About Me

I'm graphic designer, photographer, sometimes interior designer, 50's R&B DJ "Mikezilla" check me out at Japanese Rebel Night. I have been training martial arts for about 15 years from which last 6 years I've been training Lak Sao Châ€™uan Fa Lohan Lao Zhâ€™uan Zhang Yin Shi Pa Kua family system. Every day I feel like a beginner :) Traveling is my passion, I lived in North Africa for 2 years, met great people there so anybody who says shit about Arabs can go and fuck themself. In the matter of fact anybody who says shit about people of other culture or color can do the same. My advice is: travel a lot, meet people and realize that everybody is the same, maybe faith and cultural background is not but everybody has the same problems. What else I can say about myself...social animal who like to make people laugh till they cry, I know that this is little sadistic... little pain would not hurt :) What else? I'm a hopeless romantic and a gentlemen to the bone. Savoir-vivre is an art form that you can learn but to be a gentlemen you have to have it in your blood. Where are the days when opening doors, greeting woman by kissing their hands was a norm? Try to do that now... they would take you as a pervert. :) I do have to say that I love women, of all colors and their beauty puts smile on my face every morning. value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bZdfJpX_-Wc" /> ....> .. width="425" height="350">.. ..>
