Internet

     The internet is a wide and amazing thing but really don't use much of it. I am a simple man with simple taste. I only use the internet for a few things: sports, movies, shows, and research for school. I am on the internet a lot though because it is better to watch some shows because there are no commercials and I really hate commercials.
     The main websites i use are ESPN, Facebook, Netflix, MTV, and Google. I do spend most of my time on ESPN because i am a very big sports guy and I am always looking at scores, stats, schedules, and whats going on with the teams and players. I follow a lot of teams and confrences but the main ones are the Florida Gators (football,basketball,baseball), Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Buccanears, and Tampa Bay Lightning. Of course There all Florida teams i am a true Florida boy. The website I send the second longets amount of time on is Netflix. It is really great and has a lot of shows that i either wanted to see or havent seen all of. Have a good wide variety of movies to watch. I also spent a lot of time on google to help me find websites that could help me with research I need. I sends me to a lot of good places.
     So that is really all I do on the internet.

TV

T.V is a big part in my life, everyone watches tv. I watch TV everyday and I watch a lot of shows. I have at least one show to watch every night. On Mondays I watch two shows How I Met Your Mother and Hawaii 5-O. HIMYM is one of my favorie shows. I have been watching it since the beginning. I have seen every episode and Hawaii 5-O is a great new show that I really enjoy. I really enjoy the cop type shows. Also the characters are funny and keep me interested. Tuesdays I watch NCIS: LA wich is another cop type show. Wednesday is Survivor and that is a great show to me. I love to see the challenges na dare how these people react to the challenge of being hungry, tired, and dehydrated. Some people can't handle it and go crazy. Also I see Criminal Minds. It is a great  cop show but they are very smart and teach me in the process. You really have to think and listen drying he show or you will be lost. Thursday is Big Bang Theory and Two and Half Men. These and two great comedy's that I have watched since they started. That make me laugh and I really enjoy them. And the funny thing is that all of these shows are on broadcast TV. So I could get all these shows for free and I never knew that I could. Now knowing the difference broadcast and cable that I might not need it. But also I watch shows that are on stations like ShowTine, FX and others. So that is the reason I have cable so I could watch my shows that are more graphic and use foul language

Movies

     I love to watch movies. I watch a movie at least five or six day and i will never stop. I have grown up watching movies and I love them. I feel calm and relaxed when I am watching a movie. To me there is nothing better than just sitting down and watching a movie. There is not a care in the world when I get in my comfort zone watching a good movie.
   
     Like I said I watch movies very often. Me and my parents go on demand about five or six days a week and find a new movie that we have not seen yet and watch it. My family doesn't spend a lot of time together and movies are the best way to get us all together. Everyone has there different preferences about the type of movies they like but my dad, brother, and I all like the same types. Mainly thriller, action, horror, and comedy. My mom like romance so she doesn't always get her way. I enjoy all the action pact and fast speed way that thrillers and action movies give me and the scary mode of the horror film. Sometimes there is nothing better than a nice scare. Also comedy's are probably my favorite. There is nothing better than a good laugh. When ever I feel sad or life just gets to hectic all I need is a nice comedy and good laugh and all of my stresses just melt away.
   
     Some of my favorite actors and actresses are Matt Damon, Bruce Willis, Johnny Depot, Sandra Bullock, Kristen Bell, Melissa McCarthy. I am also related to an actor, Garrett Hedlund. He is well know in the movie Friday Night Lights, where he played a full back named Dom Billingsley. These are some of the best actors and actresses in the movies that I really enjoy. Now some of my favorite directors are Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino. These are the best directors in what type of movie that they do. Tarantino is probably my favorite. I love his violent take he makes on all of his movies. These are my favorite to watch because of all the action in it. He really keep he entertained the entire time i am watching his movies. Now I mainly stay at home and watch movies because they are free but i do go to the movies with my friends. When i see a trailor of a movie that I really like I will go see it. But I do like to save money so if I like it but dont feel like spending money on it i will just wait till it comes on demand.

Reading Habits


     Avoid at all cost. I have never been the one to read. I just don't find it amusing or fun at all. I would rather be outside doing fun activities than be inside and read all day. I also have ADHD and I am dyslexic so it is hard for me to sit down and just read when it is hard because I get most of the words mixed up and I want to just get up and go do something.

     I do read every day but the only things I read are about sports. I go on ESPN and read about my favorite teams and what’s going on about them. Right now I am reading mostly about high school recruits and where they’re going or what their thinking. Pretty much the only other thing I read is my text on my phone. I read sports because it is the only thing that keeps me interested so I can read pretty much everything. I would like to read more but it’s just hard. My parents have tried everything to get me to read. They have bribed me with money, less work around the house, clothes, pretty much everything. They have also taken me to some doctors and they tried getting me to but nothing works. I know reading is important and I would love to know what’s going on in the world but I just can’t do it. I don’t have any favorite authors because I don’t read much. I don’t read for entertainment. All the books I have read in my life have been for school.

     So now you know that I have no reading habits. I wish I could just sit down and read something but I can’t. If you could help me it would be awesome but just know I want to read more just don’t know how.
