Sports - The best way to release to let off steam and the pressures around you. It's really just a different world. My favorites include: baseball, frisbee, football, and basketball.
Friends - I'm always interested in my friends. I like to know what they're up to, what they like to do. I like having friends that will always stand by you through thick and thin and help you through the best of times and the worst of times.
The Great Outdoors
View from my front porch.
Taken on a hike up near the Big 4 Ice Caves.
There is seriously nothing better then the world all around us. There are so many things you can do outside. Going on long, grueling hikes test your mettle, while at the same time get you out of your normal life's schedule. It's so relaxing and peaceful out there. The setting in the wilderness is so absolutely amazing. You never know what's around the next bend. There are so many great views and unexpected situations to be had. Everyone should try it. Water is another aspect of the great outdoors I just love. Boating, swimming, just exploring the beach are all extremely fun.
Staying Active - Staying active is so important these days. I love running, biking, hiking, just getting out there and doing something. There is no better feeling then the feeling after a run or a long hike or bike ride. You feel exhausted, but you don't care. I don't really know how to describe it. It just feels good.
Doing Nothing
Howarth at sundown. No place I'd rather be.
Almost as important as being physically active. There has to be some time where you can just lay in your back yard under the sun and just think about things or nap. It is so refreshing to wake up after a two hour nap knowing you didn't do shit for the first time this week.
Music - The music scene, for me, has really blossomed in the past couple of years. I have started to go to concerts and find new bands and styles. I love listening to music. It always seems to have a positive effect on my mood. I know that how ever bad my day may be going, music will be there to cheer me up.
I'd like to meet:
Poor Conan!
People that are real and can take a few hits and still stand back up every time.
Music:
Very mood specific. Rap when I'm feeling pumped up, Modest Mouse-type music when I'm feeling happy. Jack Johnson, Beatles, etc., when it's time to relax. There's just so much I like, it's hard to pinpoint one specific type. I love discovering new music and just listening to it over and over until it gets old.
Movies:
Office Space, The Big Lebowski...There are others, I just can't think of them now.
Television:
Around the Horn, Baseball, Basketball, Football, Pardon the Interruption, South Park, Scrubs, Sportscenter, Survivorman.
Books:
Really awesome to relax with...There's just not time anymore.
Heroes:
Barry Bonds, Tom Brady, Bill Gates
