Correcting the entertainment industry with decent live music(not cover bands), piano, guitar, percussion... Exercise, Traveling in latin countries, basketball, football, swimming, cliff diving (not an idiot), new cultures (other than North American), shakin' it, camping, ongoing education, sailing, Just havin' a "?.@.." load of fun.
People who get it.**** No Latin Hip Hop please.****I don't believe Latin music was ever intended for the "Bling Bling" concept. The pure are proud that they don't recognize possessions to feign the art of living. Nor should we want to throw away what a latin culture has spent generations putting together and in turn generate more tax paid social institutions that make politicians rich? I just don't wanna' see my latino brothers lose thier manners and trade in thier freedom over somebody stepping on thier Nikes! If you don't see the logic in this, then it's possible that you may be living a lie. I respect the real, who don't create unreasonable problems professed to be more important than those of others. Respect the culture if you care to represent the culture.

Lenny, The Waterboy, Groundhog Day, The Shawshank Redemption, Airplane. Most scary movies are weak. I have a hard time inviting synthetic stress. It's like having good weather, and being stuck in a dark room.
Only as a social piece. I'm too pragmatic to become enchanted with hollywood. I prefer comedy. Basketball games, and Football playoffs. The news when I want to get cynical. When I see people watching random TV I picture the gerbal running the wheel inside inside thier head. Seriously.. No matter how much I like the person, It's there, and there's nothing I can do about it. I wish I could change that, but I can't. Maybe I can substitute it for a Moo Cow!
The Firm, all educational "Made Simple", books are well made. Latin Semantics. Meditation, "The Eight Point Program". Self Help Books, Sales and Occupational Books.
John Lennon, Lenny Bruce, Ghandi (no doubt), Micheal Moore, Bob Marley, Willie Nelson. Superman rocks, but I don't think I could watch it again. Just about anyone inspiring enough to suggest that our government have a conscience...
