About Me

once I went to meet the hugging saint
and with a chocolate kiss she said
the only demons that exist
are the egos within each of us

I do enjoy reading the nice messages I sometimes get from people I don't know and I try to write back BUT I don't enjoy getting friend requests from people who I don't know/have never introduced themselves/are trying to be mysterious. I don't add people I don't know, sorry :)

Music:

I listen to everything but LYRICS are important to me (yes country :) I especially like jambands, trance, world music from turkish techno to russian rap to dancehall, I like things a little different as much as I like things that I've heard a hundred times...and I LOVE violins in anything...anything from radiohead, toubab krewe, notwist, jimmy eat world....I wish I understood more languages just for their music!

Movies:

blood diamond, departed, alice in wonderland, gone with the wind, mulan, gidget, as good as it gets, the shining, full metal jacket, the usual suspects, my best friend's wedding, old cheesy 80s movies, breakfast at tiffany's

Television:

the family guy, that 70s show, till death, the daily show, supernanny, scrubbs, will and grace

Books:

siddhartha is my favorite...blandings castle, the bluest eye, anthem, a rocket in my pocket, Holy Writ as Oral Lit: The Bible as Folklore, 1984, the song of the bird, i'm all over the place when it comes to books

Heroes:

nelson mandela's the man
