My Music

Jimmy's younger brother, Patrick, emailed a bunch of his friends with this music survey that he had to create for one of his classes. He has to composite all of our answers and make pie charts and graphs. As someone who is used to complete b.s. assignments from teachers, I of course agreed to help him out. Here were some of the questions and the answers I gave him.

~There were about twenty more questions and after answering them, I learned one thing about myself. I am really a Lynyrd Skynyrd fanatic. But I kind of already knew that about me. I recently told my mom that I my music was from another time. I couldn't be more right.
