Music, Movies, and Books

Not huge on movies, but The Matrix is a favorite. Super eclectic music tastes - favorite current artists are Jake Shimabukuro, Los Lonely Boys, Mayer Hawthorne, Amos Lee and Zac Brown Band. I read a ton of stuff online, but right now I'm reading a travelogue from a guy who lived in China for 2 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping into the big blue ocean from 15-20m high off the coast of Thailand after rock climbing up with no ropes or harnesses = completely insane but totally awesome :)
