dancing
singing
making art
good company
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'
- Jack Kerouac
the soundtrack to my life consists of yann tiersen, latin dance, west african, folk and bollywood beats with a pinch of blues, boom-beems, the oldies, and will's kora.. all of this with a sprinkle of the coup, a bit of fiona, some jazzy funk, a lot of ani, booty-shakin' hip hop, sufjan, geri halliwell (viva la spice girls!), and some gypsy punk mu-sak.
children's books, eduardo galeano, arundhati roy, popular education/radical literature.
inventors, music-makers, artists, southern grassroots organizers and platonic lovers everywhere
