Wow. So we'll start the list here...
Gummi Worms, because bears are for panzys.
Wheelies.
S+E+O= $$$
The Continents. Yes all 7, hold no bias. All 7.
Boobs. What?
Punching Bags are only 2nd to food.
Ranch on Pizza, it's like butter on toast.
Sarcasm. Because, it's FUNNY.
Honesty, Because it's FUNNY!
Music
Just coming out of an eclectic benge.
Radiohead, Postal Service, Thievary Corp, Morcheeba, Mogwai, Zero 7, Stereolab, Imogen Heap*, Frou Frou, Lamb, Nightmare on Wax, Donna De lori, Morbis, Coldplay-
followed by a little jazz- Miles Daves, Coltrane, Ray Charles, Artie, etc... my classics-John Mayor, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews (Band)
Bringing up the rear I'm boycotting today's thoughtless hip hop (minus a few) Listening to a bit of Common Sense, Talib Kwali, Mos Def,Luda,The Roots, The Last Poets- Forever and always that n*gga Jigga and ofcourse Tupac.
Movies
Some to Mention- Rounders, The Bourne Series, Boiler Room, Gladiator, Matrix, Bad Boys I & II, Kill Bill, Fight Club.....and lastly but not leastly, Friday because I'm a guy. My new favorite - The Kingdom...
Huge fan of anything Edward Norton. Anything Denzel Washington, Robert Redford, or Pacchino. With these guys delivery is key. Comedies are a must and the charts are topped by D. Chappelle, Robin Williams, Vince Vaghn or Owen Wilson. Again, delivery is key. But my favorites are movies that are psychological/artistic/ or mentally engaging. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Being John Malchavich, Pulp Fiction, Crash, Traffic, Blow, 21 Grams, The Red Violin...

The one "Must Have" in life = Balance. Without it you waste. what’s most valuable -- Time
I am setting life up for an over due pilgrimage. I am the kind of person who must have reason. I live in a perpetual state of wonder and curiosity.
My secret purpose: To acquire knowledge.
I am plagued by two questions.
1) How?
2) Why?
If you can understand just that, you understand 90% of how my brain works.
And who better to take as my teach than mother earth herself.
If I were told to name one guilty pleasure Id say….Farting
Don’t ask. Something’s you are just born good at.
Wonder why they call me "stinker". [insert Cheshire cat laugh here]
I do have a dark side. Two actually. Usually you can only see me at night if I smile. So I smile often.
The sexist thing a girl could say to me?
“All in”
What’s next?
Austriallia
The se7en ingredients that make me whole.
Jesus. Poker. 2 Boxing Gloves. An Ipod. A good book (Currently: Getting Things Done - David Allen). A fridge. And plans for tonight…
Life is short.
Let’s make this thing memorable…
..
..
Who I'd like to meet:
The world. There are so many lands,cities, and valleys for me to see. Every culture with their own essence. My personal quest is to meet as many as possible.
So in short... People with purpose, People with Flavor... Anyone out there living out or chasing a dream, goal, or passion.
