What a long strange trip it's been.....

About Me

My passion is taking care of my mother (earth), being the best global citizen that I can be...hugging trees. :-) Tho' I was a young republican in college, peeps change. Or, at least this peep did. '-P I'm happy to say I'm a frustrated Green Party/Libertarian, now. :-DHit me up if you like to talk about the meaning of life, what's new in nanotechnology, the hottest scientific discoveries, nature v. nurture, or the latest front page news....I'm an information junkie....It beats my other addictions. I'm a lover of nature's bounty...especially the finest herbs....For me it's a form of meditation. Aaah!

My Interests

Very few things I am not interested in...Not interested in porn...I'd rather be an active, than a passive participant. ;-) Anything and everything else fascinates me...scientific, social issues, political activist and all around Austin Nature Lover. :)

I'd like to meet:

People with a sense of humour, first and foremost. Compassion and respect for others is also a requirement. I find that if a person has these qualities naturally, they can nearly always be counted on to have a good heart.And on the shallow side......LOL I have my flaws as a human. I'm partial to tall guys. Preferrably over 6'0". It's just a personal thing....like some men prefer blondes. :-)

Music:

I listen to....Beck, Black-eyed pea, butthole surfers, burden brothers, cake, chemical brothers, clash, cowboy junkies, cranberries, crosby, stills & nash, cypress hill, dynamite hack, dido, eminem, elton john, eric clapton, evanescence, gypsy kings, grateful dead, Godsmack, Indigo Girls, Kottonmouth Kings, P.O.D., Linkin Park, Low Fidelity All-stars, moody blues, rage against the machine, rem, santana, supertramp, ten years after, u2....and of COURSE Willie.To name a few. :-)...And I NEED suggestions...based on what I have, what would you suggest? See www.musicplasma.com for other great ideas.

Movies:

CNNNN On The Streets Of America



After a silly "mock" football game...CNNNN reporter asks questions to the american public about the very country they run (skip first 30 seconds).It is so rude, how Americans are dogged by other countries for our ignorance...then again, it's hard to refute this kind of evidence.C'mon peeps....Read a book! Watch the news...LEARN something!!

The MJ Files



LEGALIZE IT!!!A short stop-motion animation which addresses the issue of marijuana and hemp legalization in the US. Subjects include Anslinger, industrial hemp, hemp products, medical marijuana, and marijuana history and legalization. My favorites....Office Space, Life of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Being There, Harold and Maude, Giant, Gone With the Wind, Repo Man, Reservoir Dogs....

Television:

This year I'm enjoying the Amazing Race. Loved the show, "Arrested Development." Bring it BACK!! Only one guilty pleasure show I can think of...Desperate Housewives. Other than that, I'll watch most shows about forensics, or science....Nova, Scientific American Frontiers, NSF....etc etc....

Books:

Favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces, Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, The Source, by James Michener On the Road, Jack Kerouac Storming Heaven, Jay Stevens Anything by Amy Tan. Armisted Maupin......

Heroes:

Eleanor Roosevelt, Willie Nelson,Oprah :), JFK, my mom and my stepD...Anyone who shares their time with someone less fortunate than them self. I'm all for that.
