Traveling. Always escaping to some beach, river's edge. Love to be near the water, in the water. An excellent movie buddy, skilled in cuddling up and vegging out. Fun work-outs such as rollerblading, sandsurfing, dance, volleyball, tennis, taebo. Chess and dominoes for the mental. Cooking and GOOD FOOD: Jamaican of course, Thai, Malaysian, Japanese, anything spicy and flavorful, Dream Analysis. Astrology. Writing. Oils & Massage. Candles. Long showers/baths. Salsa lessons anyone? Photography. Wanderlust. Hat collecting. Chillin in my garden, outdoor movies, impromptu BBQs, bubbles. Watching/helping things and people grow. Planning cultural events in NYC ...
creative people ... a MENTOR ... persons who can teach me new things, inspire me to do more ...kindred spirits ... owls and dolphins ... Bob Marley ... revolutionary thinkers, old people, drag queens and kings, eyeopeners, film buffs, beach bunnies, explorers, trendsetters, bowcats, well-mannered peoples, artists/dancers/musicians, legal eagles, movers & shakers ... some intriguing famous people ... Pedro Almodovar ... M.I.A. ... Omar Shariff ... Anais Nin ... Sandro Botticelli ... Salvador Dali ... Vincent Van Gogh ... whatever it is, whoever it is, it is experiences I crave. C'mon people, where you at? I respond to many different types of people and secretly want to be surprised in new relationships. Best way to get at me - interest me with something new, to me at least. A few healthy qualities would be an open and educated mind, a genuine heart, a penchant for adventure, a generous nature and a desire for further diversity in your own lives. So "If your word is your bond and your loyalty expands ... If your tongue leaves no marks and aggression follows your demands ... If you love your mother and respect her as much ... If you consume more than you can touch ... I take it then you must know my value, and if that is true ... I would be blessed to be acquainted with you." I am not looking for any great romance ... what I want to find here are great connections with great people ... what I'd really like is people who I can just "be real with" and "really be with", even if it's just hanging out.

Music is grand. Listening a pleasure. Genres: Reggae everyday! Also seem to be turning into a House head thanks to Rhina and the folks at the Melting Pot NYC (www.themeltingpotnyc.com). Lately I am feeling the sounds of Notch, M.I.A., Daft Punk, Phoenix and Tortured Soul. Roots & Cutlure, Dancehall, Calypso, Soca, Hip-Hop, Some Rap, R&B, UK Garage/Trance, Bhangra, Jungle, Some Alternative Rock, Bachata, Merengue, Salsa, Zouk, Neo-Soul, anything that touches me or reminds me of a special moment, like that scene in "Hackers", Angelina Jolie/Massive Attack "you can't change the way she feels but you can put your arms around her", and Bjork's "Joga" ... which I first heard around the time of G-ma's death, I played it over and over ... and "it pushed me up to this state of emergency". I think this is why I love soundtracks and live concerts.

HBO, Showtime, The L-Word, Queer as Folk, Noah's Arc, Big Love, HGTV, the FoodNetwork. I hardly watch TV anymore. Too many lies. Too much junk. Too many copycats. Too much reality. "The American media produce a product of very poor quality. Its information is not reliable, it has too much chrome and glitz; its doors rattle; it breaks down almost immediately and is sold without warranty. It's flash, but it's basically junk" ~ Michael Crichton (1996). Be aware ... go out there and educate yourselves ...

The strong women who raised me for their example, Bob Marley for his message, my parents for their support and sacrifice, my sister for her talent and total lack of prejudice, and my Aunt who laughed in the face of death for her courage.
