Music, paradigm shifting, breaking the mold, being and letting be, comming as I am, musical collaborations, cooking, chemistry, alchemy, that which I have yet to experience, traveling, relaxing, exploring, creating, participating, living.
Other like minded individuals to share in the experience. Musicians, artists, writters, gardeners, photographers, cooks, surfers, growers, goat herders, xenophiles, movie makers. People who appriciate culture and believe that culture is an ever changing phenomenom whose growth is stagnated by our current sterile TV molded society. Revolutionaries, free spirits, anyone with a passion for learning and living, Basically anyone who is not afraid to get down. Looking to create an ever expanding circle of amigos. No bullshit. No swell headed egomaniacs. Genuine real people who are not afraid to be what they truly are.
Jazz, Swing, Brazillian, Bossa, Groove, Reggae, Samba, Soul, Funk,Indie, Improve, Jam...Sounds crazy but I've been influenced by a lot in my life and travels, and somehow all of that comes out in its own way. I appriciate originality in music because of it's individuality not just because it's something you've never heard before. I believe that with music it either does it to you or it doesn't. It's all in the chemistry of feeling.
Here are just a few I can remember right now. The Sound of Paradise, Children of Heaven, Walkabout, The House of Flying Daggars, Traffic, The Gods Must be Crazy.
Link TV, Free Speech TV, BET Jazz, Food Network, Discovery... But not really big into TV. I like movies more. But I will say I very much enjoy "The Office"
Here are a few books that have influenced me, The Prophet by Kahil Gibrham, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Sidartha or anything by Hermen Hesse, Geshundtheit by Patch Adams.
Jesus, Buddah, Mohammad, Krishna, and that old lady who beat up that theif with her purse when he tried to steal it.
