...while technically I can "live" without almost everything as long as I am granted the basics to maintain physical processes ( IE: air, food, water etc.) I do have three things that make existance in this world at least tolerable and I would find continuing to live in there absence damn near impossible...

The first is the love of my fiance Anne, her support and tenderness have shown me three years that put the other 19 of my life to shame...

The second is words, in any form, if there is anything to rival my passion for my girl it is the love I have for language...

And the last is music...I can not go a single day without listening to at least one CD and I think the world would be a much more dark and dreary place without this form of art...next to language, music is the source of my spirituality...
