My passion is ...

Music, always and forever.

I know too much about ...

Stupid stuff.

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

My favorite memory ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Music is my first love and I usually have a CD or the radio on while I work. I don't watch a lot of T.V. anymore, but I always try to catch "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central. For excellent as well as entertaining news coverage, I always watch "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" on MSNBC. I also enjoy watching Charlie Rose, Bill Moyers, and Jim Lehrer report the news on PBS.

My first job ...

Babysitting.

My best moment ...

Still waiting...

My inspiration ...

The Big "G"=WE=Love
