Alright so here's what is so interesting about me, but before I start let me just say that I am going to keep my interests real and down to earth, none of this base jumping into an irrupting volcano. My main passion that fuels my interests is the outdoors. I love to hike and backpack. Ever since I hit the big 200 then the big 210 and so on... rock climbing has not been the same. I also enjoy body boarding. I am not a surfer nor do I pretend to be. It isn't that i have anything against it, I just never had the money to by the board, plus I grew up body boarding (back then it was buggy boarding now it is body boarding, so much cooler that way). I also enjoy playing sports. Some of my favorite sports include wrestling, which i believe is one of the hardest sports out there, and rugby. I wrestled up till college where I started to do complete in track and field and now rugby. I also enjoy tennis, racketball, snowboarding, soccer, basketball, and any other sport. I also like to read as you can read about under my favorite books. Last, I enjoy talking to people. Esspecially people that don't get talked to that often, i.e. homeless or third world inhabitants. I am sponsering a child through World Vision who lives in Nicaragua.
My wife? Sometimes yes, sometimes I think I have a long ways to go until i want or need to meet her. In fact, the more i think about it the worse of an idea it is. Gosh! Let me try and redeem myself with talking about the people in the past I would like to meet. 1. Jesus Christ (the most influencial man in history has to be at the top whether you are a believer or not). 2. My grandfather (I never got to meet him because he died of cancer a year before i was born but I hear he was a great man) 3. FDR (one of the greatest American presidents of all time) 4. Socrates (the man of philosophy, and to me a martyr of a worthy cause) 5. Gangues Kong (I'm not sure if that is how you spell his name but he definently intrigues me with his leadership, and lack of morals)
I would like to say that a movie like Scar Face would be a favorite of mine. However, in truth I have never seen that movie or some others like it. I enjoy movies but not as a primary source of intertainment. Without further ado here is Brandon's favorite movies: 1. Passion of the Christ (Some say too violent, I say realistic) 2. Newsies (A great musical, the only one I would ever consider making a fool of myself by singing Karaoke). 3. American History X (A hard-core film about Neo-Nazis and the effect it has on an American family) 4. Zoolander (Who can argue? Comidies are the best films for dates anyways :) 5. Prefontaine (An inspirational film that will motivate all those athlets) 6. The Breaks (an unknown comedy about life in the hood through the eyes of an Irish immigrant). 7. Spaceballs (One question? Where's the sequel? Prequel? 8. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (awsome fighting, but I don't understand the whole running in the air thing?) 9. Grumpier Old Men (Got to give credit to my man Walter Matthau). 10. Rambo: First Blood (Stallon is the man, nothing else needs to be said).
I don't watch too much TV but if I do it is either ESPN World or the news. Fox news is where it is at. Now I know all you loony lefties are thinking what a conservative moron. But before you claim this let me just say that I also enjoy balancing my news watch with reading CNN and BBC (if CNN wasn't enough) on the internet.
Books are by far the best form of entertainment. They are cheaper, they are always where you left them, and if you don't like one you can always trade it for another one. With that said here are some of my favorite books: 1. The Bible (Got to have the good word on the top of the list) 2. John Irving A Prayer for Owen Meany (great book with a great message) 3. Wild at Heart (great devotional for men and women should read it too) 4. A Challenge to Walk the Narrow Road (for all of those who want to be challenge in their walk) 5. Jesus Freaks Vol 1 and 2 (writtenf for all of you Jesus Freaks out there) 6. Death, Gate, Cycle series (if any series rivals LOTR it is this one)
