Well - This could well be a long one. Lets try n keep it brief! - Ok..... Let start off with my favourite - Sleep (when insomnia permits) daydreams, music (Marx got it wrong, this is in fact the true opiate of the masses) food (I am a fat girl waiting to come out! People watching, nuances of humanity, confident men in well fitting suits (if you add a great hat to that as well then i'm yours), clouds, laughing, high heels, kickboxing, power naps, activity, variety (....is the spice of life) sunsets, sunrise, paradox of life, being naked...
Like minded creative souls; people with passion and drive, and those oxymoronic peops who realise the contradictory nature of life.... Debaters, haters, givers and takers. (Black) Artists/creatives, understanding and empathy, Great UK acts/artists whom I have yet to meet - Hell!!! - Lets extend that last one to artists worldwide! Equilibrium, honesty and my Ancestors.http://www.youtube.com/img/EmbeddablePlayer.gif.. width="375" height="300" .... width="375" height="300" .... width="375" height="300" ..
Um, ok - In no particular order - Loads of the UK hip hop acts I have produced/worked with (call me biased) - Sway, Bigz, Pirelli (6002) 'dem man'! Kano, Klash, Floetry (shit, have they really broken up? And um, Kelis, Erykah Badu, Bloc Party, D'angelo, Jill Scott (absolutely love, love, love) Lenny Kravitz, Raphael Saddiq, Q-Tip, Pharrell, OutKast, Dead Prez, Jamiroquai, Common, Maroon 5, Musiq SoulChild, Alisha Keys, Aaliyah, Kanye West, Jaheim,.. width="375" height="300" .... width="375" height="300" ..
City of God, Eves Bayou, Original Kings of Comedy, House of Flying Daggers, Saw 1&2 (Can't belive how well the 1st was done on the meagre budet) Colour Purple, Enternal Sunshine of a spotless mind, La Haine, Reservoir Digs, Clockers, Sin City, Green Mile, Six degrees of Separation... Spike Lee, M. Nite Shyamalan.
...Oh, i know I shouldn't be so naughty! - But CSI (all) Law and Order, 24, some reality tv (have to admit it, - helps me to see that I am on track and should be thankful for absolutely everything I have) Lost, ER. Sopranos, the wire, my wife and kids, that new thing on BBC3 (Little Miss Joyselyn)... The rest I am too ashamed to admit (:
It's really random actually - I used to be a mad avid reader - The type of kid who wouldn't go out on the weekend and would stay in a read a book. - That desire was totally irradicated by the institution of university - But the following are cool - To kill a mockingbird, the Hobbit; scratch that anything by Tolkein (f**k Harry Potter) bell hooks, Maya Angelou, Michael Moore, Stuart Hall, Kobena Mercer. He's not that into you (Girls, run out a buy it - Saved me a lot of hassle- Basically if he needs direction/coaching/excuses made for his behaviour from you then he aint that into ya - Drop him and take a wonder/cold shower)
Really clichéd - But... My Mummy!- The hidden spoilt brat of a child who fuels this dynamicism (If caught unawares you may even get a stomp or some form of tantrum out of her)-My gut instinct (Or was that a hunger pain?) (:
