I'm a puzzle yet not, I'm Asian but born and raised fairly well american, my accent varies from you're typical arena announcer to midwestern cowboy. I'm open minded to the world, but my political and religious ideas are set in stone.

Eh, Enough of the playing around.

I'm a 3rd yr at UF majoring in Psych and minoring in Japanese. I was born Thai and grew up speaking English. Since high school I've been studying Japanese, and while I'm normally too much a nervous wreck to sound like I know Japanese (when talking in Japanese of course)...put me in a chat room, or give me something to sub and I'll be just fine.

I'm a pretty straight forward guy to figure out (the top part is more fluff than anything), and I'm easy to get along with. I always prefer to by smiling, happy, and content. And I'll always try to make sure that whoever I'm with, feels just that exact same way. Those who like to fight and have something to hold over each others heads need not apply.

As for interests, outside of Japanese things, Asia in general...especially my home country of Thailand, cooking, racquetball, transportation (yeah...nerdy I know...but I can't help it :-p), and a lot of other things that run the gambit.

Oh and, I'm very much an environmentalist, or more so I should say "modern environmentalist." Everything I touch that I know is recyclable will be recycled, I turn off lights, computers, I even unplug my cell phone charger when its not in use. I'm not perfect, but I do as much as I can to be sustainable within reason.

I plan on graduating in Dec of 2011 and heading on down to Broward College to train to become an Air Traffic Controller. Once I get my certificate and apply, there's going to be some lag time as I wait for a position to open up w/ the FAA...in that down time, I'm heading to Japan to teach English.

Figuring how people work, planning anything (life, travel, etc), being green, explaining complicated ideas and concepts.

I'm Asian :-p

Books: not too many, I'm more a wikipedia, info reader. Anything practical, I'll have to read once. Travel guides are a favorite of mine. I'm always open to suggestion for good novels however.

Shows: Family Guy, Gaki no Tsukai, Lincoln, Modern Marvels, How It's Made. I don't watch too much prime TV. I own a big TV...but I'm mostly on my computer.

Movies: Lots of Japanese ones, Okuribito (Departures), Linda Linda Linda, Cha no Aji (The Taste of Tea), lots of Miyazaki films. I'm always up for a film in a foreign language.

Music: The New Pornographers, The Beatles, Joy Division, tons of classic rock (ie: Boston, Journey, REO Speedwagon) and a lot of Japanese music (mostly Base Ball Bear and Spitz with some Pillows and Kimura Kaera thrown in).

Food: Anything really. Long as it smells good and tastes good, I'm in. I love cooking and I specialize in Japanese and American cuisines. But I make just about anything!

Computers, Internet, Someone to talk to, Good food, A sense of humor, Life goals.

Japanese, Japanese comedy, how to subtitle Japanese comedy, life in general, life plans, new recipes to try out, how to get better a racquetball (I play 3x a week normally).

It runs the gambit: from work, to parties (crazy ones or just quaint get togethers), or just chillin at home and healing up after a long week. All I know is that it's almost always planned out a few days in advanced.

I still pull out your mom jokes...albeit...to anyone who knows me, that's not so much a private thing.

-want clarification on anything here!
-you want to talk about Japanese Comedy!
-like talking about politics and how much libertarianism sucks!
-want to comment on how each of of these lines starts with a hyphen, lower case letter, and ends with an exclamation point!
