we do it for the scars and stories :: not the fame

About Me

i'm tall... asian... and lovable

My Interests

i have so many it's so hard to make a list of them... that is unless i was dared to do it in a certain amount of time... say 43 mins... then i would try my best... but my best is not needed here......i like dogs (though i'm deathly allergic to their fur and one just bit me on my ass not too long ago)... volleyball... mountain sunsets as well as ocean ones (another reason why i moved out to cali)... women... and everything that women have to offer... volleyball... the smell of rubber cement... being witty and then having someone look at me like i'm an A*hole

I'd like to meet:

people who breathe air and don't mind a good fart joke... and ladies we all know you do it... so don't act all embarassed

Music:

i'm born and bred in the suburbs... so i know "Every Rose Has it Thorns" by Poison... rock is good... and so is roll... but only with trance and house music... and please, please don't just say techno as an all-encompassing title for everything electronic... learn the terminology... anyway... i'm getting into Rap again... but any song that has the words "bling" or "bitches" in it makes me sick... so that eliminates about 98% of the stuff on the radio...i love U2... cause they're the greatest band since the Beatles... who are the greatest ever!... and now i'll start just naming music i like... cause the witty remarks are starting to get dumb...creed... AVB... Ben Harper... Black Star... bloc party... switchfoot... Jack Johnson... Sasha & Digweed... Mraz... Mayer... Mars Volta... Postal Service... Coldplay... Coltrane... Monk... anything on the Garden State Soundtrack...

Movies:

OLDBOY is king (and it's not just cause i'm korean like the director... and if you haven't seen it then shame on you!) Shawshank Redemption and Garden State round out the top three. Here are a the rest of the ones i LOVE: Last Tango in Paris, Pulp Fiction, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The 400 Blows, La Strada, Motorcycle Diaries, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Caddyshack, When Harry Met Sally, Citizen Kane, City of God, Love Actually, Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, Abre Los Ojos (aka The Original Vanilla Sky), The Barbarian Invasions, Million Dollar Baby, Talk to Her, the Matrix, Stripes, Lost in Translation, the Royal Tenenbaums...... and the hits keep coming!

Television:

TV's only really good for ESPN, IFC and the Weather Channel... oh and TMC for the classic films as well as the "premiums" for all the newer releases...but the rest of TV pretty much sucks especially now that Dave Chappelle is not on anymore... i am however a fan of those "feel good" reality shows like the Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... it's nice to see people doing things for others.

Books:

"the 5 people you meet in heaven"... "angels and demons" .... "mere christianity".... "the lovely bones".... "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time"...

Heroes:

anyone who strikes a BBoy stance... my parents... Capt. Planet
