ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Karl. I've primarily grown up in the suburbs of Chicago. I have lived in other US cities, Japan, and Thailand.

I like to have some good fun crazy times and plan for cool things to do in the near future. I like meeting many new people and making lots of new friends. I still hold dear the few best friends that I have. I need good friends to fully enjoy life.

I like to just plain hang out with friends out on the town at cafes, restaurants, and bars, go clothes shopping when I have the money (lol), go to shows, the movies, concerts, listen to new music discoveries, play video games if I can find a good one, talk about current events, drink coffee~ ('_^), etc. etc.....

Since I can speak Japanese, the culture of Japan also has a strong influence in my personality. I have been there almost every year for the past 6 years and have friends there too. ^(*_*)^
I also have some experience living in Thailand which has shown me another way to live and added new interests to my liking.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you only live once that you gotta live life to the fullest. Don't waste time, utilize every day to try something new, do something productive, plan for the future, etc. Don't live your life just waiting for the next big thing either.

Also, I believe in trying to be nice to all people. I don't worry about their individual flaws and am patient. I also don't let too many big things get to me and easily forgive, but don't want to be taken advantage of either. I do like my personal space to be clean, though.
