WRITING!!! Check out my work at www.justkari.blogspot.com.. I also love Surfing, listening to new music, hiking, traveling (when I can), Wedding planning, anything to do with the beach, and hanging out with good people, Watching great films, reading fiction, laughing at life's crappy surprises, smiling at life's good surprises, eating great meals, taking great pictures, developing NEW interests.
Interesting people who have something real to say. I just want to talk to fun-loving people who also carry some depth and intellect, I definitely am not interested in those who say "you are hotter than two squirrells fucking in a wool sock,"...you know who you are!! ;border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"
Aw man, where do I start? Well, gotta give props to 80's music- all of it!..the punk rock, the big hair rock, the poppy stuff, and the classic love ballads. I love a million different fusions of good old Rock music, some house, jazz, and alternative. I like some country, bluegrass, some underground hip hop, and sorry fans, but I don't have much love for 'the rap music' in my life. Some of my favorites include The Postal Service, The Strokes, Travis, Frou Frou,Death Cab for Cutie, Bonnie Raitt, Hellogoodbye, Carla Bruni, Tom Petty, Sigur Ros, Stars, The New Pornographers, Annie, ACDC, Boston, Matt Costa, ALO, other hippie-folk music, Steel Pulse, James Taylor, Joni Mitchel- I'm all over the place....
Too tough to put any movies as my favorite, but I will give you a little list and let you decide what kind of wierd twisted person I am! Starting with Garden State, Napolean Dynamite, Secretary (awesome), Some older all-time favorites include: Night at the Roxburry (yeah Erica!), High Fidelity, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Office Space, Love Actually, Rocky- all of them!, Clueless, Pulp Fiction, Like Water for Chocolate, LA Story, Reality Bites, When Harry Met Sally, Dead Man Walking, Bend it like Beckham, Shopgirl DEFINITELY Kill Bill volume 1 &2, Moonstruck, Singles, and my all time favorite right now, Stranger Than Fiction... ahhhhhhh can't go on, too many!
Sex in the City, the great Seinfeld (genius), The Cosby show, & Roseanne. I LOVE and am obsessed Lost, Scrubs and Arrested Development. I like Bravo reality shows for some reason, especially Top Chef and Project Runway. Last but not least, I believe the best TV ever made falls under the name of 'Felicity'.. that's my girl.
Oh Man, what the hell would I do without fiction? Here are some favorites; The Miracle of mindfulness, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Secret Life of Bees, Autobiography of Vivian, The World According to Garp, One flew over the Cukoo's Nest; The Kite Runner; Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Marquez); The God of Small Things, The Memory Keeper's Daughter... just to name a few..
I think heroes are really people who characteristically save people from themselves, therefore my heroes are my friends and family because they never give up on me and that is very admirable. Right now, my heroes are also all the soldiers in Iraq, especially those who feel like they shouldn't be there, but keep their heads up everyday, MAN, they are AMAZING. Also, anyone who proactively seeks peace and the greater good for mankind and anyone who is working to get Bush out of office are definitely heroes of mine. Oh! Also my fat-ass cat... She bites me in the face, but I LOVE her!
