Kalihi (Uka) Valley bred; Only Child; Okinawan. Relatives: HI (Hawaii), L.A. (Los Angeles - California), (Las) Vegas, Nebraska, Texas, (New) Jersey and South America.

 

Under the Chinese annual lunar calendar horoscope (animal), I was born in the year of the Tiger, not the Ox (I love pussy cats). What's my sign ? I'm a Capricorn.

 

Although, I was born in the 1970's; I grew up in the 1980's, but became older in the 90's. From Disco (Donna Summer or the Village People (YMCA) to grunge (alternative rock/college radio - think Nirvana).

 

Surf the internet. Watch pro wrestling (WWE, NWA Powerrr, AEW (Elite) Wrestling, (TNA) Impact Wrestling, Dragon Gate, ROH on YouTube); I am really a casual, not hardcore pro sports fan: boxing, basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, soccer (football), ice hockey and the various Olympics seasonal contests.

 

Drink beer, have shots, eat pizza and watch films/movies. Dance at nightclubs and concerts. Check out cool, new and hip (not hipster) restaurants and more bars, off the beaten path.

 

I don't do yoga, pilates, zumba, or any breathing techniques.

I get into a different zone/plane/altered state of mind, by chilling out (like the Dalai Llama or Gandhi), by hiking in the untamed wilderness of the forests/woods. (no crazy "beast modes" here) Unfortunately, I might get bit by some wild pigs (boars) or tiny cute squirrels. Later, I just want to cool off at the beaches with some hot women (that I haven't met yet) and a Mai Tai in another hand.

 

I like to shop at Ala Moana and at every mall on the island (that also would include the neighbor islands as well). I really want to check out the Mall of the Americas in Minnesota and Edmonton Mall in Canada. That would be awesome, eh !

 

I enjoy listening to rap/trap/dance/techno/EDM/reggae/Latino/Hawaiian/alternative (rock)/R & B/Top 40 music. Except for Country, with the exception of Shania Twain, LeeAnn Rimes, Taylor Swift. Michael Jackson, not Prince, is the King of Pop 4 Ever -- sorry Elvis (Presley). R.I.P.

 

And yes, play video games (the GTA series, I love the music: esp. in Vice City and San Andreas. IV-V looks awesome, but I haven't bought a PS3 or PS4, Nintento Wii/Nintendo Switch or XBOX360/X Box One yet).

 

Buy gadgets like Flip Video -- my grandfather wanted to buy

me one of the first stereo systems that had a CD player (along with a dual cassette tape deck and vinyl record turntable.) I'm really dating myself here. Drones looks great too !

 

Three of my main goals in life (if I take a trip to the US mainland) are: no.1: to check out the annual CES show in Las Vegas, Nevada. I would go nuts ! no.2: swim in the infamous grotto at Hugh Hefner's PlayBoy mansion. (I can't do that now, because someone bought the mansion already. Oh well, so much for nirvana.) no.3: Travel to Italy (the Coliseum where Russell Crowe was the Gladiator), France (the Louvre and Eiffel Tower), Spain (Ibiza island), Amsterdam (to drink "coffee" and talk to high class sophisticated women), Mexico (the Aztec Jaguar warriors rule in Cancun, ese !), Germany (wear lederhosen and drink beer in the annual Oktoberfest), Greece (ancient ruins) and England (the Parthenon, pet the Lochness Monster and push down the Stonehenge rocks like dominoes, like the "Expedition Unknown" host Jack Gates.

 

Voted in 2008, unlike 2004 - I'm a Donkey (D) not an Elephant (R). Barrack Obama -- a local boy from the Kailua area.

Unlike the new president, Donald Trump, Obama had graduated from a coed private (Punahou) high school,

 

I graduated from an all-boys Catholic school (like St. Louis, Maryknoll High School, Sacred Hearts Academy, St. Francis School, La Pietra, St. Andrews' Priory). Okay the latter 4 schools are all-girls' schools. The only time we had girls in our school was at the (junior and senior) proms and sports pep rally in the (school) gym. For fundraisers, I remember selling Christmas trees and huli huli chicken.

 

Back then, there was Farrington (public) high school (which was coed). Am I gay - no way, jose. I even don't consider myself Catholic.

 

I love girl scout cookies. What about the boy scouts ? What do they sell ? I don't know.

 

I love mobster movies (Scarface, Blow, the Departed, Donnie Brasco, Carlito's Way, the Godfather series, GoodFellas), the Sopranos tv series, action/adventure movies, sci fi series (Star Wars), comedies (the Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Gremlins, Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, the Goonies), drama (Rocky series), etc. Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro are awesome (in Heat and Righteous Kill).

 

Fascinated with the CSI (New York and Miami) series. I remember watching Miami Vice and Magnum P.I. back in the 1980's. Love the Cocaine Cowboys documentaries... Narcos and Queen of the South look good too.

 

Slum Dog Millionaire was a great movie.

 

I love those crazy Judd Apatow comedies with Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and other funny people: the 40 Year Old Virgin (Steve Carell), Accepted, Knocked Up, Superbad, Strange Wilderness, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express and now, Observe and Report. The Hangover series. Some of them were good; I liked Ken Jeong as "Chow" though with a monkey.

 

Jim Carrey - brilliant mind. Robin Williams - ADD, he can never keep still. Great impressionist.

 

The hilarious Harold and Kumar series, with Kal Penn and John Cho (of new Star Trek movie), are great with Doogie Howser (Neil Patrick Harris). I loved him in Undercover Brother (with Dave Chapelle and Eddie Griffin). Chapelle is a genius with his old Comedy Central show; also starred in Half Baked with former SNL guy Jim Breuer.

 

Love Lisa Lampanelli on those Comedy Central Roasts (Flavor Flav, Larry the Cable Guy, William Shatner, Hugh Hefner, Pamela Anderson Lee). She's Don Rickles' illegitimate and forgotten daughter. Joan Rivers, R.I.P.
