Oh hi.

Hi, I'm Aqeel. No, not aqueel...bet you can't guess how many times that mistake has been made. Anyway, most of you probably know me already but if you don't, here's the basic rundown.

1. Academically, I'd like to consider myself a straight-A student even though last semester was my first time. I'm not really sure where I'll end up or what I'll be doing, so I try to keep my options open. I'd like to be a doctor, but there are so many other things I enjoy doing.

2. I love music, even though I probably have next to no musical talent. I'll listen to anything, but rap is probably my favorite. It's just so much more exciting than regular poetry. One thing I love is when rap (or any music, really) has a good meaning and not just random lyrics that sound nice. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of Lil Wayne.

3. I don't play any sports, but I'm a big sports fan. I watch basketball and football mostly. My favorite teams are Kentucky, the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots. I really like Boston as a city so I'll support any Boston teams really.

4. I love watching TV and movies. One flaw I have is that everything I watch I end up liking in some way. It's not often that I watch something and think 'Wow, that sucked.' I guess I'm just a bit of an optimist. My favorite TV show is probably How I Met Your Mother. And I've seen too many good movies to be able to even pick out a few favorites.

5. Over the summer I went to Sri Lanka, where my parents are from. It was my first time going ther
e in a few years, so the 100+ degree weather, horrid humidity, bug bites and cold water showers took some getting used to. Despite its less-than-perfect qualities, it's actually a beautiful place. The walks on the beaches seemed like they could bring anyone to complete peace, and the views from the tops of mountains were breathtaking (driving up and down the mountains a few inches from the edge were the most stressful hours of my life, though).

Well that's just about it. Out of lack of confidence in the appropriateness of some other sites and not knowing where that line is drawn, I'll say my favorite site is http://www.facebook.com/ .
