I listen to Etta James, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday... the three great ladies of heartache and grief...to Beethoven, a man who knew the silence of pain...to Yanni and don't give a damn who knows it. My heart belongs to Steve Perry because he reminded me that its 'easy to fall' and then led me past the pain because, after all, 'its just the rain'... I am here! Of course, I have also come to love rump shaken, booty smackin, body freeing rap, r&b and anything else that makes me want to dance, dance, dance!!
Movies
In black and white I love "Now Voyager", "All About Eve", and anything else that makes me remember that Bette Davis knew how to work it. Also, "Immortal Beloved", "The Red Violin", "Raise the Red Lantern", all of the "Lord of the Rings". To make me laugh just put on "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", "40-year old Virgin", "Deuce Bigilow 2" and "Van Wilder" or "Super Trooper" (Good enough to f... yer mother!!), "Harold and Kumar Go To WhiteCastle" is pure genius!

"Memoirs of a Geisha", "Behind Mud Walls", "The Prophet" (all Gilbran books), the poetry of Rumi and Tagore, "Jesus and Buddha as Brothers"... and the Readers Digest condensed version of 101 ways to crepe paper a glass bowl for cheap re-gifting :P
Heroes
The guy on the street who gives a dollar to a homeless man without questioning what he will do with it, the lady who doesn't think twice about volunteering at a school even tho her children are grown, a person who sees a wrong and does not hesitate to make it right, those who HAVE and they find ways to help those who don't have, and anyone who sees a broken heart and tries to ease the pain by just... being there.

I WILL LET OTHERS SPEAK FOR ME:
"She is a woman of supressed passion, frustrated intellecutalism, a sincere romantic filled with overt eroticism, controlled cynicism, questionalble existentialism but...a rare beauty that goes unseen with a heart of liquid gold" - my sweet friend Carl J. Williamson
"What can I say... she's amazing...she's beautiful inside and out...her laugh is contageous...her cry hurts my soul...her humor and wit are razor sharp... and she can cook...oh yea, do NOT piss her off!" - Alan Werner
Who I'd like to meet: My Conversation with the Moon:
...The moon asked
"where is your smile?"
...and I replied
"I have given it to someone who needed it more."
...Perhaps he will return it someday - J.J.
Once there was my love light...but now the light shines alone...perhaps one day the light will look for me again...I am not far away...so shine bright in the darkest of nights...I will come without fail...with the secret name you alone know...all else is silence...JJ/1106
