I'd like to meet:

You?

"I'm just tryin' to find me
A pretty smile that I can get into
It's true, I'm lost without you"

Other than a soul mate, I'd like to meet other people, too. Providing, of course that they would be interested in meeting me and aren't manipulative jerk-wads.

Current Favorites From Girls Rock Radio:
Here's my current Favorite Girls Rock Radio additions (in no particular order):
1. Ballerinas - My new FAVORITE band!!
2. Gabby Villanueva - Donde Iran
3. Salme Dahlstrom - Superstar Car Crash

Choosing music for GRR is one of the most awesome things I get to do. Just thought I'd share a little glimpse into that process. For me, it starts with the music itself. Often a song gets on the air simply because the music is just right and the production is sweet. But it's also the vocal blend into the music itself. The harmony has to really feel right to me. Lastly, the lyrics may have something to do with the selection. As long as it's not politically or socially motivated, I'm good with it and that is just something that I can figure out without really getting hardly any meaning out of the lyrics - yet. And by the way, I love all music, but the format for GRR does not permit me to add just everything. Often, I find that the lyrics catch up to me later even after the song is already on the air. It can be uncanny, though, how I'll listen to a new addition to the play list and realize just how the lyrics *do* speak to me. Other times, the lyrics, although awesome, just don't really apply to my situation. Seems most of my current favorites do strike a chord (lol) with me.

Musical Interests:

Internet Radio has both expanded my exposure to great new music and re-awakened my love for music. I hate corporate terrestrial radio. It sickens me how unimaginative and bland the playlists are. Often, an artist's worst track is the one chosen to represent them on the air waves. Internet radio, by contrast, seeks many of the deeper, more meaningful cuts, highlights under-exposed artists, or brings back the great music that only grazed the charts briefly, but were brilliant just the same and usually more deserving than the crap that is continually trolled on the "classic" stations. How much can you take all those stylus-worn tracks from Led Zeplin, Def Leppard, ZZTop, etc. Hey they're good bands, but come on...

Movies:

Current Fav:
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Brilliantly funny! Most laughs I've had at the movies in a while. Hawaii is a really awesome backdrop for this get-away flick, too. Most surprising to me, though, is that I would find myself opposing a long standing crush, Kristen Bell (Sarah Marshall,) but Mila Kunis' character was just way to compelling. Mila has such a soft beauty with just a hint of the exotic, and this made her a perfect fit for the sassy, and somewhat unpredictable Rachel Jansen. Aside from seeing way too much (lol!) of Jason Segel (Peter Bretter,) I felt he was well cast in the leading male role. He kind of gives me a rather stout Sylvester Stallone vibe which seemed weird, but didn't kill anything for me.

Some All-Time Favorites:
Coyote Ugly
High Fidelity
Stranger Than Fiction
She's All That
Little Black Book
Angel Eyes
Pleasantville

Television:

..Not sure if this is "must see" order, or if it's even in the right ranking order. Still, these are the shows I look forward to seeing. Luckily, the TiVo lets me watch on my schedule, not the network's.
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Battlestar Galactica (waiting on the new season...)
3. Dirty Sexy Money
4. Lost - OMG! Coolest season ever! (am I *your* constant?)
5. Desperate Housewives
6. Flash Gordon
7. South of Nowhere
8. Chuck (okay, this one's kind of embarrassing, lol)
9. Bionic Woman
10. Life
11. Las Vegas
12. Gossip Girl
13. Heroes

Okay, looking at this list, I think I'm watching way too much television. :/

Books:

The Rich Dad Poor Dad series. The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. How to Win Friends and Influence People. Think and Grow Rich. I think the last fiction hI read was Contact by Carl Sagan. I started to read Sphere on a plane over the Atlantic on the way to Germany, but didn't get too far into it - plus I realized I'd seen the movie, lol. Wish I had more time for recreational reading...

Heroes:

Jim Rohn ( Jim Rohn ) Robert Kiyosaki ( Rich Dad Poor Dad ) Jeff Olson ( The Slight Edge ) The guy who, when I was 18 and a few months away from entering the Air Force, told my mom, "You leave him alone! He's climbing out of his skin right about now!" The ensuing freedom made for a pretty amazing summer before the world got all in my face...
