I'm only doing this because I'm astronomically bored right now, cold and rainy weather being no bueno.
1. The nickname Chocolate Bear was bestowed upon me by one of my mates who watched the show "Scrubs" A LOT. It kind of stuck and I don't mind it.
2. I've lived in Japan for the past 5 years.
3. Aside from Japan, I've bummed around Asia a bit, visiting Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the Phillipines, and it's all been awesome and eye opening.
4. I didn't get my first tattoo until around 3 year ago. However, go big or go home I suppose because my first one was my sleeve on my left arm.
5. I have a relatively muscular build, but I'm not a skinny guy that got bigger, I was a fat kid (almost 300 lbs) until around 7 years ago, when I started getting serious about losing weight.
6. Contrary to my athletic appearance and although I'm pretty extroverted, I am also kind of a nerd, which seems to catch some people by surprise for whatever reason.
7. I really enjoy cooking my own food. I don't go out to eat often and I'm in the kitchen a lot. I'm not saying I'm a good cook, I'm just saying that I like to cook.
8. I'm a "car guy," although I don't really limit myself to one type. I like all cars, Muscle, Euro, Japanese, Small, Big, doesn't matter, if the car is cool, I want to know all about it and drive it.
9. Also a big animal lover as well, dogs more than anything though.
10. One of my favorite tattoos I have is inspired by the suicide girls @radeo and @gogo both of whom I find to be incredibly beautiful people, inside and out:
11. I love listening to music. 9/10 I have my earphones in listening to the soundtrack of my life while I go about my day, but I'm not a fan of the radio. I like finding out about new artists through friends and to a lesser extent youtube or going to local shows.
12. I love to write short stories, but I think I'm odd in the way I handle them when I'm finished. I write them, edit them, and then I usually delete them or throw them away (depending on if it was hand written or not) once it's finished and I've read through it.
13. I suck at bar games (pool/darts) but I love to play them. I am surprisingly good at beer pong though.
Lucky 13 and I'll stop.
