For all tha HATERS..This is what it be...what nowAnything that has a positive vibe to it.Semillas del pueblo... Art, Forklorico, making jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, reading, dancing, poetry, graffiti, relaxing, sleeping, juices, tofu, pirateria rules, strawberry juice farts, baby vomit, running, hiking, being inlove, playing with my monkeys, yerba buena, the feeling of being connected, Life, mother earth, the ocean, Mexico, breathing clean air (none of that left in L.A.), being at peace, movement, happiness, thinking, learning, balance, family, all the good stuff.
