About Me

DO NOT ADD ME WITH YOUR SEX WEBCAM SPAMERY. I WILL REPORT YOU.
I'm a frenchie/chinkie/viet. I don't know kung fu but I can leg press 800lbs. I'm quiet but not shy. I like weird things and enjoy awkward moments.
I like art, independent music, artsy films, and vintage elegant automobiles.
I just moved to Pico Rivera from Cerritos in order to cut my commute by half since I work in Downtown LA. So far people here are very nice; my next-door neighbor gives me fresh salmon since he goes sea-fishing with his fishing club every month!
I frequently go to rock concerts and rock shows. I'm an avid beach goer although I don't really swim in the waters, I have become darkishly tanned ever since.
I walk a lot, whether in downtown or a small town, as a little adventure to find independent eateries, restaurants, coffeehouses and vintage clothing stores and other specialty shops. I practically submerge myself in bohemian utopias. If you wanna join me in this adventure, come aboard!

9.26.07: The Yosemite camping and hiking experience is the most intense this year: bizarre weather changes from hail/snow to bright sunshine, bear encounters everyday (and night), and fierce winds during the difficult climb to the top of Lembert...

9.17.07: I am devastated to learn that the price to operate the classic limousine Benz is exhorbintly costly. Not only does the big V8 engine consumes at a rate of 11 mpg (worse than I thought), but the cost of maintenance is quite damaging to my wallet, mainly because replacement parts are extremely hard to find for a 25-30 year old German car. I think I'm gonna leave this car for Sunday drives only.
4.17.07: I had some Grey Poupon with my lunch today, then I thought about the commercial which was classic:
3.27.07: It's all over the news, some freakish storm hit L.A. and resulted in downed power lines, collapsed trees, and structural damages throughout. I came home and find myself a victim of damaged property: my garden plants and bushes destroyed, tree limbs broken off, roof shingles blown away, my exotic wood patio blinds destroyed. The patio roofing is vintage 1950's, now it's damaged because a section was blown off.My vintage house, that once stood beautifully, is now left in shambles, littered with debris ranging from piles of broken tree limbs to piles of inorganic trash. The same goes for the entire neighborhood; a large tree collapsed and fell onto a sidewalk, narrowly missing my neighbor's house across the street. I guess things could have been worse. I am pissed, but calm. I will call insurance and assess the damages. I bet it's going to be thousands.
2.13.07: Saw this on TV and thought it was hilarious. Poor Scottish warrior!
Scotland, 1314:
1.28.07: I am moving and it's about time! It is a restored 50's styled house with original fixtures and flare of this period. Here is a TV commercial from the era...
Colgate 3 Way Clean:
1.1.07: Happy New Year! It's been awhile since I've last posted something in the miniblog, perhaps that's how boring my life is. Anyway, here are my favorite music videos:
MAE - Summertime:
The Used - Taste of Ink:
Boards Of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy:
8.12.06: Tonight I exchange a few words with MAD TV's Aries Spears when I walked by him at the Improv in Brea. It was the most insignificant conversation ever...
Me: (nodded my head when he looked at me) How you doing?
Aries: Doin' aight man, how bout'yourself?
Me: pretty good.
Then I continued walking pass by him to seat myself down to a table. I wasted a chance to engage in a more significant chat and to ask better questions than "how are you doing?". What a waste huh?
7.25.06: Well I've been going to the beach like twice a week, using my $12 tube of SPF 40 block, but I'm getting really dark now. What gives?
7.14.06: Gotta pack tonight...I'll be in San Fransisco for a few days. So for those of you coming to the recording studio, it'll be closed =P.
6.19.06: Well today I'm starting what's called a miniblog; it's a short blog that goes right here without using a blogger such as Xanga. Enjoy!
