Music
Ludacris is pretty much awesome. I like all music
especially 80's and Hip-Hop. Odd? Yes. But I used to run 2 events
in track, the 100 and the 1500 so really what do I know about
consistency? Currently, meaning when this was typed, I am listening to
Air Supply, Making Love Out of Nothing At All. Yes, I know what you're
thinking, and it does rock even harder than it did in 1983. Don't be
jealous, just get a copy of Billboards Greatest hits 1983. You won't be
sorry, I guarantee it (not monitarily but I'll certainly feel bad if it
doesn't rock your world, which it will).
Movies
"Garden State" is currently on top of the
list. Mostly however I like totally sweet moveis along the line
of Blade Trinity, and anything starring the Rock. It's not my fault
if you can't see the cinematic genius behind "The Rundown" or
"Walking Tall". If you haven't experienced the amazingness of these
films let me know, I'll loan them I own them
Games
I am a huge fan of video games and game
programming. I devote quite a bit of free time to playing games as well as
learning game programming. My favorite game developer is
Blizzard and my favorite game is still probably
Diablo II. My favorite genre is real-time strategy games like
Warcraft III and
Age of Mythology. Some of my favorite console games are Metal Gear
Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto 3 and the Madden Football Series for PS2 and Final
Fantasy 1 and The Legend of Zelda for NES.
Game Programming
I love game programming and I realize that no matter what I end up doing with
my life I will always keep game programming as a hobby. Some of my favorite

Da' Bears
I am and will always be a die hard Chicago
Bears fan. As you might imagine this has made life difficult growing up
in Wisconsin but I have prevailed as only one with supreme confidence in their
rightousness can. Bear Down Chicago Bears. I am also a long suffering
Cubs fan, I can't wait for the injuries to roll in this
year. I'm not really religous but... please God let Wood and Prior finish
one season un-injured. Zambrano? He's a tough kid, not
worried. Fuck the Carolina Panthers. Fuck Steve Smith
especially.
Hockey
I have been playing hockey since I was about 5 years old and absolutly love it.
I need to find a league to play in out here in So-Cal. I'm going into
hockey withdrawl. It's February and 70 degrees.
