"Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me." -Janis Joplin
Music, sports (Go Steelers!), travel, animals (I love my furry friends!), anything that has to do with the arts, hanging out with my friends, and cooking.
Music:
"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music."
