My Interests


Your Brain's Pattern
Your brain is always looking for the connections in life.

You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker.

Music:

All styles, all genres have the amazing, the good, the bad, and the poser. All can be entertaining at one time or another, perhaps not in the way they may have intended.
