Traveling, slushees from 7-11, surfing, going to the zoo to look at the monkeys play, hanging out at a cafe all day in Paris, photography, developing my own film(I love the darkroom), kayaking, music festivals, rock climbing, roaming around in Half Price Books or Book People, biking, politics (it's good conversation for enemies and children), playing guitar, building robots for the revolution, walking the streets of Comporgeano Italy in the middle of a summer night, camping(real camping, NOT a cabin! come on people), psychology, adventures in the Sudan or memories of a scuffle in Siberia or even of that oft-quoted misadventure of that yak and llama in Nepal(ask me later and I will tell these stories of a mispent youth), art museums, looking at old maps of the world, Maria's Taco Express (best taco's in Austin!), reading in the park, looking at the stars from a mountain in Jasper (Canadian national park), road trips with friends without a destination, drinking a pint at a pub in London, and I'm training for a triathlon now. I want to get into fly fishing maybe(I saw it in the movie A River Runs Through It, so I tried it. Not as easy as the movies shows, yeah I sucked.).
