Music, Movies, and Books

I like punk and rock mostly but like some rap. Not a huge fan of country. Music taste is hard to pinpoint and it changes. But some of the bands I like are:
Sublime, Rage against the machine, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Dear Landlord, The Dopamines, Iron Chic, Hop Along, Laura Stevenson and The Cans, La Dispute.
Favorite Books: Huckleberry Finn, Swiss Family Robinson, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Where the Red Fern Grows, and many more that I can't think of at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have recently become involved with hardcourt bike polo. Its the urban version of the original polo, but people play on bikes instead of horses. Not only do I love the sport but its such a great community of people. The crew that I play with in Orlando are amazing and we travel to different cities to play with other bike polo clubs. I have also learned alot about bikes and how to fix them. Its a great sport that everyone should checkout if they ever get the opportunity.

Teach, Learn, Share
