Heh, well she is pretty great, and she keeps me going all night. But seriously, when it comes to music and all that increases my enthusiasm, I guess it's just the natural idea of always trying to outdue myself...not to the standards of others (or what they consider acceptable) but simply what helps me on my neverending path to self discovery. Music is inside our hearts, and sometimes we create different preferences for all of the wrong reasons, but as musicians if we could just learn to trust ourselves more often, then we can simply broaden our horizans like never before...

I have a tremendous will to always find smething new that interests me, whether it's a few local bands down here in South Florida, or just a few key elements here and there in songs that I never heard until now. There's always something that pushes us to the next level as musicians, and it's basically up to us to find out whatever that is. Music is not one big competition, and it should never be thought of that way. It's a gift, and a wondeful way for us to express ourselves. Once we learn the rules, we should know enough to breeak them in anyway poassible, which is the very essence of creativity.
