Light the Fires, Kick the Tires!

About Me

See Interests. I am one dimensional. I live to race and strive to win. I turned down Stanford engineering to do this and it was the hardest and best decision I've ever made. I will not falter and will not fail. .. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.- Corinthians 9:24 (And me an agnostic, hmm.)

My Interests

"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting"- Steve McQueen, Le Mans

I'd like to meet:

Ayrton Senna, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill, Burt Rutan, Steve McQueen, Keira Knightley and Ben Franklin. Anyone who wants to talk to me on skype- look me up charlie.kimball

Music:

Most everything. I enjoyed lostprophets live at Wembley Arena- wish I could have been in the pit though. Also Motion City Soundtrack (thanks Kate), Fall Out Boy, All -American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Angels & Airwaves, The Peppers, Nirvana, Evanescance, The Kilelrs, Linkin Park and the classics- Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Queen, Bon Jovi, van Halen.

Movies:

The Matrix Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Man on Fire, The Butterfly Effect, 300, Dodgeball, Shrek 1 and 2, and of course The Shawshank Redemption. Let's not forget the classics either- Days of Thunder, Top Gun, Le Mans, Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Rock.

Television:

We now have Sky+ (kinda like Tivo) and it has revolutionized our lives. I watch CSI- Vegas LOST, ER, and Top Gear- Jeremy Clarkson is a riot and a half! Just started watching 24 on DVD, ok so far. Also enjoying Heroes, Shark and House.

Books:

I tend to read a lot while I am traveling so I go through books like they are nothing. Harlan Coben is my new favorite author. They are just great. Otherwise, I like all Clive Cussler, Jack Higgins, Nelson DeMille, John Grisham, David Baldacci, Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly, Patrick Robinson, John Lescroat and Wilbur Smith is great as well.

Heroes:

My Father, Ayrton Senna, and those that stand up and speak out against injustice and incite change.
