I thought I'd been RickRoll'D, but when I played this I nearly spit my drink out it was so funny. Especially the part when he's doing his little dance during the solo.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN75im_us4k&feature=channel_page

I competed in the 17th Annual Chinese Martial Arts Tournament at UC Berkeley on April 11th. I have to admit, I'm still relatively new to MA competition. There really weren't many competitors in the traditional wushu category though, so I manag

I'm finding myself becoming an even bigger Jet Li fan after seeing how much he's doing for the earthquake victims. He's such a good person!! He's a genuine Buddhist. I remember in "The Shaolin Temple" (another influential

Led Zepellin, Black Sabbath, Metallica...this was mainly the stuff I was into when I was growing up. My older sister and her friends were mainly into soul and some of the lighter classic rock (like in the previous entry). I grew up aroun
