First and foremost, hanging out with my friends! An awesome party and dancing the night away. A great conversation and moments of silence. Music in every way and all forms of artistic creativity. Playing sports and exercise. Traveling and duty free.
And of course the beach, preferably on a tropical island...
Music
I listen to just about anything...except for Country Music. It depends what mood I’m in at the moment. If it rocks the house or makes me think than it is good for sure. If you can dance or work out to it, even better.
Being in Korea has kept me one step behind the music scene back home. Also, I especially enjoy live music and get homesick when I think about it. So if you know of any good concerts or local shows here in Seoul let me know!
Check out some of my friends on myspace:

Miss you guys and all the music going on back home.
Movies
“Historical Fiction” Films:
Braveheart, Gladiator, Last of the Mohicans, Troy, Alexander, King Arthur etc…
Any movie with Zhang Zhi…
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Memoirs of a Geshia,…
Lately been watching Korean movies when I get a chance. Seen many and enjoyed them all….well except for “the Dualist”…fell asleep...
Television
I don’t have much time to watch TV these days.
But I always keep up with Lost, The O.C, and Prison Break.
Been watching an awesome new show called Heroes! If you have not seen it, check it out!
Books
Unfortunately I haven’t had much time to read these days either. Most of the books I read recently are related to my work. I think the last book I enjoyed was “Memoirs of a Geisha” after seeing the movie. Great book!
Heroes
All party people of the night! Who get up in the morning and do something positive with their life. And as I get older, my parents amaze me more and more.

About me: Still loving life in Seoul!. Still missing home in the Northwest. Have an awesome job that allows me to travel and spend lots of time in the world of myspace. Some say too much time…I disagree…
Who I'd like to meet: Other outgoing people from all walks of life! But I’m not looking to participate in the “Myspace friends race” I don't just add anyone so send a message and get my attention...
Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, but shit is crazy (as always) in Key West.
I hope you had a happy birthday. I also hope you're still representing for them gangsters all across the world, hitting them corners in them low low's girl, and still got love for the streets.
Hey Maes, I'm coming to Korea!!! I'll be around from March 17th through the 22nd. I think we'll also need a interpreter on (tentatively)Monday morning. Eitherway I'll talk to you soon. Peace and See ya soon!
well since your friends are tripping down memory lane i think it is only right to have a comment from me on here. how's korea treating you? you should totally go get drunk with my brother. he doesn't seem to be having a very good tour this time around. i'm down in san diego now and really starting to love it the more i get settled in. i never would have guessed that constant sunshine is less depressing than constant rain- but it really is! drop me a line sometime
You dirty hippie!!! Haha, loving OZ right now but and super pumped for HK. Once again a friendly reminder BUY YOUR TICKET!!!! Peace.... also, whats your cell number so i can give you a ring???
I'm here now. My stuff gets delivered on Tuesday (at the library now) and then I'll get my internet hooked up. Once I get some time off I'll try to get up there, but it might take some time. Later...
Heya Maes! That's awesome you got to have a good ol' Thanksgiving dinner. I'm sure those types of things help when you're so far away from home. Mine was good I went to my bf's parents house. It was really nice, and our first one together..awww..
Sorry about the music thing, but how could I resist!! Yes I'm on Facebook now. I've been very slowly switching over...Brandi Lamb
Hello Maes, Just wanted to let you know that your favorite band, Evanescence, is playing in Seattle this weekend. I saw an article in the paper about them and it made me think of you. Hope your music choices of late have been sucking less. Miss you bud.
My flight lands at Incheon 5:30pm, Friday November 9th. I have to go straight to Osan, but I'll be there for a full year, so there will be plenty of time to hook up. I'll get a hold of you once I'm settled in. Later...
Yo Buddy. I know you drink a lot so I have to get on you to BUY YOUR TICKET TO HONG KONG. Get it now and it will be cheaper!!!!!! I would love to get this on the books. Just talked to a buddy of mine that spent a week in HK last year, and he said it was OFF THE HOOK. Hit me up, Peace Buddy. ~~Shills~~
Yo, just wanted to let you know that Kyle came down to visit this weekend. I purchased a Tobacco Water P*pe, and we named it after you. Instead of Purple Haze, we named it "Yellow Maes". Oh, DAMN!!! Hit me up, Peace Ian
Yo! Thanks for calling me the other day. it was good talking to you man. Also, it was good.... a' livin with you chumpy! it was goooood....ah ah ah ah ah chumpy!
Jon, what up...I made it back stateside without incident; had a good time chillin it in SF for a couple days, even though Drew was working his ass off the whole time. hanging in the Seattle area now, getting ready to catch up with all the dudes...you holding down Seoul life without me? later
I hope you threw a wicked party over there in honor of the Korean Constitution! I had an authentic Korean dinner in Atlanta the other day, it was spot on! Except no soju because it was $15 a bottle...
You should try to make it for at least a couple of days in late October. If there are no hurricanes, this years Fantasy Fest will be insane. Drinking down the middle of the street, the RED Party, celebrity guests, naked people (at least 75% of them are hot). It will be fun, except for the mornings.
