Patrick Sizemore

I approach every day with the mindset that I shall be as productive and benevolent as I can be.

Life's level of difficulty is nothing more than the sum of your bad decisions.

Hobbies:

READING, writing, acting, playing music (trumpet, trombone, euphonium, baritone, tuba, electric bass, string bass, banjo), improving my French, Ebay, travel, working out, running

Favorite Movies:

The Professional, Scarface, LOTR series, Mobster films (Goodfellas, Godfather series, etc.) I'm waiting until marriage to watch any of the Star Wars series.

Favorite TV Shows:

The Sopranos is one of my all-time favorites. Other than it, I prefer adult-oriented animation such as The Simpsons and Family Guy. Many of Cartoon Networks 'Adult Swim' programs kept me up laughing all night during my teens. I also enjoyed The Critic when it was still on television. Aside from animation I enjow shows such as Mythbusters, How It's Made, and other entertaining albeit educational programming. History Channel, TLC, and others are my favorites.

Favorite Music:

Classical (Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky), Jazz (especially Maynard Ferguson material), Victor Wooten, Bela Fleck, Bluegrass (Stanley brothers, Earl Scruggs, IIIrd Tyme Out, many more), Rock (Mostly 1995-2002 material), Classic Rock/Oldies (I know all of the words to many of these, but most of us do, right?)

Favorite Books:

Oh wow...let's see. Harry Potter (Third was my favorite, with the fifth being my least favorite.) I'll just do genres. It'll take too long. History, Mythology, Science, Foreign Language, Business (Specifically entreprenurial material), Fantasy, Science Fiction, Athletics, Technology, Music If a person I respects tells me that a book is good, I read it. Also, if anybody loans or buys me a book I read it regardless of its content.
