Producing/Listening/Hating/Loving/eating/breathing music, working out, cooking, debating on any subject you want to toss at me, researching silly little bits of information until I'm an expert on the subject, The cha-cha, reading, hiking, biking, puzzles, driving, fishing, camping, and enjoying a life that I have no choice but to enjoy....
Don't be afraid to use the word 'Fuck.' Don't give in to others. Don't be afraid to give in to others if they're right. Don't tune out, turn off, or tilt your head down. Don't settle. Don't be oblivious. Don't wear that ugly outfit in public. Don't be afraid to wear that ugly outfit in public just to prove to me that you won't give in. Don't be coy. Don't hold back. Don't forget to shower. Don't stop being a dork. Don't pull a punch or recall an email. Don't forget to be sexy. Don't forget to leave your hubris at the door. Don't be complacent. Don't resist the impulse to write me. Don't listen to others, but don't forget to understand them. Don't disregard the consequences. Don't forget the past, but don't forget to forgive it. Don't listen to Simon and Garfunkel. Don't read the tabloids. Don't put them on a pedestal. Don't forget to eat your vegetables, but don't forget to eat your meat. Don't stop thinking about tommorrow. Don't let me get away with bad song lyrics. Don't be afraid of no ghosts. Don't distrust science. Don't stop the wonder. Don't stop the discussion. Don't stop the debate.

Law and Order and its many incarnations are god. HBO pretty much hooks me with every new show (I adore Rome, and the new season of Deadwood is fantastic) Arrested development is one of the bravest and brilliant shows ever to exist. I get my frat boy humor from Family guy and I love it. lost has made me its bitch. Penn and Teller's "bullshit" should be on everyone's watch list. Grey's anatomy is a guilty pleasure. The office is imaculate. It's amazing that I have time for all the other things that I do....
