I love to be outside, but I've been slacking this summer because most of the things that I'd like to do I wouldn't necessarily do alone. I'm making up for lost time though. I have my canoe loaded up on my truck and I finally found my tackle box. Here fishy fishy.
I'd like to meet:

Check this out!
Music:
I can handle pretty much anything, well, except rap (unless it's Notorious BIG who I still love after all these years). I love music. I love it better live and any concert I can see I do (I just saw the most AMAZING concert of my entire life. By the headliner's second song I was almost in tears. The opener was so good too. What a great singer/songwriter/musician he is!!) My all time favorites are Bad Religion and Social Distortion. I've been listening to a lot more country, but it is always changing. I also have a little thing for bluegrass. The Old Crow Medicine Show is a pretty impressive band. Then, of course there is Jack Johnson which is a perfect choice almost all of the time to make me reminisce about Hawaiian life. And then, everyone knows that I love Shawn Mullins (that was the concert). There is entirely too much good music out there to list it all.
Movies:
My "top five" includes High Fidelity (mmm, John Cusack); Boondock Saints, Life as a House, Someone Like You and Office Space. If it has John Cusack or Ashley Judd in it I probably love it. If it's scary and it's in the theatre, I probably have/will see it with Jess.
Television:
TV is my sleeping pill. I only turn it on when I'm going to bed. I usually try to watch 24, House, and Grey's Anatomy. Besides that, it's just something to block out the sound of the neighborhood dogs' barking. I really love South Park all of a sudden. It doesn't come on until 11, and I usually only catch the first 10-15 minutes before falling asleep, but it is such a funny show. It has really evolved since the beginning.
Books:
I read a ridiculous amount in relation to the workload that I have from school. I just think that it's an important part of who I am. I've always read a lot. There are many authors I appreciate, and a few that have changed the way that I look at life. One of these days I'll get around to listing them all. I think that the best author of all time is Paulo Coelho--I just bought The Devil and Miss Prynn, I just couldn't wait for it to come out in soft-cover (The Alchemist, The Pilgrimage, The Valkyries, Veronika Decides to Die, The Zahir and Eleven Minutes (guess what that one is about)). Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a close second. As for American writers, I prefer David James Duncan.
Heroes:
All of my friends that are still in the Army that give so much of themselves to serve our country. Good work guys. Come home safe. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

````"Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you still can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests and encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey
