Besides travel, I love to eat. You really couldn't tell by how thin I am. I never gain the weight back after all the years of wrestling. If you ask my friends, they would say I'm a picky eater, which I disagree with. I only ask that my food be cooked in a decent way. Honestly, how hard is it to cook food correctly. I will eat almost anything, except cream of corn. Why? I don't know. It's just the food I've picked out to hate. What types of food do I like? I think seafood and oriental would be my first two choices, then Mexican and Italian. I love Greek food, and of course, good ole American food. Cajun and Creole are high on my list, as is bar-b-que. Deli food is good, as long as it's a decent deli.

Here are a few of the restaurants I like to eat at: Grand House, Pearl's, Green Iguana, Chelinos, Country Line, Bellini's, Bricktown Brewery, Someplace Else Deli, Olive Garden, and just about any place that serves oysters-on-the-half shells. I will not eat at the Cracker Barrel. Long story, but suffice to say, horrific service and bad food twice in a row is enough for me.

One thing that is really strange about when I go out to eat, you wouldn't believe the number of times I've got the wrong food, no food at all, or they are out of what I want to eat. It's bizarre. My friends and I haven't quit figure out why it happens to me so much, but it's very weird. I am very lucky - good things happen to me all the time. So I think it's a Karma thing to balance out my life.

Sailing is my major past time now. Letty is the captain and owner of the boat ‘Back In Black.’ In May 2002, we came in dead last (we sucked). But in September 2002, we had improved so much, we got 4^th place! 

I really enjoy photography, but I'm not as good as I would like to be. I currently own a Kodak digital camera, which I take with me everywhere. My buddy Ty is tired of all the photos I take, so I try to avoid including him in the pictures. :-) I collect beanie babies. Yes, I know, it's sad. It was something my ex-wife was into. Now it is hard to stop, because of the large investment in them.

I usually go to art galleries when I travel. As I mentioned previous, the National Gallery of Art in DC is probably my favorite. Lots of Monets, Manets, Van Goghs, and other Impressionist. While Monet has been my favorite for years, I'm starting to gravitate towards Van Gogh. When in DC last, I went to the Hirsshorn Modern Art Museum. There are certain things about modern art I love, and certain things I really don't care for. I also like oriental art.

I like driving around and seeing beautiful scenery, but I'm not much of the camping person any more. But, I can take a beach anytime. I use to do it all the time in high school and college. I even taught backpacking and hiking at OSU.

I enjoy almost anything related to water activities. I was a lifeguard for five summers in my hometown. I really enjoy water volleyball, but only if people don't take it to seriously. I know how to water ski (slalom), windsurf, and sail. I use to have my own sailboat and windsurfer. Hanging out at a beach is always cool.

Just like everyone else in this world, I enjoy music and movies. There isn't much music I don't like, but have been listening to Foo Fighters, Creed, and Bush. Seems like I listen to a lot of alternative music. I like classical, punk, industrial, pop, heavy metal, and just about everything else, except rap and I can tolerate country & western. I even went to the KISS concert. The movies I like range from the mainstream to the bizarre. I really like the Matrix, American Psycho, and the Green Mile.
