Ryan,
I picked up PR a few years back ... I've just started to get back into the swing of it. We are what we perceive ourselves to be ... this is why I try consciously to remain 'positive' and 'optimistic' in all matters in life! PR will help to gain knowledge ... this may make for a more comfortable lifesytle (increased salary, more boys toys) but true hapiness comes from within. It is not something that is given to you ... it's something you must work at.
I recently, entered the personal development realm ... in particular, Holosync. It's a great mediation tool that helps to transform an individual so to speak ... or at least it has for me. You can find more informatio at http://www.centerpointe.com They also have a discussion board where all kinds of questions are posed. I'm a frequent member there and a majority of members including myself speak very very highly of LearningStragies ... although it's not difficult to do ... LS is a great organization of people!
As for interests ... I love computers and computers love me (well I hope they do!). I love sports ... especially watching NHL during playoff season! I'm always looking for newer ways to improve myself ... I'm not perfect but dang close to it! 
I love to cook ... one of the reason's my wife married me! I love listening to people, especially elders, I find they are filled with wisdom and experience regarding life! People are like books ... they all have a story to tell and I love to know about it, to gain form it and learn from it!
As for my opinion on PR ... it's a great product! When LearningStrategies developed PR ... I'm sure Paul was shooting for the sky! That he did and did successfully! My goals in life are not to shoot for the sky (that's too limiting!) but to shoot for the stars!!! Now that's a far out experience!
Humbily,
Michael Saikali
