"If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do." -ooops, no idea who said this...

I was born in Saigon, but adopted when I was 4 months old in April 1975.  My parents are both from East Peoria, Illinois.  I grew up in the Midwest and have lived in Minneapolis, New York City, and currently reside in Los Angeles.  Welcome to my website.
