I love literature, life, the sun, summer, cold beer, Spanish brandy, cats, dogs, bullfighting, truth, debate, pool, atlas-perusing etc etc
People who challenge me, who make me think, people interested in the arts, in music, in creation. Who realise that we create our own reality, and that we are the only ones responsible for the way things are in our lives. Who understand that truth is the only way to make sure everyone knows what's going on.And other people who'll make me think or laugh or cry (for the right reasons..!)
Enrique Morente, Estrella Morente... Big fan of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, David Bowie - but can also handle Cyndi Lauper, Annie Lennox, Billie Holiday, Devendra Banhart, Joni Mitchell and many others in any order that suits my mood.

Try to avoid it as much as possible...
