I am here for Friends

About Me

The details of my life are quite inconsequential........ I am a musician who doesn't care about owning an ipod. I am an accountant who has never balanced a checkbook. I was an honor student who took 8 years to get a bachelor's degree. I live 75% of my life either in my little cube at work or asleep under my electric blanket. I am very happily married, have a little house, 2.5 cats, and a dachshund puppy who zips around the house like a bullet. I am in a band that has toured around and allowed me to live out some of my dreams. I have been known to stay up way too late practicing the violin in an endless pursuit to torture my wife and cats. I also have an unhealthy addiction to food, particularly that produced by Chinese-American restaurants.

My Interests

Debussey, Stravinsky, Sarasate, Manilow (hehe), Barber, Tchaikovsky, Riders in the Sky (Dr. Woody Paul - King of the Cowboy Fiddlers), Leahy, Natalie MacMaster, Olivier Messiaen, Arnold Bax, Holst

Frustrated with MySpace

Okay, so i've never been extremely handy with a computer, but I've always been able to get the job done in general.  Why is it that everyone can get their MySpace to work and I can't???  Bla...
