Blogs I check out

tagged me today. Well. I guess I'm it.

  1. Drag Racing: One thing that I really enjoy besides .NET is drag racing. Last year I fell in love with the new Dodge Magnum and the whole Chrysler LX platform. These cars promised to bring back the muscle car wars that were happening in the late 60's. So, I had to buy one. And it had to have a Boy was I in for a treat with this ride. It ran a 14.0 second 1/4 mile bone stock! Which is nothing to sneeze at coming from a 4300 pound station wagon. :) I've since put some more money into the car and am turning mid 13-second passes. This spring the car will see a beefed-up bottom end and a big turbo.12-07-06 001
  2. Music: Straight out of high school, I spent a large part of my life playing, touring, and recording music with various hardcore bands. I've seen the country many times for virtually free and got to meet a bunch of different types of people. While I still play with bands, most people aren't able to pick up and take a 2-3 month vacation to go on tour. So, the bands stay local, for the most part. Out of anything I've ever done in my life, I truly miss this the most.
  3. Business. I own a small aftermarket parts online store. It's something that I need to put a bit more time into.  Factory DAnother thing I'm constantly thinking of, is buying absentee owned businesses and rental properties.
  4. Skateboarding. I've been a skateboarder since I was 10. Not as much now. But, I still enjoy to go skate every once in awhile.
  5. Change. Coding is one of my favorite things to do. There are few things better than the feeling of seeing a bunch code that your wrote do something useful or cool. That being said, I'm getting really tired of sitting behind of a computer all day long. I, badly, need a career change and make coding a hobby again.

Well. That's not it! There is a lot more to me than those five things. I just couldn't think of anything more interesting. :)

And since I don't really follow many blogs anymore, I taking my ball and going home. I don't have anyone in mind to tag. ;)
