I appreciate all genres of music. Although lately, I’ve been really into rock/pop-rock and less hip-hop/rap. One of my favorites things is hearing a song on the radio that I haven’t heard in ages that takes me back to certain point in my life. Even when the memory is not so sweet, it still makes me smile because then I’m able to appreciate and acknowledge how far I’ve come.

I used to spend all my money on techie things like an ipod or the latest phone. But now…I’ve realized that I’m never going to have the latest of the latest in technology because it’s constantly changing. So I’d rather spend my money on going to concerts.
