. I also love to read and write. Ya' know, stories. The Bible is becoming increasingly more interesting to me, especially 1st and 2nd Samuel, and 1st and 2nd Kings. Good guy type stuff.

I'd like to meet:

I'd sooo like to meet:Robert Jordan, Bruce Lee, my Grandfather (Dad's side), Napoleon, George Washington, any member of a Shoalin Monastary, Jesus as a teenager, William Wallace, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawkings, My score on The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test :

Modern, Cool Nerd
(60 % Nerd, 86% Geek, 30% Dork)

For The Record:A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!Congratulations!Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:Buffy the Vampire SlayerProfessional WrestlingLove & SexualityAmerica/Politics

Television:

Sci-Fi Friday; Stargate, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica. Jericho, House, Smallville, Supernatural and Heroes. I watch too much TV.

Books:

Lois L'amour - Last of the Breed; Lloyd Alexander - The Taran Books; Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time, Conan and his military stuff; J.R.R. Tolkien - Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Lost Tales, Silmarillion (still reading); Jeff Shaara - Glorious Cause, Rise to Rebellion (Historical Fiction); Tom Clancy - Without Remorse; David and Leigh Eddings - Belgariad Series, Mallorean Series, Tamuli Series, Ellenium Series, Regina's Song, Neil Gaiman - American Gods.I read too much.

Heroes:

Pop, Grandparents (mom's side), Bruce Lee - I know a cliche, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ira Hayes, Pat Tillman, firefighters and police are some deserving unsung heroes.

As I've moved to West Vir-Freakin-ginia, I've come to grips with the decision and have learned to adapt to the hill-jack way. With that frame of mind, I've decided to trade some things that I enjoyed...
