I'm an artist through and through. All my interest have to do with artistry in some form. I love sneaking into movie theatres seeing two or three movies in one sitting, reflexology and massage therapy, singing when no one is around or in earshot to my knowledge anyway:), cooking(fried chicken is my speciality), reading anything from biographies, famous&unknown or forgotten poets and philosophers. Spending ungodly amounts of hours debating and enjoying friends' company, doing absolutely nothing and reflecting on my experiences and unexpected encounters and lessons learned along the way.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone that has a story i want to meet, which in fact is every man. No man is insignificant. It's the unsung heroes, the everyday common man that interest me. There is where beauty, reality, and art collide. The underdog that society has cast out of it's midst is a definite interest. I enjoy meeting and finding value in things and people that on the average go unnoticed. Celebrities, i got a few i would love to meet, but ultimately the best meetings are the unpredictable and unplanned kind. There is beauty in the unknown, life's mysteries can be captavating, you just have to have the balls to look and meet it straight on is all. That's the reward for living.
Music:
I'm a mood music kind of person. My taste is so varied and seasonal that it is impossible to list all of my musical taste. Let's put it this way, i have over 400 CDs and counting. I will tell you this though, i love stumbling upon old and undiscovered talent. Jonatha Brookes is my all time favorite discovery and Nina Simone is timeless. Alright, i'm gonna stop there cause i can go on and on. I love music as much as i love art, they are one in the same. I can't draw without it!
Movies:
Too many to even try to list. Depends on my mood again. What i thought was the ultimate movie falls short from the next best thing. Like life, my favorite movie changes and evolves.
Television:
Cold Case,CSI,Grey's Anatomy, SuperNatural, Smallville, ER, America's Next top Model, Oprah Winfrey Show,Fear Factor and sorry for the cheese factor but (American Idol) it appeals to my inner singer that comes barreling out in the shower to my neighbors' horror:) Judging Amy(R.I.P)So you Think You Can Dance, I'm gonna stop now cause all my guilty pleasures are falling out of the TV closet.

Heroes:
I don't believe in heroes, it gives people a false sense of security. Making a human being your foundation is a dangerous and often, more than not, a disappointing experience. Humanity is a fragile foundation, one must be their own hero in life or run the risk of having false expections and delusions.
