Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy listening to Classic rock, jazz/Latin tunes, classical music, Bossa nova, pop music and music from around the world in any language, specifically speaking folk music. The kind of movies I enjoy are comedies, Sci-Fi, and romantic movies. I also enjoy reading poetry, the news, and current events.
