Film, Books, Music. Weightlifting and any sort of cardio exercise-- lots of time at the gym. Lots of running. Still some cycling. Keeping up with current events. Lots of pop culture stuff too. Comic books are cool with me. My family is my greatest interest. Writing more than just in my journal-- writing it all down. Using my mini-DV camera more as well. And of course our dog. He is so cool.
