music, photography, writing, music, Alison, liquor, beer, wine, music, listening to cds, tapes, records, live bands, dead bands, but NOT 'the dead', music, reading short stories, novels, comic books, geeky science fiction, liner notes, recipts, the backs of shampoo bottles and cereal boxes, people's blogs if they can even sort of write, music, adding more VHSs and DVDs to my small collection, watching said movies with Alison, stealing music off the internet, playing the drums in more bands than I should, losing game after game of Scrabble to Alison unless I spell 'spenders' for 117 points, other board games besides scrabble, computer games, video games, music, going to bars that have live bands that are not crappy, practicing the fine art of making mix tapes and mix cds, using my imagination, dressing selfishly, music, music, music.
I'd like to meet:
Well, if I could eat dinner with any three famous or imfamous people, dead or alive. I would choose alive.
