AL: \u00a0First album that I bought with my own money was Dr. Dre’s \u201cThe Chronic.\u201d \u00a0I bought it with my allowance. But since I was still kind of young when that CD came out I had to hide from my parents for a little bit because of the parental advisory and all.<\/span><\/p>\nEG: Awesome, now what is an album that has an emotional connection to you or to a memory?
\n<\/b>AL: I would probably say, it would be the Santana \u201cAbraxas\u201d and \u201cSantana III.\u201d My dad loved Santana and so do I. If I was going to play Santana,\u00a0either of those two albums would be it. Those were my dad\u2019s favorite albums, the ones that he always played at home or in the car. So I\u2019d say more later Latin Rock. <\/span><\/p>\nEG: Why don\u2019t we move into sports? You said that you\u2019ll be covering KU Tennis, \u00a0and KU Swimming and Diving teams when their seasons start. Did you choose these teams or were you assigned them?
\n<\/b>AL: Actually I did choose them. They gave us a list of the teams and asked for our preferences. \u00a0I put down tennis, swimming, diving, basketball obviously, and softball or baseball…either one would have been good. \u00a0I like the sports and I watch men\u2019s and women’s tennis. I enjoy swimming, like in the olympics. I see it as like a sprint but in the water. I like swimming\u00a0because it is a competition to see who is the most endured person. \u00a0If you ever swim a lot of laps then you know it\u2019s not easy. I played multiple sports, but baseball was the sport that I was best at. I would have been happy with any sport they would have given me because I love sports in general. \u00a0Also, to be able to put some things out there for these athletes that play for KU and get some recognition for them is great. Because we are obviously\u00a0a basketball school and others can get overshadowed by them…it\u2019s such a historic program. <\/span><\/p>\nEG: I think you answered another one of my questions which was what is your favorite sport?\u00a0You love baseball?
\n<\/b>AL: Baseball will always be my number 1. \u00a0But I like basketball as well. Those are the two sports I like the most. I know I\u2019d never be as good as any of the basketball players on the court, and so I\u2019m just astounded by their skill. That\u2019s why I enjoy watching basketball…it\u2019s one of my favorite things to do. I like to watch KU Basketball and the NBA. I like watching football and baseball. But basketball really gets my adrenaline pumping when I watch it. \u00a0If I played a sport it would be baseball and football, but watching a sport would probably go to\u00a0basketball. <\/span><\/p>\nEG: My next questions are less music, less sports and more about you in a sense. \u00a0Also just kind of fun questions. First up, what is your favorite childhood cartoon?
\n<\/b>AL: It\u2019d probably be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because I always wanted to be Michelangelo. He was always the funny one, even in the movies he was the goofy one. Plus, every kid when they\u2019re little wants to be a ninja, you know what I mean? Kicking everybody, running around…and there was four of them so that I could be Michelangelo one day and then Leonardo the next. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nEG: That may also answer my next one as well, Who is your favorite superhero and why?
\n<\/b>AL: If I was going to be a superhero, I\u2019d probably want to be Batman, because it\u2019s Bruce Wayne, the billionaire that fights crime as Batman at night. And he\u2019s got that big Batmobile. I think in some of the movies his suit even reflected bullets. I guess I\u2019ll just be Batman. I like the Batman movies. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adrian Lujano DJ Name: DJ Sweet Lou DJ Shift: Latin Lab (Tuesdays at 11pm), \u00a0Rock Rotation (Mondays at Noon) Major: \u00a0Communications Minor: Business Notable KJHK Contributions: Summer 2015 Beatlovers DJ, Jazz in the Morning Host, Sports Staff Writer covering KU Tennis, Swimming and Diving teams.
