Everything I Have in This World, pt. 1
Music. It can seem to be the only thing I care about. It's the only thing I really expend money on. It brings so much pleasure to my life.

I think of this as a great inheritance and legacy to leave my future progeny. I understand that this too shall pass and that someday all of this will be in a pile of apocalyptic rubble, but I can't resist. Here's what I got so far...
