1. My name is John. Yeah yeah it's a white boy's name, but I like it. It's short it's simple, it's named after a toilet, and it's a four letter word. I'm like the 20th John in generations of my family.
2. I'm a half-breed. Not a mix but a GENYUUWHINE half-breed. To me half-breed isn't a derogatory term. Look at dogs, mutts are much more healty than "pure breds". I'm almost a mule except for the fact I can reproduce (I hope so anyhow, I hope I'm not sterile =p) I'm half Filipino and half White. My white side has Irish and German and a smidgen of Prussian. My Filipino side is whatever country decided to rape in the Phillippines history.
3. I sleep in the nude when I can. Right now I'm living with two other people so it's boxers in bed for me.
4. I was born on December 9th, 1979. I hate my birthday sometimes. The day I turned 8 a poor little 12 year old girl named Jenny got hit by a drunk driver and put into a coma. The doctors didn't expect her to survive. Somehow miraculously she revived but all she could do was blink her eyes to let the rest of the world know that her brain wasn't all moogeyed up. She still has motor skill problems to this day and when I think of my birthday I can't but think of Jenny... Oh, and she's also a celebrity of sorts, if you read the same books as I.
5. I was born in Rapid City, South Dakota. And since then I've lived in 3 different continents. My father works for the State Department so before I graduated I had to move around about every 3 years. It kinda sucks cause I always have to make new friends and well... the truth is I hate people. People say I'm a nice guy but that's really only to my friends. I guess the worlds lucky I got a lot of friends ^_-
6. I was the fat annoying kid that would eat paper in Middle School. I would moon the upperclassmen (our middleschool and highschool were considered one back in Germany). I did it to protect myself. I mean christ, what would you do if you were a guy and had boobies at the age of 12? =p I really don't think many people liked me in Middle School but I don't blame them. Well, after Middleschool I discovered being a human being can get you the favors of women =p So I think I'm a nicer guy now.
7. I'm circumcised.
8. I'm a Catholic. I like being Catholic too, I'm not the most devout in the world but I try to adhere to the religion. I find meaning in the ceremony and mass. I know that others don't and that's why I'm not very evangelical. I don't think Catholicism is the only way to find meaning and faith in something holy either. I just like my religion.
10. I read a lot. I mean A LOT. I grew up on books being the alienated fat kid in Middleschool =p At first it was just Hardy Boy books back when I was 6 but then I started reading anything I could get my hands on. Be it Greek, Norse, or Chinese Mythology or kiddie fantasy books like the Chronicles of Narnia (which I still read at least once a year), I would suck it up like a sponge. Fiction is so great, it let me escape
Here are some authors that spark my interest:
Piers Anthony
Robert Heinlan
Stephen King (he's so underated, he does much more than Pulp Horror, but besides, what's wrong with that? =p
Dean Koontz
R. A. Salvatore
11. Music is one of the most important things to me. It gets me going and motivates me. My most favoritestest music in DA HO WIDE WORLD is Punk Rock. You can read about why that is HERE. I can't say I like EVERY kind of music out there, but I try to listen to stuff that don't suck. And what sucks? Usually pre-packaged crap that targets a certain audience (but wait what about punk rock? WHAT ABOUT PUNK ROCK HA HA HA =p little Anti-Flag joke there ^^). So what bands do I like then? Too many to name, but I cycle through a lot of stuff so here's a taste of what I like:
Ten Foot Pole
Dropkick Murphys
Alkaline Trio
Yellow Card
The Ataris
Lagwagon
Screeching Weasel
Unwritten Law
L'arc En Ciel
Glay
Judy and Mary
Yoko Kano
The Yellow Monkey
Swingin Utters
Incubus
Primus
Faith No More
Deftones
Snot
Rush
They Might Be Giants
And LOTS more ^_^
12. My most favorite food on earth is chili. Chili is the food of the gods. It's spicy, it's meaty, it's beany, and it goes great with rice and cheese. Real rice mind you, none of the Unky Ben's crap.
13. I love kids. I want to have 8 when I get older. One named John and the rest will have Japanese names. Kids to me are the most wonderful thing on earth, for they are innocent and always say what they mean. I'm not saying EVERYONE should be a parent. When Keanu Reeves played that one guy in parenthood, he said a line that was the only coolest thing he's ever said. And it was this: You need a liscence to drive, a liscence to hunt, hell you even need a liscence to fish. But any asshole can be a dad...
