My Interests

"I am someone who is constantly soundtracking my life. It goes with the territory of being nostalgic for my life as I'm living it. You can't plan your life's soundtrack. It's just one of those accidental miracles that occurs - you're having a moment, and a perfect song accompanies it, and suddenly your brain is seared with the understanding that this is a time and a place and a song you'll never forget. No matter how long it's been... when that song comes on it's like being in a plutonium fueled DeLorean - you've driven 88 miles an hour back to that exact memory."-J.S.

I'd like to meet:

Bobby Kennedy - If he was alive today, I believe that we might be living in a very different world..."Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation."- Robert F. Kennedy, 1966

That doesn't happen much, though." - J. D. Salinger
