the official website of yours truly (click for pictures, including images from London and Paris 2002!)
I guess this site has evolved into focusing primarily on two of my biggest passions (outside of reading/writing) - East Asian/Asian American issues/history and golf (though the latter passion has recently deteriorated somewhat due to a lack of money/time).  There's some other things of interest here as well.  I hope you find it helpful and/or entertaining.
hobbies: WRITING, cultural events, working out at the gym, some tennis, golf, self-pitying, bad jokes
favorite sports franchise
:
"follow me!"

Education
I graduated with a BA in History from the institution on the far left, and apparently my work there was enough to merit further graduate study at  USC.  My memories of studying history are both stimulating and disheartening.
