About Me

ABOUT ME

Ummm, what do I say without sounding vain or conceided? I guess I'll start with facts. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, which I feel has given me a very liberal and open understanding of things. I usually don't see things as black and white, and perhaps not even grey, but in color. Doesn't mean I'm perfect though. I have my moments of irrationality and stubborness. But perhaps those moments are a little more rare... or at least I try to make them as rare as possible. I'm also a Water Dog (according to the Chinese Zodiac. Not in real life). I go with the flow, can fill any cup, can move around objects or even break through them if enough force is behind it, and that is paired with loyality and friendliness to a fault at times. And i guess if you really need to know more about me, you can just ask me yourself :)

PHILOSOPHY

Someone else says it better than I can:
“Empty your mind, be formless… shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend…” - Bruce Lee

Interests

I think I'm inflicted with a disease, that makes me interested in waaay too many things. But who's to say that's a bad thing? If I had to make a short list of things, this would be it (in no particular order): i grew up on Disney, so I love anything Disney. I've been to Disneyland more times than i have appendages (helped by the fact that I used to work for Disney, and I'm always fiendin' to go again, even if I just left). I also love the world of Harry Potter. I love art, making art, love music, making music, love to try new things, love the Oakland A's, love gadgets, love sports, love playing sports, love to cook and make sweets, love to learn, love my friends, love etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm just going to say "most"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is something I wish I had a hard time thinking of because I couldn't choose between a myriad of amazing stuff my eyes have witnessed, not, because I have a hard time remembering because their so few and far between. But if I were to pinpoint a couple of things, I would say the blue grottos on the island of Capri, Italy.. scuba diving in Hawaii.. and just general moments in life where I felt complete and utter content beyond reason.. sometimes triggered by a sunset, the temperature, or a memory, or all of the above.

Teach, Learn, Share

I went to school for animation, and been doing art ever since i could dip my finger in some paint. So I'd love to share my knowledge with anyone who is interested in animation and arts of all kinds. Also, would love to learn and share knowledge on cooking, music, sciences, history, dancing etc. I'm up to learn almost anything.
