My Interests
Note: My interests are subject to change without notice, or rather as I notice something else interesting...
People are the most interesting part of life. In my travels, I have noticed one thing. No matter how diverse the cultures, what language, manner of dress, local customs, etc, that are commonplace in that particular location, people around the world are basically the same anywhere you may go. For all that basic similarity, each individual is exactly that, an individual, and there is no one else like him or her in the world.
Why things work the way they do is something else I find fascinating. I like to understand what makes things work. There is far more that I don't know or understand than that which I do, but everything from how enough heat, (fire,) can turn most of the mass of a piece of wood into gas, to how a bunch of weak threads can be woven into strong and durable cloth, to anything like that is fascinating to me. This has led to unfortunate things happening like my buying some new toy, and having to take it apart to see how it works, and then not being able to get it back together and working again, but it's fun... :-)
History is one of the things I find most interesting. How the world came to be what it is today, and why and how different people's did the things they have done to make it so is the best way to learn how to improve our future and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Reading is something I do on a very regular basis. I like SciFi and Fantasy for pure entertainment, but books on just about any subject, (let's leave out romance novels,) are enjoyed, as long as the author is interesting and doesn't try to write about something he or she knows nothing about. (One of my pet peeves is having a story that pretends to try to be a story, but is so unbelievable that the suspension of reality is lost.) I've tried several times to get through "War and Peace", but that sucker is SOOOOO boring, I haven't made it yet. :-)
Different Cultures are a constant source of fascination to me. I love learning about the traditions, meanings behind the traditions, and variations of the different people of the world. Each has it's own unique qualities, some pro to my New Mexican raised eyes, but all unique and beautiful in it's own ways.
Music of almost all types is something I enjoy. The exceptions to this would be MOST rap songs. I can't say that any one type is my favorite because it depends on my mood, and I don't care for the genre's particularly, but individual artists and songs. Music is the purest expression of emotion that I know of.
Children are ALWAYS fascinating to me. Looking at the world through their eyes gives a whole new perspective on life as a whole, and things in particular specifically. There is so much we can learn from little children about the world if we take the time to listen to what they've figured out about how it works and why.
