Music primarally. I play guitar, acoustic and electric. In a band. Love the fact that our generation has music to bop to. I hope the candle burns longer than doomed flames before. We have to keep it hid. Oh yeah, and I find eccentric people interesting, and midgets... and art.The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!
I'd like to meet:
The ghosts of Greenwich Village and their dogs. The buffalo soldier's of this world. The chemist, the artist, the recluse. The monks in saffron and their rockeries. A talking horse. A reaction. You. The freaks and the frightened.
