Talk green to me

About Me

Things recently making me happy: flip flop tans lines once again on my feet, my new subscription to The Economist, goat cheese, licking Dean's calves, stealing witty lines from my friends, my compost bucket, my bird asking me "Watcha doing?", the clip on I-Pod Shuffle, painting my apartment crazy colors, the squishy French Bulldog on my block, curly-haired men, Whole Foods salad bar.________________________________________________________ ___ Things I'm down on: Starbucks, fruit flies, people pushing the button on Muni that says "push when lit" even though it's not lit, my alarm clock, arrogance, carbon dioxide, the word strategic- especially when followed by the word goals, plastic bags AND water bottles, flaky friends and shin splints.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars" -Jack Kerouac_____________________________________________________ ______ My brother and I were stylin' from the beginning

Music:

The usual. With a lot of indie rock and a little classical, country, hip hop, instrumental and house thrown in to keep things interesting.

Movies:

Garden State, Big, Love Actually, Hotel Rwanda, Pretty Woman, Little Miss Sunshine, Beaches, Amelie, The Great Escape, Citizen Cane, Hunt for Red October,An Inconvenient Truth, Whale Rider

Television:

Nip Tuck, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Jeopardy, House... Turning off my TV and reading!

Books:

The Kite Runner! Running with Scissors,A Long Way Down, A Million Pieces, My Friend Leonard, Omnivores Dilemma,Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Poisonwood Bible, Eat-Pray-Love, John Grisham, Cowboys are my Weakness, Secret life of Bees, Life of Pi, Rain of Gold, Sea Glass, Fast Food Nation, Lovely Bones, My Sisters Keeper, Molokai, I am always reading at least one book and rarely read a book I don't like.

I wonder how much of my life I waste looking for a parking spot?

I bet it's a lot.

Alice Walker is wise

"It has become a common feeling, as we have watched our heroes falling over the years, that our own small stone of activism, which might not seem to measure up to the rugged boulders of heroism ...
