Getting sweaty. I am a Bikram Yoga instructor and dedicated practitioner. Teaching my tom cat, Moxie, manners. Metaphysical studies. Analyzing America's spiraling downfall. International issues. Dancing (in a studio, not on a pole), although I have been known to bust a move on the diva boxes in da club. Not becoming my mother. Adorning my body. Watching how the universe provides. Thermonuclear physics. Parking my fat ass on a beach - either the one down the lane or the one that requires a plane. Contemplating my navel. Waging war on body hair. Peacemongering.
Chicks that say pussy without hesitation. Grown ups that haven't lost their sense of wonder. Urban mystics. People that know the difference between naked and necked. Anyone that owns a set of Bubba Teeth. Performers that rock out with their cocks out. Those that dare to be different. The few that give the middle finger to conformity and choose to follow their bliss instead. Tattooed corporate whores. Dreamers that produce. Lovers that know what they want. Fighters that understand that obstacles are stepping stones. Subversives. Goofballs with twisted senses of humor. Lloyd Dobler.

I was country when country was uncool. Dolly Parton is a sequined god in my eyes. I have sprained something important singing along with Gretchen Wilson AND The Dixie Chicks. The sound of Johnny Cash's voice makes me stop dead in my tracks. Patsy Cline makes me swoon. I dig songs that pinch my soul and/or make me laugh and have found that country music does both best. I like world music in the bedroom and jump around to Janis when I clean the house. Jams with a hook that could land a marlin make me dance while I drive. Classic rock is my default setting. Showtunes result in instant jazz hands. I rock out to old disco and vintage Billy Joel and throw my head back to sing Etta James. I believe that Harry Chapin was the greatest storyteller to ever walk this Earth and that John Denver is greatly underappreciated.
All things reality.
Single moms. Gay dads. Judge Judy. Miss Kitty. Bettie Page. Marlena Dietrich. Straight-talkin son of a guns. Scientists that use their knowledge for good.
