My Favorite Hobby

As I posted previously, my four favorite hobbies are listening to Electronic Dance Music, attending EDM events and festivals, playing video games and going out with my friends. Out of those four things, my favorite is probably listening to Electronic Dance Music.

Electronic Dance Music has a lot of different sub-genres, for a lot of different times and moods. I usually listen to the more energetic kind of EDM, like Dada Life or Wolfgang Gartner, when I'm working out or riding my bike somewhere. On the other hand, I like more "mellow" stuff like artists Kaskade or Above & Beyond when I am about to go to sleep or when I just want to relax.

This is my favorite hobby because I can mostly listen to music anywhere and anytime. I can listen to music even when I'm at school (in some classes) and on my way to school and back from school. When I had an Xbox 360, one feature I really liked (and miss) is the ability to listen to music while I was playing any game. I just connected my iPod and I was ready to go. So, as you can see listening to music is my favorite hobby.

About Me

Hi! My name is George Martinez. I am a resident of Costa Mesa, California. I am currently 18 years old and I also attend Back Bay High School which I am a senior. My favorite things to do in my past time are listening to Electronic Dance Music (EDM), attending EDM events and festivals, going out with my friends, and playing video games. My favorite "sport" is probably weight-lifting. I was never really into other sports too much. I joined the school football team at my old school, Estancia, but I quickly got over it. I just like pumping raw iron!

I went to a massive festival in 2010; over 200,000 people attended! I was 14 then, and I really didn't know what it was. The festival I attended was the Electric Daisy Carnival also known as EDC. I found out there that I really liked the music and the whole community there was amazing! That is how I discovered EDM and got into it.

I started gaming as a little kid, I'd say around 5 or 6. My mother and father bought me a Nintendo 64 for christmas. I started out playing Mario Kart and games like that, but as I got older I started playing games such as Need For Speed. I got a PlayStation One and was playing some star wars games here and there, but I really started playing when I got my PlayStation 2.

I started weight lifting when I was in middle school because there was a "Fitness Center" in the school. I was really enjoying it, until it got shut down. Then in high school, there was a "Weight Training" class, which was pretty much weight-lifting. I got into and was really enjoying it but then I got transferred out. I currently attend a "free" gym. It's not technically free, but it is a fitness center for the apartments my friend lives in.
