Movies, making movies, music, singing, writing, hanging out with my family, hanging out with my youth group, yelling at inanimate objects, dusting my fake plants, attempting to teach my fish a trick, staring at the walls, and singing Tom Jones in the shower.

Television
The Simpsons, America's Funniest Home Videos, and I Love the 80's. Seriously, if that was all TV had to offer, I'd weigh 400lbs and smell like old Cheetos from never getting off the couch. So...I guess it's a good thing.
Books
Mere Christianity and The Weight of Glory - by CS Lewis, The Cost of Discipleship - by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, and finally 101 Unpleasant Ways to Die (a book of cartoons, it's very insightful).
Heroes
My wife, because if I had to push an eight pound human lump from my body, I'd cry my eyes out and wet the bed. Love you, babe!
About me: I am a husband-father-youth pastor-musician. While I love my youth group more than I love Angels baseball, nothing is better than spending quality time with my wife and son. You will see me playing music around town from time to time under the name I Saw Black You Saw Stars. Check it out sometime. I think you might like it. Finally, I love to travel, I love to learn and apparently I love to talk about myself. That basically means that I need to stop right here and go repent or something.
Great! Dinner at Cheesecake with Jake, a surprise party at my apt when I got back and then we went to the Long Beach aquarium with Cass and Jeff on Sunday! It was a lot of fun. How was yours? Do anything fun?
