Good fun happy people. :)
Music:
I don't listen to the radio much. I hate how the same 8 songs just get recycled, and so much on the airwaves is unnecessarily sexual, violent, and/or misogynistic. I don't want to get accustomed to hearing certain things, because then I'll start thinking them, and then I'll start saying them. I just don't think it's worth it. I do listen to Nickel Creek, Guster, Push Stars, Great Big Sea and Weird Al, so it's not like I don't own any cds. I'm also a piano major so I'm fairly well versed in Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern period music.

Heroes:
I don't have a specific hero. But I know what characteristics I think my own sort of hero should have: Compassion for others; humility of self; giving of time and affection; honest and forthright, both with others and himself; charitable; eager to learn; open to the future; wise to the truth of the matter; God-fearing.Only a hero could be all of that.
