Music, Movies, and Books

I believe every music genre is enjoyable when the moment is right. I listen to pretty much everything but Dave Matthews Band remains my number one.

Who doesn't like movies? Movies take us on an exploratory journey where we escape reality for a few hours and often make us think, question and interpret the artists' view or conveyed message. I watch movies on a weekly basis and despite having watched a lot of movies, I still have a huge list of movies to watch.

Analogous to my movies-to-watch list I have a books-to-read list that only keeps getting bigger. I read mostly non fiction books with vastly varying topics from science to politics to philosophy. I think I will never finish that list.
