Music:
Music is a large main passion of mine. I grew up listening to 50's oldies and Big Band from my pops then classic rock from my siblings. Raising Hell and 36 Chambers made me re-think Hip-Hop, and the grunge years were a golden time for me. A lot like myself my music taste is all over the map, however I do take it seriously. I've been leaning towards the alt-country as of late, but if it's good I'm listening to it. I'm not too cool for anything, and I think that may be my best quality.
