94ROCK. Being a LEO! Sun, rocks, hiking, running, bouldering, water sports, healthy food, travelling everywhere I can, wasting valuable time with the hippies and friends, tertiary colors, skiing, ancient civilizations, nostalgia, sentiment, KU Jayhawks, history, looking at gorgeous stuff and people (young and old), live music, pondering origins, duality, confusion, clarity, persuasion, criticizing politics, criticizing everything, fire, vanity, fingery vines, talking and being talked to, drawing, sculpture, creating, controversy, big cats, and lounging in the sun with the smell of cocoa butter. Rugby. My gorgeous baby dogs. Shoes. Did I say shoes? Beach. Avocado. Il Capricho tequila. Fashion. Ghosts. Tornadoes. Roberto Cavalli. UFC. Dictionaries. Sand. Metal. Kind. Gaultier. Christmas. Vivienne Westwood. Bosch. Dali. Escher. I'm intrigued by people that everyone else hates, (like Rasputin and Lucrezia Borgia....and make no mistake, and Carrot Top too. Here's a weirder one: I'm obsessed with how people from all parts of the world look and why, and what they think. Sometimes I feel like I'm running out of time to get all the answers. I love seeing families and how they resemble and love or hate each other. A sociologist/anthropologist at heart, I guess. I waste a lot of time looking up answers for everything online, like how the Chinese invented ice cream. My secret shame is watching the Young and the Restless and my real secret shame is a secret, for now.Actors, performers, politicos and cool people I love or look up to, in no specific order: Sofia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, Christian Bale, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera,Jerry Spence, Elizabeth Kucinich, Tommy Chong, Adrien Brody, Paul Newman, Oprah,Edie Falco,Quentin Tarantino,Queen Noor,Lisa Ling,Ben Kingsley,Daniel Day Lewis, Warhol, Dali, David Welker, Charles Frazier, Georges St. Pierre,Toni Morrison, Charles Bukowski, Amy Sedaris, David Sedaris, Mike Gordon, Robert Altman, William Shatner, Conan O'Brien, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Izzard, Roberto Cavalli,Juliette Lewis,Hugh Jackman, Coco Chanel, Helen Mirren, Ray Stevenson, and many more.
