About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'm not a snob just because it took me forever to join myspace.I'm a slow talking, open-minded, genuine, Japanese Dude.I'm a sucker for good music, beats, and lyrics. Music keeps me sane during my most stressful hours!As I approach the age of dayammm...30, it's apparent that life has become easier. Although there are still a few/many missing pieces in my life, I've never been so content. Whether it's spending some QT with my girl, chillin' with the folks, or catching up with family; everything in life is finally beginning to make sense to me.So as I approach 30, I've made a pact with myself...to enjoy life to the fullest (as if I wasn't turning 30) and to never lose touch with those who have shaped me and made me a wiser person.I guess that's why msypace make sense to me now.Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. – Mahatma Gandhi"Kenji" by Mike Shinoda of Fort Minor. A song I would dedicate to my family all the other Japanese Americans living in the internment camps during WWII.
