About Me

[MINDSET:] Artsy-Intellectual-Idiot-Savant. Humorous, at least when I'm not bummed by being lonely. Somewhat of a tree hugger, but a big fan of capitalist markets. As pessimistic as I am optimistic, so pretty balanced (or some may say hypocritical). [THE PHYSICAL PACKAGE:] I tend to bill myself as the world's largest Filipino (to my friends who know the story---"I dun mean to be prejudice or nutin'....but, uh...just what kinda negro are ya?") In attempts to boost my self confidence, I guess I'm pretty good looking, just sporting a bit of spare tire which tends to come and go based on whether or not I'm currently subscribing to the master Atkins plan. Gotta have Rice...after all...I'm one large filipino... [DIVERSIONS:] Like to show off my talents of music, tech, cooking, wit, and can hold my own on the 64 squared battlefield. My newest kick and therapy: Pacific Coast Highway and two wheels. [FAULTS:] I'm truthful. (I mean, who would list their faults??) Biggest downfall is that I'm way too much of a hopeless romantic. Although toned down over the years, I'd still say It's poured on pretty strong. I'm not organized. And I'm currently filling out an online description of myself when I should be getting ready for a tax audit, so one might call me quite the procrastinator.

My Interests

-Music -DVD Piracy -1970's Motorcycles and a few early '80s -Film (Not movies!!! FILM!!) -Foreign Currency Exchange -Using buzzwords as a pretension of knowledge...e.g. Greenspan, Proposition 72, Telomeres, and porn terms like DP or ATP and creampies.

I'd like to meet:

I could use more riding buds. Preferably ones with tools I can't afford. In the romance department, I'm happily married, but flirt with me so I can feel like I still have some appeal, I won't flirt back, but I'll be nice...I'm desperately trying to get back into my music so jazz musicians, hit me up...1.2.3.4.5...heh heh...jazz joke..Also anyone who has an absolute psychotic hatred for any or all of the following companies: AOL, APPLE, KIA, HARLEY-DAVIDSON (or at least their asshole riders, some are cool i guess...), Any company that uses SPAM as a marketing method, AOL-Because they deserve to be hated even more, SIT AND SLEEP/ROBBINS BROTHERS/AL GREENWOOD'S BEDSPREAD KINGDOM/CRAZY GIDEON/THE GENERAL AUTO INSURANCE--you probably already know why...And if not them, at least their fucking advertising agencies.

Music:

Whatever Jack plays. and Jack plays whatever they want...(Secretly, don't tell anyone this, I don't want anybody knowing but uhh...

I'm writing this on the 11th anniversary of your death :( I hate karaoke, but i'm good at it and host it Fridays at the Prospector sometimes...

Movies:

ooooohhhh...don't get me started about movies...here's my reader's digest condensed version of opinion on movies...Hollywood, you've been sucking since somewhere around the early 80's...I've switched to watching primarily Indies and Foreign....Same goes for you San Fernando Valley, you haven't put out any good porn since about '88....shame on you both!!! I'll be hanging out at the Indie, Foreign, Documentary, Anime, and Spirit Award winners sections of NETFLIX!!!!

Television:
