These are just a few of the many interests that I have...running, playing guitar, chemistry, physics, theoretical physics, philosophy, psychology, nature, listening to music, Human Rights Campaign, my dog, X-Box, expanding my world, white water rafting, hiking, roller coasters, the St. Louis Cardinals, watching movies, spending time with friends, playing my keyboard.
I just love living life, laughing, and having fun.
I'd like to meet:
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and The Dalai Lama. I am most likely to be friends with people who are intelligent, musical, funny, comfortable with themselves and the world around them, and people who know how to have a conversation, not just sex. Confidence is very appealing to me as well as being able to laugh at life and never take yourself too seriously.Everyone needs down time to be by themselves and reflect on their life. I am no different. I would like to meet anyone who is real, doesn't play games with you...except for just messing with you...and anyone else that believes that we are here to help each other, love each other, and build each other up. My friends are as varied as the music I listen to. Basically it doesn't matter who you are. If you're cool. Then I'll probably like hangin out with you.
Music:
I like most any kind of music. I don't like placing limits on music to listen to. When I listen to music, I am listening to the meaning of the words and the musical background in which it is set. Granted, I also am listening to the beat, bass, groove, tone, and all that jazz but I believe that music is supposed to be about...understanding, learning, growing, and creating peace, joy, sadness, and love. For me music is everything. It touches every aspect of my life. Music is peace and life...it's as plain as that. I love everything from rap, hard rock, acoustic, soul, R&B, jazz, to techno...music defines who we are and how we view life. Music is the essence of life in an ever changing world.

Heroes:
I don't have any heroes except maybe Ghandi. There are many people who I value highly but I don't like putting anyone up on a pedestal. I don't believe anyone should be on a pedestal. We are all here to learn from each other and grow and not to be just like one person.
