My French bulldog, Norman, and my black pug, Stella. Tommy, local music, politics, digital video, photography, Internet, MySpace and Facebook, TV, movies, floating in the pool, drums, tattoos, and modern interior design.

But, for real, I'd like to meet Barack Obama and my favorite Senator, Russ Feingold
