Listening to music, working out, exploring nature & life... as well as capturing its beauty on film and in my mind's eye.
Photography (especially B&W), watching movies, kicking back and relaxing, walks on the beach, sunsets with someone special, and overall anything that allows me to be the big kid that I still am! I'll try just about anything once!

I have very eclectic taste in music and love to discover up and coming bands/musicians before they get overplayed on the radio. That being said, I tend to listen to a lot independant artists, most of which are featured on NPR (National Public Radio). When I get the chance, I love to listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic & Weekend Becomes Eclectic on KCRW. I have come across some of the best music that way. I listen to a lot of mainstream music as well, but try to stay away from regular radio when ever possible because I don't care how good a song is, if you hear it 10 times a day, multiple times within the hour and then sometimes simultaneously on different radio stations, that is OVER KILL!!! Here are some of my current favorites:
MUSICIANS: Amie Mann, Ben Harper, Chantal Kreviazuk, Corinne Bailey Rae, Damien Rice, Enya, Gwen Stefani, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, Jem, Jewel, Johnny Cash, Inara George, India.Arie, Lily Allen, Matt Costa, Mat Kearney, Morrissey, Natalie Merchant, Nelly Furtado, Norah Jones, Papa Roach, Plumb, Rosie Thomas, Sara Mclachlan, Shakira, Tori Amos
BANDS: Augustana, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Religion, The Beatles, Blue October, Blue Merle, Chevelle, Colbie Calait, Coldplay, The Cure, Death Cab for Cutie, Depeche Mode, Enigma, The Fray, Garbage, Hinder, Incubus, Jane's Addiction, Keane, The Killers, Live, Linkin Park, The Loving Spoonful, Matchbox Twenty, Metallica (Old School), Modest Mouse, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, P.O.D., Panic! at the Disco, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Saliva, Seether, Sixspence None the Richer, The Smiths, Snow Patrol, Social Distortion, Sublime, System of a Down, Tegan & Sara, & Travis ***

My Fitness Hero... Justin
This guy got me to love working out at a time in my life when I absolutely hated it. Because of him, I not only went to the gym daily, but sometimes would even double up on classes. He made me believe that the body is capable of anything, even if the mind tries to tell it otherwise. When I felt like I was going to die and like my heart was coming out of my chest, he encouraged me to push myself further.
He made you feel important, and you always knew that he was glad to have you there. When you missed a class, he noticed. Not a lot of trainers or instructors out there are like that. This guy genuinely cares about what he does and the people he does it for.
If there were more people out there like him and his awesome wife Nicole, then I'm certain that obesity wouldn't be the epedemic that it is in our society. For that, he is my fitness hero! I'm just tremendously saddened that he and Nicole got swooped up by another gym in TX. :[
