Music is where I first discovered passion. The very first time I ever felt I had been deeply touched by something beyond childhood was from music. I get lost in it so easily. For me, it creates emotion and stirs my soul. I can listen for hours, if not days on end, and never grow tired of the sounds. I enjoy everything from the classical composers, Jazz, Blues, and Broadway Musicals, to classic Rock & Roll and the most modern of mixes and recordings. Entertaining the idea of making a list of that which I find appealing to listen to seems as silly as attempting to count the stars in the sky. By the way, have I ever mentioned I have a star named after me? I have a map of the location and everything!
I relish in the journey of watching a movie. I enjoy traveling through the different times, places, and emotions I would not be able to reach so easily on my own in the spur of the moment. I don't feel movies are an escape, but rather a destination. Movies are an emotional adventure through ourselves as well as the physical universe. In just moments, one can travel to the ends of the Earth, the bottom of the ocean, the other side of the of the universe, or into the darkest or brightest parts of one's own own being.I would imagine the list of movies that have touched me in some way is as endless as the imaginations of those who create them in the first place. Here are just a few that have left a lasting impression:The Incredibles, Lord of the Rings, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Star Wars, The Godfather, The Matrix, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Spiderman, Highlander, Clash of the Titans, A River Runs Through It, Tombstone, Practical Magic, Apocalypse Now, Braveheart, American Beauty, Moulin Rouge, Alien, Princess Bride, The Pelican Brief, Titanic, Shawshank Redemption, The Village, Tron, Breakfast Club, The Seventh Sign, Mists of Avalon, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Million Dollar Baby, Pulp Fiction, Starship Troopers
