First of all,
I love computers. Even as a child, I would sit up late on school nights and record the statistics as I was playing a game
of RBI Baseball on Ninetendo...or, even try to set my new personal record with the game of PACMAN on Atari. Aside
from computers, I also enjoy animals. As much as I have been through in my life, nothing touches my heart more than
rescuing a homeless cat or dog. I have the ability to place myself in the shoes of those that are hat, whether the hurt
be an animal or a human. Reading has, for as long as I can remember, been a passion of mine. Somewhere along
the line, my reading interests turned away from science fiction and toward self-help (which hopefully isn't fictional) and
technical journals. Finally, raising plants (not the same as gardening, mind you) is slowly becoming a passion of
mine. What kind of plants do I like? Hmmm...I really do like long, viney-like plants. Why? They typically are low-maintenance,
long-living, and they symbolically have something in common with me. What's that, you say? Like the length growths
of those viney plants that I raise, I believe in extending myself in different directions. In simplicity, I fear tunnel-vision. Some of my hobbies in the past have been both participating in and attending high school marching band contests. Nothing gets my blood flowing quicker than watching a great band blow the socks off everyone with both their sound and "killer" visuals. With the word "visual", non-marching band people, I mean the drill movements of the shows. You can just tell a great band by the way they come on the football field, the poise that they carry, the image that they project. Their eyes are staring dead straight into the eyes of the judges, saying "I want this trophy and I am going to earn it !!!....Now, THAT is exciting! |
