That's pretty neat. Do you play classical at all? I think being able to play classical is a feat. A guy at work has a Roland Altier and made his own Christmas music this year; quite impressive. My mother is musically inclined and plays piano/organ. She wanted me to follow but if it didn't have wheels and an engine, I wasn't interested..

I built the 70 Cuda in the pic from the ground up. I had someone else paint it. I wanted it Hemi orange, but my wife likes purple, so Plum Crazy it became (anything to make her like it hehe).

Thanks :)

I plan to be a composer! :D

That cuda sounds pretty sweeT! :cool:

I have a few WWII and WWI items. I have about a 1 inch by 3 inch piece of a P-Zero and a Hitler Youth Knife, both my Grandfather's that I have been given.

My Grandfather also found a WWI US bayonet that he foudn while walking in a field in France shortly before the outbreak of WW2. It is in bad shape because of it being in a field for a few decades, but it is my favorite item in my mini collection.

Paintball- have probably spent over $2,500+ on it, my current gun set-up costs about $1,350 (I'll post pics if you guys want)

Snowboarding- I just love to hit the open mountain, i just got back from 5 days of snowboarding in Killington, Vermont.

Videogames- of course

School - it sucks, but I get good grades so my mom is happy which in turn makes me happy because I get rewarded :)

Like JimmyTango I found my old comic and card collections about a year ago. Now have close over 2,000 comics and probably 15 years of baseball cards (much to my wife's chagrin). Almost all comics are WW2 oriented, most being from the 50's through the 70's.

Reading, I guess. Mostly fantasy and sci-fi. Non-fiction too. I'm a big Star Wars fan, basically.

I'm really into movies, not as much as some of my friends who can tell you the director for any movie released domestically. But close.

I like photography (just recieved my first digital camera a month ago, before that I was using a cool old one that my brother gave me) though I don't pretend to know much about it. Same goes for music, I'm okay at producing and editing it (my friend's dad has a studio), and I love to listen to it, but I can't play anything at all.

I used to be into Frisbee Golf (it's just like it sounds) before I became lazy and found I had no one to really play with.

I'm not really all that special in my interests. I'm pretty much a geek, so you can base everything I do around that.
