these are people who have truly left an impression on me. i had noticed a pattern emerging, and had to give it the attention it needed: artists inspire me to create; musicians inspire me to stay focused and motivated; writers inspire the opening of that little closet in my head filled with spooky spiders and cobwebs, colored jellybeans and yo-yos. on this page, you will see a list of people (and a couple of organizations) who for some reason or another i am or have been obsessed with what they have contributed to our universe. to you i say, thank you. (please note that this list is still in the works, so check back often and see who else has made my hit list)
