1. I love God! He has done so much for me in my life. I had a wonderful youth group for my middle and high school days that I would never give up for the world. Also, the Razorbacks for Christ group here on campus is amazing and I don't know how I could get through school without them and I've only be apart of the group for a little over 4 weeks! And when I talk about my Christianity I have to mention my church camp. Every year for the past 10 years I have gone to Burnt Cabin Christian Camp for one week every summer. I know that if someone offered me a million dollars to not go to camp, even just for one year, I would turn them down in a heartbeat. BCCC is where I first and always feel God, where I gave my first devo, where I got baptized, where I baptized two amazing kids, and where I have cried the most. My dad puts it best when he says, "It's the closest thing to heaven on earth."
2. I like to play games. And not just video games, but games of all kind. Card games are the best. The Game, 13, speed, get in get out, and poop on your neighbor are some of my favorites. I also play many board games, such as Apples to Apples, Risk, Life, and Settlers of Catan (the best board game ever!). However, video games are something that have been apart of my life for quite a long time. Ever since the old NES days, I've been a gamer. Some of my favorite games (in no particular order) are Super Smash Brothers, Donkey Kong Country, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead 1&2, Twisted Metal 3, and the Halo series. Also, my gamerscore is almost at 30K!
3. I enjoy playing sports and doing stuff outside. Basketball, tennis, and ultimate are my favorites, but I will play mostly any sport. Baseball, however, is something I usually refuse to play. I love to watch it, but I can barely hit the ball when I throw it up in the air, let alone hit it whenever someone else does. As for outside activities, I like to run sometimes, hike, and raft. I haven't rafted or hiked that much, but I would like to do it more. But if there is one thing I love to do outside more than anything else, it's walk in the rain! It feels so good.
4. I like to listen to radio shows and audio dramas. Well actually I only listen to one audio drama, but it is like one of my favorite things in the world. As for radio shows, I listen to gaming podcasts, like 4 player podcast and IGN podcasts, sports radio, like The Herd (Colin is hilarious!), and others that are just talk shows, such as My Brother, My Brother, and Me. The audio drama I listen to is called We're Alive. For those that don't know, a radio drama is pretty much a TV show with no visual. It is currently about to begin season 3, but I have been listening to season 1 and 2 again that I have in box set, so if you want to listen too just ask for my Cd's or go to zombiepodcast.com. Also, it comes out on Mondays so that just makes my Mondays that much grander!
Hurry up season 3!
5. I love to listen. If you need someone to talk to, then I'm your guy. I also like to hear different perspectives on topics. I feel like the more ways that you hear someone explain something, the better you understand it. The best example of this was my first year in the senior cabin at church camp. The last night all of the senior campers are allowed to stay up as long as they want, so me and some of the older campers decided to sit on a stone bench down by the softball field. As I sat there, I listened to all of the things they were talking about and it just gave me such a new view on the world. That time is probably one of my favorite memories from church camp!
And that, my readers, is all. Just a few things that give you a little more understanding of the man named Derek Michael Daniels. I hope you enjoyed reading this and remember to always keep smiling! :).
