My Interests

Music:

PUNK. Asian massive.

Movies:

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice



A music video by Fatboy Slim featuring Christopher Walken dancing around a hotel. I love this video.

Ultimo Video de Brad Will



Este es el último video de Brad Will, reportero de Indymedia, en Oaxaca. El video termina justo después de que fuera asesinado por asesinos de Ulises Ruiz. El gobierno PANISTA de Vicente Fox y el propio Felipe Calderón son responsables de esta muerte, ya que ellos avalaron el uso de la violencia por los sicarios priistas de Ulises Ruiz.

Television:

I love Monk because I learn so much about me.

Books:

Currently reading "Women Who Run with Wolves" by Estes

Heroes:

Current hero is Cindy Sheehan, Diane Wilson and Code Pink.
