makes me sad: aspca commercials, broken legs

most humbling moment: the first time I understood I was Asian, and therefore different

into: mma-a true combat sport. total respect for all those who put on the gloves. pool-something that I can play until they put me in the ground architecture-absolute art. whether I love it or hate it, it is a pure form of art. cooking-I'm always learning, there's always something new and exciting to try.

makes me happy: ferrets-little balls of 'make my shitty day better' barbecue-it's cooking when it's warm outside punk rock music-the ever-evolving sound of youth and change.
