| | Hmmm, What are my hobbies, huh? Well, as I've
said before, Football is about my most favorite thing. But I also enjoy
reading, writing short stories, music, and movies. So, without further
delay, enjoy delving into my mind!

 | Football: What else can I say? Oh, wait I
know what! My favorite game to play is Football
Pro '98. No matter what is out on the market, I believe FBP98 is
THE best computer football game ever! The bad part is,
Sierra
Sports decided to come out with Football Pro '99. On the surface,
this wasn't a bad idea. Since FBP98 did so well, why not come out with
a new version? Well, the idea wasn't the problem, their results
were. Their first mistake was to rewrite the product. If a
formula works, why change it drastically? Sierra changed the entire
way you play the game. The second mistake, was not properly testing
the product. Because of their desire to have a Christmas product
(besides the fact that 1999 was right around the corner -- it was released
in December '98), it shipped with so many bugs that after about 3 months on
the shelves, Sierra admitted their really huge mistake and recalled the
game, sometime around April or May of '99. But, fear not, FBP98 is
still alive and kicking. Moreover, with the talent and work of
Players99,
we can still get league file updates and even participate in an online
league! |

 | Reading: I'm a Fiction reader.
The main writers I like are
Stephen
King and
James
Redfield. Although, I have read
Peter
Straub, and
Maya
Angelo. But my main influence in my writing style is King. I
do, however, believe that I have created my own style and hope to one day
enhance that style. But, as you'll see (read) in the next item, you
can decide for yourself.

 | Short Stories: This is an unfinished
piece of work I'm currently writing. It was originally written for an
English class in college, back in '85. But, about 2 years ago, I
dusted the story off, updated the timeline and references, and started
adding to it. If you want, check back later to see how it's
going. Although, I don't intend to publish the entire story on this
website, you can at least watch as the story develops. The story is
called "Redemption" and is
about a man, who finally finds love, only to have it taken away from
him. He then has to rebuild his life and to eventually (or maybe not)
discover another love.
|
 | Music: R&B is my choice of music.
Although, I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music. I enjoy Rock,
Jazz, Classical, Rap, Hip Hop, and probably any music that has a good
beat. My best websites to add to my collection are
BMG
Music Service, Amazon, and
CDNow.
If you must have your music "on the go", then I find
Audio
Catalyst to be one of the best
CD
Ripping software. If you don't know what
CD
Ripping is, click

Movies: Here's another area, where my taste
is very eclectic. I like comedies mostly, but then I also
go for mysteries, westerns, action, drama, science fiction, and
horror. I've started my little DVD collection through these
websites: Columbia House,
Amazon,
CDNow,
and Barnes & Noble.
