I'm the type of guy who likes walks in the park while the summer sun is setting on the crest of a westward hill.
Just kidding:
Cycling, Running (especially through canyons or forest), Swimming (after I've been doing it consistently for a couple of months), Chemistry (it makes me feel smart), Rock Climbing (before I was shown up by a 40 year old Dutchman), MUSIC!!!!, Traveling (just picked this one up), driving way too fast in my convertable and Architecture just to name a few.
Music
LOVE IT!!! I have to thank my brother for introducing me to hip hop when I was the tender age of eight. I use to steal records like DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Slick Rick, Eric B and Rakim, UMC's, EPMD out of his crates and play them for hours on end. Now, I've expanded on my musical tastes but still view hip hop as a corner stone in my love for music.
Movies
Television
I'm such an idiot. I threw out my tv a year ago and forgot to buy a new one. Oh well... more time for sports.
Books
Black people don't read. Ouch... was that too racy. I've been stuck reading physical chemistry text for the past year. So you'll have to excuse the out dated list. Let's see:
The Hardy Boys,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coloring Books,
The Little Engine that Could (Classic, a nice little pick me up),
The Triathaletes Training Bible (not quite as good as the previous selections,
Do 9 issues of Dwell Magazine count?
The Invisible Man,
Moving Toward Balance (8 weeks of Yoga,
Eat, Drink and Be Healthy (Harvard Med School Guide to Healthy Eating)((Like we should bother listening to these guys, I think lunch at Micky Dees is perfectly healthy),
Thai Home Cooking (Thanks Jasi)
Heroes
Malcom X. With out the efforts he put forth in his life, I would not be who I am or where I am in mine.

Who I'd like to meet: Is this the part where I'm supposed to give shout outs? I'm a little nervous. Okay here it goes.
Wes Anderson (to express my admiration),
Common (to feed off of his positive energy),
Lance Armstrong (to discuss trade secrets),
Jan Ulich (to tell him what I learned from Lance),
George W. Bush (to simply ask, why?),
Trey Parker (to meet the mind behind Eric Cartman),
?love (to discuss music and the state of hip hop),
Oprah Winfrey (just to make my mother jealous),
a non-rich person who was able build their dream home,
an environmental consultant,
people who don't believe a big car is better simply because it's bigger,
Denzel Washington (to make my father jealous),
Pope Benedict XVI (to ask him why he made such a foolish statement about muslims).
I'm starting to get preachy. Some might take my compassion for weakness.
