I like adventure with diversity, intensity, exotic appeal, sensuality, and challenge. I love places off the beaten path that have character and are a bit rustic. I enjoy the outdoors and don't mind if my armpits get hairy and my beard grows to match GRIZZLY ADAMS. I know how to mark my territory and do it with the grace and ease of a canine. I enjoy most anything outdoorsy where there is lots of wildlife. I even like my fish with the teeth. They are feistier! As a child I filled my head with dreams of safari in Africa. These days I have become more enchanted with India and Bandhavgarh National Park (Mahua Kothi- by Taj and CC hotels). I love tigers and find Indian culture intrigueing. I would love to tour around Alaska in an RV and visit Kodiak island to fish with the bears, hang out with more bears in Antarctica, climbing Patagonia, etc. I would also like to take my son to China someday to familiarize him with some of his culture (he's half Chinese). I like exotic countries which is pretty much everything else abroad. I certainly don't batt an eyelash at a little dirt and danger. I find the outdoors a little less limiting than my capacity to spend huge amounts of money living the city life. I have exstravagant tastes that would put most people in the poor house in a day- if that is where I allow my massive energy to flow.
I'd like to meet Chris Cornell to gawk at his radiance, his shiny teeth, and hear his voice when he talks. Chris Cornell is my favorite artist of all time. When I was younger it was Duran Duran. I did get to hang out with Simon Le Bon and John Taylor for a short while in Phoenix on their Decade tour. It would be cool to have the same fortune with Chris Cornell. I'd like to meet Tom Waits. I love his voice and the way he sings his songs. He sings his stories with such grittiness: " A rat always knows when he's in with the weasels". " He's not the kind of wheel you fall asleep at ". You feel like your down there in funk right with him. He strikes me as such a whimsy cat that I don't think I could ever tire of hearing what he had to say. I think there would always be something intrigueing coming out of his head. I'd like to meet Edgar Allen Poe and knock his skelleton over the head with a bottle of cognac for writing such a grim poem about the raven. I'd like to hang out with Bernd Heinrich for about a year while he's researching ravens. I enjoy the people I meet on myspace. It is nice to have friends in such a sterile antiseptic sort of way. There are many of you that seem to be great souls. May the sun shine on you always! xoxoxo

If any song was a snake charmer and I were a snake (more specifically a black cobra) this song playing: "TO THE SHORE" by DURAN DURAN I find particularly hypnotic. I can feel myself slythering out of the basket to dance. It is sensual and sexy, but when I googled the lyrics it was even more stunning (liking getting whacked over the head with a cast iron pan)- "Gorgeing your Sanhedralites"??? It is a rare song to find. I can't find it on itunes or any music stores in the US and have been trying to find it for years. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Tom Waits. His lyrics fit me to a "T" (beautiful disasters). There is always humor to be found in the serious matters of life and death. I also believe that one should create beauty in their lives- no matter what. Surround yourself with beautiful music and try not to be dogmatic about different genres. I have tried to keep a very open mind with music. Obviously there are some things that are just not appealing and have the ability to make me cringe like finger nails on a chalk board. Or like people urinating on canvas and calling it "art". I use music to transport me to different places. Sometimes I use it to acompany and enhance the embience of a place (like country music before and after the rodeo, lazy music on the beach, loud heavy metal on a run, being hopelessly in love, music for my children that has me in tears, etc).I love all sorts of music. My ravenlike nature finds me enchanted with all sorts of musically related sparkly-twinklies like the notion of pecking on CHRIS CORNELL's face while allopreening his feathers, ALISON KRAUSS and her bluegrass twangyness makes me want to hammer my beak rhythmically on a sparkley tin roof, GOLDFRAPP for their shiney lead singer Alison (I'd like to tuck her between some twigs in my nest), DISTURBED for mimicking guteral croaks, FILTER for harrowing aerobatic displays and gliding on the thermals, JOHNNY CASH because he was a raven in a past life and always wore black to prove it, TOM WAITTS for his ravenlike sense humor and inspiration while stealing golf balls of the course of a major PGA game or pecking a baby seal to death for food, STING for undying devotion to my mate for life as well as spirituality wich is reflected in raven lore in SOME raven tollerant cultures, KORN for feuling anger when mobbing intruding raptors, H.I.M for communing with the underworld and attending funerals with the crows, WEIRD AL YANKOVICH for apetite stimulation while shoving mass amounts of food into my throat to cache for winter or raiding a picnic, GARTH BROOKS for a good ole "Caw Y'all", and if you ever hear me playing any romatic music on myspace it's for garbled croaking. That's a big sign I am in my juvenile mating mode. xoxoxoxox CAW!

I love all sorts of movies. Here are some of the movies I've viewed recently: "SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS" has a hilarious vibrater scene as well as a masturbation scene that was pretty cute. "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE" was funny as heck especially the part at the very end when Olive got on stage for her performance. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants! "BASQUIAT" was also a great movie about the artist and the world that he lived in. It took place in the 80's in New York at the same time that mass drug consumption and AIDS ravaged the art community. "VODKA LEMON" was a foreign movie. It moves slow, but it's simplicity is endearing. I think I am starting to need glasses. Subtitles are getting harder for me to read.

I don't like T.V.
Bernd Heinrich:"RAVENS IN WINTER", "MIND OF THE RAVEN", "ONE MAN'S OWL". Books on Falconry: "COMPLETE FALCONER", "BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA", "HAWKING AND FALCONRY FOR BEGINNERS". George Gilder "TELECOSM" and infinite bandwidth and technological evolution into present day and future. "GOOGLE HACKS". "FIREFOX HACKS", various books on utilizing PHOTOSHOP and DREAMWEAVER, books I have used to make soap, cook, lay marble floors and wall enclosures, furniture refinishing, venetian plaster and home decorating. Anne Rice novels: most of the vampire chronicles and most of the Mayfair witch chronicles. DR. Linda Page: "HEALTHY HEALING 12TH EDITION", "DETOXIFICATON". Deepak Chopra:"JOURNEY INTO HEALING","PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH". Various books on herbology, METERIA MEDICA, and other medical journals. My short attention span seems to tollerate Carl Hiaasen books (for fiction) really well. I have read multitudes of fiction books in the past, but I have a hard time sitting still and prefer audiobooks(mostly self improvement like Tony Robbins and Dr. Wayne Dyer). I am an athiest and find the idea of religions and god more romantic than logical for my bird brain(ravenlike) capacity. I enjoy learning about different religions and belief systems. I especially have enjoyed reading books and teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.

Ordinary (but not so ordinary) every day people who have overcome the treacherous hurdles and tragedies of circumstance- making lemonaid out of the lemons life has dealt them. I'm not religious, but I believe in the human spirit and our ability to manifest. Our minds are a powerfull force to reckon with! Be cautious what you put in your head. That is what seperates the heroes from statistics.BELOW: MIGHT BE FUN TO MOONLIGHT AS A SNAKE CHARMER. PLAY A GREAT TUNE THAT A SNAKE MIGHT WANT TO HEAR. MAYBE SOME KENNY G LIKE IN "MASTER OF DISGUISE". KEEP IT TO SOFT MUSIC AND TRY NOT TO VIBRATE ANY OF THE SNAKE'S LOWER CHAKRAS(MAKING HIM VERY IRRITABLE).
