About me: Cho Saikou! (Ask someone who knows Japanese.) UC Santa Barbara and San Francisco State alumnus, masters film school graduate, award winning director, published author, surfer. I relocated from NorCal down here to Santa Monica, where I grew up. I'm a super fit, 5'9" blond, blue-eyed, 39 year old California dude. I'm part Scandanavian and part Mexican, so that makes me one butter cookied frijole! A well educated and well rounded human being.
I've directed two feature documentaries on surfing and skate culture. My first movie is called, "The Far Shore," and you can catch it on FUEL TV. My new doc is "Chasing the Lotus." Both movies are profiled and are in my top friends list, so check them out when you have a free moment.
Who I'd like to meet: I tend to go after girls who are outgoing, smart, sexy and a bit on the curvy side. However, real beauty is on the inside, so I guess that supercedes anything on the surface. I enjoy making new friends too, but if all you are interested in is collecting pen-pals, then I suggest you commit a crime and go to prison... I'm sure there's plenty of time to write while incarcerated.
Have a great week Mr. Prince Charming of the Pacific Ocean, thanks for the pep talk. Things are getting better! So happy we are pals! oh, im looking into Brooks college, now I am REALLY going to have to sell all my stuff, thanks for being my role model! "But what if you CAN take it with you and your talking to Simon at the gates and he sais 'where's all your stuff?'" lol, Cheers! - Esperanza
