What other obsessions do you have?

Cars, digital manipulation, Quake 3, art & design, mixed martial arts competitions, history, and Latin women.

Ahh, it's nice to be back, if only for a moment. Work has been crazy.

One of my passions other than audio is computers. I make my living as a digital retoucher and am grateful I get paid to do what I love. As Marco knows, this is the reason I haven't been in the A'Gon forums for a couple months. I am just plain swamped right now!

Another computer related diversion I enjoy is playing Quake 3 Arena online. It's a first person shooter game and I play against people from all over the US and around the world. It's nice to know that I can frag with the best of those high school and college kids.

I've also been having fun lately with Apple's $49 iLife suite of consumer apps for making movies and DVDs. I've been digitzing and editing a lot of programs I recorded on Tivo.

I love world history, especially pertaining to ancient Greece, the Mongols, Egypt, and the Middle East. I just purchased some neat books about the Mongol invasions of Europe and the Middle East from England.

As a whole, I also enjoy learning about things sometimes foreign or counter to the American perspective. Either in history or modern politics.

Although I've been in the graphic design field for over 20 years, I also love interior space and furniture design.

Maria Grazia Cucinotta. Sophia Loren. Roselyn Sanchez. Need I say more?

Needless to say, my family is the most rewarding obsession to me and everything else takes a back seat to it.

With that out of the way, I always need to be involved with art and design in some form. Whether it is contemplating/sketching ideas for an art piece or drawing views when space planning to add a piece of furniture to the home. One obsession in particular that has come out of this predisposition is my attraction to lighting fixtures, mostly floorstanders. The fixtures of interest to me have been designed by architects dabbling in industrial product development. These styles are certainly not for everyone, but I feel their sculptural qualities are entertaining.

My young family demands most of my time and energy. The art projects and my industrial design interests can wait, while the music plays.

Fine Wine - 100 cases in long term storage.

Cuban Cigars, fine dining, gourmet experiments.

Raising kids - 2 little girls under 3 yr. Takes all the time away from any other obesession for the moment.
