music (all flavors), real connections with other people, singing, good food, my rowboat, fire, photography, my amazing pussycat Dolphy, martial arts, romance, travel, sunshine, those little french sorbets that come frozen in a whole orange rind, stupid little crafts projects just for fun, and pretentious/precocious conversations about art, life, and philosophy. Notice that "hanging out online" is not one of these, and please understand why I won't be spending a bunch of time chatting with yall on here. You're welcome to come out to the house and talk for real.
Old friends who want to keep in touch and help me through this.New people should head on over to www.myspace.com/djtamaramusic
