My hobbies include growing and maintaining my goatee, long distance running, surfing the web and playing Pokémon.  I finally finished my Master's degree project after 4 years of procrastination.

Living in a middle-age crisis is not easy as we get older and I'm dealing with it as best as I can.  While I may not be able to achieve the things I accomplished when I was much younger, I at least try to do the best that I'm still capable of doing.

Politics
While President Barack Obama was overwhelmingly the better choice for President, I believe the real change now needs to take place in both Congress and in Obama's cabinet, and that shall start in the year 2010 when we elect any of the Republican contenders of US Senate to replace Christopher Dodd. Dodd is a complete embarassment for the state of Connecticut.  We gave the Democrats a chance, and what have they done since inauguration?  Let's see:  a near 1 trillion dollar stimulus package which is nothing but pork, apologizing to European leaders regarding Bush, and a scary flyover in New York City so reminiscent to 9/11.  Also, AIG giving out bailout money as bonuses so to retain incompetent employees, that is outrageous.  While I don't have political aspirations to run for any local offices yet, I will at least do my part in getting involved to help our causes.

General:
This cam page is rated G as in Goatee.  The only expected nudity is the nakedness of my goatee.
