About Me


I'm a mutt; meaning I'm a child of two races (Chinese and German descent). I never felt like either of anyone, so I enjoy this middle ground of just existing without being in a particular category. I can't really tell you who I am as a person, because I really don't know...at least anymore, or maybe I never knew. But I'll tell you what people have said about me. Some have been known to call me an asshole, but these are also the same people that say at times I'm one of the sweetest people in the world...go figure. They say I'm outgoing, not shy, a little perverted; that I want to rebel, but in reality I follow the rules. Hmm...me in a nutshell? Not even close...I'm learning everyday to let go of the things I cannot control and just enjoy life. I'm a happier person because of it and I am learning to be just me. I work everyday to be a better person than the last day. There is a lot more that meets the eye with me, but then again, that's the way it is with most people. And as someone once told me: Be happy and have fun! It's not the end of the world!
Do you know why I still have this posted up? Think about it...

My Interests

Most of what I am going to list is generic...I mean, hey, who doesn't like these things? And if you don't agree, then you're stupid and I don't like you, so there!

Things I like to do:

*people-watching
*going to concerts, a bar, a club, etc.
*going to the movies, play, etc.
*trying out new restaurants, especially the exotic ones
*traveling...I am even willing to go alone now. (think about it, that's a big deal)
*developing my self-awareness and self-worth :P

I ride my bike when I can, but honestly not enough. In general I am willing to go to just about anything that sounds interesting to me. Unfortunately, I have to pick and choose what I can do because of my busy schedule (Gots to pay them bills and also make me a learn'd man!). Kind of dicks up my social life. I just want to have fun and live. School is fun in certain ways too.

For some reason, I'm addicted to my iPod, I don't know why, I don't question it. It's too much fun, now I walk around with my life's soundtrack playing in my ears.

It might not be the highest class, but it is my Favorite drink:

My boss turned me on to this tequila:

BEST QUOTE FROM A MOVIE THAT I COULD REALLY USE IN LIFE:"It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party." -- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
