Completely Biased

About Me

I am random, pretentious, dorky, goofy, nerdy, open minded, opinionated, ambitious, spontaneous and a reformed hollywood club rat. aim@pncessleah

My Interests

Thinking up business ideas, formulating business plans, writing, clubbing where everybody knows our name, hitting the beach, tennis, golf driving range but no playing on the greens, marathon training, gathering information, giving relationship advice, texting/emailing/smoke signaling/carrier pigeoning with shmosh, irrationally reacting to Lakers losses, ecstatically jumping for joy when my Laker babies win, cooking vegetarian delights, baking random things that are bad for you, reading, gyming, and getting distracted.

I'd like to meet:

Kiyosaki, my favorite personal finance author of all time despite his sometimes unethical suggestions. Bradbury, the writer of the best contemporary short stories in my lifetime. Kate Spade, to find out how she did it all on her name. Dalai Lama, to discuss the role of American society and the pursuit of happiness. Bushell, for her publishing experience.Oh, any anyone who is a buyer for the major clothing retailers including Saks, Nordy's, Neiman Marcus.

Music:

Everybody say hiiiiiiiiiip hop. Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiip hop. Common Sense, De la Soul, tribe called quest, and it goes on and on. But I'm an R&B junkie at heart. Throw on some Mary J Blidge, Gladys Knight or Babyface and it's on.But the soundtrack to my life would have to include Somebody by Depeche Mode, Love Soon and Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer, and Can I get A... by Jay-Z.My alter clubbing ego enjoys booty shaking hits from 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Biggie Smalls and the man Tupac (who is not dead, just evading taxes in the Caymen Islands.)

Movies:

Ameile and the entire foreign movie genre. I think movies in the US that are groomed to be blockbusters are absolute mediocre drivel dummed down to insult the intelligence of the masses.Independent films that are plot based and not advertising controlled.Swingers, despite the fact that it's so main stream because "you're so money and you don't even know it."

Television:

Sex and the City not including seasons 3 and 4 because those were horrendous.Law & Order SVU, because if you've ever seen it, you would understand.Otherwise, I rarely catch anything regularly.

Books:

The Great Gatsby because every time I read it, I see something I didn't see beforeThe Last Season because I still don't understand how my Lakers could have 4 future hall of famers on one team and still not with the championship, then turn around and trade Shaq to the Heat while keeping ball hogging Kobe.One More for the Road because Bradbury brings the page what most people can't even bring in real life.Rich Dad, Poor Dad because it's what everyone should know but no one bothers learning.I am a total book whore though so you'll catch me at borders at least once a week.

Heroes:

My mommy because she's awesome blossom.My grandma because she's responsible for the awesomeness of the blossom.My grandfather because he was everything I wish I will be.
