Music:
Music plays in important part in my life. The first album (yes...vinyl) that I ever bought was KISS Alive II. I bought it at the Record Den at the Great Lakes Mall in Mentor. It was the dead of winter, and by the time I walked to my cousin's house the record warped from the cold.
My taste in music changes with my moods. Some of the artists currently on my iPod Nano: Gladys Knight andthe Pips, Cold, 30 Seconds to Mars, Bjork, Pink Floyd, Annie Lennox, Etta James, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Tori Amos, Indigo Girls, Everclear, Metallica, Daughtry, Our Lady Peace, Radiohead, Chris Isaak, Linkin Park, the Killers, Andrea Bocelli, Grant Lee Buffalo, Iron Maiden, London Symphony Orchestra, Boston, The Sugarcubes, the Andrews Sisters and Gavin DeGraw.

I am currently reading
"Atlas Shrugged"

Heroes:
My heroes are people who fight for human rights, equal rights and peace. Although not everyone is comfortable being personally active, it is important for us to support them.
