Neat. What kind of media do you like and/or use the most?

Skimboarding looks like regular surfing, but with a smaller board and closer to shore ?

I love games, of all types. Card, miniature, strategy/tactics, shooting, and just about anything else that proves a challenge. I do get really competitive with FPSs tho. My friends think its funny that I will spontaneously call out "BULL SHIT" and scream at the screen for 1.5 seconds then be fine like nothing happened.
Live music is important to me. Gimme friends, music, and food and I will be happy. This quote says it well: "we want a scene, where the music is free, and the beer is not the life of the party" -Against Me!

Oooo. Martial arts. Forgot about that. I'm interested in it, but haven't had much opportunity to participate. So far just a semester of Wushu while I was abroad in China, which was awesome

My old high school (supposedly) is the only public school in the nation with a Brazilian Jiujitsu club. Incidentally, the club is sponsored and taught by our Chem II teacher ... let's just say that when I walked in the first day of chem class and saw him standing in front of the room I was like

"Is that the teacher?" My classmates had fun putting AP test labels on his back after the test and watching him attempt to get it off. :P

skimboarding is actually coasting on the shore where there is less then an inch of water. that video i linked is people that are way advanced at it and go further in and trick off the waves. basically you use speed to stay above the water. you run as fast as you can and toss the board and get on.

Is it easier or harder than regular boarding? I've never had the pleasure of trying either, sadly.

Wushu is the ballet of Kungfu.
I would really like to go to china for an extended stay. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Nice.

China is very fun... other than the smog that turns your snot back (no joke), the trash everywhere, and people spitting on the ground right in front of you

But really, lots to do and see there. If you like natural scenery you can opt for a more rural area for cleaner air. Oh yeah... bring your own TP...and hand sanitizer

Oooo kendo... want to teach me? I've got a bokken for practicing

MMA - Mixed Martial Arts. As for tattoos, getting them. It's a form of art.
