NTRODUCTION- Tell us a little about yourself..
I'm a 28yr old Greek guy on a Chaldean website. I was born in Greece, grew up in Detroit, and have been living in NYC for the past two years. I did my undergrad in electrical engineering and worked for five years in the industry before I ended up in marketing/advertising for one of the largest companies in the world.
In my free time I enjoy muay thai/kickboxing, jiu jitsu, boxing and working out. On a nice summer weekend you will find me on the beach; it really makes me happy.
There's not much to me.. I'm basically trying to find my purpose in life. Up to this point I've just been taking things as they come.
FAVORITES
Color - Brown
Music - Greek, HipHop and Reggaeton
Food- my mom's
Cologne/Perfume- I don't wear colognes, and I hate when women put on that Victoria Secret stuff that is obnoxiously strong
Celebrity – I’m not into the celebrity hype, but one celebrity I do admire for his work is Edward Norton. He’s an amazing actor
Quote – “I hope for nothing, I fear nothing, I am free” – Nikos Kazantzakis
Sport – K-1(Muay thai/kickboxing)
Position - doggy
Book - Poetics of Manhood by Michael Herzfeld. It’s non-fiction, sociological study of a Cretan(island in Greece) village
Season – Summer. 95 and sunny every day. I love the beach
FAVORITE MEMBER/S
Too many to name, and I don’t want to get into the situation of accidently excluding anyone, but I do think the moderators are pretty cool guys. Also, msetto, cathy, LOTR, and Rita (mostly because she’s hot, but she’s civil to me as well).
MOST INTERESTING MEMBER/S
I think Renee because I disagree with her on a lot of things.
FUNNIEST MEMBER/S
I don’t pay enough attention to these things. I’ve read some pretty funny stuff lately from many members in response to the member on this site that many of us consider a cancer
Who would you rather be stalked by from CC (other than current), Msetto,Hadeer,Lotr,Tenu,Zraff,Enrico,Caz
Msetto; it would be nice to get some attention from her.
How did you get into professional fighting/what was appealing about it?
To be clear, I don’t fight at the professional level, I fight at the amateur level. Professional means paid. I got into it because as many kids, I did taekwondo at an early age, but unlike most kids, continued with it. As you get older you realize you want to do something a little more competitive with more contact, so I got into kickboxing. The appeal to me was is that you really learn a lot about yourself after a fight. It builds character, and it brings you back down to earth. Many of us think we are invincible, and it’s good to get your nose smashed in as a wakeup call. On the flip side, many of us are insecure and walk around scared. Nothing makes you feel better about yourself than knocking someone on their a$$. Fighting(legally) is the only real sport, everything else is just games.
Has competing taught you any life lessons that you live by?
Yes, it has taught me discipline. If you don’t have discipline to prepare properly, you can and will get hurt.
Do you think Chaldean's & Greek's have a lot of similarities? if so what?
Yes definitely. I think we both find holding onto our traditions as an important thing, and we also consider family as an important part of life. Many people in America say family is important, but rarely do people actually practice it like Greeks and Chaldeans. I think the same can be said about other ethnic groups. I also think we are both hard headed people, and it will hold us back from progress.
Believe in the existence of Demon's & Angels?
I believe in good and bad, and demons and angels are just a representation of that to me. But to be honest, it doesn’t matter what I think.
Why did you move from MI to NY..why not somewhere warm?
I moved to New York because NY’s economy is thriving, and Michigan’s economy is a disaster. A lot has changed in two years, but NY is still a good place to live if you’re looking to further your career. I found a good job here, so I took it. I also wanted to move to NY because of its large Greek community. I enjoy the Greek scene. By the way, the beaches in Long Island are amazing in the summer.
Who has been the most influential person in your life thus far?
My mom. I think good or bad, the most influential person in anyone’s life is the person who raised them.
What are your thoughts about Obama, will he make the world a better place?
I believe his economic ideas and policies are going to hurt us. I think his image is a good image and that the rest of the world will have a better perception of the United States, but in reality, money matters, not emotions; and the leaders around the world know this. I do like his attitude though; he talked to the point and didn’t act like a baby during his campaign. I thought McCain could have been a good president, but he hurt himself with his immature tactics.
What is the craziest thing you have ever done??
I met up with the member of this website for coffee once after months of her being relentless over email/facebook/myspace/phone/etc. It was a mistake. To be honest, I was just curious, but it was costly mistake. I purposely acted like an a*hole the whole time by not talking to her, hoping that it would cause her to really not be fond of me. It didn’t work.
Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Tran....do you believe it is a genetic thing or a choice?
Genetic and through experience. I don’t understand the whole choice thing. You don’t choose your feelings.
What cause do you feel strongly about & why?
I’m not a philanthropist by any means. I think the breakdown of our society has come because of the breakdown in the family and family values. You can trace everything back to that. I’m for anything that involves bringing back family values.
If you could play God for a day would you, what would you change?
If I was God, I don’t think it would be my place to change anything or to interfere with human nature. But if I had the resources, I would stop the genocide in Darfur.
If you could have a luncheon with any three people (real of fictitious/ from any time period, dead or alive), which three people would you choose and why?
Jesus Christ – For being as influential as he is, I think history is really unclear as to what type of person he was or what he taught. I’m sure reality has been distorted. I’m intrigued to know the person that many worship without ever having known.
Mike Tyson – because no matter what anyone says, he had the right mentality when it came to fighting. Fighting is the only sport where you have to come into it not THINKING that you’re going to win, but KNOWING. Fighting is the only sport that you have to make it a mentality in which you live by. Your opponents have to fear you. They have to know you’re crazy.
My dad – even though it would be difficult to end the lunch
Who is your Fav super-hero?
Batman. I like the idea of a completely mortal man, using his money and resources to fight crime, instead of sitting back drinking Hennessey and banging chicks.
If you suddenly found yourself turned into a woman, how would you spend your day?
I’d write down everything going on in my head, and then give it to the male version of myself the next day. If it was permanent, then I guess I would accept the fact that I have turned into a crazy person(just kidding ladies), and spend the rest of my life milking guys for free dinners, money, gifts, etc. I’d be a hideous woman though so I’d probably turn into a lesbian kickboxer.
Is there any magical power you wish to posses & why?
No super-witty answer here. I just wish I had superhuman strength.
It has been predicted by the Mayan's, Nostradamus etc the world will end in 2012..do you believe this why or why not?
I think it’s un-Christian to think that anyone can predict the end of the world. But the “end of the world” can come any time in my opinion, especially with extremists getting access to biological weapons or weapons of mass destruction
Name your top 4 biggest fears.
1- Getting old
2- Losing my job
3- Seeing loved ones hurting
4- Not being able to sustain an erection (see #1)
Ever had a STD?
Just four.
Any piece of advice you would like to give people? life,love,friendship,faith etc..
I’m in no place to be giving advice on life. All I can say is, stay disciplined and try to think before you act.
As far as love, I am the last person to ask for advice on this. I fell in love with a poor Dominican girl from the Bronx last year and we recently broke up. A girl I never thought I would have anything for. It has left me jaded and revaluating what I want in life. All I know is good people make good couples.
Conclusion..Final thoughts
I think this website is entertaining and from time to time has some interesting topics. That’s my only thought. Oh, that and, I think Chaldean women are hot.
