Muay Thai and just about anything active and outdoors. Skating-kayaking-paintball-rock climbing-hiking-moonwalks are a favorite. Ever hear of crystal styx? call them devil sticks, and we are going to spar! I will never forget that it was Becky who gave me my first sticks. Thank you! Sudoku is good for my mind. Thanks Alicia! I wrestle and care for Alpacas in my spare time. They keep me humble. I am learning and praticing Qigong healing. It is good for my soul. I now Qigong, wuji and shake it as much as possible.
All kinds and I can dig it. acoustics and live, love music you can move and workout to.When I'm not working out and rocking out, my favs are: Better Than Ezra-The Smiths-Depeche Mode-U2-Morrissey-DMB-Bob Marley-Jason Mraz-Live-Seven Mary Three. Nothing beats Ms pac man to blasting Rise Against
Movies
too many to list. Last of the Mohicans, Conan the Barbarian, Army of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China , Princess Bride, Legend, Star Wars and Willow to name a few of my favorites.
Heat-Matrix-Departed-Bourne Trilogy-Gladiator-Professional-Pulp Fiction-True Romance-Go-I Heart Huckabees-and just about anything early Eddie Murphy.
Shanghi noon and knights- I can no longer endourse ANY of the Rush Hour movies soley bcuz 3 was so bad that I did not finish it. I like comic book movies. I enjoyed all Xmen, the Hulk and Iron Man. Dark Knight was ok. Ever see Reign of Fire? Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms... yeah...
Actually Phantoms was awful(did not finish) and so was Daredevil. Damn.... movie tangent...I Heart Huckabees is got to be my favorite.
Television
Weeds, Dexter, Californication, Heroes, Rescue Me, Fight Girls, Muay Thai Contender, NFL, Ninja warrior, Battlestar Galactica, Sons of Anarchy. I have to DVR everything because I refuse to watch commercials. It's always sunny in Philadelphia makes me laugh even though I know it's so wrong. Family Guy (when they are not singing)and Futurama! Seriously, KILL your television and you will feel better.
except for this! it makes me laugh. Karma and Effect for all you self righteous, pompous, hypocritical, holier than thou, posing, hating, mooching, backstabbing, bottomfeeding bastards. I refuse to become a hater. While I continue to light up the darkness, you will get yours. :) Oh no you didn't! That being said, also know that you are forgiven. Wuji for all.
Books
Dragonlance,Tao of Pooh, Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, Book of Five Rings, Mind Gains, Odd Thomas, Elmore Lenoard books. Tao of Jeet Kune Do, I am a Harry Potter fan.
Heroes
1)The men and women out there in the armed forces. Thank you. Watch your back. Get home soon!
2)Those who work with special needs/mentally challenged people. It takes understanding, sacrifice and tremendous amounts of patience ( My parents do this and have done it for years. )And they put up with me too!
3)Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. need I say more?
4)Dexter, bcuz he gets it done.
5)Batman ( the darker version portrayed by Christian Bale ) gotta love vigilante justice and capes. Where does he get those wonderful toys?
About me: This is the official GRIFFONRAWL MUAY THAI myspace, if you would like to contact Dan Rawlings, this is the place to do it. A bit about me, first and foremost I am a free spirit.I do consider myself an ARTIST. Whether Im making breakfast, giving a massage, or kicking an opponent's ass, I'm an artist.(though in TRUE art there is no I, right?) Muay Thai keeps me sane (mostly) and keeps me young. I am both a experienced professional fighter/ CERTIFIED instructor of Muay Thai, CERTIFIED L1 instrutor of Qigong, and a licensed massage therapist. I enjoy the balance of having healing hands and deadly ones. People think that glory is in the combat ring/cage. While this a partly true, the real truth is this: the Glory is in the training! The Glory is doing what you love and sharing it with others! Sa wa dee krup!
