Interests
I love music: finding great music (in stores, from friends, from allmusic.com, from mags, from all sources possible), listening to music, playing as an artist. I love animals. Cultures. Travel. Having nowhere special to be while driving my car and tunes goin' whack is a simple pleasure for me. Having a cold beer is another simple pleasure. Women fascinate me. Good books, good movies. Rollercoasters. Takeoff (as in runways). College football. Lighthouses. Open fields. Home. Trees.
