I'd like to meet:

who knows? Elvis. You know - I like meeting interesting people but I am an introvert. As far as famous people.....I don't really know what I would tell them if I met them and I don't really know who anyone is. I wouldn't know a famous person if I saw one. I am culturally illiterate. I would like to keep in touch with old friends and people I have fallen out of touch with. I am horrible at keeping in touch. Don't take it personally.

Music:

Cake, Shakira, Juanes, Intocable, El VEZ, Hepcat, Joan Sebastian, The Cure, Sublime, The Specials, Nina Simone, Paolo Conte, Ella Fitzgerald, Squirrel Nut Zippers...

Movies:

American Beauty, Pieces of April, Amelie, A Day Without a Mexican, Everything Is Illuminated, Farenheit 911, The Shape of Things, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (the original), anything and everything by Michael Moore, American History X, Momento, The Tango Lesson, Pan Cada Dia (not), and there are probably a million more that I can't think of right now that I am sure I have liked.

Television:

Bill Mahr, Sponge Bob Square Pants, 30 days, Dirty Jobs, Unwrapped, Without Reservations, Anything on the Discovery Channel. The Iron Chef (not Iron Chef America - but the original Japanese one), and although I hate to admit it......my guilty pleasure is Wife Swap, American Idol, and America's Got Talent (yes.....I am actually watching a "reality" show - but it is an interesting slice of American life. *Disclaimer: I don't watch anything regularly....but if I happen to be in front of the TV and one of these shows is on, then I may watch it. I don't watch much TV though. I would much rather be... playing the piano sleeping playing with Lupita surfing the net talking to friends going out with friends eating reading

Heroes:

All the amazing, un-recognized people living in the shadows who work hard to make the world work and who respect humankind. My mom, dad, grandma, sister, husband, and friends.People who help this word be a better place.People who are not greedy and stay true to themselves.People who are respectful of others.People who are not fake.
