About Me

I love life, and I love living it to the fullest. I don't want to be an old man one day and say "What if this" or "What if that." I want to enjoy every moment and do everything I can. I live for the people around me too. My friends and family mean the world to me. I enjoy being with others and making people smile. This life is so short...we need to live every moment with passion. Do everything. Go everywhere. Live hard and love hard. Make the most of life!1 Corinthians 13 - LoveIf I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

My Interests

Where to begin...I enjoy everything from sports to acting. I am very active in my athletics. I train in Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts. I am also serious about my soccer. I love real futbol....our team is undefeated. We won the CASA Championship 8-1. Blackstar is a great team. Running, tennis, golf...I love all sports. Acting, modeling, and singing are also very big passions for me. I have been involved in these since I was a little kid. Now that I have finished my undergraduate and graduate work, I am working on moving out to Los Angeles (if it has not been obliterated by a horrible earthquake) to pursue my acting career. Traveling is also a very big part of my life, especially recently. I lived in Osaka, Japan and I miss it very much. I love to explore the world, and there is so much to see. My interests may seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum, but that part of what life is about...enjoying everything.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone really. You never know how a person will impact your life. A stranger could help you find a simple moment of happiness or even your purpose in life. Whether a person is a best friend or a lover, everyone was a stranger to you at one point in time. It would be a pleasure to meet anyone.

Music:

I listen to all types of music basically. Most of the time you will find me singing along to some sort of Rock/Soft Rock. And of course I move between the old and new. I listen to groups like Three Doors Down, Disturbed, Garth Brooks, Third Eye Blind, Asian Kung Fu Generation, Mr. Children, and Goo Goo Dolls as well as the classics like Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Paul Simon, and the Beatles. I love my music.

Movies:

I do take pride in my movies as well. My favorites are Pulp Fiction, Snatch, Rain Man, Kill Bill 1/2, Last Samurai, Matrix, Fight Club, Zatoichi, Kung Fu Hustle, Montey Python (Anything), and any of Mel Brook's stuff. Yeah...definitely a guy's list of movies. Heh Heh...

Television:

Where would I be without my ever faithful TV at 3AM when I'm trying to sleep. I watch everything from Family Guy to The Shield and 24. If I'm watching TV, I'm usually watching cartoons or a good movie. I love series, but its too hard to watch them with such a busy schedule. I NEED TIVO!

Books:

I like fiction novels, comedy, and philosophy. Lately I have read a good bit of samurai novels, like James Clavelle's Shogun and Tales of the Otori. I enjoy books like The Oath, Musashi Miyamoto, and anything with some good action or suspense.

Heroes:

Bruce Lee. Not just because he was quite possibly the coolest person to ever live...but because of the way he lived. He found his life's passion, he pursued his dreams, and he pushed himself beyond what anyone else had ever done. Bruce did exactly what everyone needs to do to truly live, he knew himself. He devoted himself, lived hard, and he bacame a legend. "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." ~Bruce Lee~
