Insomnia

This was supposed to be a 30 day challenge, but I just got off the phone to my favorite person and now I seem to be more awake than ever!


1: Name two of the most significant people in your life and explain why.
Mom: Although we argue more than George Bush and a group of hippies, she was the person in this world who always taught me to go after what i wanted, and that nothing was too good to be true if I fought hard enough.
Syl: because I'm not who I am now without him. I don't know who i was before him.


2: What is your stance on religon? Would you affiliate yourself with any?
I pray occasionally, but I am unsure of who to. I believe there is more than one greater good. I wouldn't directly affiliate myself with any. I'd be closest to buddhism. 

3: What band / musician is most important to you?  Explain why.
Bon Iver. He explains everything that I never could. And if you are one of the few lucky ones to know his true story, you'd be inspired too.

4: If you could chose a time period to be born at , which one would it be and why?
The 1940's. I could grow up through American bandstand and amazing music of the 50's and hit my peak in the 60's and be an even bigger hippie than I am now.
