About Me

Half Chinese, half Other. Sarcastic, creative, opinionated, some would say witty, most would say honest, I might say sometimes to a fault. I'm blessed with good friends, a fast metabolism, and occasional luck that I am at a complete loss to explain. I know fuck all about football, baseball, and/or basketball, and am not at all interested in learning.

What makes me happy:
Good drink
Good food
More good drink
My friends near and far
Good conversation
The sound of a well-tuned motor
The smell of burning race gas
Books
Beauty, inside and out, be it people, places, or things
A broken television
Fireplaces
Fucking about in foreign countries
Getting home as the sun rises

Steve McQueen once said, "I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth." Cheers, Steve.
