More than anything, I love music and art. Music and art are the only two things that get me through my life... I've always been a sucker for visual and audio stimulation. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
Aside from those two things, I really do enjoy different kinds of beer and I attend a lot of beer tastings etc. It's very much a hoby of mine. I don't do so much party drinking anymore, but I love a good time and a great conversation with great food and drink. I refquent Fell's Point in Baltimore, MD at least once every weekend for this very purpose.
If you don't drink and don't smoke, move along. You do not qualify.
"Who I'd like to meet" is a funny section.
It should be: "Who I'd Like to M-E-A-T."
Honestly, at this point in my life, I'd like to meet someone with just a SMIDGEON more honesty and integrity than the average bear. A good head on your shoulders doesn't hurt, either. This goes for friends and lovers. If the above doesn't apply to you, then you do not qualify. Move along.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
Wow. Music is SUCH a hard topic for me to cover... not because I don't know anything about it, but because my musical interest run the gamut from blues and jazz to foreign pop. Yeah, it's that diverse, that confusing and that bad.
Update: I lied about not wanting to go on tour. Who needs help on tour???
Personally, I'm a vocalist and I've worked with multiple groups in my local area. I try to keep my work on the DL, though. I'm not looking to tour or anything like that, but I still enjoy the recording process and even performing live a few shows a year.
I try to balance the actual bands I listen to between modern pop and local groups. Along with the Blues and Jazz everyone already knows I adore, I can also be found listening to ALMOST anything else on any given day.
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA - best movie ever, seriously.
ASIDE from that movie, I LOVE horror films. J'adore them. In a big way. If you EVER want to get me curled up on a couch, this is the best way to do it. I'll watch any of them - everything from the classics like "Dracula" all the way to the newest movies...Saw, perhaps? Hell, I'll even brave a movie theatre (if I have to) to go see a horror flick!
TASTY DEATH!
TV is a tedious task for me.
I really don't like to watch TV if I can avoid it... Maybe I'll catch something on the 'visions at the bar once in a while, but that's about it. If I do curl up with my cat infront of the tube, I usually just put in a DVD or watch an HBO movie.
It took me a VERY long time to admit this, but I have a difficult time with reading. I'm dyslexic, so large novels are something of a daunting task. When I was younger, I could read just about anything and get through it alright - as I've gotten older, it's gotten harder to do. The letters, eventually, will start flip-flopping on me and I get frustrated.... BUT...
I do still make a solid attempt at picking up a good book. The last book I read was called "The Diary of Josephine", which is a speculative novel based on the life of Josephine, Napoleon's wife. It was very good, but a bit scandalous.
Well, I suppose this all depends on how you would define the term "heroe". It would be very PC of me to sit here and say that the soldiers in Iraq and the fire fighters in California are my heroes, but that wouldn't be entirely true. Same goes for my mother, which would be a total lie.
Honestly, I don't have heroes. It's not very fair to idealize people in that fashion. It puts too much stress on them, and you're bound to get dissapointed.
I do, however, admire people who aren't afraid to be generous, compasionate and honest. People who maintain a solid strength of character without turning into soap-box-riding preachers are pretty chill, too. More-so than ANYTHING, I admire people who do not judge and place stipulations on other people...
Anyone who says "I don't like you because you smoke." or "I don't like you because of your hair color." can shove it. I accept people for exactly who they are - I may not like them, but I don't expect them to change because of it. Respect is so important, and no one really seems to understand what that means anymore... Integrity, too.
