"Jaga Jazzist ~ Oslo Skyline"
I want to meet anyone who is willing to step out of their own confines and attempt something new. People who smile just because. People who get carried away by what they love.

I'm positive TV rots your brain. It's like being dead, with out the benefits of being dead. . . . Though, I really do enjoy Family Guy, but I can only watch the ones that I have own, no cable for me. . .
Kurt Vonegut, Pablo Narueda, Saul Williams, Douglas Adams. Still learning in this department, again open to suggestions. . .
My heros are John Coltrane, and Ron Miles. Trane worked so hard and pushed the envelope so much, and sounds great. One of the best musicians in the last century. Trane's music certainly tranceds all expectations and is moving in a way that no other person can replicate. Ron Miles, as someone said to me "must be enlightened". His music is amazing, compostitions and solos. And after I got a chance to met him, and play with him, I found out he is the nicest, most sincere person you will ever met.
