Interests
General
Get This Badge travel, music, reading, writing, poetry, movies-especially foreign film, art, photography, dance, and new experiences. Maybe you.
Music
world music, jazz, hip-hop (esp. old school), R&B, blues, calypso, classical, neo-soul, salsa, merengue, a little reggaeton, just about everything. I like 80's pop and even have a vintage collection of techno, go-go, and house from the 90's. 10,000 years? Christmas Playlist
Movies
I love foreign films, sci-fi, action-especially martial arts, comedy, drama, suspense, some westerns, a few musicals. I love movies! I hope to build my collection.
Television
Law & Order, BETJ, Def Poetry, Bill Maher, WEEDS, the Closer, House, Grey's Anatomy, old ER. I hate to admit it, but new ER should just flatline. I was a diehard stan. Now I.just.don't.care. Speaking of flatlining, R.I.P. Sleeper Cell, Rome (there was something about Marc Antony...OK Vorenus and Pullo, too...the show was well written, but I would have cast someone else as Cleopatra; a woman of color, perhaps), Barbershop (Showtime series--boo Showtime), the Wire, and all but the last 2 seasons of the Sopranos. Those last seasons were a waste of everyone's time and money. Despite this long list, I only see these shows a couple times a year. I don't watch much television.Books
My favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I also like books by Pablo Neruda, Toni Morrison, David Sedaris, Molly Ivins, Carl Hiaasen, Alex Garland, Amy Tan, Haruki Murukami, Anchee Min, Louise Erdrich, Kahlil Gibran, Haki Madhubuti, Walter Mosley, Shannon Holmes, Donald Goines, Bill Bryson, William Safire, and many many others. I love to read! I'll try to post what I'm currently reading from time to time.
Heroes
Ordinary people who do extraordinary things--and I don't mean that damn show! I mean people who step outside of the realm of the expected to make a real contribution to society. You probably know several, you just don't know it yet.

About me:
I'm really down-to-earth and laid back. A seeker, I am a true Aquarius: I make my own path in life and have eclectic tastes. I am a grounded dreamer. I am logical, yet non-linear. I am a peaceful warrior. I have a thirst for experience and feast on life as if I were in Valhalla. (In other words, I'm a challenge and a handful; I'm easy to get along with and definitely worth getting to know!)| ABOUT ME: THE SURVEY | |
