I think that can be summed up with the all-inclusive, ever-elusive term "art." In particular, though, I write prose and spoken word poetry; I am in love with language; I play the upright bass; I enjoy reading, hiking, cooking; I am always working on my next DIY project (this is complete bullshit--unless, of course, you count the DIY DERBY project that infected my brain two years ago, and is holding steady); I am never without music; I dig roller-derby action and riding my old school electra beach cruiser (her name's Black Betty, and she is hot!!!), and I spend a lot of time getting tattooed (also a lie. My artist moved a while back, and I only get to see her once in a while. Besides, I need to reserve some space for the future...).
I am interested in people who are interesting, and who maybe, just maybe, dig the shit I dig. Last but not least, I'd like to meet you... at my next bout! .
... is always playing--that way I have a soundtrack to my life! Everything psycho and rockabilly, old country, jazz, blues, tiki lounge, Elvis and otherwise swingin' stuff, folk rock, ragtime, ska, hillbilly jug bands, angry instrument wielding female vocalists, politically motivated hip-hop, doo wop, surf, reggae... There isn't much I can't get down to. Anything goes as long as it has heart. I grew up punk rock, though, and that is something that never really goes away once it's inside--so you will always find some Misfits, NOFX, Descendents, Social Distortion, Dead Milkmen, Bad Religion, Black Flag, or Fugazi readily available when we hang out. .
When I have time to watch them, I usually fall asleep. I love everything John Waters, I think documentaries are rad, I love indie films, and find cheesy John Cusack movies among my very faves... .
Not a big fan of the tube... It breeds illiteracy. READ A FUCKING BOOK!
Anything out of the amazing group of Nuyorican Poets; anything by Tom Robbins, Saul Williams, ee cummings, Sylvia Plath, Sherman Alexie, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Gary Snyder, Ticht Naht Hahn... This list could run into infinity... .
The educated rebels throughout history and of today; roller girls, and those who support them; hard-working single moms; people giving the system the finger; and those making positive life changes for themselves in consideration of the ever-changing world facing us all.
