I love my guitar

Like a lot of people, I love music! My favorite music is country, and Merle Haggard is my favorite artist. He sings about the hard times in his life and his songs really have meaning too them.
I started playing guitar when I was about 14 and I enjoyed it then but I really wasnt very good. I have never taken lessons but I have had a few people show me a few things here and there, but most of what I have learned has been from the internet, what a great resource.
I love playing my resonator, and it is sitting beside my computer in its stand as I type. I pic it up a few times nearly every day and play for a little while. I have certainly progressed since first days playing and I think I have above average skills.
I enjoy singing too, a karaoke bar is a great place to laugha and have fun. I mostly like to sing and play to myself in my room when no one is around. I will play for freinds and family but not if I am pressured or bragged about to much. I am definately nothing to bragg about so when people do (mostly my mother) it makes me uncomfortable and I think people are expecting more than I have to offer.

I love the water!

Water is big part of my life, from sailing to freediving to drinking it every day.
I became a certified SCUBA diver about two years ago and it has been a great hobby. My dive buddies and I have dove in the Gulf of Mexico many times in about 80 of water. We have seen alot of really neat things that most people never have to opportunity to see in person. One time we saw a live shark! It was swimming around are boat as we were preparing to dive the wreck we were anchored at. One of my friends spotted the shark and I immediately dawned my mask and dove in to get a closer look. It wasnt a large shark, probably 3-4 feet but it was still a shark.
A little over a year ago I bought a 29 sailboat that stays in the water in the Panama City, Florida. During the summer you can find me down there nearly every weekend enjoying the wind and water life. On the boat, SCUBA gear can be awkward so I have taken up freediving.
The freediving I do is pretty much snorkeling, but I train so that I can hold my breathe longer than a normal person underwater. I also have a pair of large fins tat are for freediving and allow you to propel yourself underwater with a lot more power than a pair of smaller "normal" fins.
The water is great and I cant wait until warmer weather comes so I can jump in!
