Music:

I like a lot of different types of music... Depends on what mood I'm in. Mostly:"His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar","Half Life 2 Original Soundtrack","Delerium","Atman","Dead Can Dance","The Adorable Bjork","Joe Satriani", "Yngwie Malmsteen","Ry Cooder", "Ali Fakra Toure", "Vivaldi", "Guiseppe Verdi", and "Strauss"... for a completely different style... I like "Frank Sinatra", he just makes me feel relaxed. Top five lists are silly...but here you go: Number one is "Frank Sinatra" of course. Number two is "2Pac Makaveli the Don Killuminati " because of his political incompleteness and I like to jam along with "Out On Bail." Sharing number two is famous as well.Who doesn't want to break out with "Tool's" tracks, when the awkward silence takes a-hold. Number three is all of the Pink Floyd records; my friend Ross introduced me to them when we were in 9th grade and the teenage angst made me see the world for what it really is, especially listening to it with my adorable girlfriends. Number four and number five will be filled one day but there are too many I suppose... Rush, LIST VERY LONG...TO BE CONTINUED...
