| Details about me: My name is Teresa, I'm *cough*41*cough*, been married for a very long time now and I have lived in IL all my life. Our son is 19 (eek!) and we have two little monsters. (our cats) Hubby and I have similar musical interests but he was "born country". Before we met I swore I would DIE before I listened to country music. It's funny how love can influence a person's musical taste! I don't listen to it as often now, but I do find myself searching the radio dial for old favorites every once in a while. Hubby has also gone with me to a lot of concerts. Our son's taste in music has really changed over his 19 years on this planet. From the time he was about 4, I noticed he seemed to like the "alternative" one hit wonders just like his Mom! ha ha All his life he has been exposed to a variety of different music styles. Anything from rock, to classic rock, to oldies (50's and 60's), classical, country, Top 40, 80's, R&B/rap, you name it, he's probably heard it. He currently listens to dance, pop, Top 40, and good ol' rock n roll music. And yes, he likes Metallica. S&M is his fave Metallica album. However his fave "rock band" is Shinedown and he's pretty die hard for Lady Gaga. The kid has also been to about 40 concerts in his lifetime. Did I mention he's only 19? :) I'm also happy to say, he's learned the ropes of attending a G.A. show pretty darn well too. I'm so proud. HEHE A while back I asked my own mother why I liked so many different types of music and she told me it was because she played all different kinds of music when I was little. I'm hoping my son will have a well-rounded interest in all types of music too. Our two cats, Wakko and Daisy, were born in March 2001 and we have had them ever since they were 5 weeks old. Even though they are older now, they still create chaos in the house every now and again. Of course Wakko loves to lay all over whatever he shouldn't and Daisy loves to chomp on plastic bags. Wakko is the most vocal. He is constantly "talking" (meowing) at us. Sometimes he even talks back when we tell him not to do something. Both are very loving and we wouldn't trade them in for anything. Before these guys came along, we had Fang. We found him at an animal shelter and he lived with us for 5 years before he passed on. We have owned many other types of animals over the years. We've had a Beta, a rat, mice, frogs and a bearded dragon. They are all resting comfortably in the back yard. RIP. I also have personalized license plates: MUZK FRK. In 2007, we got rid of hubby's truck, which meant we had to give up his plate: DRAGULA. I hated to have to give it up...It's now a music collectable. |
