I'm not a partier. I don't go out clubbing. I enjoy being around people and having a good time, but I don't feel the need to drink or do drugs to enjoy myself. That doesn't mean I don't drink, and I have no problem with people who can responsibly and safely have a good time any way they choose.

Here is a list of the things I like, and any related material on them.

bulletAmusement Parks - Somehow, someone suckered me into going on a roller coaster (the stand-up coaster Vortex at Great America in Santa Clara, California) and I've been a fan ever since. Park photos are available in the travel section.
bulletCoaster Fanatics - view my ride list and find out a bunch about roller coasters.
bulletTheme Park Review - Robb and Elissa have the best amusement park website out there, because it's personal, comprehensive and funny! I wish I had the money they did to go away as often as they do.
bulletRoller Coaster Database - details on every roller coaster current, coming, and gone.
bulletThe Flat Joint - hasn't been updated since May 2006, but a great source for rides that aren't roller coasters.
bulletTravel - I travel any time I can - it's always good to get away from the daily grind of my job.
See my travel website! There is a vast amount of content.
bulletPhotography - if you've been to my travel site you know I like to take pictures. See the photo gallery (link to the left) for my favorite shots.
bulletMovies - I've seen more than 2000 movies.
My favorites:
bulletAlmost Famous
bulletWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original one)
bulletClerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
bulletMusic - With well over 17,000 tracks, legally obtained, my music collection contains everything from Beethoven to Snoop Dogg. I love going to concerts, too. I didn't think I would, but the energy from the crowd and the involvement in the music is hard to match when you're at an event. The main page has a link to a list of concerts I have attended and want to see.
Favorite artists:
bulletBen Folds
bulletMadonna (pre-Music)
bulletQueen
bulletThe Beatles
bulletBaseball - I've been playing since 1989 (though I don't play on a team any more). I assistant coach at the high school where I teach, I see about 20 games a year between the Braves, nearby minor league teams, and teams where I'm traveling to. I also have a baseball card project I've been working on since 2003. Photos of stadiums I've been to since 2005 are available in the travel section.
