And of course:

I'd like to meet:

I couldn't say I want to meet anyone specific. Everyone has something special about them that makes them unique. I love to examen peoples personality's, thinking process, and beliefs. I try to notice everyones point of view.

Music:

I listen to a lot of classical music and jazz. But as far as rock oriented music goes:

The Decemberists
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Porcupine Tree
Dave Matthews Band Death Cab for Cutie Opeth
Pain Of Salvation
Jeff Buckley

To see what else I listen to:
Last.fm

I believe music has to have a certain level of technicality, emotion, and creativity. It is a musicians job to expand his horizans and to advance in his/her craft. Anything else is just a trendy cliche that is popular today and gone tomorrow. I have felt that our popular music today has been heading back to the stone age.
