PAINTBALL, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, body boarding, reading, cooking, sleeping, RPG games, writing, bowling, darts, billiards, swimming, hanigng with my friends, drinking japanese sake, taking random pictures with my camera, watching people do strange things even though I am sitting next to them, trying new foods (aside from cucumbers, corn, uni, and natto..man I hate that stuff!!), ONSEN trips, travleling, walking around a town and just seeing whats there, talking to elderly people and hearing cool stories they have to share, sharing my cool stories with my friends, laughing while my students try to be "sly" in my classes reading comics or on thier phones thinking that I am oblivious to them although I pulled that same crap in High school, BBQs, mahjong, did I mention PAINTBALL?
Looking to meet lots more people from just about anywhere! I do want to find more friends from home in Hawaii cause a lot of mine have left the islands for various reasons. Looking for people that like to do things that are active and fun. But I wouldnt mind a simple chat or conversation as well. Id rather meet people that are not worried about being "in" but rather being themselves. People that will also accept me for who I am, a semi old guy thats just out to have fun and make sure his friends do too.

My two heros are my Grandfather and Father. Although I was a punk kid when I was growing up, and thought they were never around for me, I realized how much they affected my life after graduation from the University. They worked hard to make my life full of new experiances, broaden my horizons and enrich me in culture and moral dignity. I am proud to be who I am because of them and thank them from the bottom of my heart. I hope that I can make them proud of the person I have become now and who I will be when I pass my name on too.
