what are your passions/addictions?

I love trilobites. They're so cool. I have a couple of the little bugs, and a vertabrae of a whale, a couple of shark teeth, tons of scallops, pieces of a ray's dental plate, tips of crab claws, moon snails, and I could go on. My prize is a large crocodile tooth. Found it myself!! I took a class (morphology of extinct animals) on them and I've been addicted ever since.

I am also very passionate about my family. They rock. I would never have gotten this far without them. :love:

i collect skulls of different animals... and puzzles too. i loooooooove a good puzzle!

and thankfully i don't drink, so drugs or smoke... cause those addictions would just cut into my spending $$ for the others LOL

adam, you are so frank and to the point... i love that about you LOL

I think I showed you my alligator jaw fossil, no?

I've got fossil fish that are real cool.. snail/scallop fossils many of which I found in the back yard. Tons of Lake Michigan fossils.. fun stuff.

I used to want to be an archeologist. Speaking of which, add another love to the mix: Dinosaurs! (it's the kid in me ;))

Also, a fanatic about my hair---always buying expensive products that I can't afford---and tanning. Comes from working in a beauty salon for four years.

In your own backyard?! Show off. :neener: Yeah I remember our fossil thread hijack. Those were cool. I want some cool ones, but just can't afford it. Oh well. Maybe later!

Ooh I love dinosaurs too!! What's your favorite? Mine as a kid was always stegosaurus. I like the more exotic craterosaurus now. Deinonychus and dimetrodon rock too.

Yeah I find lots of shell fossils in my yard.. when I was real little I found a rock with three shells that were loose in the matrix.. you could screw them in and out of the rock, and there was the imprint of the spiral in the rock when they were out.

I'm addicted to classic rock, normal rock, sports, and clothes

Oh yeah and all animals. . . should be a given :P

I collect guns, everyone in my family shoots except for my 5 yr old, he is getting his first gun this spring. I have 17 guns in all, I want a S&W 500 Magnum for my next hand gun. My wife and kids are all crack shots and very comfortable with them.

I love to cook. I just refuse to unless I can make it homemade. It is an affair when I cook, everything fresh and sometimes hours to prepare. When I was stationed in France, the chef at our hotel and I traded recipes a lot. I use the term "recipes" loosely, I cook from the cuff. You will never have the same bowl of chili at my house, but you will always have a great one.

I work on computers a lot designing websites for friends and just as a hobby. You want a website done, let me know and I will probably do it for free.

Music, who doesn't live music. I like it all but have a real passion for country. When the instruments and voice come together and you have a hard time telling them apart, you have ART.

I love to drive, the faster the better. You can't beat a hair pin curve at 90 MPH. I could drive for ever if I could afford the gas. Yes, it's got a Hemi in it!

I love animals, mostly snakes. They are unique compared to other animals. I have a few now and will be getting a few more when the weather gets warm here.

Last but not least my family. I have three wonderful kids who fear almost nothing and love everyone they meet. They love almost everything I love. I am planning on getting them a horse soon. I have the best wife a guy could have. She is small, quiet, conservative, sweet and caring, that is a huge contrast to my self. The only mistake she ever made was getting married to the biggest, loudest, meanest S*B around. She supports everything I do with out question. I know a family isn't really a hobby, but I don't enjoy anything in life unless I am sharing it with them. We don't even make trips to Walmart unless the whole family goes.

I'm not even gonna say it.....ok, snakes. Boas and pyhtons mosty.


Eddie Z I feel your pain, I too am addicted to poker. I am part of the "boom" myself and if it weren't for dedicated players like us there would only be a "boom", I think it's here to stay as long as we are and there will always be weak players that don't want to study the game and quit being replaced w/ more dead $. Poker is a way of life and it reflects life so much it's scary. pOKER POKER, pOKER....I could go on and on but this isn't the forum for this try pocketfives.com it's the shiznit!

Cigarettes....ahhhh smoke

Music to some extent my cd player and cds got jacked and my daughter really can't listen to my $@#% as it's so commonly referred.

alcohol....I don't taste it I guzzle it

The internet. I have gone w/out it for months but as soon as it's on I am sitting here all the time. I don't even play video games anymore because of hold em and the i-net. It serves the purpose of feeding two addictions at the same time it's like scratching my back and massaging it too.

Sleeping I can never get enough of it....way underated

Talking...I do it a lot I even talk to myself. I know i KNOW (See what I mean)

Well I gotta go watch the WPT in aruba w/ Mike matasow for the 12th time.

*addictions aren't so bad-if we had none we would have no reason to live:)
