From inspiration to curiosity

While having nothing else to do for the moment, I enjoy surfing from page to page on the internet, just off the expansive shores of wikipedia. Today I've been at entertainment beach since I woke up, following some interesting leads I got while reading about my current inspiration and idol, Steve Aoki.

Steve's father, "Rocky" Aoki, recently passed away- but not before founding one of the largest Japanese restaurant chains in history and changing the face of Japanese-American dining with his Benihana brand.

His story is indeed very interesting, and I admire Steve now even more for being close but not too close to his father, as he may have been consumed by the stress monster that got a hold of 4 of his 5 siblings and half siblings.

Check it out, it's really an amazing story, lol. Steve's half-sibling that escaped the monster with him is Devon Aoki, the woman that replaced Naomi Campbell as the face of Versace. Step down for link
