My Interests

I don't think there is really anything out there I am not interested in in some way, shape or form or anything for that matter I don't want to learn how to do. Standing around being bored really just isn't an option. I always think about the story my grandfather tells me every time I see him. He says that when I was two he used to carry me around and I would point at everything asking "What's that, what's that" I laugh every time I hear it because I find myself still always asking What's that!
