Hobbies

Soccer
Since the age of 5, I have played organized soccer and I would like to keep playing until the age of 105.  I have been a part of many successful teams and I can say from personal experience that there is no better feeling on earth than winning a championship in something that one's put an emense amount of work into.   

Knowledge
I'm always up for a good game of Trivial Pursuit.  As a high school student I was an active member of my school's academic team, and I feel that's shaped me into who I am as a person today.  I enjoy learning new and interesting things.  And then once I learn them, I enjoy having a chance to show off what I've learning ;) So whether it's Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy!, or breaking out the buzzers with friends or at school, I always up for a good trivia game.

Reading
I've recently acquired a joy of devouring a good book.  I practically always have a book on me, usually a history book or a math book, which I read any time I have a spare moment. 

Football
Growing up, I did play some organized football, but when I got to the age of ten, my family got tired of driving me to all the different sports that I participated in so i chose soccer.  But I still play football all the time.  I have played for three years in the intramural programs at the University of Florida and I enjoy it very much.

Working out  
Whenever I get a chance I go to the gym and workout with friends. Or when I'm at home, I have workout equipment in my garage.  Self-improvement is very important to me as well as keeping healthy.

Kayaking
I recently acquired a kayak.  I enjoy taking it out on the river for a relaxing outing.  Thus far I have not tried whitewater kayaking, but one day I would like to.

DVD's
I don't know if this is a hobby or a vice, I guess it can probably be both.  I like to shop for, buy, and rent DVDs.  I consider myself somewhat of a movie-buff.  Right now my personal collection of DVD's is around 160.
