My iTunes library is pretty diverse, but generally I enjoy alternative,French African music (when I want to tune out completely), contemporary folk, Christian/inspirational, and occasionally country. Some of my favorite artists: The Outfield, Tracy Chapman, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, Jeremy Camp, Lucinda Williams, Nickelback, Staind, Maroon 5, Lifehouse, Seal, Sheryl Crow, Texas...
I love watching movies and especially enjoy artsy and foreign films that give interesting glimpses into other cultures, places and lifestyles. I love the French sense of humor and philosophy of life depicted in French comedy/drama. Some favorite films overall include Il Postino, Life is Beautiful, Amelie, Mostly Martha...
I rarely watch t.v. except for movies. Currently hooked on Gray's Anatomy, and love reruns of Seinfeld, Friends, Will and Grace, and Dharma and Greg.

By far, my biggest hero is my father, who lost both legs in Vietnam and has never let it slow him down.
