I give you more!
Below are some of the other things I do or am into. I guess this page will continue to grow until it loads soo slow that nobody wants to look at it.

Disc Golf!
Backhand, forehand, tomahawk, shaq attack, squirly
First off I gotta tell you about the Pasedena hobo hommie. This guy seems to be wandering around the Pasedena course from time to time. He likes to talk to himself and sometimes interacts with the disc golfers. If you haven't seen him before here is a picture of me with him:
He's wearing his typical outfit (minus the alcohol in hand). You can't see it in the picture, but he's wearing those shorts over his sweatpants.
What's is disc golf? That is a common question I'm asked when I tell people I play disc golf. My response is usually something like this, "disc golf is like regular golf except you throw a disc, kinda like a frisbee but it goes further, into a basket with chains". There is a driver, mid range, and putter. You only really need 2 discs to play (driver and putter or mid range), but people accumulate large amounts for every possible shot.
The pros or the locals. They are always at the course (especially eldorado in long beach, ca). Most of them look homeless and they might be because they seem to always be there. One time I was at a Las Vegas course and saw a guy from the La Mirada course there. It's like you can't escape them - they're everywhere!
There are several terms used in disc golf. I will explain some of them to you so you can be in the know when you hit your local course:
Getting Squirly - this is when you throw a roller and it rolls right into a tree trunk. The disc will usually roll up the tree trunk a bit like a squirl runs up a tree. You might also hear the term, "squirled it" when you do this.
Shaq Attack - this is a putting style that is used to dominate those around you. When you are so close to the basket from a good shot you can Shaq Attack the basket by slamming your disc in like Shaq dunks a basketball.
Bird ta Boge - this is when you have a chance for a birdy (getting one under par for the hole) and end up getting a bogey (one over par for the hole). Usually occurs when one gambles with the putt and misses by a lot and then has a hard second putt. This is a horrible thing to do!
Mowing the Lawn / Trimming the Grass - this is when your drive goes right into the grass in front of you at full speed. Not fun.
Get Low - this is yelled out when your disc is flying toward a tree or some object and you want it to go beneth this object. Does it work? Absolutely!
Miracle Bird - this is when you get a birdy (one under par) on a shot that has very low odds of making it. For example, a 100 foot second shot. I once threw my disc up into a tree from 60 feet out and it trickled down and fell into the basket giving me a miracle bird.
Blunder - making a mistake. For example, throwing your disc out of bounds or into a lake.
The annual disc golf marathon. To date I've been a part of three disc golf marathons. The first marathon covered
Skulls!
Da bobcat and racoon
I have two animal skulls on my desk. One is a bobcat and the other is a racoon. I also have a mouse skull, but it is kinda messed up so it doesn't really compare to the other two. The reason the mouse skull is messed up is due to me digging it out of an owl ort. Don't know what an owl ort is? When an owl eats a mouse it swallows it whole and its stomach can't digest the bones, so the owl vomits up the bones with the fun in a neat little compressed pack called an ort. I ordered a 10 pack of owl orts off ebay and dug thru them bare handed and it's pretty nasty.
Here is a side view of my bobcat skull:

House Plants!
They help clean up my computer smog
Currently I have three house plants. I don't know what type they are exactly. All I know is one is of the fern family. The oldest is over one year old, but it is in the worst shape of the three. For some reason the bottom of it is brown. It can't be from not watering it enough because the top of it is perfectly green and healthy. I don't get it, but it continues to live. Take a look at it. Maybe you can diagnose its problem for me.
My second oldest plant is almost a year old. It was given to me as a birthday present. When I recieved the plant it has a smaller decorated pot. After about 5 months I upgraded the pot to a larger one. I can't tell if the plant has grown at all. It looks the same all the time. It has some branches that stick out to the side. It's lopsided. This plant has a couple bread clips on one of its branches.
My baby plant is around seven months old. It doesn't seem to grow much either. This plant takes the most water by far. I have to water this one at least twice a week. The other plants don't take much watering. I can't believe this plant hasn't out grown the other two because of all the water it takes.
Here is my computer area with plants and skulls in their normal spots. Notice how there is no computer smog.
