Music is my main passion in life. That's why I'm majoring in it. I also love movies. I own tons of DVDs and one of my favorite past-times is watching movies with director commentaries. Most people find those boring, but I find them fascinating. And I am now an amateur practitioner in the art of illusion.
A famous composer. John Williams is cool.(He writes ton's of movie soundtracks.) I also would love to meet Stephen Schwartz. He wrote music for tons of musicals and whatnot. Some of his more famous projects were the music of Godspell, Pippin, The Prince of Egypt, and most recently Wicked. I just love his music and if I could write music like him, I'd take it on as a full time career.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

I love music. I listen to whatever I feel like listening to. Some days it's heavy metal, and other days it's broadway. Opera, Some Country, Rock (real Rock that is), and just about anything in between. I do have some exceptions. No Emo, No Greenday, and No Hardcore. The popular music in the U.S. has been going downhill since the 70's.

I like most Superhero movies. Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, and so on. I love Mel Brooks films. Musical films such as Little Shop of Horrors and Prince of Egypt. The Game starring Michael Douglas is one of very few films that has ever surprised me with its ending. Of course I love Epics like Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. I like other movies too, but I don't care to list them all.
American Idol! I have to watch it, I'm a vocal major. I always hate when the contestants come out with an album of contemporary pop, but I love seeing them do good old fashion music on the show.

Lewis: Chronicles of Narnia (in order of publication. Not in the crappy order they sell it in now.) Space Trilogy Screwtape Letters Mere ChristianityI also like Tolkien, Crichton, Clancy, and a whole lot more. I love a good novel.
My hero would have to be the apostle Paul. He gave up everything in order to do the will of God. In his younger years he was a major Jewish leader and was very wealthy, but when he became a follower of Christ, he had to give that all up. He was imprisoned, he was criticized, he was driven out of cities for preaching, and he was even at one point stoned and left for dead. Paul lived by these words he wrote: "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." Philippians 3:7
