everything to do about music, except the money part. cooking, gardening, photography, meeting new people, movies, high-tech equipment, basketball, chess, futbol, reading, foriegn languages, and especially, travelling.
I'd like to meet:
other people who inspire me. artists of all types. people with drive, & those who can make me smile. =)
Music:
wayyyyyyyyyy to much to list here. but a very over-generalized idea of what my ears like to consume:Jazz, electronic, hip-hop.I'm always listening for that fresh beat, you know, the one that sends a shiver down your spine, and makes your body convulse. Something new, that you've never heard before, and you know it's good.In general, good music. Now some might say that music is a choice of opinion. I strongly disagree. There is good music, and there is bad music. Period. Originality is where it's at. Playing for yourself and not the masses. Music used to be about that. A lot of it still is. But back then, people would play, and the masses would pick it up if it was good. Nowadays, most music is formulated to appease the masses, (and their wallets) who are thoughtless and pay no attention to good music anymore. I'm here to try to change that.
Movies:
The same as music. key word = originality. Not hollywood garbage.
Television:
rots your brain. go read a book. and if you have a show you REALLY like. download it. c'mon, we're in the digital age. who needs commercials?
Books:
I could write a book on all the books i like. Some writers, just off the top of my head : Lao Tsu, D.T. Suzuki, Vonnegut, Twain, Salinger, Upski, Lasn, Hemingway, Chomsky, Moore, Huxley, Kalidas, Tulsidas, Murakami, Ryunosuke, Shikibu, and on and on and on......
Heroes:
not necessarily 'heroes' but those who have influenced and inspired me : my dad. bruce lee (off screen). Jiddu Krishnamurti, Sakamoto Ryoma, Einstein, Fela Kuti, Nelson Mandela, Thelonius Monk, and the list goes on.................
