Music, music and more music, concerts, cooking, my job, movies, a good debate, intelligent people, learning, laughing, travelling & trying new things....I can't stand those who are pussies & don't look outside the box......change is good.
All kinds of people from all walks of life.
If we're talking celebrity status...there are two:
Pharrell Williams
Jill Scott
I'm all over the place really....but my main spins would be: Jill Scott (a true poet), N*E*R*D, Masters at Work, Miguel Migs, Jay-J, Fred Everything, Rasmus Faber, Zero 7, any sweet HOUSE MUSIC, JT, Scissor Sisters, Keane, Beck, Coldplay, Stereophonics, Seal, Jay-Z, Tori Amos, Maroon 5, Elliot Smith, Jamie Cullum, Travis, Jamiroquai, Ben Harper, Bob Marley, The Police, & Radiohead. I also adore the "Oldies" EWF, Al Green, The Beatles, Donovan, Cat Stevens, Aretha, Etta James, Otis Redding, Oscar Peterson, Chet baker, Miles Davis...and pretty much anything you can groove to. Fun!
Magnolia, My Left Foot, Shine, American History X, Dead Man Walking, True Romance, Color Purple, The Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Commitments, Howard Stern's Private Parts...has to do with my job!, Kingpin, Vanilla Sky, In the Name of the Father, Wicker Park, Anchorman, Alfie...and a lot of various foreign films - the list could go on & on...
I love Brit TV....especially The Office or AB/FAB. I pretty much have my TV on The Food Network 24/7...and I also enjoy watching: The Amazing Race, Arrested Development, Inside the Actors Studio, KINK (mmm..guilty pleasure), Dave Chapelle; Jon Stewart & Conan O'Brien crack me up. And then to the complete opposite - I never miss my Brit soap Coronation Street...ooh the drama.
My favourite book that I turn to often is The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran - he answers questions & the mysteries of life in such a spiritual & poetic way...I can't help but melt in to his words. The Power of One, Tandia, Prince of Tides, Transister Radio, Where the Heart Is, Honeymoon in Purdah, among others, are also favourites. My list tends to change however, as I'm constantly reading....
The women in my life.
My parents...I believe they did it right.
