what else do you do besides playing chess?

Besides chess I do martial arts, mainly Brazilian Jiu Jutsu and Boxing, as well as play soccer.

My Scholastic interests are math and science.

in order of priority, family, work, 1953 F100, sport, watching and playing and when I can fit in a few games of chess.

 i eats some kicking cinnamon rolls...

weightlifting, kickboxing(presently trying to get back into the habit)and play billiards far too much. 

Cycling & drinking martinis make you look like you're riding a Trikke

NEOPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an adorable pet bruce.

My username on neopets is Jeffreak2009

Wishlist for neopets: icy bruce boomerang of doom

(I also want a boochi to zap my pet and turn it into a baby or a baby paintbrush.)

Patently untrue, but fun cookies, so I'll let you off.

Well, beside chess I do Gambling and ********* (censored)

Besides chess and work, I spend time with my special someone. I collect and read books, surf the net, watch tv and movies, eat in different restaurants and go to malls.

Drinking a lot of coffee is a must for me.

Video games eat up most of my free time.  I'm getting totally sick of the working routine, this 9-5 crap is driving me insane.  It's like groundhog day. 

I currently have this urge to start collecting Zippo lighters, I'm trying to fend it off.  Something which disgusts me is that I cannot find one Zippo with anything Chess related on it, not one. 

I like practicing Nunchaku techniques, I'm pretty good with 1 pair and I'm branching out into using 2 simultaneously.  I always considered that showing off in the past. I'm struggling to find the time to do it these days though.

I've seen more than one Zippo with a 'Knight' emblem on it - dunno where you get 'em though

Yeah, they're getting pretty tired of it.  I am too, to be honest.  It might be about time to do Act IV in about thirty minutes.

You're getting tired of Romeo and Juliet?  Or just tired of teaching it to dimwits? Oh, the reasons I could never be a teacher. 

My free time away from chess is spent playing with trains.

I'm in a period of transition. I'm weaning myself off guitar and getting into woodcarving. I've stopped collecting swords, old locks, and stones of all kinds (too much clutter around the house). I still collect rifles (at least they're useful clutter). I hike and I'm getting back into backpacking after being away from it for far too long. I still occasionally play Red Orchestra.

Afafbouardi, the kids are fine.  I mean sure, I'd like to strangle one until the vessels in his eyes pop every now and then, but for the most part they're pretty good kids.  It's Shakespeare that has me beat.  I never got tired of talking about the same story six times until we started Romeo and Juliet.  Shakespeare = most overrated writer in the English language, behind maybe Pynchon (who is clearly a genius but that doesn't mean I want to spend my time reading his made up postal conspiracies).

Swing dancing, DJing, inline-skating, going to stand-up comedy shows with an eye toward eventually performing it, performance art.

i have no idea how you'd be as a teacher but yes people get tired of r and j.  i love it.  i really think it's one of will s's best BUT it can get tiring in an academic setting.  who said dimwits? 

i wholeheartedly disagree about william shakespeare.  i think he is exactly as awesome as they say he is.

 You have my sincere condolences. I taught English for 12 years in Harlem, for two years in an Israeli high school, for another 2 years in a technical vocational school and for 15 years in colleges and universities. I now tutor privately, but only those whom I wish to teach.

Other than that, I love to read, smoke pipes and cigars, listen to jazz and classical music and spend lots of time gardening.
