I've been playing bass for about 12 years now, taught myself guitar, and have competed in music festivals.

I also do freelance design work, and design work for the company I'm starting soon.

I also like to build electronic stuff, like guitar/bass effects pedals and amplifiers.

I delved into photography for a bit, but I sold my digital camera a few months ago. I'd like to get a dSLR.

I'm also a video game junkie (currently playing EVO: Search for Gaia on SNES)

Photography (although not so good but I can still enjoy trying right..)

I really enjoy watching films.

Like to go out with my friends.

A little bit of off-roading - which is cool but don't own a 4x4 myself and my friend recently got rid of his so this might be the end :(

Freight train hopping
sounds kind of cool and also perhaps a little dangerous as well...

Lot of photographers on this forum, should be no surprise really. I like to watch a lot of sports:

NFL, NCAA Football/Basketball, NBA.

I also like to golf, although I didn't much this past year.

Tennis, not very good but I still try

And a lot of Halo 3 on xbox >.<

Reading. Politics. Working.

In general, I try to keep my free time to a minimum. Only a few times a week do I usually have time to myself. And I mostly spend that time with friends just relaxing :)

I like cars. I enjoy driving, and cleaning cars inside and out (detailing). Unless they are to the point of being disgusting on the inside. I enjoy a challenge on the outside though. I haven't perfected wax, and I refuse to use it until I know for sure what I am doing. I spend a lot of my day in my room on car forums.


Aside from that, I enjoy going out with friends and time with my nephew (when he is behaving;) ).

I like trying new things (I'm up for almost anything outside). I want to go snow boarding and skydiving soon. I enjoy being on the lake during the summer in a kayak or canoe, and an occasional real rock climb.
