Music Music and more music. Especially live music...in intimate atmospheres and venues. Anyone who knows me pretty well, knows that music is a major driving and motivating force in my life. The sad part is that there's so much good stuff out there that this one lifetime is simply not enough to listen to all that great music. The list I have below left is quite short (in my opinion..I could add tons more). The space is there, it's good to use it, specificity is always good.
Wonderful spirited people who are into all kinds of awesome music...play me something I haven't heard.

Heavy-duty channel surfer (not ADD)...love the music stations, good animal documentaries, and the original Twilight Zone series - that Rod Serling was pure genius!
I really don't read all that much...I'm more apt to reading the liner notes of a CD booklet than picking up a book. Not that I have a short attention span, it's not at the very top of my priorities at the moment - although I do admire people who are well-read, and continue to be...
Me, first and foremost. When things go bad I usually have ways of overcoming the worst of situations. My dear mother, for putting up with me all these precious years, her nagging keeps me alive and well. I admire my sister for her worldly courage, for making me laugh, gag, choke...My dad because he knew how to sneak the girlfriends in when my mom was asleep..ha ha! just kidding...my dad taught me to just do the best I can, I admire my good friends Ashley, Chad, Forest, Diane, Annette, Louis, Naushad, Kristine, Michelle, you guys rock. I adore my Veronica for also putting up with me. I admire her writing skills, her brilliant patterns of thought, and her immense knowledge and passion for art. I try and visit her as often as my schedule, patience and budget allow...
