Ice Hockey is the best sport, but i also like playing/watching basketball and the real football i guess. listening to, creating, and playing music is awesome as well. watching and criticing movies. taking photos. reading about history. writing song lyrics. talking to people to find out more about them and things i havent bveen able to experience yet. i guess i like to write too, which is probably why these things are so long.
Awesome bands and jam with them, Steve Yzerman - actually all the Red Wings with the Stanley Cup and a few more beers to just kick back and talk hockey. people who think God stands for something that isn't the truth. hmm, i guess more missionary kids/international people, people who work with the impoverished or diseased. Jesus, even though I know it would freak me out for a long time. i dont know how long it would take to get comfartable in the presence of the King of Kings. ummm ... i guess the list goes on for a while, since i'm running on blank names and faces now.
Jazz is the hardest style of music to play. respect it. enjoy it. bask in it's smoothness.Classic Music is so hard to write. building chords after chords on top of each other for an entire orchestra to play is amazing. respect it.Rock is not the music of our generation. nevertheless, it carries emotion in it's creation and demands skill. real rock bands that i love and respect:Hopesfall, Beloved, Incubus, The Beautiful Mistake, Deftones, Metallica, David Crowder Band, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Emery, Ethereal, Whence He Came, The Love Song, Uncle Joe, Lost Prophets, The Round Table, Coldplay, Sunset Elixir, Damien Rice, Staind, Rock Kills Kid, Killswitch Engage, Jars of Clay, Dc Talk, Dream Theater, and so on ...music that deserves no respect because it's not an art or expression of art is hip hop (thats to listen to if you wanna bone) rap (say words really fast that rhyme), and pop punk (3 bar chords and an fast drummer don't make a good sound. period.)
in no particular order ... The Shawshank Redemption, Toy Story, Napoleon Dynamite, The Green Mile, Road to Perdition, Hero, Zoolander, Ocean's 11, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Bourne Idenity/Supremacy, Forest Gump, LOTR, Enemy at the Gates, Fight Club, Seven, The Passion, and so on
in no particular order, CSI, Boy Meets World, DuckTales, 24, Seinfield, Simpsons, Futurama, Sportscenter, um, i don't really watch much TV anymore ...
A People's History of the USA, Catcher in the Rye, The Testament, Dangerous Wonder, A Hunger for God, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Jeremiah, The Last Mission, and so on. i never read enough as a kid, which is probably why my grades suck.
Parents - because they knew how to raise me despite the constantly changing times and envioroment we were being constantly being tossed into it. Jason Fan - a respect for chaos that can mold. Paul Bottrill - knowing how to stay strong and connected in tough times. Mr. Bryant - for your passion for history and how learning from it can affect how we can positively affect others today. Friends that stay true to their beliefs and support of you even when I didn't. Jesus - for saving me, being patient with me, and guiding me in the defintion of my life that You have given me.
