TO MASTER THE ART OF LIVING!! In my case, it's all about: Family, friends, muzik, traveling, reading, writing, people watching, all forms of art and creativity, photography, architecture, anything unique, hanging out at libraries/bookstores/coffee shops, eclectic lounges and restaurants, working out, tennis, basketball, making a difference in people and the world, generosity, kindness, passion, substance over glam, quality over quantity, spontaneity, sweet gestures, unforgettable moments, ideas, inspiration, insightful conversations, collaborating, broadening my horizon, trying everything at least once, smiling, laughing, continuously learning, sharing, evolving, psychology, philosophy, research and analysis.
Friends old and new...bring on the good times! People who are open-minded, like-minded, goal oriented, motivated, cultivated, non-conforming, smart, funny, eccentric, innovative, respectful, honest, REAL, selfless, kind, muzik finatics, travelholics, natural born entrepreneurs, fun, full of energy and up for anything and everything. I'm drawn to the artistic...the worldly...those w/ creative juices flowing and a mind that never stops going. I especially love meeting ppl who are well rounded...with a "larger than life presence". Those who have too much life running through their veins...and oozing passion & positive energy from every which way. Ppl with substance...and no hidden agendas. Those who are all about "making things happen". The ones who are xtremely passionate about getting xactly what they want out of life. My fellow believers of endless possibilities & the skye is the limit...in life, love, career, and everything else in between.
Muzik is my first love. What I listen to is relative to my mood. I listen to a splash of mainstream stuff, but mostly am after anything not well known and not easily found. Anything and everything that stimulates the mind and awaken the senses. Especially the sort of stuff that can take me around the world in the span of a few minutes or transport me back in time. A wide selection from classical to opera to 80's to alternative to country to house/ambient/electronic. (Refer to my blog for a complete listing!)
The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, & Ultimatum. Troy. Good Will Hunting. Tristan & Isolde. The Notebook. The Shawshank Redemption. Pride & Prejudice. Great Expectations. Sliding Doors. The Green Mile. A Beautiful Mind. Gia. Seven. There's something about Mary. Etc, etc, etc! Anything that conveys strength and conviction, captures the human spirit, is an epic of love and war, a psychological thriller, ridiculously funny, kick-ass, brilliant, creative and original.
TLC/Travel/Discovery/Style channel. Forensic Files. Frasier.
Love to read...when I have the time, when I'm in the mood, or when I need to do research on certain topics in line with what's going on in my life. A great book can make a world of difference. There's always something new to be learned and an area in my life that could use some fine tuning.
My 91 year old grandmother living in Paris, France. She is the strongest person I know. Sacrifices immensely for her loved ones. She will fight to the end for what she believes in. I look up to her...adore her...and love her like no other.
