sky diving, repelling, rock climbing, teaching. filmmaking, lighting design, directing, gardening, yoga, alexander techniuqe, voice and movement work, tennis (damn i haven't played in a long time), movies, parks.......................................................
......................I think most people need to show more respect for the invisible world, because often what you don't see is what you get. Just look at odorless gas. Well, that is if you could look at odorless gas. It's invisible, yet it has the power to change your life... i.e. kill you. And look at television: It's merely a box with wires. Yet when invisible energy passes through it, it too has the power to change your life... i.e kill your taste. And look at harmonic resonance. On any two guitars, pluck an 'E' string. It will resonate on the other. Harmonic resonance works with people, too. When you speak openly from your heart, the hearts of others seem to open. This is because you are helping the people around you to vibrate at a similar harmonic level. In the same way the invisible germs of a cold can be contagious, or the invisible oxygen dynamics of a yawn can be contagious, the invisible energy of thoughts are contagious. so, resonate.
I'd like to meet:
RICHARD SIMMONS (i think he may be the funniest thing on the planet). Julie Taymor, Oprah, Patrick Wilson. Johnny Depp. oh, and Al Gore.
Music:
People always say that they like all music. You've heard them... Someone asks, "What kind of music do you like?" and the response is, "Oh I like everything." Well, not me. Or, rather, not THEM. None of those fruitcakes REALLY like all music. 'cause anyone who makes this type of statement is actually admitting that they simply have not been exposed to very much........................................................
.........I do, although, really appreciate A LOT of different styles of music. There's a time and place for [just about] everything..................................................
...........................................................I
'm a musician at heart. So if someone is playing or singing something really difficult, and they're great, then I'm probably gonna like it--- no matter what style it is..........................................................
................................... Techno/House is a good thing, just about any time, and a little alternative rock feels good. Ella Fitsgerald, and the like, make me feel lovely inside. I have a huge appreciation for classical music (whatever THAT means). I've even heard a few country songs that I didn't mind.
Movies:
My favoite movie is "MEMENTO." I like stories where time is not constant. I'm currently a little obsessed with Tony Kushner's "ANGELS IN AMERICA" parts I & II. There's a small film, "Closer" that I really like, too (Julie Roberts, Clive Owen, Jude Law, & Natalie Portman). I'm always a sucker for a romantic comedy. "AMERICAN BEAUTY," "ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND," "MAGNOLIA," "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL," "ADAPTATION," "CRASH," "BILLY MADISON," "40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN,"
Television:
The Family Guy, Grey's Anatomy,
Books:
Fastfood Nation. Boys Like Us. 501 Great Things About Being Gay [such as: you can tell a woman she's got lipstick on her teeth w/o embarrassing her. AND unlike most straight guys, you've practiced your kegel exercises (even if you never knew it). you know never to disturb an artist- especially if he's cuting your hair. AND you believe inanimate objects can actually have souls-- wigs, for example.
