besides my obsession for good music i love to travel. there is so much to discover on this earth; i want to see the world in all its glory. meet the beautiful people and learn their way of living, see their art, learn their art, taste their food. if i had my way i would spend the rest of my life traveling. maybe live on a boat and just sail everywhere spending atleast six months in each place. trying to learn the language they speak, try my hand at some of their crafts, take lots of pictures, and eat plenty good food. photography is another huge passion. my favorite venue would have to be concerts. taking photos of people singing from their heart, its magic.
honest people that know how to communicate...honestly. That have a loving heart, and can also laugh at themselves. most of all people who dont take life too seriously- as i often do.
jill scott, lauryn hill, sade, robert nesta plus his sons Damian, Stephen, and Ziggy, matisyahu, luciano, ben harper, anthony b, morgan heritage, midnite, dezarie... i appreciate and enjoy everything. music that inspires and moves me to another level is what i look for. "exhale from the heart, not from the lungs. speak from the heart, not from the tongue....love like your life depends on, because it does." -michael franti.
pinero, singing in the rain, al otro lado, almost famous, james in jerusalem, charlie and the chocolate factory, dazed and confused, return to paradise, apt pupil, american history x....plus anything that makes me laugh, harold and kumar go to white castle is a great one, elf, anchorman, wedding crashers, etc.
kill your tv- it's evil
i love poetry... saul williams, jelaluddin rumi, ee cummings, pablo neruda, jose marti, miguel pinero, plus many others. any book by tom robbins is great, 'half asleep in frogs pajamas' is my favorite, or maybe 'another roadside attraction'. this man is a great writer, definitely worth checking out.
my mom in the sense of her adventuresome nature, creativity, courage, and strength. my father for the amazing knowledge he possesses and the lives he saves. my sister for inspiring me and helping me realize who i really am and what i want to be. my favorite musical artists also inspire me...dont know if they fit into the "hereo" aspect of this...but music moves me to another level. live on, live on.
