This is My Hobbies Page

Though I do not have a lot of spare time any more, the things which I am able to do when I have time are to be found here.

First : Chat

I have been using chat rooms for about 5 years now. I started doing so when I first moved to Blacksburg, VA for my freshman year of college. The one I use primarily at this point is the one found at College Club. There is one that I used to use on a regular basis as well, and that one was known as The Ultimate Chat. I have found many friends in both places, and just the other day ventured back to Ultimate Chat just to see if I still knew any one, and found 5 people logged in at the time that still knew me. What a wonderful feeling.

Second : Music

I have been playing the piano/keyboard since I was in the fourth grade. I took lessons for about 4 years, and then started writing some of my own music, which I used to share on my original website and may be found there still, with permission. Since then, I have found a few programs that I like, which allows me to digitally compose music by combining various wave files. The program is called Magix Music Maker.In so doing I have made 3 cd's of my own music, including one track which was written on 9/10/01 which was later revised, having fit the events of 9/11/01 perfectly. I went back and added clips of Bush's speech from that night to it. Music, whether I am writing it or listening to it, is one of the best things in my life.

Third : Knife Collecting

I have begun to collect various knives and swords which do have a central theme. Below are a few pictures of some of the knives/swords that I actually own. See if you can notice the theme.
