There's a lot to see here, but first, a little about me:
I like to go bowling..(sport or skill..?) .. I play a mean pinball..(spaz) ..I love disc golf (hiking with frisbees?)!! I'm more observant than most, I noticed(haha). I listen to music all day, working or not..When I say listen to music, I mean listen to the MUSIC. Not just the words, but also every note, every cymbal crash. I have a critical ear and I can usually explain exactly why I like something or don't.
One day perhaps I can make a living through music, but for now, my first source of income is electronic repairs. I specialize in amusement machines such as pinballs, jukeboxes, and arcade games, but I can repair most anything, really. I work to live, until I can find a job that is more fulfilling that I can love to live for. "No man on his death bed ever looked up into the eyes of his family and friends and said, 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office.'" Well, I never fit the mold anyway, now did I?!
This page has a few different elements. Obviously my love for music is displayed here, but I've also tried to show some of the things I'm passionate about besides music. I love animals and I don't eat them. I will eat fish, but I at least make an effort to choose from sustainable resources. It's disturbing to me the number of species of animals and fish that are extinct simply because we humans consumed them or destroyed their natural habitat. I feel better since I quit eating meat, both physically and spiritually. It's MY choice, I'm not forcing it on anyone.
I DO believe that we all need to start thinking about Mother Earth, our environment and what's going on with it. What really clicked for me was when I put together that meat eating destroys the environment! What?! Yes, it's a fact that cattle produce more greenhouse gasses than cars and trucks! That's a lot of gas! And why do we raise cattle? To CONSUME them, obviously. So raising cattle for their meat/milk destroys the environment, right? Someone please tell me if I'm way off here!! Anyway, draw your own conclusions, or just ignore the whole thing and keep on eating flesh. This is me and my present viewpoint, and you are you, and I'd love to hear yours.
I've also displayed some art that I enjoy. M.C. Escher always struck a chord for me, perhaps it's my technical thinking and his geometric, symmetric and asymmetric stylings. Maybe I'm trying too hard to think about why I like it! I also love Salvador Dali. If you've never been to a Dali museum or exhibit, such as the one in Saint Petersburg, Florida, I highly recommend it! His Surrealist work is sometimes sexual, often hallucinatory, almost always pleasing, to me. Of course, da Vinci and Michaelangelo's works are magniificent! I've just begun to absorb all their accomplishments!

EVERYONE loves dolphins, right? I've seen lots of tats on women of little dolphins. While that is cute, it doesn't really HELP the dolphins that are being used, abused, consumed, etc. The Wild Dolphin Foundation protects dolphins through research, advocacy, and education. Their mission is to change human behavior threatening the well-being of dolphins worldwide. Their MySpace page:
