I am interested in getting better at things that i am terrible at, for example I'd like to learn to play an instrument or something like that.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am a student of the Yamasaki Academy of Braziliann Jiu Jitsu. It is a great way to keep a strong mind and body. Competition serves as my motivation.
i like to paint:
i also like to build stuff:
As I mentioned before. I am a sucker for adventure. If that is swimming in watertowers [see pics], or playing hide and seek, I'm game.
Music
i like the best music of all genres and all the music of a few genres...
Movies
Rushmore, Amelie, Napoleon Dynamite, Bottle Rocket, True Stories, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Shawshank Redemption, Ben Hur, Spartacus, Vikings, Lord of the Rings, Passion of the Christ, Iron Monkey, Rikk-O, Hoosiers, The Longest Yard, Edward Scissorhands, Labrynth, and so on!
Television
So I used to say that TV is bad for you and I don't watch it. Half of this has changed. I still think it is bad for you, however, I do watch sports and 'Law and Order'.
Books
I have read books and I like them... currently, and this may sound bad, but I am more interested in my story and how it ends then someone elses.

I like to be different. Not necessarily different from you, more different from yesterday. I like to change it up and avoid routines and patterns. Sometimes, when I find that my day is becoming all to familiar, I will interject something that I assure myself I have never done before. This might be chewing every bite of lunch exactly 16 times, just so I know that today is unlike anyone that I've ever had before.
I like adventure. I like doing things the hard way. Why? Well, if life is a story, then I want mine to be grand. I'll sacrifice my comfort anyday for the story. And believe me, I have ;)
I used to want to be a stunt man. I have a video illustrating this in 'my videos'. I hope to put som more up there once I locate all of my tapes and camera equipment.
My blog also has some videos if you're interested. I apologize for the stunts-don't-go-as-planned language. I try to articulate myself better than that these days, but you may understand more after viewing said blog.
I am working on a coffee table book of dead faced presidents. While I am not what you would call a good painter, this is better than past hobbies that I've had, so don't complain.
I'm an engineer, and a really big nerd.
and lastly, a super sweet secret message encoder/decoder... I know you love it!!!
Who I'd like to meet: So if you are here, you should do one of three things. If you are my friend, you should comment me about something... if you aren't my friend then you should add me or send me a message.
Happy birhtday, its been forever since i've seen ya or your lil brother,but i saw Vinnie on newyears at josh carters house, have a happy newyear to! peace~justin~
4 weeks of 4 times a week! This is incredible, I..m gonna have to do some research to make sure that this is a fact because I just cant believe it. Where are you training at Fairfax or with Sal?
I can and will get a plane ticket back to the US just to watch Dope case pending with you and Miguel, then fly back to brazil the next day.......Dont tempt me...
Oh and it's very liberating to finally accept who you are and not be afraid of the social pressure to confirm to the rules of society! Just like skinny dipping.
