I love extremes - drinking until drunken dialing/texting and eating 7-11 hotdogs is perfectly logical and then going on a raw food cleanse the next day; partying with friends and being incredibly sociable one weekend and being solo at a silent retreat the next; spending until i panic about money; picking at the minuscule until the end result is 10 times larger than it needs to be - just to name a few. Other things that interest me... Jesus Kitsch; Day of the dead; Black Americana; YOGA; broken baby doll heads with missing eyes; sock puppets; ahimsa; reading; the human body and how miraculous and amazing it is; monkeys; camping; weird things with time on digital clocks, such as when it's 12:34 or 3:33 (the holy trinity PLUS it makes my eyes blurry); nutella; Burlesque; a good, seedy bar with a dart board, a jukebox and a wanna-be Bukowski; skipping; kissing; snorkeling; playing in the dirt; schlock shops and flea markets; hopscotch; seeing how much useless trivia i can recount when I can't sleep; acupuncture; sushi; massage; meeting people; crazy wisdom; quotes; public transportation when it's more for people watching than transport; music; comedy; live theatre; enjoying the beauty where I live; traveling; playing with rocks; hanging with my mom; cats; the feeling after I have just brushed my teeth; skeletons; hummingbirds; circus freaks and carnies; tarot and horoscopes; lemon and salt; hands; lizards; things with big gnashing teeth; slides and swings; jumping on noisy manhole covers; taking a drive when there is no traffic; Jif peanut butter eaten out of the jar until I get heart palpitations; old churches and cathedrals, larger-than-life spirituality in all its many forms; not wearing shoes; tripping out in Austin and NYC; princess cake or any other forms of THE MIGHTY MARZIPAN - food of the gods... ................. "Love every leaf... Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will come to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an abiding universal love." - Dostoyevsky
"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. " - Albert Schweitzer
too many to name. My tastes run all over the place, like Jackass to The U.S. vs. John Lennon. I'd watch over again: "As Good As It Gets", "American Beauty", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "The Holy Grail", "Maria Full of Grace", "Sicko", "Unfaithful", "Swingers", "Fast Times", "Spinal Tap", "21 Grams", "Crash", "When Harry Met Sally", "North by Northwest", "Requiem For A Dream", "Traffic", "Blow", "God Grew Tired of Us"; "No End in Sight"; "Little Miss Sunshine", "Gone with the Wind", "Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea", "The Full Monty", "Fargo", "Lady and The Tramp", "Boogie Nights", "Volver", "10 Items or Less", "The Birdcage". And there are many more that I am forgetting to list at this juncture.
I don't watch TV, but I do netflick. I’d love to be able to watch the super hot drunken brilliant Charlie Rose, but he still ain't enough to make succumb to TV again.
I have a penchant for buying self-help books because some of them sound so excellent but truth be told... I am lazy and invariably put them aside when I realize that there is actual work to do. I'll get to them one day... promise.I also read those dark, addiction-type books and those dark madness-type stories like the works of William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, that whole crew. Raw & Real Prose and poetry by the genius Charles Bukowski. And contemporary authors like Augusten Burroughs and Chuck Palahniuk, and I even enjoyed "A Million Little Pieces" and "My friend Leonard" by that liar who pissed off Oprah. Some days I really like horribly depressing books like "Passing for Normal" and the like.Intelligent humor like Hunter S. Thompson and others. The Sedaris siblings.Silly humor like "The idiot girls club".I like non-fiction, historical, biographies, Latin stories, the classics.anatomy books, Pilates or yoga books and maybe some passages from Rumi or Buddhist authors like David Richo, Sylvia Boorstein, Natalie Goldberg and I am constantly re-reading Ram Dass' "Be Here Now." And, of course, all of the FROG AND TOAD children’s' books and of course, the Narnia books.
