I love anime, boxing,
and all sports in general, except for hockey. I write a boxing column for 2 websites:
Boxingscene.com and Phil Boxing.com . My column is called "From Pillar to Post".
I like listening to music and watching tv. That's unique.
I am more of a puzzle than you could possible imagine~ Inertia.....I don't even know what that means! Neither do you!

Music:
I listen to EVERYTHING. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Growing up I was into KoRn and other loud bands like Slipknot, but I've mellowed out a bit since then.
I still like some of the hard stuff, but not 24/7 like previously. I admire The Goo Goo Dolls, The Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance and Gin Blossoms.
Jay-Z is one of my favorite hip hop artists. Lyrically, no one has ever approached the level he was at from 95-03. After that, I disavowed any knowledge of him. A Tribe Called Quest, Onyx, Wu-Tang Clan and Black Moon are my favorite hip hop groups.
It's important to have an open mind with music because if you can't open your mind to different sounds, how can you open your mind to anything new? You can't, because you'd be too set in your ways for change.
