I am currently driving up to SF with a friend. I got my laptop and decided to rewrite this intro while arguing about the music selection. I think the moment calls for some bombastic indulgent fun times via Whitney Houston and my friend is calling for music with delicate somber poignancy. Stop reading right now, your dealing a guy who argues about Whitney Houston and use words like ‘bombastic’ and ‘poignancy’. And that’s just the beginning; it only gets worse from here on, get out while you can.

How much worse? Well I are driving up to SF largely to re-stock our high quality Chinese teas. I may move to Japan in six months. I hope to work with a aerospace research group there. Your dealing with a nerdy white rocket scientist. Still interested? I have talked about starting a juice bar, make my own cashew butter, and like baking pies. Sounds pretty damn gay right? Sadly I am tragically heterosexual and can’t find women who appreciate my passionate eccentricities and irreverent humor. At least not here in L.A.

I have a motorcycle that I road exclusively for my first 3 years in LA. Now its main use is to fulfill my joy of long rides down dust sun parched desert roads with no particular destination in mind. I have a 1956 Oldsmobile that has been equated to my girlfriends. I grow (or try to grow) my own vegetables in my back yard. I have a collection of chiles from around the world that I grew last year. I have been to 11 country. I make sure I travel someplace new every year. I enjoy people, engaging them on every level; emotionally, mentally and physically. I can't pretend to like people. if I don't like you, you will know it in 2 second. But as long as you don't defile my love of tea, fruit, and chocolate I am very accepting.

Right now, even though I am finishing up my PhD at USC and working fulltime, I am taking some classes for fun at SMC. currently I am trying to learn japanese and taking a creative writing class. why not! I figure knowledge is the one thing no one will ever be able to take away from you.

I am trying to safe the world. But for now I am just working, living, enjoying life... simply trying to figure it all out.

I can fix anything, which is good because I break everything. I am good at being uniquely unoriginal. I can skate backwards better than I can forwards. And I can eat faster then anyone I know.

I am pensive. My mind is constantly working and it shows.

I killed my TV and reveal in it absence! This Last couple of months I have read a lot. I discovered Ayn Rand. I finished reading the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Sense have moved on to read The Road, Pillars of the Earth, Norwegian Wood, 1894, Brave New World, The Great Gastby, to name a few. These days I read about a book a week.

I could watch movies all day and talk about them all night. Some of my favorites are The Princess Bride, anything by Hayao Miyazaki or Wong Kar Wai, samurai movie, especially mid day when there is nothing better to do...

Right now I am going through a musical revolution. I would fancy myself an indie kid. Recently however while embarking on some long drive or another, my summer intern, asked "what the hell happened to you that causes you to listen to such sad bastard music. you seem like a pretty happy guy. this music just doesn't fit you." The point was taken. I have recently been searching for music that better suits my perpetual good mood.

My favorite foods is Japanese and good Italian. I have also never said no to a burrito.

Adventure, a break from the monotony, the touch of another human being, laughter, simulating conversation, 80's music (stop judging me!)

The destruction of our planet. The collapsing economy. Sub-prime mortgages. The war in Iraq. The incompetency of our society and the leaders who run it. The declining moral standards and degradation of our values. The cruelty of man and the atrocities he commits against his brother... and the zombie apocalypse.

Dinner, movie, maybe going out with some friends. Hopefully meeting someone new.

I have a fantasy involving Jello and a hand puppet. Are you sure you wanna know more?

If making carrot/cantaloupe juice, eating dark Belgium chocolate, seeing a symphony then building a pillow fort sound like your idea of a good time, then you're ridiculous. We hope to hear from you.
