I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be

About Me

I'm not a social person. The people, bands, and musicians on my list are either people I know, knew, have known at some point in my life, or bands I like. If I don't know you - I won't add you, so please don't try. If I supposedly know you- send me a message and prove it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Uhm, well, noone really. If I know you or knew you in a past life feel free to add me, otherwise don't waste your time. My life is sufficiently busy with the friends I currently have :)

Music:

I I have a crush on Raul Malo and always will (his voice is awesome and the Mavericks are one of the handful of country acts I actually like)
Eva has a beautiful voice....
Anything opera but I'm prone to Verdi and Puccini among others of course, I L-O-V-E classical and was raised on it (thanks dad!) so it's all good, Jimi Hendrix, Amos Lee, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel (no excuses), Beatles, Stones, and you introduce me to more here
Wanna see more? Check out my friends list. I'm such a loser that almost all of them are bands or musicians anyway.The short version: If it's not pre-packaged pop-drivel with the sole intention of making money and is put out by real artists who write their own songs and/or have some iota of talent - I'll listen to it.

Movies:

Office Space, South Park:Bigger..., Sling Blade, Donnie Darko,Citizen Kane, To Kill a Mockingbird

Television:

I'm not so big on tv anymore. If it isn't The Office, My Name is Earl, or South Park I can leave it. Thanks to iPod I'm seriously considering going television-less. Who needs TV when there is iTV?

Books:

I listen to classics on CD, does that count? Also, anything about economics, finance, and anything else on the GRE reading list....

Heroes:

I don't believe in hero worship, but I like Oprah. No seriously, hear me out. She's a single (non-married) childless woman who is proof a woman can be heard and respected and not defined as only a wife and/or mother. I may not agree with everything she says or does or believes, but I respect her business sense and ability to break the mold. There- i said it.

It feels good.

This is cross posted because I'm lazy. This wasn't all me and it couldn't have been done without the tons of other volunteers and helpless animal rescue folks who devote their time and energy to this ...
