"They",after all isn't "they" that say?, Sade, George Clinton, A jewelry guru who would take me under their wing, the Dalai Lama, would of liked to have met Salvador Dali so we can talk about our dreams and Alexander Calder so he could teach me how to make some wicked looking jewelry, as well as Good people who are drama free and have a positive outlook on life; not so much a pathological optimist, but those that are realistic but not so cynical.
I love anything from Dead Can Dance to Bob Marley; Frank Sinatra to NIN: Massive Attack; Tool(MJK is completely twisted); Rage(who I miss terribly and NO, Audioslave is not at all the same thing!); C.O.C.;Coltrane; Nikka Costa; Yeah,Yeah Yeahs; 311; Pink Floyd; Rush; Hendrix; SRV(Dallas native); The Von Ehrics(gotta represent my crazy ass Dallas boys); Toadies; Sublime (Brad's voice always puts me in a good mood); Jeff Buckley (amazing voice); Sade(complete package...beauty and talent); Maxwell; Lenny Kravitz; The Cure; David Bowie; Alice in Chains;Iron Maiden; Foo Fighters; Kings of Leon; Faith No More (Mike Patton is such a well rounded musician);older Incubus; Beastie Boys; Earth,Wind and Fire; BVSC; K+D; Thievery Corp.; Telepopmusik; older Outkast; Common's pretty cool; Finley Quaye; Bjork; Saul Williams; Esthero; Zeppelin; Queen; The Cars; The Police; Heart; Santana; The Clash; Old School Hip Hop and underground stuff you won't hear on MTV1 0r 2... or whatever...Industrial, House, Ambient, Metal, I love Classic Rock and 80's retro (you know we all have to have something to reminisce to)...I believe music is a mood enhancer... so I enjoy many genres...
Fun-lighthearted Comedies,Action and Drama and others that contain Twisted Plots and Witty Characters.....some movies that stand out: Goodfellas; True Romance; Reality Bites; Crash; American History X; Boondock Saints; Harvard Man; Kevin Smith movies; Frida; Almost Famous; Dazed and Confused; Basquiat; Wizard of Oz; The Christmas Story; Less Than Zero; Slam; Natural Born Killers; Poolhall Junkies; Hedwig and the Angry Inch; Gia; Singles; Old school Star Wars; Pixar movies; and no matter how many times I watch Fearless, it hits me as hard as the 1st time ...I also recommend Peaceful Warrior...it's pretty heavy. If you like the "Power of Now"...this is for you.
unless it's teaching me something....no thanks. I'm also anti-news...until the news has more of what good the world has to offer, I'd rather not subject myself to the thought of living in fear. However, I enjoy watching LA Ink and Entourage (Jeremy Piven's character "Ari" makes the show...he cracks me up)
The Four Agreements and The Power of Now.......I can relate to these books in everyday life, I also enjoy reading Autobiographies...lastest ones were Sharon Osbourne's "Extreme" and Motley Crue's "The Dirt"...(I loved that one) Any recommendations?
Everyday people who are doing good things for you and me. People who speak their mind, make things happen, and inspire others..."Man cannot discover new oceans until he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."~ Anonymous~
