I love learning about different cultures and trying new things. I'm always up for an adrenaline rush and in search of new ways to find one. I love whitewater rafting and rock climbing. I have been bungee jumping and skydiving and totally prefer skydiving. I can't wait to go shark diving. I am waiting to go to Africa or Australia for some clear warm water. I love fashion, music, and art. I also love to paint but hate to show people my paintings. I like to meet new people and learn about them. I tend to ask too many questions but I am just so damn curious... I think that once you are no longer interested in the world and the people in it you are dead, you just haven't lied down yet.

I know that it is so cliche to say that but I love everything. I can happliy listen to reggae, country, rap, rock, pop, folk, jazz, big band... I love it all.
Playing by Heart is my favorite. I love love love movies of all kinds. Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Gia, Life or Something Like it (notice a trend here?). Frank Miller's Sin City is awesome, all of his "graphic novels" are clever. I'm in love with Robert De Niro and have every one of his movies. I really love Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Once Upon a Time in America, Raging Bull, Casino (he is so great in this), Goodfellas, Analize This, Meet the Parents, A Bronx Tail (he is so multi-talented), Sleepers, so on and so on. The only DeNiro movie that I didn't love is Flawless, something about him playing a stroke victim taking singing lessons from a flamboyant gay character just doesn't do it for me. The Hunted, Scar Face, Before Sunrise, The Notebook, Beetlejuice, Edward Sissor Hands, Sleepy Hollow, I could just go on forever. The only thing is that I can't watch scary movies. It isn't that I don't like them or think that they are bad. I actually think that the craft involved in putting them together is amazing but I just don't have the nerves. I shreek and scream at the stupidest stuff. I almost had to walk out of King Kong... isn't that pathetic? I just can't handle it.
I am such a media junkie... I watch the news every night and become increasingly depressed while I pride myself on being "informed". Then I do the exact opposite and switch over to happy shiny people on MTV and indulge in mental numbness. My favorite silly show right now is Kathy Griffin: My life on the "D" List. I think she is so damn funny. I love the discovery channel, especially Shark Week even though sometimes it gets too scary. A&E, the History Channel, E!, Style, Travel, the Comedy Channel, the Food Network, any show where you can learn new things. I'm not really into sitcoms but I did love Sex & the City when it was on.
I haven't really read many books lately. It sounds soooo shallow but I am a magazine hoar. I am really in love with Zinc. Vogue of course, Allure, W, Western Interiors, Dwell, and Architectural Digest are my most frequent reads. The last book that I read was Freakonomics and it was pretty good. When I do pick up a book I prefer biographies.
Too many to name. Basically whenever I see any act of complete selflessness I am in awe. Anyone capable of that is my hero.
