i'm from taipei, new york (queens, long island, manhattan, brooklyn) & california (l.a. and oakland), roughly in that order. someday i hope to add hawaii and somewhere in china to that list. a drama-filled childhood lead to a penchant for theory-headedness and polemics, professional activism, the bay area and psychotherapy. now, i am luo ye gui gen: a falling leaf returning to its roots, rockin' the school of qi in oakland california!
