MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING

I'm deeply devoted to learning more about coking, wines, gardening and being the best mom I can to my dogs (RIP, BG -- there will be another furry baby when the hole in my heart heals!!) I'm a big supporter of the Cervantes Institute, Deutsches Haus, American Civil Liberties Union, Audobon Society, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, National Gardening Society, Amnesty International, Oxfam, Planned Parenthood Federation, National Organization for Women, Smithsonian Society, Brooklyn Museum, National Resource Defense Council and Defenders of the Wildlife
LATINA PRIDE!!
TEXAS PRIDE!!!
NEW YORK CITY PRIDE!!
FIRST AND FOREMOST: PEOPLE WHO READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But I'd also like to meet folks who are spiritually aware, fully engaged, walking the talk in all aspects of their life . . . native Spanish or German speakers who'll suffer my sophomoric syntax in their language . . . nature lovers who prefer animals to humans . . . folk who share their knowledge and assist me in my quest to become more adept culinarily and more evolved in my appreciation of wines . . . yoga practitioners more concerned about prana than how their ass looks in their jeans . . . gardeners and small-scale farmers . . . US expats or Spaniards who can provide insight into the process of how I'm going to make this dream of relocating a reality . . . . JUST NORMAL, DECENT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTELLECTUALLY, POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY ALIVE!!!
While I can still generate passion for anything relative to classical music, I'm totally burned on out everything relative to metal -- after attending hundreds of shows annually for almost 30 years, I think anybody in their right mind would be!! Still, being a metal burn-out doesn't prevent me from talking copius quantities of shit about metal and myriad morons who play it at www.laplandmetal.com OR occasionally dragging my carcass out to a show to see my boyfriend's bands or catch up with old friends
DOCUMENTARIES AND FOREIGN FILMS, ONLY -- POR FAVOR!!!I use movies the same way I use books -- as a tool for understanding other people's realities. Pedro Almodóvar is my favorite director, followed closely by Alejandro González Iñárritu
DESTROY YOUR TV - IT *IS* ROTTING YOUR MIND!!!
