My likes

I decided I wanted to tell more about my likes, so I put it in this blog.

First of all, technology.

I have liked technology almost all my life, whether it was watching my dad take apart a piece of a equipment when I was 3, to disassembling an old m20 laptop or broken (electronic) piece of kitchen equipment right now. But what I mostly love is computers, whether it's crashing the whole system (accidentally) by trying to patch it, to installing windows 8 (successfully), or upgrading it (which, in laptops, involves popping up the hinge cover and removing the keyboard without breaking anything to put a new wifi card in, also successful), or installing a blue screen app on my sister's laptop:-). But I do like other technology other than computers like putting a blu-ray player in a hotel that were staying in (I know that one of you reading this knows the story behind that) or fixing a TV in the house that won't turn on (actually an unplugged wire:).

Second of all, cars.

I have also loved cars all my life, in fact when I grow up I want to make my own car company for a living (and hopefully have my own electronics company when I grow up too). I always played with matchbox cars when I was only a baby. Once when I was 3 my mom and dad came in to my room at night to check on me, and they heard me sleeptalking "Cars, cars, more cars:)." I also look up cars on the web or "build" my own car online. My dad had a 2010 Acura TL tech that was my favorite car I have ever ridden in, but if I could have any car I wanted it would be a fully loaded Audi S6 (with the direct injected 4.0 liter turbocharged DOHC V8 engine).

And being active.

I like being active also, despite all my liking cars, computers, tech, etc. That includes running (running is probably my favorite because as long as I have my polyester clothes which I wear all the time and tennis shoes I can do it anywhere. Running is needed the most for tag, freeze tag, sardines, hide and go seek, etc.) I also like biking, (I bike to all my friends houses in the neighborhood), gymnastics, and swimming (I started swim team a couple months ago). I also like racing (cars on the iPhone and in real life- running, swimming, biking, and hopefully in years to come, cars). I have done a triathlon with some friends (I placed mid pack in it.) I'm going to do another triathlon in the summer and I'm training to do a 5K (which one of my friends motivated me to do) soon. Unlike other boys, though, I don't really like football, baseball and I don't know how to really play any of those or like watching them either. Soccer and basketball aren't really my favorites but I know how to play both of them and I am more likely to watch those although I don't really watch those either.

Movies

Movies that I like are Lost In Space (sci-fi movie in the 1960's, one of my favorites), the Incredibles (my favorite cartoon excellent movie.  For those of you who don't know there's an Incredibles 2 coming out in the spring), almost anything sci-fi (really like those types of movies), I've never gotten to watch Star Wars. I'm allowed to watch it but I can't since my little siblings aren't allowed to and there's never time to watch it without them around, but whenever I am allowed to I'll bet I will really like it. (I've read comics and books of Star Wars).

Music

Music I like is Toad the Wet Sprocket (older, from the 80's, and 90's), and Toby Mac (modern, we have the newest album Eye on It, my favorite song from Eye on it is Eye on It or Macdaddy)

Magazines

Car and Driver (my favorite magazine, about cars), Consumer Reports (ratings of almost any category you can think of, I have an online subscription too), and Popular Mechanics (about the latest tech and newest science breakthroughs are my very favorites.

Books

Redwall, a fantasy book about animals, has a battle in every single book, but my sister likes them too.
I also like any book written by Roald Dahl (older, fun fiction stories), and the Cooper Kids Adventure Series (Christian, sci-fi. Really love sci-fi.)

I hope you like my post.

First post

Hello I'm Nathan. This is my first blog post. I'm homeschooled so this morning I did school.  A few minutes earlier my mom created my blog (here's a link to her blog http://www.bainsteradventure.blogspot.com/).

In case you are wondering about the nabear title that is my nickname. This afternoon I'm going to gymnastics I do a Trampoline & Tumbling class which consists of - you guessed it Trampoline & Tumbling. It's a fun class, although I always wake up next morning feeling sore all over (hey that's a good thing right?). I'm training for a 5K (one of my friends at co-op motivated me to do it). I guess that's all for now.
