I am pretty friendly until you cross me, that is. Then I can get a bit angry and I might just yell at you. But at least you'll know where I stand, right? I wonder if I have high blood pressure?...

I also like to read a lot of different books and they include children's literature, biographies, and history tomes. I am currently reading a mini-history on Los Angeles and you know what? I wonder why there aren't that many books in the bookstores these days about my home city of Los Angeles. I mean, it's the second-largest city in the U.S. after New York City, but to me, it's equally important with its entertainment industry, large diversity of people, etc. What's so darn special about New York City that there are boatloads of books in the bookstores talking about it?! It's not like it's the most special place in the world...

I also like to cook - but only really because if I don't cook dinner, then I will starve. And if I eat takeout everyday, I will die fast. So I cook...I can pretty much cook three meals now. The first meal is rice with vegetables and chicken. That's pretty much what I eat each and everyday. My second meal is tofu lo mein, which is tofu with stif-fry vegetables and ramen noodles. This dish is topped off with soy sauce, by-the-way. Yummy!!! And my last meal I can currently make is fettucini alfredo. The alfredo sauce is mixed in with lemon juice and pepper for that extra taste! However, I can also make broccoli-and-cheese soup, but I think I need to improve on this. The soup didn't look too appealing...

And lastly about me, I love to joke around. Joking is pretty much my life, whether it be at the office or with a couple of my friends. Because with laughter, people relieve stress and they live longer. So instead of living until you are 90 years old, with my laughter, you will live until you are 90-1/2 years old. That extra half-a-year can make a big difference in one's life. Trust me...

I would like to have a nice conversation with somebody. And that person better be halfway nice and sweet!!!
