Some things look better inside of the store.

About Me

I'm half Vietnamese half Filipino with lots of French mixed in on the Vietnamese side. Music is my passion. Ahh music, delicious music. There's more but, ehhh, who cares.

My Interests

I enjoy listening to and playing music (guitar, bass, piano and drums), songwriting (still working on this though, need to find my groove), Tea!, Traveling to different parts of the world (want to visit Japan again, and really want to visit England), shopping--always down for Georgetown (I hear Tysons has a (Sub)Urban Outfitters now :P ), weekend trips to NYC, being able to laugh in or about an otherwise bad situation, being able to laugh about dumb shit in general, The Washington Redskins, German Shepherds, Good conversation with friends or random people.
I do not enjoy people who drive the speed limit in the passing lane (and then speed up when you try to pass them), spider crickets!, when people don't use their turn signals, messy burgers that drip sauce all over your hands as the patty slowly slips out, opinionated closed-minded people, popped collars, people who think they're street racers and put large obnoxious looking rear wings on their 105HP (front wheel drive) Civics which as a result makes the car look like a shopping cart, when people who don't know shit and (don't wanna know) go out of their way to question why you question things (did that make sense? I hope that didn't sound too bitter).

I'd like to meet:

John Lennon, George Harrison, Bruce Lee, Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix, Fran Healy, Jonny Greenwood, Morrissey, Damien Rice and Judah Nagler are some that come to mind (Although I don't believe I'll be meeting the first half in this lifetime).

In general, people who are not content with "default" and have something interesting to say. People with depth who can still enjoy a good dick and fart joke.
