cut your mullet

I'd like to meet:

people with integrity, humor and inquisitiveness. and most importantly, people that embrace the idea of kicking ass in this world.

Music:

Hm, I read there is everything you need to know about a person if you look at what is stored in their iPod. I suspect this information is somewhat intimate...

My favs truly run the gamut: Missy Elliott, Queen L, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Stereo Total, Freezepop, Ladytron, violinist Hillary Hahn or latin music: Juanes, Carlos Vives, Celia Cruz, Ibrahim Ferrer, Orishas, just to name a few. Also in my CD carousel you would find music like Le Tigre, Stereolab, The Fingers and Eho Falls (my brother-in-law's bands. He also produced music for Pixar and one of his songs was aired on "notes from the underbelly" on abc!...check em' out www.myspace.com/echofalls), Cecelia Bartoli, Getz, Gilberto (Astrud, Bebel and Joao - all great Brazilian artists), Black Eyed Peas (gotta support the only Filipino on the radio!), etc.

Movies:

I joined Netflix and now find myself addicted - I can tell I need to mix it up a bit when I get excited to see the little red envelopes in my mailbox.

Television:

OK, so I secretly turn on the TV to watch Project Runway. What!?! Don't judge...
