dancing, popping/,boogaloo, funk dance styles, altering the appearance of the world, snowboarding, handstyles, piecing, rocking, skating, photography, design, cooking, traveling, partying, working out, good food and drink, road trips, BBQing, movies, music, building things, graphic design, sculpture, projects, breaking laws that were meant to be broken while adhering to my own, making something out of nothing, mechanical stuff, DIY everything, being anti-bling, pretending to be bling and laughing about it, good conversation, New Mexican accents, passion and fascination for anything, making good meals outta whatever you got in your crusty fridge and cupboards, destroying stereotypes, free shit, cheap shit, nice shit, ghetto shit, being or discovering that I/you/it is something different than what any one or you expected. Positive interaction where energy and ideas are shared. Love and spreading love for life, the world and good people.One of my goals in life is to spend as much time as possible at that point of elation where I feel the most alive, in which I experience happiness, satisfaction, a sense that all is one, and everyday bullshit is insignificant in comparison. More importantly, a sense of purpose and significance in my existence. *My other goal in life is to help other people reach this point, and feed off it the way I do on other people, then they can do the same for someone else... My true purpose may not be entirely for me to decide, but in the meantime I strive to manifest, share, and return the love, style, and inspiration I see in the world and other people.Right now I am working on trying to break out of bad habits in thought and consciousness and expand upon my abilities to understand, perceive, and interact. This is way too much to get into on this stupid page, so maybe we can have a good conversation related to this if we ever have the chance.
People who are down for their shit, handle their business, and strive to do their best at whatever they love. I dont care if you aren't into the same shit I am, just be down for your shit. People from my past who I have lost touch with during my lifelong tour of the four states (and growing) I have lived in and other places I have visited. Hip Hoppers, Rockers, BBoys and BGirls, Skaters, Snowboarders, Writers, DJs, MCs, Artists, Musicians, Photographers, Designers, Gearheads, Performers, and people who ride bikes. Heads who are on point! People who are themselves and comfortable with themselves. People who are strong, can deal with pain, pay dues, see and experience new shit whether good or bad, and take the good from it. Because there is good in every experience.
In a nutshell: I like turntable and electronically created music with bass and kicks, or live funk that makes me want to get down, well chosen words that ryme to the beat, and fast brutal drums with churning power chords. Hip Hop, Funk, Electro, Breaks, House, DnB, IDM, Trance, Rock, Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Jazz, New Wave, 80's rock, pop and electro pop or whatever else I decide is good to lisiten to. Especially old school or retro new school electro and funk for dancing. Okay...
