Interests
I spend my days trying to pick out and experience the very best of what this world has to offer. The very best people, the very best places, and the very best books and movies ... And then I store them all in my mind, collecting bits and pieces that will later be brought together in both book form and judgement and be considered the sum of all my life's work.
So, what that means is simple. I'm going to do everything that I've ever wanted to do. I'm going to see the world, and I'm going to experience everything. Pretty simple, eh?
Music
I listen to a little bit of everything, with the exception of jazz, blues. and gospel (YUCK!). But these artists are the ones whose songs I can put on at any time, no matter the mood, and still enjoy them one hundred percent:
