Bellydancing, different forms of music, yoga, outdoor activities, circuses (minus the animal cruelty), environmentalism, feminism, health, traveling, and just anything I can learn about that can expand my thinking and understanding of the world.
My little Pretzel
I listen to pretty much everything. I have an undying love for old school garage rock, modern trip hop, latin, jazz, metal, reggae, and international music. GROUPS like Incubus, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, The Starlite Desperation, TOOL, Q and Not U, Erase Errata, The Black Heart Procession, South, The Verve, Smoke City, Sneaker Pimps, Sigur Ros, Oasis, Blur, Beck, Kasabian. OLD SCHOOL GARAGE ROCK like the Sonics, The Beatles, Gore Gore Girls, The Monkees, The Wailers, The Ventures. HIP HOP like M.I.A., Dilated Peoples, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Common. The list goes on and on and on. I'm an all-around music appreciator. My obsession lately is French muse and songstress Emilie Simon.
My Aeon Flux boxed set. I Love Lucy, Bewitched, The Munsters, The Jetsons, The Flintstones. Anything from back in the day I will watch.
Favorite quotes:
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage." -- Lao Tzu
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-- Jack Kerouac
My loving mother and father. Yes that cheeky little bugger is me.
Tony. I am so grateful for him always being there and understanding me. I'm spoken for =).
Niagara Detroit. This women is seriously one of the main reasons I love and embrace female empowerment in art today. .
Audrey Hepburn. She was so perfectly imperfect and I loved it.
I admire many people for various things but my younger sister tops them off because she keeps me grounded and loving life every second I can. We simply just love each other to death and stick together no matter what. We've got that sisterly bond that's very rare nowadays.
