*Join StopGlobalWarming.org. Together our voices will be heard!
*Spread the word, share the learning. Send this link to family, friends, and colleagues. Share why this is so important.

*Put the heat on your elected officials.
*The power of the pocketbook.
READ: At work, you probably expect to be judged on your qualifications and performance, not on your personal life. But in 31 states, you can be fired because you're gay or because your boss thinks you are – and it's 100% legal. It's 39 states if you're transgender. That's just not right. I hope you'll take action with Human Rights Campaign to tell Congress to include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in federal workplace discrimination laws.It's about time "equal opportunity" included all of us.Go to http://www.passENDAnow.org

My Interests

chris, entourage and family nights, yoga every morning, going to shows and films, finding good places to eat, catching up with my homegirls, coloring, listening to new music, reading The Nation, watching british t.v. shows, listening to my dad yell at the yappy politicians on t.v., freshly ground coffee, hot fudge-banana-brownie-chocolate ice cream- sundaes with whipped cream and cherries, disneyland adventures, my mac, movies that make me think about them all day, painting and drawing, singing in the car, saving the planet.

I'd like to meet:

kermit the frog:
"i've got a dream too. but it's about singing and dancing and making people happy. that's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. and, well, i've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. and it kind of makes us like a family."

Music:

i love music.
(the last cd i listened all the way through: hanson's The Walk. it's good, so shut up.)
the end.
groups i go see regularly: Buchanan (gotta have my live fix), Mike Barnet, mikey vitale and danny montoya, Rocco Deluca , and i love deccatree. and i go see hanson whenever they're in town... or in vegas...

Movies:

what the fuck do we know?
SICKO, Supersize me, Water, american beauty, casablanca, frida, almost famous, amelie, moulin rouge.
ok, and harry potter, too.
rear window.
and donnie darko, the director's cut.
and napoleon dynamite is halarial.
saw Garden State millions of times... it's good.
A home at the end of the world
brokeback mtn.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
motorcycle diaries, true romance, and tarantino in general
adaptation and being john malkovich
stranger than fictionwaking life

Television:

i love cartoons (and stuff like robot chicken).
weeds, big love, six feet under, and everything i can't watch because i don't have cable
entourage, of course!
hitchcock
sundance and anything educational... like KCET, KOCE, discovery or nat'l geographic...planet earth series.
and i'm watching the buffy series, because joss whedon is my leader, and firefly was only one season. losers. british t.v., like as time goes by.

Books:

i'll read anything at least once. feel free to suggest good reads. i'm through with text books now. don't suggest those. i'm sad vonnegut died... i was just getting to know him. and so it goes. "Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey." Kurt Vonnegut, Cold Turkey
reading the final harry potter book... so sad it's the end.

Heroes:

anyone who figures out what the hell they want to do in this life. and anyone who puts others first. and all those people who give real gifts to others like water wells and food and their time.
