Writing Music, Figure drawing, helping others smile and enjoying what little time we have here, intelligent conversations, watching the sunset, missing the stars(too many artificial lights here)! Cozy dinners, sushi or pasta, spending quality time with family and friends and keeping an open mind and eye so that I never miss a thing!

My Brother, my Mom, and especially my Dad...I wouldn't be who I am now without them...I lost my dad in 2004 to a rare cancer...one which took his leg but not his spirit...he learned to go up and down flights of stairs without anyones help and never complained when he was in pain...he continued to love nature and saw more sunrises and sunsets than I will ever see in my lifetime...and as I saw him die in my my moms arms...I realized how important it is to really see...the world has become filled with superficialities and apathy...it is too easy to be distracted with things that don't matter...I thank both my parents for opening my eyes to a beautiful world...and the love...
