Hah! I have on a number of occasions told people that "Music is my mind-altering substance of choice." And that really is true; I can't imagine living without the almost constant audio backdrop; the soundtrack of life.

Some years ago, there was actually a "movement" started around "Voluntary Simplicity" as a response to the endless complexification of modern life. I tend to fall increasingly into that corner... don't get me wrong, I love the comforts of life and art and things, but less is definitely more... more and more.

Wine is an incentive to chillax... sunsets on a warm day are best enjoyed with wine.
