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):
- 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.
- 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.
- Kill Bill Vol. 1 / Kill Bill Vol. 2
Quentin Tarantino makes an intense two movies based on cult asian cinematography.
- 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.
- 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):
- 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.
- Who Am I?
Jackie Chan does another Kung Fu with his comedy signature on it..."Who Am I!?!"
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
