My cats (Buddha and Chopstix) and all animals in general. My IPOD, working it out on the dancefloor, and the old school SF party scene. Keeping fit & healthy, learning new things and stimulating my mind. Meeting new people, enjoying good food and company, having new experiences and traveling. Camping, bbq's, shopping, arts and crafts, bowling, snowboarding, boating and billiards. Spending time with family & friends. Trying to be more mindful of what my purpose is, and to consciously make an effort to be a better person every day.
People that are down with working hard and playing harder. I respect people that try to make a good, honest living. But, we also have to enjoy life while we live it, or else what's the point..right? It ain't all about the 9 to 5. Connecting with old friends, and possibly meeting a few new ones would be cool too. Good people only need apply.
I like EVERYTHING really. I'm a hip hop junkie and a house head. I'm also a dancing queen, so house music holds a special place in my heart (RIP Home Base..need I say more). I love this quote from Malachy, a pioneer in the SF nightlife scene: "When used with positive intention, Group energy has the potential to restore the plan of Love in Earth. When you open your heart and trust the whole group you dance with; when you feel love with everyone, and they return it, a higher vibration can be reached. This happens when a crowd is deep into the vibe of house." What an amazing thing to read, read it one more time...just to get the full understanding. I also listen to mainstream Top 40, reggae, dance hall, breaks, drum n' bass, 90's,80's, 70's, 60's and 50's. All kinds of rock-alternative, punk, ska, rockabilly, metal, classic and emo. I like R&B and motown, soul, jazz and blues as well. Not too big on country songs. I really enjoy going to shows & concerts. Local bands or big names, it's all gravy.
Clueless, Good Will Hunting, Chasing Amy, Princess Diaries, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Jersey Girl, A League of Their Own, Wedding Planner, Blade, Miss Congeniality, Lucas, Mulan, Long Kiss Goodnight, Joy Luck Club, Dragon (the Bruce Lee Story), The Notebook, Shawshank Redemption, Dumb and Dumber, Legend of Drunken Master, Rat Race, Lost Boys, Italian Job, Ace Ventura, Office Space, Count of Monte Cristo, Braveheart, Gladiator, Big Trouble in Little China, Pretty in Pink, Grumpier Old Men, Can't Buy Me Love, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, Sixteen Candles, Last Samurai, and Dirty Dancing.
Nip/Tuck, America's Next Top Model, The Office, Sex in the City, American Idol, CSI, Intervention and Surreal Life. Some classics are Fresh Prince, Roseanne, and Golden Girls. Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central are great too. VHI and MTV are ok when I feel like being brainless.
I don't really have a favorite. Language, science, health, travel, decorating, business, fashion, motivational, finance, history, children's stories, novels, and fun, light-hearted stories usually interests me.
I find many people noble and good. People I know, and people I don't know. Everyone has a certain quality in them that makes them unique and special. But, I really admire my close friends and family for the strength and courage they demonstrate in their own lives everyday.
