Fun Stuff

If you were an animal what would you be? Dolphin of course! What other animal can do back flips in the water all day? What's the greatest invention in the last 50 years? The Ipod/MP3 player for sure! Being a big music guy and having over 16GB of music in one place for your listening pleasure is amazing. What is your favorite place on earth? Pipes Café after a morning surf session with good people, great breakfast, and better coffee. What makes you laugh? Watching students try to pull off crazy things (of course with adult supervision) like, seeing how many Cheetos they can put in, on, or over their faces or putting their heads in 5 gallon ice cream jugs still full of ice cream. If you could have any super-power what would it be? Teleportation for sure, other than the fact that nightcrawler is amazing and the opening scene to X-men II is amazing, I think it would be cool to just think of any place in the world and instantly be there.
