Photography, media, culture, music, art, design, fashion, film, dance, salsa, to name but a few. I love anything that feeds my senses and want to make the most of them. Love the creative and to open my eyes to the world - the reason why I love travelling too (especially if it's sunny! It's in the blood)
some of the things I appreciate :0)
Open thinkers I can smile with, that have respect for themselves and others. I pity the fool who can't share interesting thoughts, experiences, and a laugh! ...... or a good meal in Nandos. It's all about the chicken. Mine's a quarter medium breast with fries and a corn on the cob. Thank you.

If it's got a good bass, melody, beautiful voice or some heavy layering (and strings. I love strings. ooo...and love to feel the bass in my stomach), then I'm in. My heart is with R&B, soul, and hip hop, but I'm into D&B, breakbeats, salsa/latin, funk, pop (including a bit o' cheese!), funkaay house, indie, rock....... music feeds my mood and soul, so just ask me what I'm feeling that day :0)
Beautiful
Aaaahhh, the world of movies. Take me on a journey please.

Fave character actors at the mo: Giovanni Ribisi, Paddy Considine, Sam Rockwell, Jeremy Piven and Nick Frost (hee hee).
Christian Bale - a fantastic actor and pretty gorgeous with it....AND he's British! COME ON!!
Shane Meadows and Michel Gondry are genius directors.
Music videos - I tip my hat to Hype Williams's directing. Boy he was gooood
The Cadbury's Gorilla ad scares the hell out of me :0(
The Greeks asked only one question after a man died - did he have passion?
There are people I admire for many different reasons. There are names people all know but the spirits that have touched me more and helped me move forward are people I have crossed paths with, even if it's in such a simple small way. There's no individuals I could call a 'hero'. There's a quote I love - "Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized". I look up to people from all walks of life that step up to the plate to live and strive for their passions.
If heroes are meant to inspire, then part of my heart will always be with my father - poojah will always miss you dad. This girl's trying to make you proud. R.I.P
