Drumming for sure, thats usually been number one for the last years. Politics and human rights. This is the basic track that I would and am going to persue in law school. In the past, I was a basketballer, not so much after I chose to start smoking instead. So I guess that smoking is an intrest of mine too, just would like to not be interested in it at all. I'm into reading the large, boring non-fiction books, Thomas Freidman, Bob Woodward, Naomi Klein, sometimes will read the books that I used to buy for my Anthropology classes just for fun. I bike when I can, when there isn't four feet of snow on the ground in this god for saken area of the country. At least for six month out of the year. Ah...more later

I love cable. It is something that was sent from the heavens and given to mortal man. TNT for basketball and Law & Order, FX for The Sheild and some other sitcoms, Comedy Central for...um...well...I guess I'll watch pretty much everything on that channel. If I had the premium channels nothing in my life would get done at all. Those fix-em-up shows with Jesse James and the mustachioed geeks on Discovery, every once in a while the "Top 100" blah blah blah blah shows on E! and VH1, whatever. Reality TV is the programming that WILL rot your brain.
Reading Bob Woodward's "Plan of Attack" basically mapping how this Bush's administration was planning from the get go to do something, anything they could to defeat Saddam. Next up is Thomas Freidman's "The World is Flat." I've heard good and bad things about both Freidman and this book. Should be interesting. I got the coolest book for Christmas tho, "The Pop-Up Book of Phobias." Pop up books were cool when I was a kid, and now their cool when I'm an adult. Wait, I'm an adult?
