Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit...


In the overall way you see Yourself? This has probably been asked before, so forgive me please if it is redundent. I actually started thinking about this after reading another thread here about the "typical Audiophile". It got me curious. Are You an Audiophile first and foremost, or does this distinction fall in place behind other badges you might wear. Parent? Professional? Volunteer? Maybe you would not even describe yourself as an Audiophile? Whatever the case may be, I am often suprised by what I read in these threads. I see people here as being extremely generous and friendly-sometimes unbelievably compassionate & funny, always very intelligent, beyond merely being well informed. I see myself as being fortunate to have such a resource.

Too late for that advice Golivejr! Stayed up all night with Diesel and just went through my 14th shot of espresso. I live in Seattle man. It's against the law not to drink coffee in Seattle! They'll stick your ass in jail strap you down and hook you up with a Starbucks drip straight into your vein. After a few days of that they just drop you off in the middle of Occidental Square and brother, let me tell you, you ain't got a chance!

Heard a strange noise outside at around 6:30 in the A.M. and thought it was probably one of Porter's crew come to make good on the contract. So I sicked Diesel on their ass and come to find out it's my neighbor heading off to work. I don't know if it was me screaming or Diesel comin' at him like that but the poor dude crapped his pants and was late for work. There was some pounding on the door just after that, but I didn't answer it. I'll keep broadcasting up until they get me. Hear me now folks, The Beatles tried to tell you, but the music industry moguls got to them first. The original lyrics are locked in a vault an apartment in The Dakota building. It actually went, "Bose is all you need"!!

Audio is a large part of my life because music overlaps with so much of it. Music is one window to the divine and helps me in my relationship with God; it is part of my relationship with my children; my wife and I dance, cook and make love with music in the background. It's too hard for me to separate it all, let alone rank order it. I'm with Marco on that -- though I haven't had quite as much coffee ;-)
Marco, did you participate in the WTO protest in Seattle a few years back? I can totally imagine you amongst the angry crowds... haha.
