I generally try to surround myself with as many people as possible doing the usual: movies, music, and going out to dance or have a drink at a bar. I play basketball whenever possible and have tried to play some football (eventhough i can only catch the ball outside of the endzone) and lift weights 3 or 4 times a week (when work permits it). When the weather is right I like some volleyball outdoors in the sand.When I have free time alone I try to write or just listen to new music. I am obsessed with song lyrics, constantly trying to find the lyrics that perfectly captivate/capture my mood and emotions. Live shows of local talent are always an outing option as are large concerts in the area.Secretly I wish I was an artist of some sort. Since I was not blessed with a talent like that I enjoy the work of others be it photography, painting, or a well-designed building model.I grew up at the beach and did not enjoy it until I left Florida, so now I feel like I have years and years to make up for. When the roommate and I have money traveling with him always brings big things.
New friends to keep me on my toes and to keep it interesting. I have an incredible group of friends both here in NC and back home in FL, but I love to bring new folks into the mix! My friends come from all walks of life cause we don't discriminate...well we really try not to anyway!
My favorite artists are Coldplay and Lauryn Hill. Live singer songwriter with good lyrics, and hip hop that flows with a purpose are always on the playlist. I enjoy John Mayer, Brighteyes, A. Keyes, Deathcab for Cutie, Postal Service, Counting Crows, Kanye West, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Bob Marley, Dave Matthews, Elliot Smith, John Legend, Ben Harper Imogen Heap, Ben Lee, The Format, Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, The Dismemberment Plan, Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos, The Killers, Black Lab, The Audition, Panic at the Disco, Gnarls Barkley, 30 Seconds to Mars, India Arie and Sufjan Stevens.So far, Coldplay was the greatest concert I've seen followed by Brighteyes and Dave Matthews (on my birthday). Looking forward to Ben Harper, Dave, and Pearl Jam this summer.

My mom, sisters and friends in Raleigh and in Florida that still treat me like family!A lot can be learned from those popular figures we idolize, so the notebook is out while they are documented in history books are their lives are played before us in the news.
