My Hobbies
- Chess http://www.uscf.org--this
is the Official Page of the US Chess Federation
- Chess is a game for two and while it may look like just
another board game, it isn't. People actually do make a
living out of this truly respected lifestyle. While I am
not so much in love with chess, I do play it often.
Especially online.
- Golf
- Golf is a cool SPORT. Yes, peoples, golf is considered a
sport. In some ways, it's just as dangerous as football
and/or baseball. I mean after all, the only equipment the
players wear is a polo shirt and khaki pants. Not a
helmet, or whatever. And the golf club, nice, sturdy
stick of steel OR titanium. If one was to get hit with
one of these, we're talking major bruises or even
paralysis(if the club was to make contact with the
spine). So, lighten up peoples, golf is a sport. Oh, and
I'm not talking about pee-wee golf here.
- Badminton
- Somewhat like tennis. Except the shuttlecock moves at
speeds up to 125mph in championship play. It's pretty
safe, depending on if you're playing with the recreation
shuttle cock(made of durable plastic with a rubber
bottom), or if you are playing with the shuttlecocks
played in championship games (made of tough plastic with
attached feathers for speed). Either way, if you're
playing, you are burning calories of some sort, and
badminton IS considered a sport.
- Swimming
- Swimming........Don't we all love to swim? Just a couple
of years ago, I didn't know how to swim. It was pure
misery, especially one time in my 5th grade class when
the whole class went to a waterpark for the last day of
school. I didn't know how to swim, so I couldn't enjoy
the fun. Except for that one game of pee-wee golf where I
won everyone. But anyways, I couldn't swim. But just
recently, after learning how to swim, I spent more time
playing around in my home swimming pool and at my sports
club, entered contests or swimathons or whatever you call
them and stayed cool.... away from the summer's heat!!!
- Mountain Biking/Hiking
- Now, if you know me, you wouldn't think I'm the kind of
person which bikes on rough trails down the mountaintops,
"it's just not Dean." Well, you're wrong. I
love riding places with my mountain bike, I even had a
recent upgrade to it, I had super shock-absorbing
thingies installed onto it. And then there's hiking. Now
I don't mean climbing Mt. Everest or Mt. McKinley, just
the normal type of hiking people would do. I just love
the thrilling and exhilarating feeling you get when
you're probably at least 700ft. higher than most other
people. Now, I'd have to admit, this is no sport, this is
an EXTREME sport.
- Computers
- For those who know me, I also spend SOME time(not my
entire day, only some time) on the computer. I might be
checking/writing emails or chatting with pals over
AIM/ICQ, or even creating/updating my webpage. Either
way, I am not a computer nerd as someone I know once
called me.
