Music (put very plainly), I've played guitar for a few years, and I just recently bought an oboe. I used to play oboe in high school and had a burning desire to pick it back up again. In music I strive for originality, I like to have appreciation for what the past has left for us, to look forward to what surprises the future may bring, and to keep my heart in the present.A cold bottle of guiness puts a smile on my face too :)What kind of music do I like? Im currently listening to a lot of underground extreme metal.I'm a pretty eclectic guy, I try to ignore genre in my head when listening at a band for the first time, and instead just allow the music to run its course and react to it truthfully.
