About Me

I was born and raised here in Hawaii. 4th gen nikkeijin..
I live a block from the beach. I gotta go more often..
Inspired by people who get by against all odds..
Natural highs from good times..
I somehow get paid to offer my point of view..
Motivated by the droves of ignorant others..
Fighting to keep food on the table and a roof overhead..
Enjoy solving problems, making things better, while keepin' it simple..
Confident that I can tackle whatever endeavors I pursue --
but keep in mind, I pick my battles real well.
86 on the back burner..
New two-wheeled project on the move..

Music:

The iPod's full of rock, pop, punk and breaks from the '80s, hip hop from the early '90s, and jazzy downtempo from this decade. The music brings back memories of people, places, and unforgettable experiences...

Movies:

Newer stuff: Garden State, Sideways, Napoleon Dynamite, Coach Carter.. Foreign: Kung Fu Hustle, Returner, Naked Weapon, Nobody Knows, Young and Dangerous.. Timeless Classics: Breakfast Club, Pulp Fiction, Sixteen Candles, Risky Business, Top Gun, and a Japanese movie series from the early '90s called "TRIAL" on top of a gazillion others.. Oh, and the HK-produced 'initial D' live action movie was dope.. F&F better step up or stop trying.. Jus says that they forgot the 4-throttle sound effects though, haha.. Yes, Netflix rocks..

Television:

TV??

Books:

Grisham, Crichton, Clancy, Coelho, et.al..
also, a slew of periodicals that keep me up on the world around me..

Heroes:

My grandparents, my mom & dad, and everyone I've met that was smart enough, daring enough, or lucky enough to follow their dreams..
