Fashion, traveling, reading, music, cinema, human behavior, interesting biography shows, politics, learning new things-
Andre Benjamin (I love what I imagine his mind to be) Oprah (faints at the thought) John Galliano (will be secretly wearing mini camera to replay the meeting if it ever happens) Quentin Tarrantino (but only in broad daylight with lots of people around as I'm entralled with him, but slighty alarmed by his erratic behavior)
Hip hop (NOT LIL JON-- they have to have a logical point or I can't listen)-- Love-- Outkast, Jay Z, Lil Wayne (I know I know but he's kinda clever), TI (try to overlook his cockiness--he's super poetic-Joi (she had me at "copycat copycat -- get yo' own shit b@tch!!") Jazz ( I can't go a day without my Nina S.!!--she was so gangsta!!)-- Everything else is random--John Mayer- Bob Marley- Erkah Badu -- Jill Scott--Portishead--Skunkanansie--Tori Amos-- Gwen Stefani--Kelis--Phil Collins---Dave Matthews-- - Coldplay-- etc..-- I like it all....but at the end of the day, I always take it back to Biggie--or Kilo (depends on what I had for dinner).
Drama--Romance-- I don't really do comedy unless it's romantic comedy. I REFUSE to watch any horror or sci fi. I love sappy "man vs himself" flicks--I'm crying like a fool if I think the underdog will know his worth by the end of the film. Favorite movie??....humm-- I can watch the 5 Heartbeats, Tombstone, Love Jones or Wuthering Heights anytime day or night.
I'm a reality lover. I know I know--- everybody has a downside right? :)
Autobiographies get it for me. I can get all in someone's business!! I really dig non fiction but I can roll with some dramatic fiction--no inspirational crap though. Favorite books---The Prisioners Wife (Asha Bandele--totally changed my perspective on the way I view others)--Assata (If I ever get the guts to be detained in a foreign country again, I'm going to Cuba to hear this sister's lecture)--Notes from the Underground Man (Fydor Dostoyevsky) I feel the same way after being stuck in the south too long.--
This list goes on and on--So I'll just say anyone who gives it all for something they believe in. That's an ultimate hero for me.
