My First Webpage: The Dynasty Years, back in 1997. Still on Tripod! Haven't touched it since 1999...
Political Compass: -6.13, -6.21 (View the Analysis or Take the Test!)
Music: Dance, Techno, Euro, Industrial. For the most part, I listen to the beat and music, not the lyrics.
Movies: Kung-Fu, Sci-Fi, and Thrillers. Anime is good too.
Hobbies: Enjoy hockey, golf, racquetball, tennis. Practice Shotokan Karate. Play bass guitar; have also played trombone, piano.
Favorite Foods:
  • Japanese -- Tokyo Express makes awesome chicken bowls. Sushi is good too.
  • Spaghetti -- Whole-wheat spaghetti, With tons of ground beef in the sauce, and covered in cheddar cheese.
  • Hamburgers -- Homemade, fresh off the BBQ. Wendy's has nothing on my burgers!
  • Salmon -- A salmon fillet, hold the bones, with a side of soy-sauce-soaked rice, peas, and carrots. I grew up on this!

    and the winner is...
  • Christmas Turkey! Turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy and brussel sprouts and cabbage rolls, oh my!
Blech Foods:
  • Blue cheese -- Cheese is already moldy milk. Does it need to be any more moldy?
  • Mustard -- Anymore than a hint of it is way too much. Except for Dijon. Dijon mustard rocks.
  • Meat Lovers' pizza -- Pizza needs at least one vegetable on it. Meat Lovers is just dry, flavourless pizza soaked in grease.
  • Overbuttered popcorn -- Light Microwave popcorn has the perfect amount of butter; just a hint. Any more and you're just eating butter.
Favorite Movies (Mainstream):
  1. The Matrix / The Matrix Reloaded
    A great sci-fi/action cyberpunk movie, now being made into a trilogy, that brings up philosphical issues into the masses with great yet subtle messages.
  2. Batman Begins
    Christopher Nolan presses the 'reset' button and Christian Bale re-tells the Batman story from the beginning. Dropping the hard-nipple costumes and neon-lit submachine guns of past movies, this version is much truer to the comic books and Bale adds amazing action.
  3. Kill Bill Vol. 1 / Kill Bill Vol. 2
    Quentin Tarantino makes an intense two movies based on cult asian cinematography.
  4. Iron Monkey
    Possibly one of the best martial arts movies of all time; the fight scenes in this film are the best I've seen.
  5. Lost in Translation
    The best movie about nothing; it's like a 100 minute episode of Seinfeld, but with drama.
Favorite Movies (Asian and Cult):
  1. Black Mask
    See Jet Li before he crumbled to pieces by coming to America! And try to get the original release, not the US release with a horrible rap soundtrack.
  2. Who Am I?
    Jackie Chan does another Kung Fu with his comedy signature on it..."Who Am I!?!"
  3. Batman
    Adam West and Burt Ward make the TV Series into movie. Even after watching this 1966 movie dozens of time as a 8-year-old (ask my brother -- it drove him crazy), I'm still watching it now.
  4. Armitage III: Poly Matrix / Armitage: Dual Matrix
    Two underrated cyberpunk animes raise an ethical eyebrow, asking us to define what consciousness is and how we define life.
  5. Gorgeous
    Jackie Chan and Qi Shu (of 'The Transporter' fame) make a good comedy kung-fu with a touch of melodrama. And lots of boxing.
