"Far better is it to dare mighty things, even though checkered by failure, than to neither enjoy nor suffer by living the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

spending time with my daughter showing her all the wonderfull things in this world......like snowboarding, jeeping, boating, camping, singing and laughing. traveling to new places. all kinds of weather...sunny days, snowy days, rainy days, windy days. any kind of art, photos, paintings, music, etc. taking photos of whatever looks cool and inspires me. hanging with friends and giving them shit. watching my dog Guinness do crazy things with logs and rocks.
Anyone that i can learn something new from and anyone that makes me laugh.
I love music, it's like my religion. I listen to a lot of stuff, depending on my mood. But it's mostly TOOL, a whole lot of deftones, sprinkled with some Alice in Chains, Korn, Counterfist, and anything with a progressive, heavy, bass and drum beat. I to relax with some Raeggae music like Sublime, Matisyahu, and any chill stuff. Hip-hop is always puts me in a good mood. 80's music is fun cause it reminds me of when I was a kid. 90's rap is fuckin hilarious. Country just cracks me up.
Snowboard movies, anything funny, anything REAL like a documentary, or anything that makes you think. and anything my daughter likes watching, her favs right now are Dumbo, Sponge Bob, and the Little Mermaid.
i have a love/hate relationship w/the TV. i love discovery channel, comedy central, and a few of the network comedies. That 70's Show is probably my fav, it always makes me laugh even if i've seen the episode 10 times. i can't stand all the cheesy drama shows and the "so called" reality shows. i get especially nautious from soap operas and any of the celebrity gossip crap.
any kind of photography or art book, mostly snowboard ones like Blower by Jeff Curtes and Lines by Scott Sullivan. P3 by Todd Richards (actual read). Frequency the Snowboarders Journal. Transfirgurations and Visions by Alex Grey. Any of the TIME journals. I also have a NYC photo book of all the cool buildings that I really like.
My Mom because she has shown me what true strength is: how to stand on your own two feet and keep your head up no matter what life throws at you. and most of all my Leah because she inspires me to be a better person and gives me strength i never knew i had. she is my sun, my star, my wind and my rock.
