General interest, hmmmm. Wouldn't that like be an oxymoron? I mean - if something truly interested you, would you classify it as general? Let's break this down.

Thus - I have no "genreal interest". Why have general interest when you can have particular, peculiar, special, or just plain old specific interest.


Besides - if you want to know something "specific" then ask. Don't inundate my world with generalities. My time is too valuable. I would say that I definately have diversified interest. Most of which society as a whole would not deem appropriate, but, I have but one comment for those lilliputian minded idealist. F*** em' and feed em fish heads!


Oh - and I love music. Lots of it - all kinds of it - music soothes the savage beast.
