Aside from writing, my passion is music and art. I can't imagine being without either. I find inspiration in the oddities of life. I have an incredible sense of humour. I try not to dwell on all that's wrong with the world--I try to find happiness, which is a state of being and usually one that only lasts for a moment--I cherish those "moments."
I love music, can't live without it. What kind? All kinds.
