tantra, martial arts, fire performance, outdoor adrenaline athletics, fractal art, 3D graphics, constructed art, green building, kinoubi, the middle path (even if blazing it myself), Gettin' the TRUTH out there.
All the freaky and beautiful people out there that make this world so awesome... too many to list, and it seems I am constantly meeting folks that blow me away. I love you all.
Current TOP 40: FELLOW ARTISTS, FRIENDS, & FREEDOM FIGHTERS
SOUND CREATES:
celtic, tribal, goa, techno til I bleed from my skull, Ben Harper, RHCP, Rage, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, pretty much the Seattle grunge scene, Ulali, native flute music (anything indegenous and ancient, for that matter... didgeridoo rocks!), almost all the '80s Hair-Metal bands, some pop (I dig Pink, and for me, she falls into this category), Madonna, some (non gangsta') rap, especially PE or anyone with a positive message of social importance or truth (gotta help the bangers and blingers wake up), some country (especially old-school... Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash),Dixie Chicks (mostly for standing up to the Bush Regime), Ani DeFranco, acoustic pickin's by my talented friends while I percuss or sing along, I could type a list all night...I listen to almost everything... it matters so little unless you are inviting me to a show or buying me a CD.
Matrix trilogy, LotR trilogy, Star Wars... what is it now, a bi-trilogy? V for Vendetta, The Fountain, Pi, Jacob's Ladder, 300, Braveheart, The Patriot, Clearcut, Thunderheart, Rob Roy, Dances with Wolves, The Last of the Mohicans, What Dreams May Come, 12 Monkeys, Oceans 11, 12 and soon 13?? I love animated movies, Disney, Pixar, and pretty much anything that most kids love, and sometimes I even dig silly adult comedies.
I'm not much of a TV buff... If I was around a TV, I would probably watch Discovery channel or History channel. But, otherwise, you'd be surprised how much someone can accomplish in life when all those hours aren't given to the idiot box.
Tons... I'll post this list later...
Artists and visionaries, cultural evolutionaries... Anyone sustainably making the world more beautiful, fighting for freedom, raising consciousness, or loving to the max.
