A great meal, a deep film, a good cartoon, and a walk around the block. Oh yeah - stiff drinks, video games with close pals, and talkin' about comics.
Not everyone is fine, but everyone deserves a shot.
Neo-soul moves me these days (Anthony Hamilton, Van Hunt, and Jamiroquai). But R&B has suddenly caught my ear. Despite myself I like Justin Timberlake and that damn good Beyonce song 'Irreplaceable' (thanks Cathy!). And to think I used to only listen to white people music like Styx, U2, Duran Duran, Led Zepelin, and The Cure. One other thing - I'm likely to play hardcore rap and hip-hop if the traffic is bad. What? What?
