Movies
MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES!!!!!!! Sandra Bullock was my wife in a previous life............the movie SELENA......god took her way too soon....but that's ok.....ella esta cantando con los angeles! Te quiero Selena y le faltamos
Television
Dancing with the Stars (I'm still pissed off about Sabrina!).....American Idol.......my favorite shows as far as reality tv goes..........anything that makes me laugh......laughter is good for the heart and the soul......ALWAYS go to bed after laughing
Heroes
ABOVE ALL...OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Second, without a doubt..........MY MOM. Standing at only 5 feet tall, she was the strongest, most courageous person I have ever known. She was sick for most of her life but never complained and was still the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. She had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. She was everything a mother should be--caring, nurturing, loving...I could go on and on. She knew the risks of her surgery......but still went through with it. MY GRANDMA-- I was lucky enough to have 2 mothers. I lived with my Grandma, my Mom, and my Stepdad till I was 30. Me, my Mom, and my Grandma were inseparable. MY DAD-- My Dad had a zest for life like no other. In a span of 30 years, I almost lost him 3 times....once when I was about 5 years old after he was shot. Many years later, he survived a liver transplant. Just about 8 years ago, he survived a kidney transplant. Needing another kidney transplant for a few years now, the Lord finally called his son home. Till we meet again, my angels....until we meet again.

5/29/2008 - It's official! I am an official Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine Correspondent / Photographer. Not only can I submit my photos to the magazine for print, but I can also submit articles. So I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open. Here's a really bad scan job of my badge :)
This past Sunday, Peter Malota held his first Stunt Team Training in Birmingham, Michigan - it was AWESOME! The classroom was full and both men and women (younger to middle aged) attended. Many of the people who attended did not have any prior training and they had a BLAST. Not only do you learn how to take punches, dives, rolls, etc...but it was GREAT work out.
Today will be my first day back to the gym because I was so incredibly sore! But it was a good, worked hard sore!
Peter announced that he will be holding this same class for the next 4 weeks. Below is the flier. If you do go, please tell Peter that KICKPICS referred you. This was AWESOME training folks......you're learning from one of Hollywood's best!

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet:
Of course, martial artists interested in FREE KICKPICS photo shoots. I'm REALLY looking for sponsors (individuals, martial arts schools, clothing lines, martial arts suppliers, etc). I have well over 400 martial artists from all over the country and outside of the USA interested in a photo shoot but I am NOT wealthy. If you are interested in sponsoring a shoot (it could be your state or it could be another state), then let me know. Any sponsor will be listed on the main KICKPICS page under the sponsors page AND on an individual page where they sponsored a matial artist. Email for details.
