My good friend at Everybody's a Critic inspired me to make a post like this. Check his blog out too, since he's gonna be reviewing some pretty cool stuff. He knows his stuff, so I see his reviews being very helpful in the future. (There's your damn endorsement.)
Anyway. As previously mentioned, I'm a swimmer. I started swimming in 8th grade after my younger brother started. I got serious about it my junior year and decided to swim in college. Once the season hits, swimming takes up pretty much my entire life: double practices monday and friday, two hours wednesday morning and monday, tuesday, thursday, and friday afternoons, and three hours on saturday if there's not a meet. (And my schedule isn't on the less-intense end of the spectrum.) I'm a Mid-distance freestyler. My favorite events are the 100 and 200 free, but I also like to dabble in the 50 and 100 back, the 50 and 100 fly, and the 200 IM.
Outside of the pool, I divide my time pretty well between my schoolwork and being a college guy. I'm a math major and a brother in Tau Kappa Epsilon. I subscribe to the "work hard, play hard" philosophy, although I do know how to keep my priorities in order when I need to.
In high school my other passions, aside from swimming, were the Violin and art. I started playing violin when I was 9, and played until the end of high school. I still have my violin and still play it from time to time. I started drawing when I was 12 because I wanted to draw my own Dragon Ball Z comics. Senior year I had one of my pieces featured in an exhibit at the Katonah Museum. Who says TV does nothing but rot your brain?
I watch a lot of different things. Currently I'm watching Good Eats on the Food Network. Actually, the Food Network is probably the most watched channel on my TV at home, and there's nothing wrong with that. I like food. And being a swimmer, I like to eat it. Lot's of it. I've always been fascinated by animation. It's really an under-appreciated art form. Anime in particular. I was really big into anime when I was younger, now I don't watch as many different series but I still dabble in it. I'm currently pretty deep into Bleach, which is an awesome show. Explosions and swords. Done.
Video games are also a big hobby of mine. I said animation is an under-appreciated art form, but that statement applies indefinitely to video games. I love it when games push the envelope into the art world. Games like Shadow of the Colossus can keep me entranced for days, but that's for (hopefully) another blog.
That's pretty much it for me. If there's something you're dying to know, leave it in a comment.
Until next time, keep swimming.
