Rich's Interests
General
Music in any form or capacity whatsoever, my saxophone, teaching, kitesurfing, reading, hitting the gym, friends and family, anything new and exciting!
Music
um...I think I'm gonna have a seizure! but if I had to...jazz and classical music mostly, pop music I'm really picky about except for 80's! Also like electronic. (I've got refined tastes in music) Something that invites the listener in to listen closely is sure to be seen in my vast collection. Good music is never so easily categorized or pidgeon-holed.
Movies
Shawshank Redemption, Office Space, Indiana Jones, Matrix series, DUNE, Legend, Labyrinth, Alien, Braveheart, Beetlejuice, One Crazy Summer, Say Anything, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Monty Python, Hot Shots part deux, Forrest Gump, Bladerunner, Time Bandits, Tron, AVP, any good horror flick or Jim Carrey movie that can make me laugh.
Television
Comedy Central rocks! Discovery channel rocks too; I like nature shows and shows where you learn stuff. Not into reality shows, they don't exactly depict "real life" for me. I really just wanna laugh...or relax...
Books
Dune series or any other Frank Herbert novel, White Fang or anything else by Jack London, Where the Red Fern Grows, Wolverine Comics, classic literature you'd expect to read in a literature class or the book I'm currently reading: Writings on Music by Steve Reich (my favorite composer).

Hey! I got my first placement assignment. I start the first week of Feb. Going to be going to St. Anne's Special School. It should be interesting. Too bad I have to play guitar for it! We'll see how it goes.
Ok so here is the dirt on whats been happening, my best friend Pete has been getting all these girls all of a sudden after he has not had a girl in the past 2 years. I asked him if he is drugging them or something so he told me his little secret. He has been taking these enlargement tabs they made his little magic stick grow almost double the size it was in about 2 months and he says it is still getting larger. I know it is cause I hear it from the girls all the time now.%D%A %D%AI still thought he was messing around so I sneeked around a little bit in his room and sure enough I found nine bottles of the these pills under his bed and to top that off, his both brothers are now taking them too, Its like the whole family is all popular with all the girls at school now, I don't know, but I am thinking now of buying them for Kelly, I know it sounds rough but after seeing how real this stuff is, it is hard to ignore something that works on any guy like it is guarenteed too or your loots back.Get them now before they are banned
Hey Mr. Convertible. As I was driving home from work today, I saw a convertible pulled off on the side of the road with it's top down stuck in the thunderstorm and thought of you. ;)
Alright. You're right. Not all of Steve Reich is bad. This is a LOT better than "It's gonna rain! It's gonna rain! It's gonna rain! It's gonna rain!" Though, I'm not sure I get exactly how this is spliced music. I thought all of his music was spliced.
You'll have to let me listen to the piece for 18. It sounds kinda cool, as long as it's not like Ives.
Hey there brother o mine....what are you up to tomorrow (fri jan 26)? that band SHAT is playing at the county line again! you got away last time, but not tomorrow!
