"Always do right. That will gratify some of the people, and astonish the rest."
I love astonishing things.
Sometimes I feel like a new born; experiencing the world for the first time.
I am interested in experiencing as much as I can. I love music, fine art, modern art, theater, exotic food, boring food, techy things, films, movies, and a bunch of other things that consume my time.
Truth be told I love meeting people.
Everyone loves music. Here are some musicians I like. It is in alphabetical order, and this list is never finished. If I forgot something..Oh well.
