I have many interests. I am a strong believer in Christ and I use His life as a model for my own. My aim is to please my Maker and live a life worthy to be called God's child.
I enjoy traveling and learning other cultures. We can learn so much from other people and cultures.
I am a musician, I play the bass guitar. I began playing simply because someone I thought was really cool played it. Not a good reason to begin playing an instrument, but I have since adopted the bass guitar as a love and passion of my own.
I love motorcycle riding. It is one of my favorite things to do with my Dad. Waking up, not early in the morning, and going for a long ride stopping only to have a late breakfast at a hole in the wall restaurant. I just enjoy the freedom of riding. The exhilaration of riding on the wind. I love it.
I enjoy reading. I have not always loved reading though. When I was younger my mother worked very hard to find books that would be interesting to me so that I could appreciate reading. It worked and I am now hooked on reading. Well, I have taken some time off the hobby since graduation. I was a little tired or only reading and not enjoying other interests.
I love painting. I always wanted to learn how to paint but never had the time because I was always studying. I have never had art lessons so I don't know all the rules but I paint and teach myself what I think would work. I realized that I could freehand draw and paint with acrylic paint quite by accident. I was going to hire a friend to draw up a picture of a tree and then I would try to paint it. Well, she is a mother of three and was pretty busy with her own projects so I though, what the heck. I may as well try it myself, if it does not work at least I tried. To my amazement the picture turned out pretty good. I have it hanging above my bed still. I have continued on with painting and other than a picture of Audrey Hepburn that is in my house I have done all the artwork in my house.
I have just learned that I enjoy cooking. I have always enjoyed baking. Growing up there were six of us kids. I was the baker. I made brownies and cookies because I had/have a major sweet tooth. The only rule was if I made something I had to clean up the mess. Brownies is my specialty, not too gooey but not overbaked is a hard line to find. I was never a fan of cooking because who wanted to spend an hour cooking an cleaning up only to spend 10 minutes eating. I would prefer to spend the hour studying and then make a grilled cheese or something else rather fast. Grilled cheese is also a specialty of mine... As I said, I am learning to love cooking. I have a couple cooking heroes that inspire me.
Well, that about sums me up. Not too interesting not too lame just your average person.
