My interests are also my favorite activities. I enjoy fishing, camping, and most things outdoors. Activities don't stop there, I don't mind thinking a small enclosed space designing, producing, and releasing open-source things I create with my "Interests."
I am attending a university to become an electrical engineer. I can manage to learn out of a book, but rather learn hands-on. Learning in the University is mainly out of box. To compensate for lack of hands-on learning I have many projects I do outside of school. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, and have a passion for the volunteer work I do. I am also a Boy Scout I have earned the Eagle award, and volunteer with CERT (community emergency response team). An activity that better qualifies as an interest is underwater vehicles. I am in the process of creating a remote-controlled submarine was to go sending it to the death of 300 m.
Most of my favorite music is old music because it has already proven its self. Some of the best music comes from the Eagles, and Boston. I don't mind listening to modern soft rock and pop, but it gets boring, because it's all the same music just sung by different people.
The best movies are the few where the main character dies at the end. The character must die accomplishing his purpose in such a way where it would not be accomplished otherwise.
When I find a favorite book I generally find the favorite author, my favorite author is Jules Verne. I should throw Robert Kiyosaki in there too.
I try an not waste time watching TV shows, because once I start I have to finish and I get nothing done in between. The TV show I did enjoy was "Burn Notice."
