Martial Arts: Muay Thai, Kenpo, Jiu Jitsu, and Vale Tudo/MMA. Animal Rights. Gaming (video games). Watching Pro Wrestling -WWE, ROH ,NWA TNA. Bowling, weight training, movies, and joking around (constantly).
Music
Punk Rock, mostly Christian Punk... MXPX, Relient K, etc.
Movies
Martial Arts movies, comedies, action flicks, pretty much anything. I'm a star wars and lord of the rings geek :-P Can't say I'm into foreign, independent, meaningful, "cultured" movies (watching a movie is about getting away from reality not over analyzing it) though.
Television
Raw, Smackdown, ECW, Futurama, Simpsons, MSTK3000, and Rifftrax.com!
Books
yeah I read those things sometimes. Now if the section said "comic" books then.....
About me: Basically I'm the punk rocking, head knocking, punch slipping, butt whipping, kick blocking, arm locking,leg bending, animal defending,cage fightin' animal rightin', veggie eating, opponent beating, fight winning, jump spinning, high kicking, toughest nerd in the world!
I'm all about the straight edge lifestyle. That means no drugs, no alcohol, and no tobacco. I am addicted to something though. That something is training, I love to train and I love to compete. I'm a vegan pro mma fighter who's into animal rights. So don't abuse any animals or I'll roundhouse kick you in the head. Just kidding.... not really. I'm on my space to catch up with old friends and meet others in the martial arts and animal rights communities.

The Bench (all of us "cool" guys from Lowell's most infamous bench). Those who have a passion for Martial Arts training. Animal activists and vegetarians/vegans. Anyone that believes real men are kind to animals :)
Recently, the Northern Territory government announced plans to kill 3000 camels by means of aerial shooting in the township of Docker River. Thirsty and in search of water, the camels converged on the community of Docker River. Instead of assisting the community by building barriers to keep the camels out of the township and investing in long term solutions such as research into birth control or the construction of a manmade waterhole for the camels to drink from, the government are planning to herd the animals away from the town, shoot them and leave their bodies to rot. Despite the outrage of thousands of concerned people from around the world, the Northern Territory government has given the green light for the cull to go ahead and thousands of scared camels are now being annihilated by marksmen from helicopters.
Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and a great week ahead! Best wishes, Tracy XOX P.S (I added a guestbook on my page and would be grateful if you would sign it, many thanks :-) )
