My music interests are greatly varied. Some of my favorite musical artists:
One of the biggest factors that determines what I listen to and when is my mood. I seem to crave "mood enhancing" music, even if the mood is a bad one. If I'm angry, I'll crave angry music, if sad, sad music, etc. Most I have talked to say they are the same way. Are we all emotional masochists?

If you like acting of any sort, or just like to play as someone you're not (hence "role playing"), this is a good
experience for you. Yes, once in awhile I do get around to doing some physical excercise. While attending Marist, I joined the Fencing club. I find this to be quite an enjoyable sport. I wish I was close
enough to school to still attend some of the practices. I have been told I am quite good at it. Part of this reason
would probably be because I am pretty thin, therefore having less target area than others. At any rate, it's a good sport.
If you haven't tried it, I suggest it.
There's another good one. Relaxing, yet it stretches you out and well...you just feel damn wonderful after doing it, if
a little sore for a couple days. After a couple weeks, you get used to it, and look forward to it each day. A good
workout, yet relaxing to the max. Can you beat that?
Now here is a good game. If you haven't played, go get yourself a 175 gram frisbee (professional weight and the only
way to fly -- no pun intended), find some friends and get out there. If you don't know how to play, you'll find a
comprehensive list of Ultimate Frisbee links
here.
A good team game and overall a fun experience. Just watch out for the floor burn during inside games. It's a killer.
Something I learned how to do several summers ago, and it turned out that I'm quite a natural at it.
Now don't expect to see me
doing tricks out in the parking lot or anything, but at least I can go in a straight line (mostly) and stop when necessary
(usually). Ok, so I need a little practice. If you've got a little extra money and want to try something new, I suggest
this. Again watch out for the burn -- this time from the pavement or asphalt. Worse than floor burn, trust me.
Skiing, walking, hiking, martial arts.
All listed vary from good to great excercise. Get out there and do something!
Ah, the great role-playing game. I am an avid fan of Dungeons and Dragons, and have been playing for some
17 years or so. During this time I have experienced many variations of this game and have played many other types of RPGs
as well, ranging from Vampire: The Masquerade to Gamma World, which, while fun for a short time, did not keep my interest
in the long run the way that true D&D has. I also am interested in live-action roleplaying (LARPs).
