I didn't make videos for a long time because I hated the look of TV sets.

I have been in competitions for commissions. I've won most and lost some. Mostly, I've won.

I prefer music but sometimes if there's on talk radio - someone might be on that I like. I listen to the old - to "Air America," down at the - liberal talk shows and things like that I find kind of nice, their criticizing the conservatives.
