Hobbies

One of the reasons I enjoy fishing is because it gives me a peace of mind, There is something about the calm of water that brings peace in my opinion. I was introduced to fishing as kid by my grandfather who has since passed away, there are times I feel closer to him while fishing.

 

Basketball has always been a good past time for me, although I’m not good at it I enjoy the game at time I use my imagination and picture myself as a pro basketball player with 5 seconds on the clock and the ball is in my hands to make the buzzer beater. Swish and I help the team when the game but in reality, I missed the shot, one can dream.

 

Dirt biking is one of those blowing off steam type of them, since a kid I always have ways like go-karts and all different types of machinery that go. This is another hobby introduced to me by my grandfather. He was a mechanic by trade so every time he gets something new, he was working on in his shop completed we would test drive it.
