...
Movies
This is ever evolving, but i fuks with 'WARRIORS', as they come out to playyyeeeeyaaaay...the tone of City of Lost Children, La Haine, El Norte, Wild Style, Amores Perros, suits me...'28 DAYS has righteous music.' V:Vendetta = hot...'City of God' is love, gone bad - beautiful. The 3-movie series 'Red', 'White' & 'Blue' are lovely. J Cliff's "THE HARDER THEY COME". Animated toons, whether Disney, Anime, Woody Woodpecker, Heavy Metal or Tripl o' Bellville, Madagascar...other dark or light pieces that make me believe...
Television
TV - don't have one - NOO time really...not a hater though: 'House' is fly...I work on a still dig 'Law and Order'...Make-ova (people, homes, yards, dogs) shows are always fun..Ol' school movies (60's spy shows are the 'ISHHH, SEXY sexy), yah, yah...
Books
Fucking A (which IS a book), Hamlet & Medea(always), Zephyr(Dondi), House of Leaves...I am Legend...Most Anais N, Pablo N...Salman Rushdie, Didion, Lowry, McCarthy and some theatrical writers (go!, go!) are groovy as well, but so are Kan Kick's liner notes. Strauss, Covey and Chopra have opened my eyes on a few things too.
Heroes
It's cliche, but mi' parents (MASSV LOVE & RESPECT, E' (RIP) & J') are the bravest souls I've known or read about - true respect of the highest form. The sun, the wind, the rain, the snow, the sky, the night. Cucumbers. The underdog.
About me: 2007 - Hey! Forwarning: If I fall in any way, I laugh out loud about it, and continue on...I usually get to a point where I'm lost in sound - music takes me on wonderful journeys...I'm at ease w/knowing more solutions and thoughts come to me upon awakening every morning; though I'm a thorough night-hawk. I LOVE ideas, WORDS, anticipation, and passion, as if they were people. Hell hath frozen over, we ALL are in the beyond, & mindful warriors (of the completely mixed-funk'y-Voodoo-children realm - read: I) now walk the earth. I'm but one of those - Open,
Understanding,
PROGRESS.
For those who pay attention, I may be one to actually check for. I'm at ease w/so many in so many situations, I fear noone, nothing.
About mine? Basics - me = a nice guy (But can look like the MEANEST muuuuuuufka, yo). Got no choice but to rep' that way...What is "I" could be considered a bit spiritual, a bit tempermental, a bit realist - I mean damn, I like things cold when they should be hot; I was born lucky enough to have a patience that's at ease with change. I LEARN everyday. I'm a host of contradictions, and am ok w/that. I do something better than 95% of the popluation does...
'Ey, sometimes it's hard being human on the 'boulevard'. Mostly though, to live & move is a true GIFT. Let's chat about it...
Be aware - my FOCUS is the shizz'nit.
Of course there's more...Behold My Life...Bless...
Who I'd like to meet: Other "SUBJECTs" (or really, cool-ass peeps). Fellow laughers. The passionate. Jedi's of sorts. Some unafraid of being just what they naturally are, physically, spiritually...indeed, I'm into those that have ENERGY, creative-tendencies & TRUE openness...Just keep things real, & tis all good. Oh - seriously - all of this is truly about making friends - I see that as GRAND. If you have no fear of dancing, whether in a class, cipher on the dance floor, or alone in your mind, I already like you. ALOT.
In the coming meantimes', say YES to that morning free-flow'd thought we each naturally have, & ooooooh to anticipation... and For now, breathe in ill vapors of bright stars & time...Soul is infinite, like figure 8's - THAT's the nicest, & is I N I...One, pinda...
