MY TYPICAL BAD BOY

Yan Yrastorza Yuzon is my typical bad boy..

I read an article in inquirer online...

im going to post some of the "bad" lines. TO SEE THE WHOLE ARTICLE <-- CLICK THIS

Romeo in Metropolitan Theater Guild's (MTG) production of Shakespeare's famous play about star-crossed lovers may be more of a brawler than a lover. He is quick on his feet, sharp with his tongue, and would probably enjoy smashing Tybalt's face, even as he romances the lovely Juliet. Look a little closer and this particular Romeo might as well be the feisty Tybalt's twin.

He now laughs at the experience on hindsight. "It was a great company and the people were amazing," he acknowledges. "We were fresh graduates being fished out of our togas." But handling the complaints and requests of customers from the other side of the world on midnight shift made him realize that he wasn't exactly the helpful type. "It was not a job for me. When this customer asked, 'Why was my phone line cut off?', I had to answer, 'Because you didn't pay!' It was too stressful. I'm not a nice person. That's not a self-deprecating statement. It's being honest."

Then there was the time that he sported a T-shirt, shorts, a mohawk haircut and good-old-fashioned rubber tsinelas one day at work as associate editor of a men's magazine in a publishing house that espouses traditional family values. Yanni says that his bosses called his attention to his attire-not for its utter irreverence for office wardrobe, but for the words emblazoned on the shirt, which practically hurled profanity at the then President of the Philippines.

I'm a teacher, you want to see my ID?" he says with a grin. "I don't allow my students to call me 'Sir.' They call me by name. We're co-directors. I tell them that this is what the book says-now throw out the book and change the world. F-ck that status quo."

This heady artistic brew just might be the ideal channel for Yanni to vent his aggression, which he says "isn't usually a bad thing. I'm a driven person. That's why I can't do a desk job. I'm doing theater and music, finally. Even when I teach, I'm not behind a desk. If I can make a lot of money doing that, fine. But if I can't...." he pauses for dramatic effect, then this wild mocking look enters his eyes. "...then maybe I'll sell drugs."

Overhearing the comments, Steven butts in, "Hey, don't print that, OK?"

Yanni merely chuckles, the irreverence in it underlining the joke. But once again, he just had to have the last word. He turns to his old friend, "The badder I get, the more tickets you'll sell."

... HOTNESS.. the badder the hotter
