That's me on the right. Cool huh? I don't want to use his full name, but you may know the guy on the left. It's Nick S., who is a classmate of mine. We both play paintball for a team named UnderRated, which competes at a regional level in SEPS (South Eastern Paintball Series). We've never been to the finals, but we've done well for our first year as a team. My goals for our team are to win a SEPS event by the end of next season and at some point play a tournament at the national level.

Of course, I have plenty of interests outside of paintball. I love music and I play both the guitar and a bit of drums, and I've been told I sing decently (I actually just learned how to scream, and it's pretty fun). I can listen to just about any type of music, the exceptions being rap and country. A few of my friends and I are attempting to get a band together, but it's coming along slowly. We don't really know what type of music we want to play, and none of us can drive yet so regular practice is hard to do.

I also love roller coasters. I think the source of this interest was an old PC game you might know: Roller Coaster Tycoon. It got me hooked, and now I can name stats from roller coasters across the country. If you comment your favorite roller coaster below I can probably tell you a lot about it. One of my favorite sites is http://www.coaster-net.com/. It's a forum where I can go geek out about coasters and save my girlfriend's ears. One of the career fields I'm looking into is engineering, and designing roller coasters might be a possibility with that sort of education. How awesome would it be to end up designing coasters for Intamin, the company that brought us Top Thrill Dragster, Millenium Force, Maverick, and more?

Anyways, that's just a little bit about me. If you want to know more, just ask. I'm always up for making new friends.
